A silly, pointless poll.

Never encountered the concept. Care to explain?

Sorry, my bad. Obscure reference gone too far, I suppose.

It looks just thrilled to be held like that, doesn't it?

How are you submitting it? Assuming it's a Literotica piece?

One big whacking chunk. It's got only one real sex scene, and it's pretty much all connected - not really chapter-izable.

(If that's what you meant?)

I would think of a will, like last will & testament. the concept is pretty popular as a point of crisis in stories.

Gah. Should've thought of that.

Common Name: Whippoorwill http://www.cesa10.k12.wi.us/Ecosystems/woodlands/birds/whippoor.jpg

Description-Identification: Robin sized, a leaf brown the male has brood white tipped feathers. The female has brown feathers on its tail.

Habitat & Range: Dry open woodland near fields. Breeds from Saskatchewan east to maritime provinces and south to Kansas, North Louisiana, and North Georgia.

Nesting: 2 white eggs scrawled with gray and brown, place on the ground among dead leaves.

Voice: A loud rhythmic whippoorwill

Other behavior: The eggs are most often hatched when the moon is full. This is a time when the parent birds are best able to hunt and supply the greatest amount of food.

Folklore: An unmarried women would listen for a call of the whippoorwill, one call meant she won't get married for a year. Three calls meant she will be destined to be a spinster. Two calls meant impending matrimony.
The repetitious calls were often considered an omen of death to the Omaha Indians. The Ute Indians believed that the whippoorwill was the god of the night and could magically change a frog into the moon. Iroquois believed that the lady slipper was the whippoorwill's shoe.

Wow. That'll be a very big whacking chunk (with a smaller whacking chunk in the middle).

It's a remarkably fast read, though. At least to me.

Is already it submitted? Or did you get a sneak peek?

Sneaky peek. And an awfully kind gosling she was. *nuzzle*

goatsucker. Like the nighthawk.

 

[impressive]

On this site? I'd think strong-willed/determined. Elsewhere? Either.

Just honest. It's a beautiful tale.

I'll never turn away *nuzzles*, though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one - this was the first thing that came to mind.

Hmmm. Damned tough to make a call on this. Roughly half of the people would get the key idea from the title. Is that enough, or do I go with a different title ...

I'm wretched with titles.

I'm not good at advise giving but how about you throw out other title options and see if you come up with something that works.

Luck*hugs*

*nods* Good idea. Right now I am bouncing them off of a couple of people who have read it. I think that might be best for finding one that both attracts and is well-knit to the story.

I would assume it would mean a man's name, hence referring to the main character of the story.
