Titles Are the Bane of My Existence

Just did two small fandom lists and while I like Niche Is Neat, I hate the other title. Eck. Am now poking at titles for one-maybe-two Inception lists and a Sherlock BBC, or possibly an all-the-Sherlocks, list. The latter is not going well. I am apparently stuck in the first person? All I've managed to come up with is "I'll Unravel You (Just Give Me the Time)" and "I Can't Read Your Mind (I Don't Have To)".

I HATE settling for a crappy title, because then it'll just irritate me every time I see it on a masterlist, instead of making me happy, like "Memory Is Organic (It Breaks Down)" or "Nobody Wants the Space Clap".

Nobody Wants the Space Clap may be one of the funniest titles ever :)

Y'know, I stumbled onto that comm (probably from reading your journal, although I can't actually remember how) and made a folder of possible rec lists. And then I forgot. So thank you for reminding me I want to do that.

I'm so bad at titles I occasionally reuse them, which just makes it utterly confusing six months later when I've forgotten what both fics are about.

I really like "Memory Is Organic (It Breaks Down)".

I think you should do the all-the-sherlocks and call it Read All the Sherlocks. Sort of like cleaning all the things, except reading and also Sherlock Holmes related. :I I like Nobody Wants the Space Clap.
