Finish-A-Thon Title Suggestions

[calliopes_pen]

I’m trying to think of possible titles for the Finish-A-Thon fanfic I’m about to start on--any suggestions would be great. Keep in mind that it’s going to involve the Doctor getting turned into a marionette, being held captive, and eventually saved by Donna, Martha, and Jack. And somehow, some sort of pie stops this type of alien. I picture the type of pie interacts with the body chemistry of the alien, stopping them dead in their tracks.

The only titles I’ve been able to come up with so far that might possibly work are: Marionettes And Baguettes (which doesn’t work, since it’s pies--unless I change it to aliens defeated by being thwapped with those things, which isn’t what people voted for; anyone want me to throw in baguettes as well as pie?), The Marionettes Are Coming For You, and The Secret of the Pie.

For reference, if anyone isn’t sure or doesn’t want to dig through the posts, this is the prompt idea:

“Donna must use pie to save the Doctor from a tiny alien race that have used a shrink ray on him and imprisoned him in their ship with other assorted animals and sentient beings. As you might expect from the summary, it would be a humor-filled story.”

And this is the expansion of it that I mentioned in another post at multific:

“Part of the shrinking of the Doctor apparently now entails him getting turned into a small marionette, similar in nature to Pinocchio.

I can just picture Jack, Martha, and Donna mocking the Doctor while breaking him out of his prison, before settling in to help him battle the aliens with the aforementioned pie.”

After I eventually finish on the Finish-A-Thon fanfic, I’ll start another poll with the other options from the Finish-A-Thon poll—because at some point, I do want to end up writing all of those prompts I had listed.

In other news, for those interested I just found out the Sci-Fi Channel will be having a Highlander marathon on Thursday--from 7 AM to 11 PM CST, I believe. It was mentioned over at Io9, and you can see the schedule here. It’s in EST.

Hmm. Pie in the Sky? Me, Myself, and Pie? Pinocchio Pie? Poison Pie? (a nod to Poison Sky) Marionette Pot Pie? The Impiesible? The Puppet and the Pie? Weaponized Pies Are the Tastiest? Pie's Got No Strings?

Pity I didn't save that post that had the most commonly used words in DW titles... though from what I remember of it, I think we're looking at "The Pie of the Dead" ;)

Ok, ok, I'll throw some others in there:
"Comes a Pieman", "Time Again and Pie", "For the World is Hollow And I Have Touched the Pie"...(I know, I know, but it's fun), "The Pie's The Thing", "What Pie Did", "Tinker, Tailor, Doctor, Pie", "The Sign of the Pie"...
