The Leonard Cohen Title Challenge (Any Freaking Song but Hallelujah) - Rules

[minim_calibre]

Welcome to the Leonard Cohen Title Challenge! Motivated by this hilarious post on Tumblr involving Hallelujah lyrics as fic titles and musesfool saying that "Leonard Cohen has many, many other songs worth mining for titles."

This challenge is what it says on the tin: write fic, give fic a title using a Leonard Cohen song, any Leonard Cohen song. Any freaking song but Hallelujah.

The rules are simple: you have to use something from a song or poem written by Leonard Cohen for your title, but you can't use Hallelujah. Not the title, not the lyrics. None of it. Once you've written and posted, drop a link in the fills post and/or add it to the hall_no collection on AO3.

If you have an existing story that fits the bill, go ahead and add it to Leonard Cohen Titles (Any Freaking Song but "Hallelujah")! (We had a request for that.)

Song index (includes songs he covered, which don't count) available at https://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/songind.html.

query: since the AO3 collection is moderated, how much delay is reasonable to expect in getting stuff approved?

(because my fic isn't approved to be in the collection yet, which means my subtle attempt to cue people that the main thing of this fic is "everybody knows" is not showing up)

I swear I checked it last week! Approved now.

is there a setting so the collection notifies its moderators when something is added?

*has another pending*
