Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

This is my dilemma with the lyrics thing. Do I want to title my fic with lyrics from the rickroll song? Yes. Do I want to give away that I'm on coal? Not really.

use a (well-behaved) sock!

Re: your ideal gifts

That was why I was pushing for slightly more plausible deniability than a Rickroll. But coal has spoken.

Using a one or two word title is probably still reasonably anon?

To be fair, Africa or the Baby Shark song are almost just as obvious

Re: your ideal gifts

The be fair, baby shark is way more obvious, and when voting for songs I actually went and checked the lyrics for songs with reasonably versatile title options and rickroll genuinely isn't that bad. Except, you know, in combination.

true

can't wait for the butt call fic titled "you up?"

>Except, you know, in combination.

Isn't that the whole point?

+1000

I feel like Africa has more options for lyrics you could pull where people wouldn'r immediately clock it as song lyrics. And also it's at least slightly possible people would use it non-ironically.

Baby shark is obviously worse than all the other options but Sandstorm. :P

(I am the coalie who brought up Rickroll in the first place though so I do realize this is my own fault.)

bun bun loving coalie is disappointed no one wanted to use 'white rabbit'

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

That was my fave but by the time I had a chance to vote the winner was clear (two of my favorite fics are titled "white rabbit")

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

you have good taste, fellow bun bun coalie!

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

rickroll was bound to come up anyway

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]
