I need to come up with a name for my short fiction collection (which has now been divided into two volumes). I’ve got a few ideas, but nothing that I’m really in love with. Or more importantly, that Toni and the marketing staff are in love with. The problem with naming short fiction collections is you need something that works for a whole bunch of stories from different genres, from different worlds, and different themes. And most importantly it has to sound cool.
So you guys are smart, and you are also the target audience, so if you’ve got suggestions please post them in the comments here. If Toni picks one of them as the title we will say that we got it from you on the Thank You page, and then I’ll send you some autographed copies. This is a really informal contest, so the rules are we’ll pick what we like, and I reserve the right to say no thanks, those all suck, and then use something else (but hopefully that won’t be the case because you guys are friggin’ brilliant).
Here is the table of contents for the first one:
Tanya: Princess of the Elves
Dead Waits Dreaming
Sweothi City
The Bridge
Detroit Christmas
Murder on the Orient Elite
Father’s Day
Destiny of a Bullet
Bubba Shackleford’s Professional Monster Killers
The Diary of Hannah Stone
The Losing Side
The Great Sea Beast
Force Multiplier
The Adventures of Tom Stranger, Interdimensional Insurance Agent
So go ahead and post your suggestions in the comments here. I’m sure other certain websites will also have helpful suggestions befitting me, like Not A Real Writer: Hatemonger Jerkface Bundles Some Trash. Which come to think of it, is actually kind of a cool title. 😀
Correia Unleashed: the Short Fiction of Larry Correia
Correianomicron
The Yard Moose Chronicles
The mountain that writes needs fricking moose with lasers short story collection.
Correia: Volume One of The Official, Sanctioned, Authorized Decology of Totally Awesome Short Fiction of All Time, Space and Beyond
I’m going with Larry’s Berries.
I know it’s a controversial pick, but I feel like it’ll really fit in if you do a podcast advertising round.
Or maybe:
Leftover Parts: I Was Never Very Good With Directions
“Larry’s Buries” sounds more ominous.
If they pick that one, I’m claiming half credit. Haha.
I figure it’s in with a good 80% chance.
Controlled Bursts Magazines 1&2

Volume I

In Case of Emergency: Lord Larry Correia
Cornucopia Correia
Overkill & Underpaid: Lord Larry Correia
Very crude of me, I admit, but how about simply ‘Huntington’? Then it’d be referred to as Correia’s Huntington.
Don’t get the beefalo started on chemistry jokes.
Moo.
This one isn’t a pun, and not really a Spoonerism. Not sure what you might call it, and the subject/treatment is more medical than chemical.
Nooooooooo……
Monsters, Magic, and Mayham
That might work better for Jim Butcher’s next collection of short stories.
No Snowflakes on This Mountain
My suggesion is:
“The Interdimensional Lord of Hate presents: Fun with Freaks”
Hate mail : a collection of shorts.
International Lord of Hate Short (story?) Collection.
“Mostly Un-Classified”
Loose Rounds: Collected Short Fiction of Larry Correia
Magic Bullets: The Collected Short Fiction of Larry Correia
A Target Rich Environment: Short Stories by Larry Correia
“Monster Survivor Stories”, “Dead Men do Tell Tales”, “So you saw a monster, now what?”
“Dead men do tell tales” is already a book on forensic anthropology, written back last century.
Unless it’s a particularly well-known book (I haven’t heard of it, for whatever that’s worth), that shouldn’t really be an issue.
DDTT is a very well known book. You should give it a look. It could be retitled, “Your only hope in getting away with murder is if nobody cares enough to take a close look.”

“Evil Looms (vol 1). Cowboy Up (vol 2). To be followed by Kill it (vol 3) and Get Paid (Vol 4), of course.”
I think this may be my favorite of the series suggestions. 🙂
Same, it was my first thought but I wasn’t quick enough.
Oh My God and little pink bunny slippers. This set of names alone makes me want to throw money at Larry. Seriously, I’d buy it even if it was half stuffed with filler.
If these books were for sale right now in dead tree form I would be currently throwing money at Larry.
Those suggestions! I likey!

Note to Larry C or your web team, when I refreshed my browser window, I appeared to be logged in as correia45. That can’t be good.
It’s a WordPress thing that Jack hasn’t been able to chase down completely. Fortunately, it just LOOKS like you are logged in as the ILoH; you can’t actually DO anything.

