They never have before,
but I'm always willing to try again...

Like the mega lottery, you can't win if you don't take part :)

That doesn't rhyme!

[jongibbs]

Lol, I didn't know it was supposed to :P

The only straight book title I have written out, and the book nearly complete and needing a great deal of revision, and the character mentioned within the title (as sort of a pronoun-type thing, not a name, just an opinion held by those within the novel; and you know how these things are always subject to final change by an editor, assuming the book is accepted for commercial publication, because I sure as Hades can't afford self-publication :P) is The Last Great Mage.

Not submitting the title, though, especially as it's a working one. :P

[jongibbs]

Working titles qualify for entry (as do WiPs) :)

The title refers to a book, purportedly written by the aforementioned Last Great Mage; but sometimes, things are not always as they seem. And yea, I know, Turkey City Lexicon, objects, and all that. I had, and still have, a lot of fun with it, and even invented a four-faceted religion with a fifth (hidden) faction, featuring such lovelies as the Four (which has a secret fifth) Road to Salvation. One through gambling (the one character I did as one of the dares for a NaNoWriMo a few years back really became a major character, and has sort of turned into a token Living Saint of Gambling, for the Salvation Through Gambling chapter of the sect - and yea, I've had a lot of fun with it so far)

On an unrelated note, now that I've started keeping an eye out for one word I use a lot ("just") and editing them out, another word arises ("actually"). No one warned me this would happen.

[raisinbottom]

Probably not.

[jongibbs]

Oh dear :)

What is judging based on? I tend to hate titles...sometimes it's harder than writing the story!

[jongibbs]

Hi MaryBeth,

In the early rounds, people vote for any title they think should proceed to the final. The titles which make it through then face-off in a nail-biting battle to win a Puddle.

Also, the winner gets a prize :)
