So I Need A Title...

[JaxRhapsody]

I'm working on a story [gasp] and currently can't think of a worth while or any title at all at the moment. I don't even have a working title, it's just Document(4) in my file list. Some ideas to steal point me in the right direction. I've been trying to think of something substantial and not cheesy

So it's an incest story where a guy is looking for his mom to reconnect with her in the next city over. He meets and starts to build a somewhat relationship with a prostitute, who turns out to be his mom and niether knew until they started having feelings for each other.

First person or third person?

The Mom I Never Knew.

The Mom He Never Knew.

How I Met My Mother.

Mom, You Don't Have To Put On The Red Light.

Mom Walks The Streets For Money.

That Whore Is My Mother.

Make sure you put "Mom" or "Mother" in the title. That's principle number 1.

Mom-Son incest is not like other categories. Don't get artsy-fartsy about it. Be direct and simple and go for erotic jugular.

My Mom is a Hooker?!

Rediscovering Mom

I found my Mom on Craigslist

 

[JaxRhapsody]

(Relationship) + (hint at job/catalyst element) = A John and His Mom (It should be noted that I am awful at titles.)

That's actually not bad.

 

[JaxRhapsody]

'Hi Ho.' - 'MOM!'

I need to add you to my list of "Litsers I would meet irl".

 

[JaxRhapsody]

First person or third person?

The Mom I Never Knew.

The Mom He Never Knew.

How I Met My Mother.

Mom, You Don't Have To Put On The Red Light.

Mom Walks The Streets For Money.

That Whore Is My Mother.

It's in third person and that's why I wasn't looking for cheesy or artsy titles, mother, mom has to be in it. This will be my fourth or fifth contribution to the catagory. The title is probably the best part of some of my stories. I don't do crazy or humorous titles, I look at titles in a way that; would this story sit on a shelf at Barnes&Nobles or Walmart, would it slip past KWPs first glance?

Rediscovering Mom

I found my Mom on Craigslist

"Rediscovering Mom" would work if he knew her already. The third one reminds me of this old cartoon called The Replacements and sounds like something you's see at a scholastic book fair. Not being a dick, I'm actually chuckling at the idea and can see the plot of a kid trying to help his widowed father by looking on sell sites to find a mom.

Little Billy wants to make his dad happy and thinks they need a mom. After searching OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace and Ebay, he finds her in the last place he looked; Craigslist, a site of a bygone era.

Please write that. Put it in non erotic of you must, or let the dad have the sex afterward. It's too sweet.

The Price Of Motherhood.

(First thing that popped into my head.)

“How I Met My Mother” is what I would call it. Vague and leaves open various possibilities.

Consider whether you might want to add additional stories and make this a series at some point. That will make a difference in how you phrase the title of this first installment

"My Mom Is My Sidechick - Part One" is an example

 

[Djmac1031]

Sorry, one more:

Loving Mom By The Hour

 

[Djmac1031]

“How I Met My Mother” is what I would call it. Vague and leaves open various possibilities.

My only problem with that one is readers might associate it with the TV show and think it's a parody piece.

 

[Djmac1031]

My last thought for now is:

If I don't have a title right away, (most times the title actually comes first for me,) I'll look for something in the story, a phrase or specific word or wording that would be appropriate to include in the title.

The only trick with that for you here is yes, you definitely wanna get Mom or Mother in the title, given the nature of the story, it's better than any tag you could use.

 

[MajorRewrite]

Make it a Christmas story and call it Ho Ho Ho Mom

 

[onehitwanda]

Mom, I'd like to Fuck.

 

[Djmac1031]

Mom, I'd like to Fuck.

If the OP doesn't use that, I just might. Brilliant.

 

[AchtungNight]

Try ‘My Mother- the Escort.’

 

[lovecraft68]

Reunion with Mom, A Mother's Reunion, either of those works here because of the key word in the title.
I'd leave the sex worker angle out of the title and tag line, some of the mom son purists who want the son to be mom's only lover could get put off early so try to get them invested first

Of course, it's totally up to you. But you asked the question.

My philosophy is (i've said this before): the story is my art, and the rest is advertising. So pick a title that will maximize the number of eyeballs on your story.

I don't always follow this philosophy, but I do when it's mom-son incest, because, let's face it, it's a ridiculous category, and in almost every case it's based on absurdly implausible scenarios. So just have fun with it and try to maximize your readers.

But again, it's up to you.
