30-Day Fanfiction Meme: Day 17
I'm going to get through this meme if it kills me. I started it what, two months ago? *sigh*
Day 17: Titles - Are they the bane of your existence, or the easiest part of the fic? Also, if you do chaptered fic, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
Title are much the same as summaries to me. They usually come in the middle of the fic, they come easily to me, and I have a knee-jerk reaction to avoiding fics that have egregiously bad grammer in their titles. As for chaptered fics, it really depends. I named the chapters more when I first started posting, but I still do it sometimes. Like when I have a general themed idea for the fic. I have an unfinished, unpublished KaiAo fic that's bridge-themed; burning, rebuilding, and crossing. If that ever gets finished, the chapters will be titled accordingly (the problem is that the rebuilding section just kept going on and on and on...).

In other news, I finally got a haircut after intending to pretty much all summer. The problem was I had only the vaguest idea how I wanted it, and last time I went in with just that, it... didn't go well. I've been having problems finding a picture because I want a haircut, not a lifestyle, you know? Something that just plain looks nice, without spending half an hour on it. And it turned out pretty good, which is a win because every haircut that isn't a fail is an automatic win. I'm that desperate for a haircut I like. And it means my curl is back too. There's this lock of hair on the left side of my face that insists on curling up and tickling me. It was long enough before that it was driving my ear nuts and I kept having to clip it back, and now it just sort of rests on my cheek. Kind of like this: http://www.court-records.net/arts/site%20minuki%20face.png. It's adorable.
