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 can't really say what preconception I'd have of it, because I've known for a while that you were writing a book with that title and so my preconceptions of what a book with that title would be like are all mixed up with my preconceptions of what a book from you would be like. But I think that as others have said, I'd expect it to be humorous and I'd hope it was in a self-aware kind of way, rather like DWJ's The Tough Guide to Fantasyland, and probably appropriate for the YA crowd even if not marketed directly at them.
