What makes for a good story title? Or one that you like?
Do you like poetic titles? Long titles? Short ones? Titles that describe what's inside the story? Do you like it better if it's something you can say out loud easily, or does that not matter? Does what constitutes a 'good' title vary by genre (many genres have very specific naming conventions)?
I haven't been able to deduce a pattern to titles I've liked or considered good yet. I've liked long, poetic titles and I've liked pithy one word titles.
