Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for starting a fanwork title? One fanwork per line, ‘A’ and 'The’ do not count for 'a’ and ’t’. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fanwork count.

How fun! This game came at an opportune time because I had watched a video about the history of the NATO phonetic alphabet and was spending my days memorising it and thinking about alphabets. Here's some hwa trivia, during long waits or attendances, I play the alphabet game in my head where I choose a category and go down the alphabet naming answers by letter, and I've had to do that a few times recently too. So, alphabets are in my head already.

fanwork by letter: 15/26

WIPs...?

(Some drafts which I can prioritise to feel completionist)

d
e
gambler to the game [idolverse yuri-chicken-baiting]
half-life of angels [a thematic sequel to weight of heaven that is not a true sequel because it's completely different events and a non-canon AU BUT it is from seungcheol's perspective]
j
The nearest thing to life [the title to the murakami/han kang inspired 97z fic in my drafts since 2019]
q
upon a painted ocean [abandoned haikyuu big bang wip set in 1965 Hong Kong, but I've been reusing the title for another wip because I love the idea of a painted ship on a painted ocean]

fic title ideas

(This whole game has me feeling competitive (against no one but myself), so I thought up some titles because when 17hols season comes again, I have a list ready for deployment)

guilty of this conscience
how can I love the heartbreak / half sick of shadows [lady of shallot themed]
