Quick poll, in fact.
I'm writing.
I finished a sub-part in my fantasy novel, and now the Sci-Fi P.I. plot bunny is demanding its turn.
I'm working on the details of the nine stories that are going to make this "universe".
Funnily enough, I cannot start writing until I have a title, and so, I am currently working on the nine titles (because, yes, I know where the whole thing is going: the plot's been brewing in my head for over a year).
Would you growl at me, or be tempted to curse me, if the titles were in Ancient Greek (*cough* and not translated *cough*)?
Time to vote..........................................

so whats the poll? if the title fits it matters not what language it is.
*glomp* Thanks for helping me!!
I must say I'm a bit afraid that a title in Greek (without the slightest hint of a translation) might make some people drop the book...
I'm the kind who cannot resist a code or a kind of mystery, but I really fear that some readers might find the title "mystery" too boring/demanding/weird/whatever.
But I want to find something "different" for my titles. There are things like "The Case of...", "The Adventure of...", "The One with...". I've seen titles in Latin...
I could choose Hindi or Russian, as well.
Is a non-English, not translated title too much?
*blink*
Or do I pick a different language for each story??? What do you think?
HI!!!! I would love to see it. But as for the general non-academics, they'd likely not have a clue. But the Greek letters might look cool enough to cause them to open the book if there were an interesting bit on the back in a language they *could* read.
Also, sorry I've been scarce lately! But I did my walk last week! I have a tiny degree now! :-)
Congratulations, Sweetie!!!
I figured that the end of the "school" year was barmy on your side, as well. *hugs*
I'd only have the titles in Greek. Everything else would be in English (though I could probably do a "deciphered" version: I started working on the intro, and I have a couple of "international" puns).
Or I blow another fuse, and I invent a code.
Could do it.
Mad enough to do it... ;)
These stories are far from being near ready, but... I've got Play #1 and the first chapter of my fantasy novel if you'd like something to read. :)
