I hope this is a good place for this if it's not then feel free to smack me for it (or just delete it and tell me where to post it )
I have the hardest time coming up with titles for my stories. Is it just me? It seems like everywhere I look people have catchy titles that make me want to read their work. My titles end up being cliche no matter how hard I try to think of something original and eye catching.
Which brings me to why I created this thread...I need help! I have a story that I'm currently working on that needs a title so I'm going to post a short synopsis here and if anyone has any ideas feel free to shout them out.
Premise of the Story: An eighteen year old guy, just out of high school, lives with his mom who's a druggie. In short, she runs up a big tab with her dealer and then he takes the kid in to his boss to see if they can make a deal for him to work off her debt. Oh and it's not his choice because if it was up to him he'd let his mom wallow in her own crap so he's a bit pissed about the whole thing as you can imagine. So the boss gives him a choice, he can run drugs or do Gay for Pay porn to pay off her debt since it's one of his side businesses. The kid's not gay and he doesn't end up falling in love with any guys. This is not a romance story! It's more humorous as the guy bumbles his way through figuring out how to have sex with guys even though he's not attracted to them and the situations that come up because of doing gay porn...you get the picture.
Okay so who has an idea for a title? I will do anything if someone can just give me a suitable title! So far Magusfang has been helping me but we haven't come up with anything I really like. The closest we've come is The Debt which seems a little vague to me but maybe it's good?
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I just got done reading the first chapter of a story, it was a m/m slash original. The word count was 1,564 words and the author used the MC's name twice, once in dialog when another character said it. The rest of the chapter he was referred to as the intern (5), the brunette (2), the slim intern (1), the slender intern (1), the slim brunette (2), the young man (2), the brunette intern (3), the young intern (3)(yes I went through and listed all of them) and my absolute least favorite the smaller male (1).
I felt bad because I had to quit reading after the first chapter and she'd asked me to review her work. I ended up sending her a pm with my critique because I didn't want my own bias to color other reader's opinion before they read the story.
Why can't people use their character's names or just him or he? I can see maybe once to get out one of the character's attributes but come on, it's so annoying. It totally ruins the story for me because I can't get past it. It's gotten to be my biggest pet peeve and I've even begun to notice it happening in published works lately.
Why has this become a thing lately and how do we make it stop?
Is it just me or does this drive anyone else crazy?

I read it and I think as far as PWP goes it was well written. Of course I needed to look up your martian, he's green! For some reason that made me laugh...

Please please, pretty please, can you update!!! Oh wait, I'm still on the first book, stop writing so I can catch up!! *runs and hides so the legions of magus fans can't find her*

Now, now children, settle down. I'm pretty sure that magus isn't giving out prizes for the youngest reader...

Review replies for Falling for Him Chapter 15
Psy-girl: I think this is probably a review I missed for chap 14 but I didn’t want to leave it out. Sorry, I’m not trying to tease you, check out chap 15
Rukia Isaioi: Also from chap 14, Yes, Lex is going really slow with Gavin because he can tell that the doc is skittish. Read chap 15 for the reply to the rest of your review.
Kew: Ahh thanks, you’re awesome for leaving such a nice review! I’m glad you’re enjoying the story.
Jo (1st review): I did but only because you asked so nicely.
Than: Yes it was about time for them to stop being boneheads, I agree wholeheartedly!
FortunateM: Thanks for your review. I’m always happy when people get the dynamic I’m going for in the relationships. Gavin will hopefully prove that he is in fact not a ‘shrinking violet’ at some point. Some people just need the love of a good man to help them flourish. Thanks for your continued support.
Peabody: Glad you thought it was sweet, sorry about the lack of sex but I’m trying for something a little bit more than porn. (Ah who am I kidding check out the next chapter)
Housewolf: Yes they did finally figure out they were on the same page. Obviously there will be bumps along the way to their happily ever after. Thanks for your continued support.
Hazel: I’m glad you’re enjoying both my stories and never fear, I never abandon my stories. Your review did kick my butt in gear and I’ve almost got the next chap of Loving Sarajevo ready too!
Lisa: Chap 14 review: I love your reviews they’re always enthusiastic and a joy to read. Stop booing poor Gavin, he is just misunderstood.
Jo (2nd review): Yay, thank you for reading the review replies…of course I appreciate my readers, I love you guys! Without all of you letting me know that you’re actually reading the story and enjoying it (mostly) there would be no reason for me to write it. When I posted my first story I almost gave up because it didn’t seem like anyone was enjoying it enough to tell me except of course FortunateM and Zas, they were what kept me posting because even writing for one person’s enjoyment is enough for me. I’m really glad you enjoyed the chapter and I’m considering posting a couple of the threesomes that I cut…stay tuned.
Aduial: I’m glad you like the story and the characters, like I said before I’m really trying to make the story interesting and have a plot, not just porn…so good to know that it’s somewhat engaging.
Lisa: Yes they are and it’s about time.
So that’s about it. Thanks so much to everyone that rates and reviews and also to the people that just read but are too shy to review, I’ve been there myself but I know you’re there and I appreciate you too.
Chapter 16 is going up now!

I'm sorry but I'm laughing over here. Not because it's funny but because I've held off on asking anyone to beta my stories for me for the same reasons as you're freaking out about. I'm afraid that they'll tell me to stick to writing excuse notes for the kiddies and leave the real writing to the professionals.
Though my grammar isn't usually that bad, I used to have a problem with run on sentences but I've gotten much better with that, I have a wandering mind. I'm not sure sometimes if my stories bounce around like my thoughts do or if they are more coherent. Oh look a butterfly...
I'm sure that you're harder on yourself than you should be. Hearing someone pick apart your work will probably not be easy but maybe you'll end up with an amazing finished product for your readers to enjoy.
