What We Did to Ask Your Opinion

[mrissa]

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.)

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'm not awake enough/too vertiginous this morning to have preconceptions yet. Plus I peeked at the comments so now I can't get shake loose from my brain the question of whether it sounds YA or not and I honestly don't know. FWIW I totally love YA fiction so that's not a problem necessarily.

It does sound kinda self-aware, but I don't know whether I would assume earnest people surmounting insurmountable obstacles, or whether it'd be smart and funny. Or whether it would involve a lot of people voting Democrat FINALLY. It would depend on the cover art.

No ballot boxes on the cover. I know authors don't get to control cover art, but I promise, it would be completely insane to put ballot boxes on the cover of this and would represent a psychotic break on the part of the art department of whatever fine publisher chose to buy it.
