Random Fic Title Question

[(Anonymous)]

If you had to guess, what song do you think has been used the most often for titles of fic?

I would guess Kiss With A Fist but that's just a guess

Re: Random Fic Title Question

My Immortal?

Re: Random Fic Title Question

Kiss by a Rose lol

Nah, I don't know, but I imagine it would be a song by...Greenday, One Direction, Evanescence, or a Nick Cave song for the more ~nuanced~ among us.

Although I recently found a story titled after an Aaliyah song it it just made my whole week lol. I knew it was gonna be good -- it had to be! (It was).

See, but do Green Day and Evanescence have songs that make for good fic titles? It's a very specific vibe IMO

And I don't know which Nick Cave song would get used most

Re: Random Fic Title Question

AYRT

You're right, it is a very specific vibe! For Evanescence, i feel like there must be songs named "Lithium" "Tourniquet", or use lines out of "Sober", "My Immortal", or "Wake Me Up Inside". Actually, looking back I wrote a fic based off the lyrics to Lithium XD and that time I decided to name fic chapters in the style of a Panic! At the Disco tracklisting...yikes lol

As far as Greenday goes, and I'm probably dating myself here,but I def. Feel like i saw a host of fic on quizilla named after Green day/Blink 182 songs (and don't get me started on emo/pop punk bands).

As for Nick Cave, I don't know either, but this is also a particular vibe. Red Right Hand? Likely any song off of the Murder Ballads (dark! fic) or The Boatman Calls.

I'll offer up...Skinny Legs or whatever Bon Iver sings, I feel like I've certainly seen that before.

If I was gonna do something, I think I'd quote a line from Leonard Cohen or Damien Rice. But my fic probably wouldn't be good enough honestly lol

My vote is for Hallelujah.

Re: Random Fic Title Question

This. There's an actual Tumblr post that has screenshots of the titles of different fics on AO3 and its the entire lyrics of the song, lol. Pops up on my dash every few years.

See now, this uses the wrong lyrics... no good

Re: Random Fic Title Question

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

LOL that Tumblr post was exactly what I was thinking of!

Re: Random Fic Title Question

[(Anonymous)]

*eyes thread* Well now I don't feel as bad for continually using lesser-known Pink Floyd so much. (Actually just did this again today, sorry not sorry.)

But yeah, Hallelujah seems pretty legit as an answer to this question.

Re: Random Fic Title Question

I use Vienna Teng or Florence and the Machine lyrics if I'm feeling trendy. But most of my fics have one word titles that have to do with the story itself (copying the naming of most episodes in the fandom). One exclusively uses lyrics from a Disney song. Another from a Hunger Games song. I like variety.

It's probably All I Want for Christmas.
