Back to the Future

hmpfis not titled Back to the Future anymore, I think. Or rather, I've realised that Back to the Future is probably a working title. But what will the real title be? Maggie doesn't live here anymore? Probably not. The MAD Doctrine? I kinda like that one, but it's a pretty bad spoiler, at least in terms of alerting people of one part of the direction the story is taking after a certain point. I don't really want to foreshadow that. (Sorry, everybody reading my LJ: I'm afraid you are already thoroughly spoiled.)
Odd, how some fics change titles and others don't. Normal used to be Coming Home. Moving On became Möglichkeitssinn became Cut Along the Dotted Line, progressing from sickeningly trite through ridiculously obscure to its only proper title. And some fics are born from their title (68 Wives, for a very obvious example).
I reread the entire fic today. I fixed some of the smaller problems of the earlier parts, and I'm now about one sentence and a couple of vague ideas into the last (or next-to-last) part. Well; aside from the fact that I seem to be stuck at the top of page nine, I'm still really thrilled with the story. Really thrilled. As in, this may turn out to be my best fic yet.
If I don't frell up the last part, that is.
