Rename the series!

[anijen21]

Stop me if this has been done before:

I was thinking about the names of the books. I think if you identify the regular series books by their names, you are in the minority. I know I identify the books by number, or, "you know that one where..."

So here is my proposition.

Let's rename the books in the series without adhering to the ridiculous and rigid rules that the publishers did. No "The Invasion," "The Deceased," "The Ridiculous," "The Redundant," whatever. Rename them however you want. For instance, I might rename #2 "The one-shot character that fans unexpectedly loved" or I might rename #3 "The Whiner."

lol idk. What do you think?

Gr8 idea. , so if Marco makes very bad jokes and hes the narrator, then you could call it, "the lame joker?" ROTFL

[anijen21]

as long as that's the book where his jokes are worst, I don't see why not.

I would name #33 "The misleading book that's actually about torture and near-death"

BUT I LOLLED at "the stuff you can find in Ax's meadow, except a lot more of it!"

[Hunter]

ya know, i actually like the name u gave the first book... XD lol

[Chad32]

I'm an official Troper now. Yeah, I like that site. It's easy to get lost if you're not careful, though. Every page links to another page that links to another page, ect.

[anijen21]

I think I am too

if that just involves getting yourself a handle

and yeah ik I went through my binge phase, where I had 20 tabs open at a time and would slowly go through each, opening two or three new ones with each page before I finally, weeks later, started getting linked back to articles I'd already read.

I love that place. And I hate that place. I can't watch a movie or read a book now without going mentally filing every plot device under a trope.

[Chad32]

TV tropes can enrich and ruin your life at the same time. You'll never look at media the same way again.
