In the midst of all this giddy rush of jumping into webcomicking, I've realized I've never come up with an overall NAME for both the comic and the stories that I'm writing with H. It's just always been " Penny Dreadful " in my head but now I come to think of it, seems like every steampunk joker out there has that name associated with their stuff ( ( Read more... )

zugzwang, penny dreadful, writing stuff

I'm partial to London Shadows ... or something like London Shades? (ponders) Tho, honestly, my brain already came up with a Pd logo for the comicbook itself ...

Whatever title that's settled on, you can still totally do the logo, girl :)

Hmm, it's kinda hard to pick a title when I don't know the full scope of the story. I like to find something that hits the main theme, and also has the right feel (i.e. serious, playful, etc). Do you know how you want to present it?

I find London Shadows a bit too goth/noir for this (also seems like "shadow" is one of the more overused words in titles). And I'd probably avoid the non-English titles since most people won't know what they mean.

Archives etc sound a bit dry, but maybe that's what you want? Hmm. On the opposite end of things, maybe something like "Dreadful and Shocking" haha. ;)

While browing the wiki page for "Penny dreadful" I found the term "Story paper" which is interesting. Some of the individual titles might also be worth looking at.

Sorry this is probably not very helpful! At any rate, that video is great. I know I've seen that clip before, but the woman's super intense UNCHANGING FACE is amazing.

Go go dancing is apparently srs bsns.

And on the contrary, your comments are very helpful and given me some more things to consider..thank you PY! And I am going to totally use " Dreadful and Shocking " in some way in the stories or comics or both, just too good not to use XD

So far as how I want to present it well...the stories do get into some pretty serious and dark stuff. However there is a touch of tongue-in-cheek here and there (glorious melodramas inspired it to begin with, how could there not be? ) I'll think on that
