I Need Your Help!

For reasons I do not wish to enumerate, I have to come up quickly with a chapbook of my fantasy stories to promote my work at CapClave this October. Moving too quickly to put a lot of thought in it, I'm asking you the reader for your assistance.

What do you think is the coolest title below for a collection of fantasy stories?

If you have a better one, please feel free to include a title in the comments.

Please do not check more than two titles.

Poll #1450290 Anthology Title

Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All. Participants: 25

What should I title my throwaway chapbook anthology?

A lot of these sound pretty generic. Opal Wine, though, that sounds really distinct and sparks intrigue. That's got my vote.

On the other hand—and this is just someone else's opinion—"Opal Wine" doesn't...mean anything to me. It's just two pleasant words strung together, like "Ribbon Azalea" or "Waterfall Sorbet" or "Vacation Puppy." Maybe I'm just missing the subtleties, though. :)

Opal Wine is good, but...

Maybe it is so good that you don't want to waste it on a "throwaway". If you don't mind "wasting" it on what you consider a throwaway, then I'd vote Opal Wine too. (By the way, the poll is not allowing me to vote; it just shows the results of those who have already voted)

I voted for Forgotten Visions, but Opal Wine is also great.

I like the concept of something that is ancient and has been forgotten but has suddenly, and quite unexpectedly come into the light of day. I went for the two forgotten titles. :)
