Burning


BUT!
EC management has decreed the title puts them in mind of venereal disease.

So, I'm taking suggestions for a new title. I'm tapped. I'll run a poll, Winner gets a free copy.
I'd like it to reflect Hanukkah in some way.

Synopsis:
Adina barJonas gets a lovely Hanukkah present from Papa, a VirtualClone box, which lets her have "fully integrated sensory experiences." She uses it to visit with Janis Joplin and argue law with Portia. But mostly, she uses it to fill the gaps of her non-existent love-life. Whether a rough quickie with a hot bouncer, or wing-sex with a junior clerk's virtual image, she thoroughly enjoys her present.

All I have is
Eight Hot Winter Nights

"Eight Days of Heat"
"Eight Days in the Box" -- usually a punishment. :)

Bastards. I really like the title of "Burning for 8 Days". . .have they no understanding of the holiday.

It's not like it's burning and itching for 8 days. . .

I am pretty sure "The Gift that Keeps on Giving" Would be copy right infringement. As would be "8 Crazy Nights"

How about "Better than Gelt and Dreidels"

I give up. I do not understand what EC is smoking these days. I just give up.

I dunno. They passed on the western with orders to resub in 6 mo.

I think Lord Edward will fly. But the Robin Hood novel will be a tougher sell. There's only 5 sex scenes.

I'm fond of Dreidle Games myself - but that's because I tend to use that as a seasonal metaphor in the same genre...

(Yeah, and I'm clergy... *snerk*)

Here's my suggestions...

Just to add fuel to the fire... (sorry couldn't help it)

Eight Days Ablaze

The Eightfold Taper Effect

Of Oil and Flame or
Eight days of Oil and Flame
(or substitute fire for flame)

Eightfold Splendor's Fire

How Hot the Tapers Blaze

The Kindling Flames Consumed

Eight Wicks of Fire

(oh dear I'm in a pun type mood all the sudden... Goodness gracious eight wicks of fire...)

Eight Sacred Fires Ablaze

Eight Nights and Passion's Blaze

Lighting the Wicks from Both Ends

Eight Fires in Eight Nights

Eight Nights Ablaze

Okay, I'm outta crazy suggestions for now. Maybe something here will at least help inspire the new title. I'll go back to the thinking board. (p.s. I would have never thought that of the original title, until now)

actually, you can't copyright titles, so it isn't. Infringement, I mean. Most people try not to use the same ones, though.

Why does the cover have your name as Angelina? A Hot Miracle Happened Here is amusing.

for the idiomatic:

Burning the Midnight Oil

for the seasonal:

Hanukkah Heat
Hanukkah Nights

for the semi-explicit (and just for fun):

Clones...for Her Pleasure

um, I ran out of ideas. will post more later, if I think of anything. Good luck with the craziness of management!

I was wondering about that very thing but didn't want to ask.

Hot for Hanukkah
Simmer Semitic
Ocho Dias del FUEGO

Because the artist read it wrong

There are two main ways to misspell my name.
Those who read it will usually misspell it Angelina
Those who hear it and don't see it will usually misspell it Angela.
