Feature: What Do I Title This Effing Story?!

The plot's worked out, you have the ending at last, your characters' voices are coming through clearly, and you feel quite positive about your latest piece of fanfiction/original fiction. There's only one problem.

You have not the slightest idea of what to call your work.
Cut for some thoughts on titles and methods for selecting one )

I have a terrible habit of using one-word titles. "Honesty," "Homecoming," "Dream," "Substitute," etc., etc., etc. This usually sounds either pretentious or just boring, but I seem to have trouble coming up with longer titles. I'm definitely checking out the Random Title Generator. :D

Re one-word titles: I have a strong tendency to do that myself, and when I think it's appropriate, I also try to make them droll at the same time. I'm not sure whether that makes the idea any better, though ... . I did make my beta chuckle with one of them recently.

That random generator is addictive! Moons in the Window! The Silken Slave! (I'm pretty sure I've read that fic). The Naked Lover! (We've ALL read that one).
