History Main / IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming

Sub-tropes include EpisodeFinishesTheTitle and ExcitedTitleTwoPartEpisodeName (typically taking the "____! _____!!" title format). Compare CrossReferencedTitles for when it's only a few episodes that share both a naming pattern and some internal connection, CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase (if they're used in a series), UnusualChapterNumbers, ThemeNaming, TranslationMatchmaking and TitleDrop.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming/{{Raocow}} (No, this isn't a medium. He uses this so much that he warrants his own section)

* English episode titles in [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} HOLOSTARS - Stars*collection!]] follow a specific pattern:

* English episode titles in [[WebAnimation/hololiveHOLOSTARSStarsCollection HOLOSTARS - Stars*collection!]] follow a specific pattern:

* LetsPlay/CallMeKevin labels his videos as '[Name of Videogame] but' and then adds how he fails or messes up, usually by picking 'I pick every bad option'.

* English episode titles in [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} HOLOSTARS - Stars*collection!]] follow a specific pattern:

** Episode 31 onwards has "(X) for Beginners".

* Every episode of [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]] and WebVideo/JesseCox's ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' playthrough was named "Jesse is bad at [thing]" (except the [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness second]], which was called "Jesse is "turable" at mental arithmetic"). Also, the second and third seasons were named [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next World Generation]] and [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Place Mine]].

* In hybrid webcomic/browser game ''WebComic/DemonThesis'', you control four college students who are unexpected gifted with ElementalPowers among other magic abilities and thrust into fighting all sorts of creatures, up to and including {{Eldritch Abomination}}s. Each major arc is labelled after part of the school or college experience, so we have arcs labelled as Intramurals, Field Trip, Midterms, Spring Break, etc.
* ''WebVideo/ComediansInCarsGettingCoffee'' titles each episode after a word or phrase from that episode's conversation.
* WebVideo/CatMuto's ''Persona 3'' Let's Play videos all had [[GratuitousLatin Latin titles]] that began with ''Memento''.

* ''Fanfic/BetweenMyBrotherAndMeMorsOmnibus'' has each chapter numbered as 'Xth Show' and each chapter is named after a Duel Monster card related to the events of each chapter.
* In ''Fanfic/NewHopeUniversityMajorInMurder'', each chapter is titled after a course. The prologue is "Intro to Psychology," the first chapter is "Economics of Labor I," and the second chapter is "History of Hellenistic Art II." Oddly enough, they drop the Roman numerals after a while, since the third chapter is "Topics of Cosmology," the fourth is "Seminar on Aging and Adulthood," and the fifth is "Mimesis in Theory And Practice."
* ''Fanfic/RickAndTheLoudHouse'' : Each chapter title is a combination of episode titles from each respective show. The only exceptions so far are Chapters 2 ("Lawnmower Dog"), 8 ("For Bros About to Rock"), and 11 ("The Citadel of Ricks").
* ''Fanfic/{{Maelstrom}}'' names each chapter after a different song.
* Similar to the main ''Anime/KillLaKill'' series, the chapters of ''Fanfic/NaturalSelection'' are named after songs. Unlike the series, whose episodes were named after J-Pop songs, the fic's chapters are named after songs from American and British Rock music.
* Except for the first chapter, the chapters of ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' have two titles: one named after a Pokémon Ability, the other follows the format of ''Infinity Train'' that showcases the name of the train car that is the focus.
* ''Fanfic/HereThereBeMonsters'': Every chapter has the word "Monster(s)" in the title.
* ''Fanfic/SteelSoulSaga'': Multiple levels:
** Each story has an AlliterativeTitle, with the first component being "Steel".
** The chapter titles in ''Steel Spirit'', are electronic / computer science / engineering terms, of sorts, and beyond the first, they're composed of two words: ''Sparks of Faith'', ''Calculated Decision'', ''Data Processing'', ''Electric Extrapolation'', ''Input Functionality'', ''Structured Analysis'' and ''Finalized Compilation''.
* ''Fanfic/TantabusMarkII'': Via FunWithAcronyms, with the story titles, themed on technology:
** '''A'''unthood '''I'''ssues: AI, a.k.a ArtificialIntelligence, which is basically what the Tantabus is.
** '''T'''antabus '''C'''ommunication '''P'''rotocol: TCP: Transmission Control Protocol, which governs how computers communicate to each other.
** '''H'''ow '''t'''he '''T'''antabus '''P'''arses '''S'''leep: HTTPS is the acronym for the "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure" that connects computers across the internet, securely.
* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'' uses the classic format of giving each chapter a fairly normal title (underlined), followed by "or" and a (usually) humorous line related to whatever the chapter's plot is about written in italics. It's even given a lampshade in [[WhamEpisode Chapter 122]], where it has ''"Sorry, no funny alternate title this time"''. Examples:
** Chapter 3: "When a Toad loves a Slug" or ''"Why prophecies are always so damn cryptic?"''
** Chapter 7: "Desert Winds" or ''Why turning your children into weapons is not cool"''
** Chapter 20: "The Troubles with Jinchuriki" or ''"Who would have guessed that the Demon Fox is a jerk?"''
* In ''Evangelion'' fanfic ''Fanfic/OrchestratingTheSilence'', all episodes are named after musical terms like "Larghetto" or "Grave Non Troppo".
* ''Fanfic/PokemonMaster'': "Returns". "Reunions". "Remembrances". "Rebellion". And so on. Every chapter's title is one word that begins with "Re".
* ''Fanfic/PromisesOfAWanderingHero'': All the chapters are titled after the arc they take place in followed by the corresponding Roman numeral e.g. ''Rusty Heart I''.
* Each chapter of ''Fanfic/KabbalahThePassiveConqueror'' is titled "The [word]". Examples include; "The Knight", "The Reaper", "The Nightmare" etc.
* ''Fanfic/OyasumiMidoriya'', as an explicit nod to ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'', uses "Layer" for most chapters.
* ''Fanfic/GleeReprise'' names each chapter after a quote from said chapter. Any chapter with a song being performed in it will be TitledAfterTheSong.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'' has had each [[MythArc Skywalker Saga]] film (not counting the ''A Star Wars Story'' films, ''Film/RogueOne'' and ''Film/{{Solo}}'') on top of a title for each, also designated by Episode, with the 1977-1983 trilogy Episodes IV to VI, their prequels from 1999-2005 I to III, and their sequels from 2015+ with VII onwards, presumably ending at IX. On top of this, the title of every trilogy capper starts with "R" -- ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' and ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''.

