Titular publishes fiction named after titles from novels, films, and television shows. We prefer common to esoteric. The more popular the appropriation, the better. Each story reconstructs concepts instilled by these former titles by using and recycling existing ideas. An example of stories may be: The Great Gatsby, Golden Girls, Porky’s Revenge, The Sound and the Fury, Wheel of Fortune, Good Will Hunting, Seinfeld, Pride and Prejudice, Ulysses, etc. This is a branching-out point for writers, not a constraint. The stories do not need to relate to the original entity from which the title came, but should be inextricably tied to the title itself on a semantic level. Our goal is to build a literary collective of New Beginnings. As we move along, ideally, we will construct a narrative based on archives (i.e. The collected Works of Kafka or, The Films of Tom Hanks). Writers will play and feed off one another. This is not an invitation for pure satires, pop-for-pop-sake, or meanderings about the Original. While new alternate meanings may—and should be—constructed by these appropriations, we ultimately want fiction that is interesting on its own merit. We are open to anything from humorous to ‘literary’; from traditional form/narrative to experimental—we simply want YOU, dear reader and writer, to be enthralled.
