I'm not ready to send it off to any companies yet, but while I was working on (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.org.us.texlug, lugnet.publish.html)

Original title is the best. It says it all. Chronicles of Ikros is a story about more than just one guy (garalt). It's about what happens to an entire country. So it's perfectly named. Don't change it. e. (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.castle)

I think, personally, that the Chronicles of Ikros is a perfictly fine name. You left out C.S. Lewises Chronicles of Narnia, another succsesful fantasy line. Besides, it stands out in that it is different then the others. so thers just my 2 cents ( (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Anthony, Here is my two bits worth. It seems to me that the title depends on the age of the audience you are going after. Based on the length of your book I think that the young adult market (13-17 or so) would be best. If that is the case then (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.castle)

Anthony- I think an awesome name for it would be Dragonwar or The Dragonwar. This might be the title of a Dragonlance book but I don't think it is. By the way, not to sound completely naive, but what does the gastiel have to do with anything except (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.castle)

The name you choose will hardly be relevant if you actually get a contract, as the publisher is likely to force a crappy name on you anyway. That said, a spiffy name might help you *get* that contract. I don't know. I really doubt that "Chronicles (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.castle)