* Every episode of ''Podcast/SporadicPhantoms'' is titled "The [Word]", just like the ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' books it's based on.
* All of ''Podcast/Wolf359'''s episodes are named after a single line or [[OneWordTitle word]] from that episode, relevancy be damned. This can lead to some pretty cool titles ("Am I Alone Now?", "Deep Breaths", three-parter "Pan-Pan", "[[BottleEpisode Mayday]]" and "Sécurité", "Limbo", "Memoria", and "Into the Depths"), but most of them are incredibly silly, especially in season one. This is also the case with the WhamEpisode[=s=], by the way. The weirdest titles include: "Extreme Danger Bug", "Gas Me Twice", "The Kumbaya Approach", "What's Up Doc?", "Bach To The Future", "Lame-O Superhero Origin Story", two-parter [[KnockKnockJoke "Knock Knock" and "Who's There?"]], "Don't Poke The Bear", two-parter "Desperate Times" and "Desperate Measures", "The Hiccups Method" and "Shut Up And Listen".

* Each episode of ''Podcast/CampHereAndThere'' is titled in the format "The [X] of [Y]". Starting from episode 2, the word for [X] is whatever word was the [Y] for the previous episode. For example, episode 1 was titled "The Beginning of the End", episode 2 was "The End of the Squall", episode 3 was "The Squall of Prophecy" etc.

* BBC radio comedy ''Radio/TheBurkissWay'', being originally conceived with the conceit of being the radio version of correspondence course "The Burkiss Way to Dynamic Living", used the form "Lesson X: ______ The Burkiss Way": "Lesson 1: Peel Bananas The Burkiss Way", "Lesson 4: Solve Murders The Burkiss Way", "Lesson 12: Make Short Comedy Programmes The Burkiss Way", etc. As the show drifted away from the original format to a more surreal form, they began playing with the format: "Lesson 19: Replace The Burkiss Way", "Lesson 21: Get Cut Off The Bur-", "Lesson 23: Son Of The Burkiss Way", etc. This was lampshaded with "Lesson 28: Ignore These Programme Titles The Burkiss Way". The penultimate episode of series 4 is called "Lesson 33: The Last Burkiss Way"; the actual final episode is then called "Lesson 34: The Next To Last Burkiss Way". There are two Lesson 39s, both called "Repeat Yourself The Burkiss Way"; the second starts the same as the first, before stopping with an apology for putting the wrong tape on. Lesson 45 is usually referred to as "Write Extremely Long Titles The Burkiss Way"; The full title as given in the Radio Times is "Lesson 45: Write Extremely Long Titles With Lots And Lots Of Words In, Like This, So That The Radio Times Will Have To Allot More Space Than The Measly Half A Centimetre Of Billing Space We Usually Get And At Least It'll Look A Bit More Prominent On The Page, Although Still Nowhere Near The 50 Column Inches They Give To [[Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy The Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy]] The Burkiss Way".

* The first season of ''Radio/RevoltingPeople'' had the episode titles "[[AStormIsComing Storm Clouds]]"; "More Storm Clouds"; "Even More Storm Clouds"; "Tons of Storm Clouds"; "A Helluva Lot of Storm Clouds"; and "An Incredible Amount of Storm Clouds". Season 2 had "Trying Times"; "Even More Trying Times"; "Some More Trying Times"; "And Yet Even More Trying Times"; "A Bunch More Trying Times"; and "Still in Trying Times". They dropped the idea in seasons 3 and 4.
* As in the TV show that succeeded it, the ''Dragnet'' radio show episodes were all of the format "The Big ____"
* ''Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' in its entirety was split up into phases (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quandary, Quintessential and Hexagonal) and each phase was split into six "fits" (reference to Lewis Carroll).

* ''Radio/{{Undone}}'' had single word titles beginning "Un": series 1's were "Unalike", "Untoward", "Ungainly", "Underground", "United" and "Unending".

* Every episode of ''Radio/CabinPressure'' is titled after a town or city which is involved in the storyline. Usually because it's where the episode is at least partly set, but sometimes it's just where they're ''trying'' to go, and in "Kuala Lumpar" it's the hypothetical destination of the flight in a roleplay scenario. Also crosses over with AlphabeticalThemeNaming as each episode begins with a consecutive letter of the alphabet, from "Abu Dhabi" to "Zurich".

