Of course, November is approaching, and so I'm thinking about NaNoWriMo and planning for it. But it seems I have a bit of a dispute! I have two titles, and I can't pick which one to use. I've asked friends, and it's very split, and if any of you know me well I cannot make my own choices. So, I've made a poll. ^_^


No, I will not tell you what the not-English word means! It's based on what you get from it without knowing :p

First of all, Todesmaschine is a long word. And long words are fun titles! Plus, it's in German, which makes it doubly cool!

Does Todesmaschine mean the same as Death Machine? I think... I'd probally pick up Todesmaschine just to find out what it meant, if nothing else. :D

I'm sorry, love, but I see "Todesmaschine" and I think of toads.

Klar, Todesmaschine, weil Deutsch sehr schön ist ^^

Out of curiosity though, would it just be Todesmaschine, or Die Todesmachine? I guess it depends on what the context is, but to me it doesn't sound right without the article being there, though that could just be because my teacher drilled such things into my head under penelty of death >.>
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)
