    Hi all!

    I was just thinking about ideas and titles for future stories. Not necessarily for me but for anyone who wants to pick up the challenge. Maybe just for a 1-post short story perhaps.

    My idea is of a love affair that starts between two Dunmer in the grey quarter in Windhelm. It becomes more and more exotic as they explore the vast array of sensual pleasures available to them in the Windhelm underground. They open a swingers club and eventually it turns to a bit of D&B and the authorities get wind of it and try and close it down.

    I've titled it: "Fifty Shades of Grayskins".

    Does anybody else have any ideas?

    Reminds me of my favourite pub quiz team name: "Hairy Pothead and the Stoned Philosophers"

    I'm sorry, I just can't help myself. I've finally found a forum on which to inflict my dad humor at a global level.

    Great name for a pub-quiz name - I've known a few hairy potheads in my time. 

    I remember playing against a team named "Team Satan". There was a question in the pub quiz about the bible, and Team Satan was the only one in the pub who could answer it.

    Ahh, pub quizzes...

    In response to Team Satan... Know your enemy. 

    Fifty shades of greyskins, LOL

    You have this problem with me actually sipping my coffee, don't you?

    'Fire and Ice' with them being Dunmers in Windhelm. 
    'A Stormy Affair' with reference to the Stormcloaks. 
    'We Found Love in a Hateful Place' 
    'Grey Marriage' - a tale of oppression inspired by real-life occurrences.
    'Raciness and Racism'
    'Sex and the City of Kings'

    Nice title. I like the twist in it. I'll be adding a chapter '10 Shades of Blood' . Nothing to do with sex though. It's about the different races where you have to collect blood from each one.

    I give every chapter a title. As of this moment I''ve yet to struggle with any. Such titles include,

    Chapter 7       A Stranger in town

    Chapter 90     The summoning

    Chapter 106   Sticky fingers       

    Chapter 125  An apple a day

    Chapter 141  Peaches and Peppercorn          (Don't ask and I won't lie)

    Chapter 190  A betrayal of trust

    Chapter 207  Tricks of the trade

    Chapter 227   The lonely mountain

    Chapter 278   The lovers dance

    Each chapters titles based on an event witin the chapter.