* The code names of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' expansions always have some kind of theme to them, ranging from Mexican words to food; examples have included "Rock/Paper/Scissors" (for ''Shards of Alara''/''Conflux''/''Alara Reborn'') and "Live/Long/Prosper" (for ''Zendikar''/''Worldwake''/''Rise of the Eldrazi'').

* Filmcow’s series “Ghost House” gives it’s episodes subtitles from various movies.

* Almost all ''Webcomic/{{Wondermark}}'' strips are titled "In Which [insert description of plot here]".
* ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' titles originally started out as a reasonable description of the events in the story. However, they have since evolved into an alternative to AltText, usually with bizarre capitalisation rules and sometimes with nothing to do with the story. For example, one comic (which was about "WHAT YOUNG T-REX THINKS ADULT LIFE WILL BE LIKE" and "WHAT TEEN T-REX THINKS ADULT LIFE WILL BE LIKE") was "[[http://qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1157 when i was a kid i solemnly vowed that, when i was an adult, i would make a batch of chocolate chip cookies and eat all the dough, because my mom wouldn't let me eat raw cookie dough. it is a vow i have yet to satisfy and which haunts me still]]" and another (in which T-Rex tells the other dinosaurs about a man who was freestyle rapping outside his window the night before) is [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=001143 "last night i was at a friend's house and mimed a helicopter, which caused me to break a glass and spill beer everywhere. i was like, man, why did have to mime a helicopter? i felt terrible and it wasn't even a very good helicopter impression."]] The titles are only visible from the [[http://www.qwantz.com/archive.php archives]] and RSS feed anyway, making them little more than a 4th punchline to the comic (after the alt tag and email comment {{Easter Egg}}s).
* Each page of ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'' is named with a relevant catch-phrase or pop-culture reference, or (more frequently) pun based on such. One word of every title is written in all-caps to make them [[MundaneMadeAwesome more dramatic]]. For example: [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonderella/series.php?view=archive&chapter=14478 "SIN Derella,"]] [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonderella/series.php?view=archive&chapter=25918 "A Christmas PERIL,"]] and [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonderella/series.php?view=archive&chapter=24892 "MELANIN COLLEAGUE and the Infinite Sadness."]]
* The name of each page of ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' is a quote from the page.
** And the chapter titles are all metaphors from computing or gaming.
* Each ''Webcomic/ThreePanelSoul'' strip is named "On ________", with the ________ usually referring to the strip's subject. For example: [[http://threepanelsoul.com/2008/11/26/on-surnames/ On Surnames]]

* The ''Prime Directive'' storyline of ''Adventures In Aaron's Room'' is the only one to stick with single-word titles.

* The chapters of ''Webcomic/SoulSymphony'' are called Movements (First Movement, Second Movement, etc.) based on the separation of a piece of classical music into movements.

* ''Webcomic/{{Reliquary}}'' started out titling chapters with phrases involving "life," up to Chapter Four: End of Life. Chapter Five is "Angel of Death," indicating a new theme.
* The titles of ''Webcomic/ScrambledEggs'' comics are written in the first panels as, "Scrambled Eggs in X", even though [[IAmNotShazam the series' title doesn't refer to any character or team in the comic]].

* In ''Triquetra Cats'' each Chapter refers to a Period.

* Averted with Scott Kurtz's ''Webcomic/{{PVP}}''. When the first collected edition came out he titled it ''PVP at Large'', a reference to the first ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' book. Kurtz's publisher suggested he continue copying the Garfield titles with subsequent volumes, but Kurtz decided against it because he didn't want to eventually title a book "''PVP Kicks Odie Off a Table'' or something."
* ''Webcomic/TheDailyDerp'': Early strips almost always had the title "The Daily Derp", with some letters replaced randomly, forming a WordPureeTitle. Currently, most strip titles are a play on the phrase, or at least include the words "daily" or "derp" somewhere.
* ''Webcomic/AllenTheAlien'' has chapters which are allusions to lyrics in songs.
* The chapters in ''Webcomic/KiwiBlitz'' are called "tracks", and each track is named after an electronica song. Flashbacks in between tracks are called "sound-bites".
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' doesn't normally do this, but the first [[WhamEpisode Sister arc]] was broken into 8 parts, coming together to tell the story of a board game - "Open the Box", "Read the Rules", "Set up the Pieces", "Play the Game", "Knock the Board Over", "Scattered Pieces", "Fist Fight", "Clean Up".
* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain:''
** Starting with Chapter 3, all the chapter titles are water-themed, in keeping with Undine's MakingASplash powers and ascension to protagonist. Chapter three is [[http://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-3-page-04 "Sinking,"]] five is [[http://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-5-page-1 "Drifting,"]] six is [[http://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-6-page-03 "Refraction"]] (of light, by water).
** Chapter 10 breaks the pattern with a heart themed title, "Diastole," after the part of the process of a heartbeat when the heart expands. The cover page also displays ''only'' Heartful Punch, with Undine nowhere to be seen.
* ''Webcomic/BecauseImDepressed'', like ''Three Panel Soul'', has its strips' titles in the format "On [subject]". The few exceptions to this are guest strips.
* ''Webcomic/BinaryStars'': Each episode is named after various astronomical concepts.

