"I vote for My Own Worst Enemy. There is something to be said about a vague title. It doesn't give away too much of the plot, and it is able to hook the attention of potential readers better than other, more specific titles. While the other…"

Robin Lemke replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"I think Fangirl is the strongest, also! My runner up is Love in the Time of Supervillains, because it both has the hint of romance gone bad and some of the old nod to comic books.
I'd love something to do with Geek Girls, but both of the…"
Ellen Oh replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"I'm kind of surprised at this. I LOVE Fangirl! I think it is one of the best titles I've ever heard of. these titles are nowhere near as cool as Fangirl. Why would you change it? Seriously? Why?
to be honest, I would not buy a book with…"
Dani Duck replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"I think Fangirl is the strongest title you have. Honestly, I feel like the rest of the titles are okay, but they are forgettable. For this book it would be better to have something more concise. These all seem more like subtitles and the top option…"
Laurie Boyle Crompton replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"Thanks for all the FANGIRL love!! <3
Maybe we can revert to the original manuscript title FANGIRL AND HER SUBATOMIC SWEATMOBILE OF DOOM ;)
Whatever the title - I can't wait to share this book with readers! Hope you love it as much as I…"
jamie legrand replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"I love Fangirl, but if you HAD to choose a new title I would go with the invisible truth of being me - i think it would resonate with girls of any HS popularity status....."
Rachel Grinti replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"Actually I'm deleting my first post from earlier today because now that I'm fully awake I would not want any chance of my earlier terrible ideas being inflicted on Laurie's book! ;)

Rachel Grinti replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"Had to comment again because of Flirting is a Superpower. It stood out to me because it was one of two that seemed to directly reference Blaze's interests, but it doesn't really seem to fit the feel of the book at all... it just felt less…"
Jennifer Estes replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"Keep FANGIRL! (Though I also like Mike's addition....)"
SYoon replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"FANGIRL is an awesome title! I wish it was on the list of choices. But if it absolutely needs to be changed,... I like MJ's suggestion of FANGIRL VS. SUPERVILLAINS."
Janel Rodriguez replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"FANGIRL has the most "pow!" And isn't that appropriately superheroish? I think it's the best title. I don't know why anyone would want to change it. I can't even choose amongst the other…"
Patty Blount replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"Like Jeanne's idea - FANGIRL VS. MARK THE SHARK?
FANGIRL vs. THE SUPER-SLIMEBALL?
Also, Blaze tints her hair pink in the story so that's the strip of color you see :) "
Kell Andrews replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"I love FANGIRL! Keep FANGIRL!
First choice of others is LOVE IN THE TIME OF SUPERVILLAINS or Helene's SET TO STUN"
Christina Franke replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"Yes. That. I totally agree with you!
"
Jeanne replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"Hmm. FANGIRL has an immediate zing to it that the options above do not, IMO. If you must change it, I like all three of the suggestions by Helene. (Or perhaps you should just go with Super Slut. Haha.)
Although the excerpt says…"
Michelle Julian replied to Derry Wilkens's discussion Help us pick the NEW title for Fangirl!!"If the title must be changed, what about keeping the original title and adding a little extra?
FANGIRL and the SUPERVILLAINS
or
FANGIRL VS. SUPERVILLAINS"
