Given all the returning users lately, I'm writing a short comic series about a returning human who travels Neopia with a young Neopet, only to reunite with her old Neopets while travelling. I can't think of a title at all -- I'd love to have suggestions! I'm trying to find something travel-related. I'd also love help if there are any cliches or already-done concepts I should avoid, if anyone can think of any! (this is crossposted to the NeoBoard Neopian Writers, just fyi)

Here are some random title ideas:
Returning to Neopia: A Personal Journey
Reuniting with Neopia
A Reunion with Neopia
A Time Well Travelled: Returning to Neopia
Watch Out, Neopia: I'm Comin' Back!

Do you have an idea for the tone of the comic series? Comedic, dramatic, sentimental? That might help inform a title.
I'm the type that tends to stick to one or two words for a title; I like to say for style, but likely I'm just too lazy to spend long thinking about it xD But from that, listing words that may describe the overall story could be a good exercise. They may become a title or at least inform the future title. From what you described, words like "journey" "reunion" "travel" etc. can sum up the plot pretty good- perhaps they could be good starting points! I posted this before seeing replies before mine, so they already have some suggestions following this same line of thinking xD
As for cliches, off the top of my head there's the classics: -Meepits -Healing Springs Faerie is bad at her job -umm...
....Now that I think about it, a lot of NT cliches that come to mind are pretty archaic ones that I don't think have been used in years. Stuff like footnotes, giant textwalls, n00bs, rawr xD language.
One thing I'd say is to make sure the comic is the correct width. Technically comics more than 470px wide get accepted, but they break the page and become a nuisance x3;

Hello, I'm June Scarlet, I didn't get the chance introduce myself earlier.
Personally, I'd like to see you use your username in the comic, if it's to be about you. For example, my username is june_scarlet, and I have a comic called "Dinner with the Scarlets," and twillieblossom has a comic called "Blossoms."
I looked up your thread so I could see your username, so hopefully stuffingstar is the account you mean to submit on.
Maybe Star Stuff, or Shoot for the Stars, or North Star because the north star guides you in travel.
If this human isn't to be you, that opens things up quite a bit.

Ooo, I really love Nostalgic Wanderings and A Time Well Travelled! Thank you all for the suggestions Twillie -- I'm planning for it to be mostly sweet and sentimental! As their travels and the story progress, I was hoping to focus on how we as players tend to create found families with our Neopets, so it's definitely going to be a little sappy, haha. Thank you for all your suggestions on what to look for! June Scarlet -- Hi!! I actually just finished reading Ink the other day, it's great to meet you (I loved it so much!!) I'm planning to submit under cremebruleesmile; it's the older of my two accounts and it's to be my "main" as soon as I finish transferring stuff over. And yes, it is based on myself and the emotional process of accessing my older account after I thought I lost it for good. North Star is quite cute though..... Thank you so much for the suggestions!