* In WebVideo/TheWithVoicesProject, all the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSRV2j8i5ybbLiM4ZmFbtEvmJWHeZ7ifj Ib With Voices episodes]] are named for the colors of the walls of the rooms Ib is exploring at that time.
* In TabletopGame/NewVindicators, every chapter in the main narrative is named after a song. In the European game, this isn't the case, although the first major arc has chapters named after chess terms, relating to MeaningfulName.
* The title of every episode of ''WebVideo/TheTimeGuys'' is based on a saying with the word "time" in it.
* Some FAQ/walkthrough writers on Website/GameFAQs do this. For instance, Split Infinity, a major ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' FAQ writer, uses names of characters for version "numbers."
* The Website/GameFAQs Contests had divisions named after cardinal directions, plain numbers, or in the case of two game contests, acknowledging the period covered either through the years or the generations ([[UsefulNotes/TheThirdGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 8]], [[UsefulNotes/TheFourthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 16]], [[UsefulNotes/TheFifthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 32\64]], and [[UsefulNotes/TheSixthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 128]]). Although most memorably it named divisions with a term related to the top seed's origin - e.g. ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': Hyrule, Triforce; ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'': Zebes, Spazer, Varia; ''Franchise/MetalGear'': Gear, Snake, Patriot; ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': Chaos, Blast; ''Videogame/FinalFantasyVII'': Midgar, Jenova, Limit.
* BMW. Their [=YouTube=] channel.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/c/BMW/videos?view=0&sort=da&flow=grid Most of their videos. Just like this.]]
* [[Creator/PhilthonJones Caught Chatting]] follows the pattern of Series/TwoAndAHalfMen, naming each episode after a quote from it.

* ''Podcast/{{Psycomedia}}'' uses this for the Frankenpodcasts, which are named after the [[Film/{{Frankenstein 1931}} Universal film series.]]
* ''WebVideo/ThePlatoonOfPowerSquadron'' calls each episode a hypothesis.
* For its first season, ''Series/{{Noob}}'' named its episodes "level [number]".
* In hybrid webcomic/browser game ''WebComic/DemonThesis'', you control four college students who are unexpected gifted with ElementalPowers among other magic abilities and thrust into fighting all sorts of creatures, up to and including {{Eldritch Abomination}}s. Each major arc is labelled after part of the school or college experience, so we have arcs labelled as Intramurals, Field Trip, Midterms, Spring Break, etc.
* For the first four years of the [[https://www.youtube.com/ApprenticeEh ApprenticeEh]] vlog, they used movie, TV, and book titles but replaced all or part of a word with "vlog". This ended at the start of 2015 when they changed up their whole vlog format.
* ''WebVideo/ComediansInCarsGettingCoffee'' titles each episode after a word or phrase from that episode's conversation.
* WebVideo/CatMuto's ''Persona 3'' Let's Play videos all had [[GratuitousLatin Latin titles]] that began with ''Memento''.
* Every chapter of Elizabeth Sandifer's ''Series/DoctorWho'' analysis blog ''[[http://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/author/phil/tardis-eruditorum/ TARDIS Eruditorum]]'' that covers a televised ''Doctor Who'' story is a relevant quote from a different Doctor. Interspersed between these are other posts with the categories "Pop Between Realities, Home In Time For Tea" (influences on the series from beyond the Whoniverse); "Expecting Someone Else" (contemporary ''Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse'' works featuring the Doctor); "Time Can Be Rewritten" (later Expanded Universe works featuring this Doctor); and "Outside the Government" (Expanded Universe works that don't feature the Doctor, or televised things that aren't exactly part of the series - interestingly, Sandifer considers ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' to fall into this category, rather than "Pop Between Realities"). During the hiatus, when books and audios become the main storyline, they stop being "Expecting Someone Else", and get a new convention where they're titled by a relevant quote from the series by someone other than the Doctor.
* ''WebOriginal/{{Brat}}'': While ''Chicken Girls'' had a few episodes in Season 1 that are named after the days of the week, each episode in Season 1 is named after a musical (e.g. "Mamma Mia", "Little Shop of Horrors", "Wicked" and "Bye Bye Birdie").

* ''WebVideo/VGMyths'': QuestioningTitle: "Can You [Challenge]?"

* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7344852/1/Marik_and_Bakura_333_Ways Marik and Bakura 333 Ways]],'' each chapter is titled "In Which [blank]", where [blank] is a very brief overview of the chapter.

* Every chapter of ''Fanfic/OfLoveAndBunnies'' is named for an episode in which a member of the ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' or ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'' appeared. It was initially confined to just those two shows, but [[LongRunners then the writers starting running out of names]].

* Every title in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5999251/1/The_Reprint_and_Repackaging_of_Evangelion The Reprint and Repackaging of Evangelion]] is a song lyric.
* ''Fanfic/APosseAdEsse'', a ''VideoGame/DieAnstalt'' fanfic, uses Latin phrases for chapter titles. So far, ''Compos Mentis'' for Chapter 9 [[PretentiousLatinMotto is the least obscure of them]].
* ''Fanfic/ASalarymanInNobunasCourt'' has each chapter referred to as a 'Slice' which is appropriate for the story being set in the Warring States era.
* ''Fanfic/TangledUpInBlues'': The chapters are all titled "The [something] Blues", usually referring to the prominent location or character from the chapter, until the last one (which is simply "The Friendship Blues").

* Every chapter of ''Fanfic/PokemonMysteryDungeonReflectingBalance'' is named after a line of dialogue spoken in that chapter.
* Half of all the thread titles at ''Roleplay/AbsitOmen'' (a Harry Potter forum roleplay) contain many shout-outs to other fantasy, film, television and music, along with author and character specific titles ('The Adventure of the _____' when following the mysteries an auror character investigates).
* ''Fanfic/TheMixedUpLifeOfBrad'' has chapter names made up of puns that incorporate the name "Brad".

