Pick five, or ten, or more, of your fic titles. List them in your journal and explain how you came up with each one. Post this prompt as well, so that the meme spreads.
The Paninaro of Angry Weasels Named Flibble - This one was... A work of art, or perhaps a work in obscurity. 'Paninaro', first. It's a Pet Shop Boys song, that's quite boppy, with a real Euro-trash feel too it (which was sort of the feel I was going for the fic. A sort of... creepy, gothic European thing, rather than your average American horror pastiche). I don't remember why there were weasels. Perhaps because I wanted to be amusing. 'Flibble' is a Red Dwarf reference (as is 'Angry'), to the puppet of one Mr. Rimmer. The puppet was named Mr. Flibble, and Rimmer once said, "Mr. Flibble is very angry." And, here, again, I was trying to pull on the twisted, fucked-in-the-head feel Rimmer had during this episode (he was off his rocker). I was also trying for humour. I mean, this WAS Pete Wisdom and Rupert Giles. Trying to work together.
When Life Is Common, I Have No Doubt, No Angry Drama, The Storm Blows Itself Out - These four small pieces all interlock, and are all lines from the Pet Shop Boys' song "Only the Wind". It's a nice song, with a melancholy thread, but there's also hope in it. And it felt right for small pieces set in the quiet of the pub with Excalibur.
The Whole Story - The title to Kate Bush's compilation album, and since every section of this fic is titled with a song title from it (and was organised that way--I think I listened to them a lot, tried to get the flavour in to them...)
There's a Dream That Spans The Road - 'With broken glass for us to hold. And I get so far before I have to say. Please, please, tell me now, is there somethin' I should know. Is there somethin' I could say...' etc. A line from a Duran Duran song, chosen because there's Xavier's dream, which only Longshot follows, but Pete and Dakota could easily get caught up in it.
The Chosen Few - A pun. On many things. On Nathan Dayspring being the Chosen One. On Buffy Summers being the Chosen One. And Faith. On Earth itself being the Chosen Whipping Planet for the multiverse... You get my drift? *g* On Shadowlands being the best shared universe...
