Which Title do you like best?
I don't usually have any difficulty with titles, but this one leaves me flummoxed. Which one of the two in the poll do you like best?
This will be a collection of 50 Flash Fiction pieces, with 12 yet to be written. Those two titles reflect the names of two of the 50 pieces already written. Thank you. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 06-09-2016 at 09:34 AM. |

What is the genre?
3 things came to mind with the first one. Dogs, food and never mind. Though I pick the first one. |

For me, both titles sound like they could be themes for a collection more than titles of individual stories in the collection which could create some confusion in the reader's mind about what to expect (unless one of them could be a theme).

After consideration (and so MUCH consideration over this issue), I've been wracking my brain for something that would carry through on that idea that you mention. So far, I have this (but it may be too cliched): "Tales That Wag The Leg" --- Thank you for your thoughts on this. |

If there was anything at all...a hint of the story, anything...I'm sure we'd all be happy to pitch in with our (speaking entirely for myself, of course) utterly worthless suggestions.
Dangerous Dogs? Devil Dogs Gone Wild? Doggy Devils Gone Wild (depending on what type of "weiner" this is...) Hot Dog Hijinks? Wag Me Not? I don't know. The toothpick thing really left me flat, because I had trouble trying to parse it. Employee of a toothpick? In a toothpick factory? I couldn't get a feel from it. Anyway...happy to play if you'll just point us a WEEE bit further in the right direction--or wrong direction, or what-have-you. Hitch |

I picked Dangerous Weiners, although I may have been influenced by all the politicians in the news this year. Even if you decide on another title for this collection, keep it in reserve.

"Tales From the Back of my Head" |

I like that one a lot better than the other two.