* Every title of every story in ''Fanfic/TheVinylAndOctaviaSeries'' is "Vinyl and Octavia..." followed by a general synopsis of the plot. To a lesser extent, as there's only two chapters, the fifth story, ''Vinyl and Octavia Have Multiple Dates'', has the chapters named ''Octavia's Date with Vinyl'' and ''Vinyl's Date with Octavia'' respectively.
* All the titles in book two of ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'' are words about a person (Liar, Runner, Guesser, etc.), describing the perspective character.

* In ''Fanfic/NarutoTheSecretSongsOfTheNinja'' every chapter is called a "Song", starting with "The Song of Lost Souls" and moving through "The Song of the New Path", "The Song of the Wanderer", "The Song of Bloody Tears" and so on, so forth.

* Each chapter in ''Fanfic/CibusEsculentusMadokaMagica'' is named after meal courses.
* In ''Fanfic/TheBridge'' spinoff ''The Bridge: Sound of Thunder'', the chapter titles form a short poem when combined.
* In ''Fanfic/VariousVytalVentures'', chapter titles are two four-letter words, usually a short common phrase, that indicates the chapter's content, like 'Body and Soul', 'Rock and Roll', or 'Wine and Dine'. WordOfGod is that the final chapters are intended to be 'Rise and Fall' and then ‘Dusk and Dawn’, set long after the end of the RWBY main series.
* The chapters of ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'' are often titled ''Weiss Reacts to X'', with X being the subject of the chapter. Climactic or plot-heavy arcs are titled with ''The (Event Name)'', and some fanfics are called by ''Special Chapter: (Fanfic Name)''.
* All odd-numbered chapters in ''Fanfic/TheSecondTry'' are numbered from 12th to 17th to represent the [[EldritchAbomination Angel]] fought, while even-numbered chapters are named with a single verb based on its major theme.

** The chapter titles in ''Recap/TriptychContinuumAMarkOfAppeal'' all reference sexuality.
** ''Recap/TriptychContinuumGlimmer'' appears to have computer terminology as its title theme.
** In the Continuum splinter-continuity story ''FanFic/DailyEquestriaLifeWithMonsterGirl'', each title is a one-word adjective with negative connotations ("Grotesque", "Inappropriate", "Cacaphonous", etc).
* In ''Fanfic/HoliDaze'', each chapter of ''12 Days'' is titled after the 12 days of Christmas and each chapter of ''13 Nights'' is titled after a horror movie.
* Starting with ''Away'', every chapter title in ''Fanfic/{{Stroll}}'' is related to the previous.
* The chapters of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''/''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' FusionFic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9990992/1/Tears-of-Revelry Tears of Revelry]]'' are derived from lines of four songs that formed the core soundtrack of the fanfic, "Seven Devils" by Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine, "Remember the Name" by Music/FortMinor, "We Are One" by 12 Stones, and "Lexington" by Alpha Rev.
* Each chapter of ''Fanfic/BlizzardOfTheRedCastle'' works in the English translation(s) of the character(s) principally involved in it.

* ''Fanfic/SunsplitSaga'': Multiple forms:
** Each story is a OneWordTitle {{Portmantitle}} with alliterative components, and the first component being "Sun".
** Each story, except for the fourth, has their first chapter's title be someone's yelled line:
*** Sunsplit: [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/322018/1/sunsplit/what-no-absolutely-not "WHAT NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!"]]
*** Sunspawned: [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/322325/1/sunspawned/oh-sweet-celestia-youve-got-to-fix-this "OH SWEET CELESTIA YOU'VE GOT TO FIX THIS!"]]
*** Sunshipped: [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/333001/1/sunshipped/i-you-bu-wha-who-the-hay-are-you "I-YOU-BU-WHA--WHO THE HAY ARE YOU?!?!"]]
*** Sunscarred: [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/362560/1/sunscarred/wait-what "Wait... what?"]]
** Each story's chapter titles are technically the first line of their chapter.
* Every chapter in ''Fanfic/HellAndHighWater'' takes its name from a song lyric from a song, with both the lyric on its own and the meaning of the overall song reflecting the themes of that particular chapter.
* The Manic Nuzlockes occasionally make use of this. [[https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/nuzlocke_forum/completed-manic-39-s-argent-ante-t25328.html Argent Ante]], a Nuzlocke of the Gen 2 Remakes, had a [[PlayingCardMotifs playing card]] theme, so all the episode titles from Chapter 2 onwards were gambling terms.

