Should I go for something "saucy": auntie pixelante's goal for Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars: to give gamers 'a big, fat orgasm'
Or should I go for "simple": Ten questions with auntie pixelante
It probably won't surprise anyone to hear that I prefer the saucy option, but I have to admit that it also gives me pause. Is it too sensational? Does it scream, a little too loudly, "click on me! PLEASE!!"
Regarding that latter comment, the fact is that I do want people to click on it. Not because I'm desperate for hits, pageviews, etc., but because I think Anthropy is a brilliant woman and I want as many people as possible to read what she has to say about her latest creation, Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars.

The question, then, is will the saucy headline draw people in or turn them away?
Of course, the same could be asked of the simple option. Sure, it's the complete opposite of sensational, but it's kind of boring, too. Also, it doesn't really give any indication as to the content of the post.
What do all of you think? Should I go with saucy or simple--and why do you think I should use that option?

Just do what I do: subtitle! "'A Big Fat Orgasm' OR 'Ten Questions with Auntie Pixelante'"
A creative, saucy title is certainly eye-catching :P
Ha ha! Hmmmm, I'll have to consider that, Justin :)
Thanks, RKSimon! I'll have to fit some sauciness in there somewhere, won't I?
You got my creative juices flowing, Justin. Now I'm thinking the header may be:
Ten questions with auntie pixelante (or, why Anna Anthropy wants you to have a 'big, fat orgasm')
Or something like that :)
I think combining the two ideas definitely sounds the best! That way the sauciness kind of leaps at you in the end there, when you're not expecting it.
Thanks, Kamiwoo! Yes, I think mixing them together in some way is the best idea here. That way, both needs are met -- in a way :)
I third that!
Looking forward to reading it!
Thanks, Gaelach Rose! I'll be posting it shortly...
