So this is...
So this is a fun, bookish game Raven posted back in the days of yore (otherwise known as last year), which was the first thread I posted on. Basically, you take a book title, and rewrite it in the most complex way possible, without using any words in the original title. (Except for articles, conjunctions, pronouns, etc -- small words, like the, she, you, as. Oh, and proper nouns.) Person A posts a book title, person B complicates it and posts the next title, and so on and so forth, et cetera, et cetera.
ex:
The Near Witch = A Specific Person Who Works Magic and is Associated with a Place, Person, or Concept Named for a Synonym of Geographical Closeness
here's Raven's original thread -- http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/492235
The first title is The King of Elfland's Daughter. Have at it, lizards, if you've a mind to.
