Thanks to a brilliant joint production of xparrot (the original version) and slhuang (for a refinement that I liked better than anything I'd come up with) I think we've got our title:



Rogue Myths is still a contender, but I think this one scans better.

:D?

Carry on my wayward Kay, there'll be peace when you're-- oh who am I kidding :D

I like the title.

Supernatural was the first thing I thought of too. Not sure if that's a downside. Depends on how widely known Wayward Sisters is in the audience you're aiming for.

[xparrot]

I like it, especially for the two-syllable rhythm, and FWIW I didn't immediately jump to SPN...but yeah, that is one concern? But it might be a feature rather than a bug, so...

[lilacsigil]

I like it!

[kore]

That is gorgeous. I did also think of Wayward Sisters, but that might not be a bad thing. I might prefer Rogue Myths, but I honestly think it's more of a tossup now, both are good.

If you want the SPN associations, then this is great!

(Have you tried putting the series info at the bottom, though? It looks a bit awkward like this.)

[lunabee34]

Nice!

[sartorias]

What a gorgeous cover!

[rachelmanija]

I had to look up what the word Wayward had to do with SPN, and found that it's a proposed spin-off that didn't happen. I think anyone not involved in or close to SPN fandom is likely to also not have registered that. If it was actually airing, that would be different.

[frith_in_thorns]

I try VERY HARD to have nothing to do with SPN but the "carry on my wayward son" is such an osmotic thing I can't avoid it XD but y'know, it definitely makes the monster-hunting an immediate association!

I find it easier to say than Rogue Myths too! And the swirly font looks good with it.

[naye]

Love it!

[cornerofmadness]

I like it a lot

[tomakeanoffer]

Ooooh, I like this a lot. Wayward Myths feels good in the mouth and is all around nice, in my opinion.

I quite like this, and while I did think of the song, it wasn't the first association I had, and I didn't think of SPN, but I'm old enough to have heard the song many times in many contexts before the show ever used it. My first association was actually a rupture of mythic creatures, powers, and narratives into "mundane reality," which is the foundation of all non-secondary world urban fantasy. It's one of those titles that seems so obvious to be applied to an urban fantasy, yet I don't recall anyone ever having done so, and it immediately attracts me for both those reasons. I like the look of Rogue Myths slightly better for idiosyncratic reasons, and I do wish there was a better tie-in to the sword, but that's me, and there is a tie-in to the idea of a gatekeeper "sorting" the myths out, which I like, if it applies. I agree with those suggesting putting the series title and volume number below the book title.

I like it.
