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.)

Because the book announces, from the title on, that whoever "we" are, we did in fact save the kingdom, I would imagine that the book could get very dark and scary, in the way that fairy-tales do once they establish that, ah yes, the heroine surely will eventually triumph.

If I were reading the book, I would try to figure out who the "we" in the title refers to, and I'd be on the lookout for other groups who are trying to save their vision of what the kingdom is.