Wendell Recommends: Tales from Yard Moose Mountain, Vol. 1
Flexible stories for flexible minds: the histories of MHI
Larger than life: Correia’s Shorts
“Deep Cuts: The Short Fiction of Larry Correia”
Personally, I favor Quick Shots: A Mixed Magazine of Fantasy Shorts
You could also borrow one of the titles that Jim Butcher didn’t use: Semi-Auto Magic
Tales from Yard Moose Mountain
The Glory of Firearms,
or: Armed in the Darkness
Something that fits with fear, horror, and lots of things that go BOOM.
I think I’d prefer “Fear, Horror, and Lots of Things that go Boom” as the title. 🙂
I’ll think about this some more, but for now I didn’t see this one listed yet:
Larry Correia: No Accounting for Taste

Larry’s Gunlocker, Hard to find Tales from Larry Correia
My original suggestion still stands: Blood-Bath and Beyond
But some of these other suggestions are pretty good too.
Otherwords: Short Stories by Larry Correia
Okay, here’s my three suggestions: Backseat Roadmap, Signpost Adventures, and Tales from the Off-ramp.
Come to think of it , “Fear, Horror, and Things That Go BOOM” sounds like a good title.
Magic, Monsters, and Mayhem
Larry Correia: Fully Loaded
Larry Correia: Triggered
Use My Illusions Vols. I and II
Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.
What Doesn’t Kill Me Better Run: Examples
Triggered: the collection.
(repeated from Facebook) “Cold Steel & Hot Brass”
Stranger Danger: a Larry Correia Collection.
“Stuff Too Short to Publish Separately”
“Trigger Warnings”
Neil Gaiman already did that one 🙁
Tales of Manatees, Monsters and Men.
North and South Correia
Lots of really good suggestions.
You need to write a book for each one.
Paper Cuts: Incisive Short Fiction from the Mind of Larry Correia (Volumes 1 & 2)
For Toni’s benefit…
There and Flak Again: Tales from the Correian Militarized Zone
This one is breathtaking. Tolkien reference awesome at the same time.

A Bayonet On A Crew Served Weapon
(Back cover top line: “Because Awesome. And Shut Up.”)
Larry’s story spackle, filling the narrative cracks with lazy short stories.
Your universes have a variety of genres and story types. The only unifying factor (excepting Son of the Black Sword) is the prevalence and even reverence of a good firearm.
So, naturally, I recommend you include guns in the title.
For example:
21 Guns (works better if there are exactly 21 short stories in the collection).
The Firing Range
High-caliber stories
Scorch Marks
A Hello to Arms
Save the Manatees: a Collection of Eco-conscious Stories from Responsible Writers
If I think of any more, I’ll let you know.

Manatee in a Strange Land!
Here are a few from off the top of my head:
-College Tuition & New Home (could be separated and each be the name of a volume as well)
-Need More Guns and Minis
-Nebulas Are Just Gas and Dust
-Wrong Fun and Trigger Warnings
-Musings From Yard Moose Mountain
-Thank You For The *
-Magic and Explosions

-Stories I Wrote While Waiting for the Next Game

Squib Loads
“If it breathes, we can kill it.” Tales of courage, fortitude, and monsters. And guns. Don’t forget the guns.

Actually, I really like Not A Real Writer: Hatemonger Jerkface Bundles Some Trash.
You could always threaten to call it Brief Cases to urge Jim Butcher and his publisher to get that second Dresden anthology out quicker. (Sort of like the people who name their kid the name that their sister had always planned to name her kid.)
… or in similar vein, Semi-Automagic (to prove that Baen is a far cooler publisher than Roc, who changed Jim B’s first book title from that to Storm Front).
Did they change it or did he change it? I thought it was because they decided pun titles weren’t the theme to go with.
It is a good title, though. Hasn’t someone used it by now?

I thought of the Shakespeare one first, but a quick search revealed it has been used in TV and music, so I’m not sure of copyright issues. I like the second due to the homage paid to another famous short story.
I don’t think you can copyright titles
Nope. That’s why you see titles used repeatedly.
Fred Schwed wanted to name his masterpiece on the stock market THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, on the grounds it had proven sales appeal.
Instead, the publisher went with WHERE ARE THE CUSTOMER’S YACHTS?

Skirmishes and Sorties by Larry Correia
-or-
Monster Hunter: Skirmishes and sorties
“Why Did We Let Her Invent Valley Speak? And other short stories”
Not sure how likely this is to be read at around 350 replies already but I’ll take a stab at this:
‘Strange Tales for Insane Times’
The sequel(s) could easily be written in a similar vein:
‘More Strange Tales for Insane Times’ or ‘Stranger Tales for Insane Times’ (I’d save that one for a Tom Stranger compilation book though).
Best of all it lends itself to Jeff Conundrum using it as an insult to Tom Stranger in a Deadpool-esque level fourth wall break!
Chrestomathy
Monster Hunter’s & Other Tales
Either Adaptive Force Package or Tailored Force Package. It was jargon then and good jargon is hard to beat.

Interesting suggestions so far, I would personally throw my money at Larry regardless of what the title is, but I imagine Toni and her marketing minions are probably looking for a Title that will grab those uninitiated in Correia Lore. Most of the suggestions are “inside jokes” , how about we try coming up with titles that might interest those poor, forlorn lost souls out there and make them into true acolytes of the ILOH
