Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Countdown: 54 days

I have nothing to say today, so I'll just do the titles meme: stories I wrote in the last year or so, and why I picked those titles.

Sin: Completely unorginal, but at least it fits the theme of the story, and at that time, I could no longer give a shite about titles, I just wanted to get the writing and betaing and publishing over and done with.

Kodachrome: Title of a Paul Simon song, which is technically about high school and not college, but the sentiment fits.

Polar: As I explained in my LJ when posting the first snippet of this, Polar as in polar opposites: Terence and Oliver, Keeper and Seeker, treated gentle and rough by Marcus, and, in this snippet, the swealtering broomshed and the cool dungeons, etc.

Dibs/: I take no responsability for the suckiness of this title, as it was conceived at 5AM on the day of the deadline, so there.

Untitled war!drabbles: Obviously, untitled, but I do still like the title of the first drabble (Requiem). A requiem is a song for the dead, which, y'know, fitted the subject.

Evitar: Spanish for "to avoid, to run away from," which is what Harry's doing in Cuba. Hey, it beats the original title (Twilight, which was not only stupid, but also bore no relation to the story at all.

Gold and Steel: Based on a passage in The Two Towers describing Éowyn.
