《What's This Fiction ? A Very Incomplete Project.》Homestuck-stuck

So, I felt like talking about of Homestuck today.
Like for the Stanley Parable, I’ll first tell about of how I was introduced to it :
///////////////
It happened long ago. Years ago.
On a night or day of gaming (who even knows anymore ?), on one of my most played game ever : Transformice.
I might talk about of that game… Later.
So, I had friends on that game. As is normal, I think. Especially for a game you play quite often.
And so, I was talking to one of those friends. We might have been talking about of our interests, maybe of reading, or anything else.
Anyways, Homestuck came up in the conversation.
I was totally ignorant of the quite popular within certain spheres of the internet webcomic that is Homestuck.
And so, faithful reader I am, I begin my read of Homestuck.
///////////////
Homestuck is a clusterfuck of weird storytelling, features, characters, plot and overall just a weird story.
An absurd thing, that webcomic.
A comic I quite liked to read. Absurdity ? That goes right down my humour (and enjoyment) lane.
Absurdity is a central pillar of storytelling, even if that might seem counter-intuitive.
It helps to construct a story and
///////////////
So, I’ve been thinking about of a title.
My first ideas were titles where the acronym would just be a repeat of one letter, such that their acronym would get me something absurd like this title : “Writer Writing Writing Writer” (or any permutation of this title really), which would get you some nice WWWW, WWW, W4, W3… Or some such.
But that isn’t very fun, to be honest.
Now, my latest ideas are actually “What’s This Fiction ?” a.k.a “WTF ?” or “Very Incomplete Project” a.k.a “VIP”. The titles are self-explanatory here, I think. And, at least as of now, true enough.

Finding other ways to spell acronyms is a funny way to entertain yourself, honestly. Although most of the titles which got me already existing acronyms are really incidental finds.
Fusing titles to try and form titles which have totally different apparent meanings between their acronym and complete title is also fun. Although, a harder task.
Let me try… “What’s This Fiction (Very Incomplete Project) ?”
That’d give us the kinda weird acronym “WTF (VIP) ?”.
The title is weird anyways, the natural way to write it would actually be “What’s This Fiction ? (Very Incomplete Project)”. But then the acronym would be “WTF ? (VIP)”.
I don’t know about of you, but that makes even less sense. I think.
Anyways ! This all is overthinking, I’ll just pick a nice/fun title if I ever publish this and then I won’t have to worry about of it, instead of being indecisive about of it (also forgetting titles I thought about of. And ideas too. Sigh… ideas.)
