I need some more advice. After a few frustrating delays, the novel is back on track. But now I need to come up with the best name for the enitre series. So I decided to seek the help of the most creative people on the planet: Bloggers.
Here are the ideas I have been bouncing around in my cranium. If you don’t like the sound of any of them, feel free to come up with your own ideas.
Alernity.
The Center Of Many Universes.
Between Realities.
The Otherwhere Chronicles.
Otherwhere Stories.
Tales Of Many Realities.
The Center Of Many Realities.
The Crossroads Of Reality.
The Reality Gate.
The Gate In The Sky.
The Adventures Of Arthur Blacke.









Any title using the word “gelatinous”….my favorite word.
Otherwise I liked “Crossroads of Reality”…escapism aside
What if you made reality, subreality? Crossroads of Subreality, Underneath the Veil.
I do like Maddy’s idea of a sub-title…..
If you go with The Crossroads of Reality, Do you need the word “The”? Say it out loud both ways. I feel like without “the” I’m putting myself there….absolutely a personal preference…..
Now you made me wonder if I should start over with more choices… but good comment.
I was put here to slow the wheels of progress….I think you have a great menu to pick from! I was just adding a different angle or 2….dont get stuck in the muck….
Getting stuck in the muck seems to be what I am good at…
Otherwhere Chronicles is crying “pick me..pick me!”
It is doing well in the polls.
Otherwhere Chronicles.
That seems to be the big winner. My daughter says it sounds too much like underwear chronicles.
That could be another series; maybe I should write that one.
I would read that…
I vote for otherwhere
I am leaning that way myself. Thank you.
Otherwhere chronicles stood out straight away for me. Couple of others sound like it could be a self help book, or something set up by a cult.
I am getting some good feedback on that one.
Honestly it leapt out when I read it after waking up this morning. I can imagine it as a movie series too. Who will play you?
Brad Pitt… or Jennifer Lopez.
Can you shorten your name though? JoLo stars as AbRo?
I guess.
Ummmm, The Otherwhere Chronicles of Arthur Blacke?
oooooohhhhhh…….
I like the Adventures of Arthur Blacke, but with a sub-title for each volume. If you’ve got something with humor / satire then longer titles really seem to bring that out, almost a good opening line itself on the cover.
Thanks so much for your input.
TRans-Universal Express
Sounds like a delivery company that ships progressive adult videos… ha!
Spanners? Dimensioneers? Two-timers, Crossovers., One Foot in the Creation, timesetters….
You are good at this. Now I have to start all over again.
I like The Otherwhere Chronicles
+ suggestion: Reality Junction
Ooooooh…
Honest opinions: they all suck, except The Otherwhere Chronicles. That got my attention. What does it mean, otherwhere? Is that a place not here? Is it a question?
No one reads books that somehow remind them of reality, they read books to get away from reality, so ditch that word in any title and remove from your entire manuscript. Plus your novel is great escapist fun, let the readers have their day in your unreality.
You could at least include some flamed-up beavers like attack ships on fire off the shores of Orion… or something. I just stole that. Except the flaming beavers. Fucking rodents. Excuse my language. Fucking language.
That is a lot to take in, but I will try to Vulcan mind-trick or Jedi mind-meld it.
Jedis use Vulcans for toilet paper. Not that Jedis defecate or anything. They just force away their waste. True story.
Good to know.
Are you sure?
Not really. Am I ever sure about anything?
The Adventures of Arthur Blacke — but it might need a sub-title to give a prospective buyer an idea as to what is inside beyond your cover art.
The Adventures of Arthur Blacke
A wild and crazy ride through the galaxies
Not *that* sub-title, but sub-titles work well if you can come up with a good one.
Im like where you are going with this.
Art, help me out here. I did a quick scan/search of your archives and can’t find the synopsis. Is this The Saloon at the Edge of Nowhere? Or is this another book? Do you have the blurb to help me vote on the title?
The Saloon at the Edge of Everywhere… I decided to call the first part that, nad rename the entire series as I am now breaking it up into four parts, with more to come.
Ahh … I do like that title for a part. Ok, let me look over your list again.
Otay.
My favorites are: the Otherwhere Chronicles & The Crossroads of Reality 🙂
Noted.
The Adventures of Arthur Blacke. For something with so many characters I think it’s valuable to have a proper noun in the title. Does the thing take place in an alternate universe? If it does you could call it something like “The Alternative Universe Tales” but of course using the name of the alternate universe rather than the actual words.
Universes don’t have names. And I worry that people will not remember that Blacke is pronounced Black. But I wait to see what kind of a concensus I can get here. Thanks for the feedback.
You say universes don’t have names like everything else in this novel is plausible.
Good point.
I like the Crossroads of Reality. Just one opinion.
And the first opinion, whcih should be worth bonus points. Thank you.
I always like bonus points!! 🙂
Well you just got 57 of them…
