Thank you to everyone who participated. It was so much fun seeing everyone's title submissions, and I hope you all enjoyed creating from them!

Assignments are out!

Titles were emailed to everyone last night. They came from insert.title.fandom@gmail.com, with the subject line "[Insert Title Here] assignment". In retrospect, my attempts at aesthetic might have been confusing to spam filters, so please check your spam folders. If you haven't received your titles, please reach out on here or via email and we'll get it sorted out.

Sign-ups Closed

Sign-ups are now closed! I'm working on compiling all the responses, and titles will be going out in the next few days.

Welcome and Info

Welcome to the inaugural year of Insert Title Here, a title-first fic challenge.

We've all been there: you finish a fic, it's beautiful, you love it, it's all ready to post, and then the realization hits you. You need a title.

Insert Title Here solves that issue from the get-go. Here, you start with the title, and use that as a jumping off point for creating a fic.

The Basics:
During the signup period, participants provide 1-5 potential fic titles. At the end of sign-ups, everyone will receive 3 titles from the submissions. You can use all of your titles, or just one, whatever floats your boat.

All fandoms/pairings/ratings are welcome. There are no word count minimums or maximums.

Important Dates:
Sign-Ups: Feb 9 - March 3 (Signups will close at 7:00am Pacific Time. Check your local time here.)

Titles sent: March 3-5

Assignments due: April 2 at 11:59pm PDT (check local time here) You can find the collection for posting here.

Works Revealed: April 5 at 9:00am PDT (check local time here)
