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.)

If I saw that title with no other context I would assume that it was a piece of humorous light fantasy riffing on some known mythological context or other set of tropes (Arthurian lore, etc). I would then further check to see if the words "Tom Holt" or "Esther Friesner" or "Craig Shaw Gardner" appeared in conjunction with it. Et alia.

This.

And also "Diana Wynne Jones" or "Rough Guide to Fantasyland." (All of the above would be a plus for me.)
