Not for titles this time, but it does have to do with the story.
I think I'm nearly done with the last leg of it. (Bloody finally, it feels like.) More mentions of Pestilence, but he still doesn't actually talk. Come to think of it, nobody talks in this one. Cool.
Anyway, I can't decide what order to put the ficlets that comprise the thing in. I have War in the middle right now, which works because she's in present tense and the other two aren't, but since the end of Famine's section isn't incredibly cheerful, I might have to move her to the end. Or I could move Pollution to the end. I don't know.
Thoughts, anyone?
So far as the title is concerned, I'll likely stick with the one idea I've had and possibly give the ficlets their own titles. Like I said, it's sort of three ficlets served in one package.
Could still be talked into footnotes at the moment. I don't think they're very likely, but I could still be talked into them.

Well, footnotes aren't like -- lemmings, or whatever it is that comes in bunches. Personally, I like just one elegant footnote, and it doesn't even have to be spectacularly funny, but people always seem to think footnotes should come in showers. Which they don't. They really, really don't.

Re: story. Hmm. You could move Pollution to the end, maybe? Because if War is in present tense, it does fit that her ficlet is in the middle. It depends on whether you want the story to end on a happy note, I guess. I'd advise you to just go with the flow, only advice like that is kind of. Sucky.

heh.

I can't believe the speed and ease with which you write. Me myself, I'm almost superstitious about talking about what I write when I write it. I don't want to jinx it.

(Of course, that doesn't stop me from talking about it anyway.)

*sigh*

I envy you so, so much. Because! Good titles and writing both come to you, so easily and so fast! Duuude. You are blessed by the gods.

OTOH, I have signed!Coraline, so it all balances out. :)
