Gripe: I think Florence + the Machine are the bees knees. But please stop using her song lyrics for fic titles, m'kay?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Titles are hard.

They are! But the bandwagon jumping onto F+tM is ridic.

Both of my fics are essentially song titles. But for one the song didn't come until after the title was chosen, and it ended up aligning with a Platters song, and the other was a Blonde Redhead song title where the lyrics lined up nicely. And I don't care if you get the reference (my other pet peeve is every author letting you know just where such and such mundane detail came from. If I can't get it from the fic, it's not relevant to me. It's like DVD commentary. If it didn't make it to the screen, or even past a deleted scene, it doesn't really count for me. The rest is personal gratification that I'm not concerned whether the reader gets my internal choices or not.

Okay, so I wrote a novel titled Carpetbaggers, about the Pevensies settling into Narnia. What comes after carpetbaggers? Expatriates? Colonists? Settlers? Frontiersmen? Reconstructors?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Pioneers? You need another folksy-sounding word!

Because books.

Outlanders could be cool, but it's sort of specific. I like Expatriates, too.

I've always wondered what happened to them between times. Peter was more than old enough to get married and have kids.
