Title for a short story collection

[Kaje]

So... a friend convinced me it was a good idea to put some of my short stories from this group out as a free collection (under the Kira Harp pen name), both to just have some more YA LGBT freebies out there, and to let folks know this group exists. I'm doing 2 F/F. 1 M/M/M, 2 new trans* and 4 M/M stories.

What I need is a title. I'd thought of "Assorted Shorts" (or maybe "Re-assorted Shorts") with girls' and guys' underwear getting cozy on the cover, but the title isn't in any way unique or specifically LGBT. So folks, any thoughts? Suggestions?

Well, the first thing that popped into my head similar to your idea were:

Brief Snapshots
A Brief Snapshot

Rainbow Shorts
Color My Shorts in Rainbow
My Shorts are Rainbow Colored

[Kim]

Combining a couple of your ideas, Penumbra, I like "Rainbow Briefs."

I like that too :)

[Kaje]

Ooh, I do like that :)

[Kaje]

Or perhaps "Rainbow Shorts"? (I had someone say they had a negative reaction to the word "briefs")

With shorts I think it could include more types of pant wear like shorts, swim trunks, khakis, if you wanted the cover to display the images of lower body wear.

I like Rainbow Briefs the best, but that's just me. Let us know when it's out, I would love to read it.

[Kaje]

I'm still playing around with both the image and the title. The stories will only have two new ones - the two trans* stories (about 6K and 10-12K for the one I'm still writing). The rest are freebies from this group, although with some editing.

I like Rainbow Briefs too .... though I also quite like "Assorted Rainbow Shorts"

good luck finishing the last story and editing the others :)

[Kat]

I'm with K, Rainbow Briefs or Assorted Rainbow Shorts :)

[Macky]

I'm voting for Rainbow Briefs. Great title for a great idea. :)

I think Briefs are more intimate than shorts, but that could just be that there is a diference in word usage. Over here shorts are things we wear to sunbathe which isnt that often given british weather, briefs are the things you wear under your shorts, unless you go comando. is comando and expresion thats in comon usage the rest of the world.

[Kaje]

Yeah, we say going commando too in the US. Here, shorts can be either one (outerwear or under), but are rarely used for women's underwear. Briefs would be underwear for both. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Most of the stories are romantic, although 3 or 4 of them aren't really.

[Kim]

Maybe "A Taste of the Rainbow" or "Prism Glimpses"?

[Kaje]

I'll put those on the list... Titles are not my good thing.

[Gino]

I'd probably have to read one or two to really get an idea how bout "Come on baby light my Undies..." Like the Doors song? Lol

LOL - or not. I'm mostly using stories that are here on the group as freebies already. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... or http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... and so on...

How about

Pieces of the rainbow,
Or
Little bits of the rainbow you could also use "small bites" or "a bite" instead of the little bits.

You could also use sweet in there too and have rainbow coloured cup cakes with bites missing

Now there goes the diet , as im going to end up baking cup cakes.
