Lol plan aborted, why am I like this (why don't I listen to my own plans lol)
I was going to say that if you're inclined towards "Eucatastrophe," then it's really unlikely for me to want to bring up alternatives
Anyways, my most solid idea right now for the AU's name is Fate/Atemporal Eucatastrophe.
Extra as heck, as you can see. My style.
Fate/AE, or F/AE.
Wiley thinks we should call the title of the series "Bait" instead of "Fate," so then we can make it "B/AE," when in reality the title is literally bait
I honestly dunno why he thinks like this

Also sorry if the title is actually really bad; I came up with "Atemporal" at like 4 in the morning, and right now my decision-making skills are not that great (since I didn't sleep well), so I'm literally just going by 4 A.M. whims
I will say that I'm pretty sure usual me would like both parts, though I can't guarantee usual me would like the synthesis.
Personally I'm sorta impressed by 4 A.M. me lol

Okay to be honest, "Atemporal Eucatastrophe" sounds super cool.
This thing is that, just like you said, it really sounds extra. At least I think it sounds extra.
I wouldn't say it's really bad tbh xD.
Well I mean I can't criticize Wiley's choice when I'm the one who accidentally thought "Fate/Air Conditioning" while trying to come up with titles, but I can laugh xDDD
Offline
So you don't want it? Unclear xD
Tbh I'm much more inclined for the title to be Fate/Atemporale, because for some reason I like doing that to words. I've never been really sure on the Eucatastrophe part, and after coming up with "Atemporal" I became very fond of it for some reason.

I can't really say if I want it or not,,,because tbh it sounds really cool and I like cool stuff xD.
I think I'm thinking more like "keep it as a posisbility".
Lol the title you just suggested now sounds cooler. I think I get why you'd get fond of the word lol.
Well, I don't think you'd like it if just go and accept the title like that just cause it sounds cool, no? xD

Bruh, please think more in the meaning sense lol, the more you emphasize its coolness the more I feel like it's not a good choice at all xP

Okie so I've been thinking about the title thing so let me just say
I really like it xD.
To be honest I'm pretty sure that the way I'm interpreting it is different from yours, and that's what worries me a little (like, heck lol, I don't even know if it's the right way I should interpret the title), but what do you think?
I want to think that it's not wrong for me to have my own thoughts on this but idk xD what do you say?
I think too that there are several things I can (and will) change in my "planning" depending on how the plot goes and events unfold. Actually, most of my thinking rn is a lot of "if"s, so it would be that way anyways lol.
Offline
The funny thing about this is that you implied that you understood what I wanted you to say, but you still didn't say it xD
Glad you like it. However, my mind is still inclined to use a simpler word either in front or at the back of (likely in front of) "Atemporale" so that we can call it "Fate/_A" instead of "Fate/A." Technically it's not an issue because Apocrypha is never called Fate/A from what I can recall, like ever, but still it seems that I'd prefer a different abbreviation. I don't do well with short words, however, so we might have to just call it Fate/A or just Fate/Atemporale every time. I don't mind typing Atemporale idk, at least for now.
I think I said something similar before, if not something practically identical, but it doesn't bother me at all that you have different interpretations, and in fact I would attribute that to how readers usually have different views of events, worlds, titles, and characters, not to mention "authors." The greatest concern I've had, in fact, is that the title doesn't resonate with you in a way affiliated with meaning instead of coolness.

Also, I was going to ask whether in between the months or something that we haven't talked about the AU, do you have worldbuilding information or pertinent character information you would like to update me about? I've been a bit busy archiving and writing new things, so I haven't gotten around to transferring my Fate AU file, but there are certainly some things that I remember.

Uh, I don't think there's anything super relevant to mention rn. At least not that I remember. But I will let you know.
Maybe the "most important" thing so far has been a bit of changing things around for Masters, but I feel it's not large enough to merit being discussed out of roleplay.
I'm not sure if this is that important but I reduced Aereon's power level a bit because she doesn't have her family's Magic Crest.
Offline
Alright.
I don't know if I've talked about this with you before (my mind says "No"), but I wonder if Sunny has his family's Magic Crest?
I've been leaning towards he has it, mostly because I don't think he and Caster could do very well in comparison to others, especially if they're not tactical geniuses, without a Crest on the Master at least.
That being said, considering their background, having the Crest seems a lil traumatic, both with its presence and with how it was transferred to him. Which means...all the more reason to have him have it (:

I don't know if you've brought it up but I've had that thought cross my mind.
"A lil traumatic"
Mage backstories tend to be like that so I guess it's fine lol. I think it would make sense if he has the Crest, though, since isn't that like what identifies him as head of the family?
I don't think Caster is a tactical genius lol rip.