* ''Fanfic/YoullGetNoAnswersFromTheBlueSeaStar'': The chapter titles (usually) have nothing to do with their contents. They consist of the day in November on which the chapter was written, followed by some random musing or ranting on the author's part.
* ''Fanfic/BetweenMyBrotherAndMeMorsOmnibus'' has each chapter numbered as 'Xth Show' and each chapter is named after a Duel Monster card related to the events of each chapter.
* In ''Fanfic/NewHopeUniversityMajorInMurder'', each chapter is titled after a course. The prologue is "Intro to Psychology," the first chapter is "Economics of Labor I," and the second chapter is "History of Hellenistic Art II." Oddly enough, they drop the Roman numerals after a while, since the third chapter is "Topics of Cosmology," the fourth is "Seminar on Aging and Adulthood," and the fifth is "Mimesis in Theory And Practice."
* ''Fanfic/RickAndTheLoudHouse'' : Each chapter title is a combination of episode titles from each respective show. The only exceptions so far are Chapters 2 ("Lawnmower Dog"), 8 ("For Bros About to Rock"), and 11 ("The Citadel of Ricks").
* ''Fanfic/{{Maelstrom}}'' names each chapter after a different song.
* Similar to the main ''Anime/KillLaKill'' series, the chapters of ''Fanfic/NaturalSelection'' are named after songs. Unlike the series, whose episodes were named after J-Pop songs, the fic's chapters are named after songs from American and British Rock music.
* Except for the first chapter, the chapters of ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'' have two titles: one named after a Pokémon Ability, the other follows the format of ''Infinity Train'' that showcases the name of the train car that is the focus.
* ''Fanfic/HereThereBeMonsters'': Every chapter has the word "Monster(s)" in the title.
* ''Fanfic/SteelSoulSaga'': Multiple levels:
** Each story has an AlliterativeTitle, with the first component being "Steel".
** The chapter titles in ''Steel Spirit'', are electronic / computer science / engineering terms, of sorts, and beyond the first, they're composed of two words: ''Sparks of Faith'', ''Calculated Decision'', ''Data Processing'', ''Electric Extrapolation'', ''Input Functionality'', ''Structured Analysis'' and ''Finalized Compilation''.
* ''Fanfic/TantabusMarkII'': Via FunWithAcronyms, with the story titles, themed on technology:
** '''A'''unthood '''I'''ssues: AI, a.k.a ArtificialIntelligence, which is basically what the Tantabus is.
** '''T'''antabus '''C'''ommunication '''P'''rotocol: TCP: Transmission Control Protocol, which governs how computers communicate to each other.
** '''H'''ow '''t'''he '''T'''antabus '''P'''arses '''S'''leep: HTTPS is the acronym for the "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure" that connects computers across the internet, securely.
* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'' uses the classic format of giving each chapter a fairly normal title (underlined), followed by "or" and a (usually) humorous line related to whatever the chapter's plot is about written in italics. It's even given a lampshade in [[WhamEpisode Chapter 122]], where it has ''"Sorry, no funny alternate title this time"''. Examples:
** Chapter 3: "When a Toad loves a Slug" or ''"Why prophecies are always so damn cryptic?"''
** Chapter 7: "Desert Winds" or ''Why turning your children into weapons is not cool"''
** Chapter 20: "The Troubles with Jinchuriki" or ''"Who would have guessed that the Demon Fox is a jerk?"''
* ''Fanfic/ConnectingTheDots'' has every chapter named with a word that ends in "-tion". For instance, the first two chapters are titled "Introduction" and "Initiation", and the final four are "Finalization", "Conclusion", "Perpetuation" and "Repercussions".
* ''Fanfic/BetweenTheLinesMrQuestionMark'': The title used for the chapter's page titles all start with "The".
* In ''Evangelion'' fanfic ''Fanfic/OrchestratingTheSilence'', all episodes are named after musical terms like "Larghetto" or "Grave Non Troppo".
* ''Fanfic/PokemonMaster'': "Returns". "Reunions". "Remembrances". "Rebellion". And so on. Every chapter's title is one word that begins with "Re".
* ''Fanfic/PromisesOfAWanderingHero'': All the chapters are titled after the arc they take place in followed by the corresponding Roman numeral e.g. ''Rusty Heart I''.
* Each chapter of ''Fanfic/KabbalahThePassiveConqueror'' is titled "The [word]". Examples include; "The Knight", "The Reaper", "The Nightmare" etc.
* ''Fanfic/OyasumiMidoriya'', as an explicit nod to ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'', uses "Layer" for most chapters.
* ''Fanfic/GleeReprise'' names each chapter after a quote from said chapter. Any chapter with a song being performed in it will be TitledAfterTheSong.

* ''Fanfic/ThePiratesSoldier'' uses a similar format to ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', with the chapter's title being "No need for ____!" filling the blank with something related to the chapter's plot. The only exceptions are the chapters covering the Time and Space Adventures arc.

* Creator/DavidCross' standup comedy albums ''Shut Up You Fucking Baby!'' and ''It's Not Funny'' use track titles that have nothing to do with the routines heard on the album, but are instead meant to mock cliched stand-up comedy material - Sample titles include "Monica Lewinsky and the Three Bears" and "My Child is Enthralling, Especially When It Says Something Unexpectedly Precocious Even Though It Doesn't Understand What It Just Said!". His other albums used more straightforward track titles, but the tour documentary ''Let America Laugh'' used the titles of ComicBook/ChickTracts for DVD chapter titles.

* Also by Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale: In ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}: ComicBook/TheLongHalloween'', each issue is named for a holiday (with the exception of the first and last issues, named "Crime" and "Punishment"). In ''Comicbook/SupermanForAllSeasons'' each issue is named after the season it's set in.
* All of ''Franchise/TheWalkingDead'' trade paperbacks have a three-word title.
* Several arcs in Brian Azzarello's ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' run were named after phrases involving the word "Hell", including "Highwater" and "...Freezes Over".
* With one exception, the title of each of the ''ComicBook/OneHundredBullets'' collections is based around its number. Book two is "Split Second Chance", while book ten is "Decayed" (sounds like decade). Some titles don't actually contain the numerical pun, but instead are cleverly part of a phrase that would usually include that number, such as "Samurai," the seventh book, "The Hard Way," the eighth, and the twelfth book, "Dirty." The only book to break this tradition is "Hang Up on the Hang Low", which was named after a StoryArc contained in the book as the story in question had won an Eisner Award.
** The final volume, "Wilt," is especially clever since it's not only referring to the end of the series, but also to [[spoiler:Wilt Chamberlain's jersey number with the LA Lakers, which was 13.]]
* Each chapter of ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'' features a word beginning with 'V'; "The Villain", "Virtue Victorious", "The Verdict", "Verwirrung" (German for confusion), etc.
* Each story in ''ComicBook/DRAndQuinch'' is titled "D.R. & Quinch _____". For example, "D.R. & Quinch Go Girl Crazy".
* The title of every chapter of ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'', and in fact the title ''Watchmen'' itself, is a LiteraryAllusionTitle, with the full quote given at the end of each chapter.

