In my defense, I used "A Case Study," because I don't want anyone to think that I've used 50 narrators or something. This is a VERY beginning study of one person...well, actually, one story from one person.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

FWIW, vw, I wasn't knocking any of your titles, just tangentially riffing on the Blah Blah Pretentious Literarycakes: A Novel phenomenon. I do think the "Case Study" title was a bit too long, but not pretentious.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
No defense needed, vw! It's a habitual tic in the book world, which makes reactions like mine something to be aware of -- but there are both legit cases for it, and plenty of opportunity for you to make your methodology clear within the thesis. You don't have to explain it all in the title in this case.

Oh, sorry. That was awfully touchy. Didn't mean for it to be...just explaining my reasoning, which clearly wasn't necessary.

I love The Inheritance of Stories, with Narrative Inheritance coming in second. For the sub title Oral History as Literature gets my vote. It will be clear that it's a case study within a few sentences of the introduction or abstract or whatever you thesis writers start off with, right?

Question for people who've been on the Pill: how long is it supposed to take before you start bleeding once you get to the white pill part of the cycle? I've been on the white pills for two days now, and I've got cramps, but no blood.

Hil, you're right on schedule. I usually get my period about 2-3 days after starting the placeboes.
