How a Crime name can be the writer's first piece of fiction, said in one word
Before you commit to a Crime name, run it past these five questions the scribes keep at the long tables, and roll again if the answers do not line up with the tone, the era, and the role you are writing:
- How long can the Crime name be before it stops feeling punchy?
- Does the Crime name need to be memorable on a first reading?
- Will the Crime name travel well into sequels, spin-offs, or DLC?
- Does the name have to fit on a character sheet, a chapter title, or both?
- Should the Crime name feel invented, historical, or borrowed?
