How do you choose a thread title?

    I either pick a saying, a song title or be really boring and just use a description of the thread (like "the brother and the sister"). I've seen some masterlist sites with a bunch of titles, but I don't use those often. I also sometimes accidentally use the title of another thread I've seen pass by because the title will get stuck in my head and I forget where I've seen it.

    Song names are sometimes great for thread titles! Or using quest names from MMOs - sometimes there's some catchy ones there. There's a huge database of Wildstar quests (gosh I miss that game!) and some of them are so perfect for thread titles that I would've never been able to come up with on my own.

    Usually I have music that I associate with a specific character, and I often find thread titles from their song titles/lyrics. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes I overthink it waaay too much.

    definitely a song or a lyric i'm listening to at the time, but i'll sometimes just pick a random thing out of thin air and hope for the best!

    Also team song lyrics. Sometimes I'll use a quote from the character or media for canons and fandom. Either that or just something short and sweet to describe the thread.

    Something random.
    I've gone with...

    Ukulele Trout
    Pineapple Squid
    Gestalt Theory
    Emoji
    CYMK

    And more
    Some will be longer, but I can't remember those off the top of my head

    Sometimes if I can't even think of random things, I'll ask my RP partner for ideas
