Magic... Does Something Wonky?  
It's time to pick the title for Midnight Games.

Magic Fights got no love from marketing. I suck at titles, what can I say.

Current favorite is Magic Strikes. Can you guys throw some alternate suggestions for the title? It has to have Magic in it.

The author of a winning title will get mention in the acknowledgments and will receive an autographed copy of Magic Burns, just like last year. :)

Having just finished Magic Burns (which rocked, btw) this morning, I feel all sorts of motivated for this one. Plus, "Magic Strikes" makes me think it is about a bowling alley. ;) Not that I'll come up with anything better, but here is what I could think of:

Magic Collides
Magic Slams
Magic Knocks
Magic Bleeds
Magic Bangs - but then Kate and Curran *definitely* have to go there... :p

Big Ferret[info]bigferret on May 8th, 2008 10:23 pm (UTC)
Magic Bleeds is a good one.

Magic Storms (er, yuck)

Hmm, I think Magic Stings is my favorite of those suggestions...

Magic Storms is a Mercedes Lackey series, I believe.

If you strictly wanted to bring in the numbers via marketing I'm told that the following words: dragon, elf, unicorn are assured winners :p However, I'll give it some further more serious thought as I would love to win an acknowledgement! AWESOME!

I am also crap at titles. And I don't know what the book is about. But I think "Magic Lies" would be good.
Avocado: Shiny![info]white_serpent on May 8th, 2008 09:57 pm (UTC)
So, is there sex? Because Magic Breeds would totally work!

Um.

Magic Breaks, Magic Cuts, Magic Bursts.

Do you want to stick with a "B" word or deliberately get away from a "B" word?
ilona_andrews[info]ilona_andrews on May 8th, 2008 09:58 pm (UTC)
No, doesn't have to be a B :P

I actually like Magic Strikes. But if that doesn't work, you could try Magic 7-10 Splits.

Magic evolves
Magic lives
