Catterjune Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 tl;dr version - I'm writing a fanfic. Chapter titles will be cards names.What's the chapter about?There's lots of them. Probably about OH-LETS-SAY twenty seven chapters, and if a sequel or trilogy is planned, will need 27 for each of those as well. I haven't written them out yet. Everything is mostly still the in planning phase, but I'll probably try to push towards making the chapter titles appropriate to what actually happens in the chapter. So... show me what you got!

Dr. Cakey Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Go to the online or offline dueling software of your choice. Type words into the search fields. Write down any useful names you find. It's generally better for you to do the work yourself instead of trying to crowdsource it, seeing as you know the story and nobody else does. Like, maybe you're going for really simple, literal chapter titles and use names like Heavy Storm, Dark Coffin, Wasteland, Shift, Question, Last Turn, etc. And there are probably hundreds of cards that don't look like titles at all but might be perfect for something in your story. Things like "Fiend Comedian", "Big Burn", "Blasting the Ruins", "Dark Bribe", "The Tricky", "ZERO-MAX", whatever. And if you're open to anime and/or Japanese names, you've got even more choices.

Catterjune Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 What's the actual theme of the story? ... Probably a Duel Academy ;) It's generally better for you to do the work yourself instead of trying to crowdsource it, seeing as you know the story and nobody else does. Nah fam. Honest reply though, not too sure where to begin with tough. DN doesn't exist anymore. I don't trust Duel Book or whatever that shithole is called. PercyPro's search is awful since it searches card descriptions. FOR EXAMPLE! Let's say I wanted to have a romantic subplot in one chapter. I type in "love" into the search engine. First response is Vorse Raider. =\ Just about the only ones I could use would be Happy Lover, Arcana Force VI - The Lovers, and Rose Lover. But there's better cards that could help elaborate on it! Solemn Wishes, Hidden Wish. And they're not all that intuitive. I could look up "Secret" and get better results. "The Secret of the Bandit", "Secret of the Gallant". But... even then I haven't played the game in forever so my mind on the card pool is limited. I suppose rather then just asking for Card Names, maybe sort of follow a theme? Card Names for "action-adventurey" chapters? Card Names for "funny" random slice-of-life chapters? Card Names for "romancey" chapters? Card Names for various other genres? IDK though.

Dr. Cakey Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I don't trust Duel Book or whatever that shithole is called.*long silence* god I probably shouldn't be trusting them with my password should i Anyway, here are the names of cards that would apply to the first five chapters of a YGO fic idea I recently abandoned: Two-Man Cell BattleMechanical ChaserCovering FireMind ControlMelodious IllusionTriangle Power These aren't obvious choices (except Mind Control). They're all specific to the events of that particular story. People can throw out tons of names, but they're probably not going to be much help even if you specify a genre. You might want to try naming chapters after a significant or emblematic card that appears in the chapter, instead. (For myself, I know "Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity" would be a much better name for chapter four than "Mind Control".) Acknowledging that using card names as chapter titles is a beautiful gimmick if you can pull it off but is ultimately just a gimmick and you can always just name your chapters normally is another option. But if you don't want to do that, here are some of the cards I considered using in the list I generated, before I found better replacements: Trial of the PrincessesUnited FrontUnited We StandSpeed DriftTurnaboutCross CounterReversal of FatePuppet Master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampionZero Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Heart of the Underdog comes to mind, as does Maiden in Love. Painful Decision, maybe? Or what about Wavering Eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dova Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Oath of CompanionshipBasically any Equip Spell card if you want an artifact and/or a cheesy name.Dimension ExplosionVoid SeerMalice DispersionUnity (lol)Beserker SoulBeserker Crush Your best strategy is use PercyPro's searcher to select a type of Spell/Trap card, then quickly scroll through names, and if you find one that sounds interesting, add it to a database for future use under a certain category.
