This Thread Title Is Too Long: Absurdly long light-novel titles for your fanfics?

[NebulaDreams]

In one of the PMD servers, we had a Discord discussion about long anime and light novel titles, particularly those in the isekai genre. One of the standout titles is something along the lines of: 'WorldEnd: What Do You Do at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us?'

(and yes, that is real, look it up)

So, this got me brainstorming, and out of boredom, I came up with this forum thread idea since I'm partly procrastinating from writing and need a bright spot in rewrite hell. So, in the same vein as @Negrek's Over-the-Top Anime Titles for Your Fic!!, rename your fanfic titles and possibly chapters if you want. I'll start with my fanfic The Curious and The Shiny:

I'm a Luxray That Can Read, And For Some Reason I'm Stalking This Fullmetal Lucario Because She Can Tell Me About My Memories, But Also Because A Lonely Lion Needs A Friend At Some Point, You Know

First and foremost I need you to know I used this as icebreaker fuel for the kids at the library and asked them to make up anime titles for their lives. My favorite one was “The Pages Between the Books.” Oh em gee. And the title I offered up for myself was “What, none of these kids are mine?! I love them all the same.”

So cheers for that. Much title. Very yay.

Now fic titles!
