Need help with a title for my series

[Lionheart72]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this... please forgive me if it isn't... but I've written a series of stories and I can't think of a title for the series. I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

To summarize the stories I've written so far:

1) Liz, a sexually open coed, runs into her fuck-buddy Kevin at a party and drags him off for sex, only to be followed by his buddy Brad and ends up in a MMF threesome. (previously published as Two for Liz, http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=452219)

2) Brad's girlfriend Becky confronts Liz about the events at the party, resulting in spanking, domination and FF oral sex. (previously published as Bad Slut, http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=452221)

3) Becky tries to get revenge on Liz by seducing Kevin in his dorm room. Things don't work out as planned, especially when Liz and Kevin's roommate Gary arrive.

4) Becky punishes Liz again, over the events in Kevin's dorm room, and finds out what really happened at the party.

5) Becky breaks up with Brad at a party and orders Liz to have sex Brad, Kevin and Gary as her final revenge.

6) Things get out of hand when a bunch of drunken party goers decide to continue Liz's gang-bang. Becky is forced to join in to save Liz.

Again, the series is mostly written (just need to do a little more editing), I just can't think of title for it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm a little curious why you want to post this as a series.

The traditional wisdom here is that you lose readers over time with a multi-chapter series. Some folks lack the attention span. Others don't want to bother clicking on any title that includes the daunting phrase "Ch. 15." The sole upside is that you're rating drifts higher as only the folks interested in your concept continue on. Too many of Lit's "Top Lists" are choked with late chapter bullshit because of it and frankly it's starting to irritate those of us writing solid one-off stories.

Oops, got on me soap box there. Sorry.

I read the stories you've already posted and your descriptions of the others. I suspect you're having trouble titling this thing mostly because there's no real unifying theme to them.

Absent a theme, you can fall back on something general and a bit bland like:

"Liz Finds Her Way"
"Lizzie's Life"
"The Degredation of Liz"
"Lizzie the Coed's Wild Ride"
"Lizzie's Slutty College Years"

Some titles that are more suggestive that I prefer would be: "At Least I'm Not a Tease" or "Three's Not a Crowd for Liz."

Because it looks as though Becky and Liz may end up being friends/lovers by the end of your series, you could foreshadow it: "Sorry I Fucked Your Boyfriend" or "How Beth and I Met" or "The Twisted Road to Beth" or "Frankly I Like His Girlfriend More."

Hope one of these hits you or at least gets you closer to what you're looking for. And do tell why you're re-working this into a series.

Frankly, I agree with you about series. I almost never read anything with "Ch. 2" in title. However, I tend to write interconnected stories which follow characters through an arc.

I'd love it if, instead of posting it as a series, I could somehow get the site to show links to the other stories with the same characters, or in some other way indicate that "Y story is a follow up to the events in X". Failing that, a series is the only way I know to show the readers that the stories are connected.

Thanks for your input.

(Oh, and you're right about Becky and Liz ending up together... which is interesting because it isn't at all what I planned when I started out but the characters had other ideas.)

I just agree with what Paco said, from what you've published it is a strange kind of series.

You write pretty short chapters/vignettes that leave us going, 'so what?'.
Have you considered putting the whole saga together in one story. I would have been more interested if Becky's revenge had immediately followed Liz's antics.

As well as Paco's suggestions, you could put the parts together in one story, mention once that Liz is Liz Price and give a title like, "Becky gets her Price". seems to work with a single story as you outline it.

You may lose readers along the way with a series, but the alternative is that just as many people will back-click out of anything when they reach the bottom of the first page and see umpteen page numbers. You may lose readers as the story goes along with a chaptered story, but the balancing factor is that your name appears in the new list more often, exposing your work to people who may have missed the last chapter. My experience is that those who like long stories prefer single-sitting chunks, as opposed to single-entry long stories ( I post both ways, depending upon the story, when I write something long )

The toplist/category listing issue is one that's been brought up quite a bit. I suspect that the only reason it hasn't been addressed yet is that it's a bit of a daunting process to do the coding necessary to reorganize the way Lit displays those lists with respect to chaptered stories.

There's certainly been little to no resistance from those of us who write long chaptered stories to algamating them into a single entry/score in those lists, or disallowing individual chapters for consideration in the monthly/yearly contests.

The series feature and "also in this series" coding that's been added in ( fairly ) recent days is most likely steps in that direction. The site just simply wasn't designed with chaptered entries in mind, I suspect.

Thanks for the input folks. It's appreciated.