Adding a simpler word? I'll see if I can come up with anything xD. For now, my mind is suggesting stupid words so I'll get back to you on this Ig lol.
For now we can just call it Atemporale if you want? Instead of just Fate AU?
Lol okay I'm not that superficial. Of course the title has to pass the requirement of coolness, but there's no way I'd ignore the meaning for the just coolness. Imagine choosing a title that doesn't sound cool, that doesn't sound epic. What would be the fun there? If it has a strong meaning, something that can represent what it really is, then it's probably going to be cool too.

"Stupid words" is two words, though, not one

Update!
Seems like my grandma's fine now :D
Apparently there was a small mishap during the surgery yesterday so it took like 12 hours instead of the planned 4, but it seems to have been fixed and now she's recovering.
Hopefully, if nothing else goes wrong, she should be home by Monday or so.

Ok so today I've been thinking about title suggestions like you asked.
Of the ones I've thought, the one I like the most is"Fate/Dulcetto Atemporale".
I don't know what you think of the word "dulcetto" (it's a slight distortion of the original word), idk, I like it but I don't know lol.
Another option, still concerning this suggestion, would be to rearrange the title and make it into "Fate/Atemporal Dulcetto" (which I also like)
According to Google searches, "Dolcetto" is a kind of wine apparently and that sounds a lot like the word but I actually distorted the word "dulcet" (bruh let's not talk about parts of speech here please I don't want to make this complicated xD). I hope that's a simple enough suggestion :') for some reason the word kept popping up in my mind while considering ideas so I kinda tried to use it.
It doesn't exactly make sense Ig but I'm kinda going for a looser interpretation of the whole title? Idk I do think I'm making this too complicated xD
Now I send this post in, and I get ready to cringe at my suggestion later lol.

You want me to give feedback now, or later?

I mean honestly please end my dread right away lol tell me if you think it's okay or if you hate it xD
Offline
Okay, well, I'm not really on either side for this.
I will say (sorry) that "dulcetto" for me sounds weird in terms of putting it with "Atemporale." It sounds better with "Atemporal," but we both know I'm too attached to "Atemporale" so we don't talk about it. Anyways, I'm still pondering over the meaning, but it's not bad imo. I'm just slightly struggling with this, but technically rn I'm much more preoccupied with the sound for some reason. Idk, for me dulcetto sounds weird and I'm sorry, I might change my mind later on but we both know I'll probably take years to do that
So here are my ways of thinking 'bout it. One, I'd like to keep Atemporale as it is. Please xD.
Two, alternatives. Imo "Dulcet" actually is more simple and better-sounding than "Dulcetto." Again, I can't justify this way of thinking, I'm sorry.
But actually, part two point five, I can think of two words(?) that are more simple/shorter and also with about the same meaning as "Dulcetto." One is dulce, the other is dolce. I will admit, I like dolce a bit better, both due to its meaning that I probably don't understand anyways and also because it was what I thought of immediately, and I'm narcissistic :'P. But to put it into perspective, the alternatives here would be: Fate/Dulce Atemporale or Fate/Dolce Atemporale.
Ehhhh idk lol. Sorry about the long wait for this post; I'm still kinda eating dinner.
-Galaxian-
Offline
Lol enjoy your dinner xD bon appétit!
Well, the suggestion includes all the derivatives(?) too xD.
Thank you for the feedback lol. Tbh I'm kinda relieved that it was pretty much what I expected hehe.
I'll say, I really like "Fate/Dolce Atemporale" but I didn't put it there because I didn't know what you'd say about two words that both end with "e". But, now that you've suggested it, idk, let's see what you think, but I'd be glad to go with that option.
Offline
"Fate" ends with "e" too. The true title of this AU is actually "EEE," which sums up the AU way better than it should tbh
You want a few more days to think of more options?
-Galaxian-
Offline
E/EE xD
Well, I think that's what should have happened instead of me just going ahead and telling you my favorite option of the ones I thought in a single day, but tbh knowing myself I would probably just go back around to what I suggested today.
I will let you know if there's something else I think of. However, I'm pretty sure my mind has already decided this is a good enough title. Like, bruh, I need to learn to think more about options and stuff like that.
Besides why wouldn't we want to name the AU this, if EEE is just the perfect title for it.