* The ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' trades are all named after classic {{sitcom}}s. For instance, one was ''Series/FamilyMatters'', then ''Series/TheFactsOfLife'', and so on.
** The tradition was unfortunately broken with the "Viltrumite War" trade.
* The ''ComicBook/FunWithMilkAndCheese'' comics were entitled "First Number One," "Second Number One," etc. until the 5th issue was finally "First Number Two." Based on the notion that the Number One issue of a comic book tends to be grabbed up by collectors and speculators to sell more issues.
* The first 20 issues of ''ComicBook/SpiderManLovesMaryJane'', as well as the two ''Mary Jane'' miniseries preceding them, were all entitled "The ___ Thing", with the second word having to do with the comic's plot. For example, issue 4, when [[spoiler:Gwen Stacy is introduced]], is called "The Unexpected Thing."
* The four chapters of ''ComicBook/GiveMeLiberty'' are named "Homes & Gardens", "Travel & Entertainment", "Health & Welfare", and "Death & Taxes", respectively. The contents are not quite that cheery.
** With the exception of the fourth chapter, which is more cheerful than either death or taxes. Just.
* Four of the ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark'' graphic novel collections have titles that could be seen as forming a sentence: ''Women'', ''Reads'', ''Minds'', ''Guys''. (Cerebus's belief in female telepathy is discussed at some point during the story.)
* Each chapter in the first storyline of the Creator/VertigoComics ''Comicbook/MadameXanadu'' book is titled by a form of divination, which Madame X uses in that chapter: "[[GeometricMagic By the Runes]]", "[[{{Astrologer}} Among the Stars]]", "[[TarotTroubles In the Cards]]", "[[CrystalBall Thru the Crystal]]", and finally the more general "Of the Future".
* The ''ComicBook/SexCriminals'' collections are titled with consecutive numbers at the beginning: ''One Weird Trick'', ''Two Worlds One Cop'', ''Three the Hard Way''...
* The collections of ''ComicBook/TheUnbeatableSquirrelGirl'' are all titled with pop music quotations, with the word "girl" replaced with the word "squirrel".

* In ''[[ComicBook/MageTheHeroDiscovered Mage]]'', each chapter in each of the three volumes is titled with a phrase from a specific Shakespeare play: ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' in ''The Hero Discovered'', ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' in ''The Hero Defined'', and ''Theatre/TheTempest'' in ''The Hero Denied''.
* In keeping with the Hollywood theme of the series, the names of all of the ''ComicBook/LoriLovecraft'' stories are plays on film titles from the Golden Age of Hollywood (usually FilmNoir). Specifically:
** ''My Favorite Redhead'' = ''Film/MyFavoriteBlonde''
** ''The Dark Lady'' = ''Film/TheDarkMan''
** ''Repression'' = ''Film/{{Obsession}}''
** ''The Big Comeback'' = ''Film/TheBigCombo''
** ''Into the Past'' = ''Film/OutOfThePast''
** ''The Road to Kadath'' = ''The Film/RoadTo'' series
* Every issue of the Comicbook/New52 ''Comicbook/{{OMAC}}'' series has a title with the "O.M.A.C." acronym. This even extends to the origin story in ''DC Universe Presents'' #0 after the book ended, which was called "Origins Matter After Cancellation".
* Chapter numbers in ''ComicBook/OrangeCrows'' are prefaced with the word "Scar." So "Scar 1", "Scar 2", "Scar 3..."
* Every issue of the ''Comicbook/ForeverEvil'' miniseries had the title "Forever _____".
* Similarly, every issue of the ''Comicbook/InfiniteFrontier'' miniseries had the title "Infinite _____". This was cleverly used in #3, which reintroduced the second-generation ''Comicbook/{{JSA}}'' characters, and was titled "[[Comicbook/InfinityInc Infinite Incorporated]]".

* ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse'':
** In ''Griffin Over the Line'', each chapter is titled "The [Adjective] Jerk".
** In ''Musicians and Dreamers'', each chapter is named after a musical term related to its contents (the introduction where Octavia and Lyra meet is called "Duo for Strings", the one where Lyra and Trixie fight is called "Dissonance", the final chapter is called "Coda", and so on).
* ''Fanfic/ThroughTheEyesOfAnotherPony'': The subtitles of chapters all work in "chapter" (Revenge of the Chapter, Son of a Chapter, The Bride of Chapter...).

* Every installment of the ''New Look Series'' is titled like [Victim]'s New Look: [Title]
* Every title in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5999251/1/The_Reprint_and_Repackaging_of_Evangelion The Reprint and Repackaging of Evangelion]] is a song lyric.
* Every chapter except the prologue and epilogue in ''Fanfic/TheFirstSaniwa'' is titled with a ''yojijukugo'', 4-kanji proverb, formatted as follows: [proverb in kanji] – [romaji reading][[labelnote:Example]]Chapter 7: 油断大敵 – Yudantaiteki[[/labelnote]]. Doubles as ForeignLanguageTitle.
* Instead of numbered chapters, ''Fuck the Jesus Beam'' uses named chapters with titles. For example, "Chapter Rape: Holocaust."
* ''Fanfic/HuntingTheUnicorn'' names its chapters after characters in ''Literature/TheLastUnicorn''. The three exceptions so far are "The Midnight Carnival," "The Quest," and "The Clock." The last two are ''very'' important, plot-wise.

