Use this handy device to randomly generate titles for books, games and films! Just combine words from the following lists into fantasy titles: 1. Subject: HERO/ES, WIZARD, WARLOCK, ELF, HOBBIT, KING, QUEEN, ORC, UNICORN 2. Object: RING, SWORD, DAGGER, SCEPTRE, SPEAR, STONE, JEWEL, CROWN, THRONE, CASTLE 3. Relevant Astronomical Object: MOON, SUN, EARTH, STAR/S 4. Mood: DARK/NESS, SHADOW, NIGHT, LIGHT, DAWN, SILVER, GOLD 5. Action: QUEST, FALL, RISE/RISING 6. Fillers A, THE, OF, OVER Example: "A Dawn of Unicorns" Or: "The Sun Dagger King's Quest" Or: "Fall of the Hobbit-King's Shadowquest of the Moonsword Castle" ;-) There’s this little joke I invented some time ago: the “Generic Fantasy Title Generator.” Use this handy device to randomly generate titles for books, games and films!

Now I have even less clue what the title on #2 is going to be. No, it isn’t, I just feel weird dumping all the work I did and going with the original title. . .

(Sorry, couldn't resist. ;-)) Jokes aside... I hear that Margaret Mitchell revised the working title of her mega-bestseller-to-be a lot of times, until the title GONE WITH THE WIND arrived. A good title isn't easy to come up with. They wanted a change they could believe in. (Sorry, couldn’t resist. ;-) )
