What We Did to Ask Your Opinion

Please note that I am aware that most of you have not read this book, so you are not being asked to comment on whether the title works well for the specific book I've written. (Although if you have read it, feel free to e-mail me with opinions on how the title worked for you.)

[Poll #1294645]

Also, if you ran across a book called What We Did to Save the Kingdom, what, if any, preconceptions would you have about it? (Funny, serious, high fantasy, swashbuckling, sword-wielding protagonist, lots of boats, whatever.)

I like it, but I suspect a marketing department will hate it.

I have had similar suspicions, which is why I raise the question.

It would be good to have a short, catchy backup, if you can think of one.

I hate titles. Where's [livejournal.com profile] zed_lopez when we need him?

Oh, right: in California where he was last time we looked. Never mind then.

I should say, to me, it sounds good-ironic-Zelaznyesque-fairy-tale-deconstructive, in the mode of Bring Me The Head Of Prince Charming, say.
