I want to write a series of short stories that are within 2000 words. Each and every story is centered around two words that all start with the same letter. Unfortunately, I can't decide on which 2 words to use, as there are too many words! :smt102

So can you guys help me by thinking which words to use? Actually, is this even a good idea at all?

Please? I really need your help!:cry:

Example:

A: Acorns, Anger
B: Boys, Beaches
C: Coffee, Crying
D: Depression, Despair <--- this could be a pretty angsty story :D

And so on and on until--

W: Worries, Wind
X: Xenon, Xboxs
Y: Yaks, Yarns
Z: Zealousness, Zither

Please help! :smt022

Hey Ice (or do you want to be called Princess?),

First:
I LIKE YOUR IDEA!

Second a few questions:

1. Do you want to use your examples?

2. What genre do your short stories have?

3. Do the title words have to be connected to each other in some way?

4. Do you have any finished short stories that need names?

Perhaps it will help if you answer these questions for yourself. Those are the ones that pop to my mind when I read your request. If not then tell me the answers and I'll try to help again.

@Aina:

Thanks for helping me! :D You have no idea how grateful I am... :)

1. Do you want to use your examples?


I want to use C, W and X, but not the others~

2. What genre do your short stories have?


I was thinking of different genres, so when I post, I shall post in 'other fiction'.

3. Do the title words have to be connected to each other in some way?


Yes. ^ ^

4. Do you have any finished short stories that need names?


No, I haven't started yet, because I want to see if other people liked this idea~

Thank you for everything!

Rosemarie :D

I left spaces for the ones you said you wanted to keep out of your examples. Some of mine are kind of anti-related like 'friend and foe', hope that's okay and hope I helped! :D Good luck!
