Titles and formatting
So, I think about titles and formatting A LOT. I really like accounts that have consistent titling practices that make it easy to scan the bookmarks, but of course, since I want them to look *just right*, I'm constantly changing mine and unable to decide what looks best.
I think I've tried out all these things for fic (I don't even know where to start with non-fannish bookmark titling or things like bookmarking LJ posts with wallpapers and other miscellaneous graphics, omg):
Fandom: Title
Fandom: Title (Character/Character)
[Fandom] Title
[Fandom] Title by author (Character/Character | RT | 0,000w)
[Fic: Fandom] Title by author (Character/Character | RT | 0,000w)
Other formats I've considered/am toying with:
[Fic] Fandom - Title by author
[Fandom] Title by author - Character/Character, RT, 0,000w.
[Fic: Fandom] Title by Author: Character/Character, RT, 0,000w.
[Fic: Fandom | Character/Character | RT | 0,000w] Title by author
...and many more! But I'm sure that gets the basic point across.
So do you have a titling convention or preference? As is probably apparent, I enjoy listing fandom first, and am having fun abusing [] and (). I think that last one would be really strange looking, but I do sort of like the way it's all just in one set of brackets. I'm not sure how much I like the idea of adding in the "-" yet but I've seen some people do it in LJ titles and it doesn't look awful. I'm waffing about how useful the fic/vid/meta/art prefaces are. *waves hands* It's just hard to figure out what's useful to put where in the title because it seems like everyone's going to be browsing by different tags, including myself.
