RJ-11 title - Mark S. - 08-31-2006
fpw Wrote:[SIZE="3"]Well, I've finally come up with a title: Bloodline. But I was wondering if plural might be better since so many of the novels use a plural noun for the title.
Bloodline
Bloodlines
Opinions?[/SIZE].
Go with whatever best fits the story.
Honestly, until you pointed it out, I hadn't even noticed that many of the other novels had plural nouns for the title.

If it doesn't make a difference with regard to the story, I think I'd have to go plural. It just fits to me:
Bloodlines
Nice.
If you use the plural, do we all get a credit for coming up with the "s"?

I like the plural as I'm guessing that more than one character will be unknowingly related to others.
The lastest book................is HOW LONG away from our hands??!!

I'll put in a vote for Bloodlines

I like Bloodline because it makes me think literally of a line drawn in blood, whereas Bloodlines only makes me think of heritage.

Bloodline is implied plural--a series of lines making up a singular whole. So, you have it both ways without the s. And I agree it does sound more sinister.

That's funny you should say that, Xamber. I was going to do post with a little
to suggest that the book be called "Lines of Blood" or "Line of Blood" to avoid the whole Sidney Sheldon title duplication issue. My vote is for Bloodline as well. That title seems more ominous.