* In ''Fanfic/WinterWar'', the chapter titles are of the format "[POV character]: [Title]", or "Ensemble: [Title]" if there are several POV characters- e.g., "Nanao: Winter", "Ensemble: "The Day Before". The few exceptions are things like "Karakura: Waiting" (actually the first ensemble chapter) and a very few chapters that list multiple narrators in the heading, like "Momo, Isane: We Have Met The Enemy".

* The long ''Series/ICarly'' fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5461414/1/Beneath_The_Pale_Moonlight ''Beneath The Pale Moonlight'']] uses song titles for chapter names. The title of the story itself isn't the name of a song, but ''is'' taken from a line in the song ''Save The Last Dance For Me'' by the Drifters (not ''Somewhere Out There'' from the ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' soundtrack).
* ''Fanfic/APosseAdEsse'', a ''VideoGame/DieAnstalt'' fanfic, uses Latin phrases for chapter titles. So far, ''Compos Mentis'' for Chapter 9 [[PretentiousLatinMotto is the least obscure of them]].

* ''Fanfic/ADelicateBalance'' names each chapter after a Creator/JohnDonne poem, a quote from which appears as an {{Epigraph}} at the start of each chapter.
* ''WebAnimation/ZanyToTheMax'': Every Kat the Cat segment is entitled "Kat the Cat: The ___," the blank being a noun that has to do with the episode.
* @/LadyNorbert tends to use this trope in a lot of her larger fanworks:
** Each installment of the Fanfic/ElementalChessTrilogy has a theme around which each chapter is titled. ''Flowers of Antimony'' uses alchemical terms; ''Brilliancy'' uses chess terms; ''The Game of Three Generals'' uses terms from shogi (Japanese chess); the prequel ''Triumvirate'' uses military terms; and the DistantFinale ''Chronology'' uses time travel terms.
** The ''[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]]'' story ''Fanfic/TilTheSunGrowsCold and the Stars Grow Old'' uses a phrase from Shakespeare for the title of each chapter.
** The ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' fic ''Fanfic/ShadowAndRose'' uses the name of an object (weapon, artifact, etc.) from the game for each chapter title.
** In ''Fanfic/TwiceUponAnAge,'' the two main stories take all of their chapter titles from the [[Franchise/DragonAge Chant of Light]].
** The [[FanFic/{{Cinderjuice}} Contractually Obligated Chaos]] stories are all ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}''d partial spoofs of various pieces of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, so the chapter titles of each story are a quote (or a twisted version thereof, in the first story) from the animated film which helps to form the plot. The lone exception is the {{interquel}}, which takes its title and subheadings from an Music/OwlCity song.
** In ''Fanfic/BeyondHeroes: Of Sunshine and Red Lyrium'', all of the chapter titles are lines of dialogue spoken by Varric in either ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' or ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', because Varric is the narrative character and SupportingProtagonist of the story.

* Most fan works based off on the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series include the word turnabout in the title, like in the canon cases. Examples include ''Fanfic/ACompleteTurnabout'', ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'' and ''[[VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorneyCase5TurnaboutSubstitution Turnabout Substitution]]''.

* In ''Fanfic/BecomingATrueInvader'', every chapter has "[[DoomyDoomsOfDoom DOOM]]" in its title somewhere.
* ''Fanfic/ACertainMagicalFriendship'': Two words joined by an underscore, for the names of each of its stories: ''Context_SHIFT'', ''MIRROR_NOISE'', ''blood_manifestation''.

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Every story in the series is titled after its subject matter or a similar important plot element, always using "The" as the first word: "The Seven," "The Survivor," "The Box," "The Wedding Reception," "The Rings," "The Imaginary Letters," "The Marching Song," etc.
* ''Fanfic/YuyaVision'' has each of the chapters called "Episode" (since it's based on ''Series/WandaVision'' that was inspired by sitcoms) with each title named after a line from one of the songs of ''35MM: A Musical Exhibition''

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming/{{Raocow}} (No, this isn't a genre. He uses this so much that he warrants his own section)

[[quoteright:290:[[Series/{{Friends}} https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/friends.PNG]]]]
[[caption-width-right:290:Hey, what's the one with similar episode names?[[note]][[MultiPartEpisode Two-parters]], [[DontExplainTheJoke that's what]].[[/note]]]]

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' has a variant seen in its second story arc, ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheRecollection The Recollection Trilogy]]'': Each of the story arc's three seasons (''Reconstruction'', ''Recreation'', and ''Revelation'') and two miniseries ("Recovery One" and "Relocated") start with the "Re-" prefix.

* English episode titles in [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} Stars*collection!]] follow a specific pattern pertaining to everyday activities for newbies:
** Episodes 1 through 10 have "...for Dummies".
** Episodes 11 through 20 have "...for Rookies".
** Episodes 21 through 30 have "...for Novices".
** Episode 31 onwards has "...for Beginners".

** Episodes 1-10: "...for Dummies".
** Episodes 11-20: "...for Rookies".
** Episodes 21-30: "...for Novices".
** Episodes 31 onwards: "...for Beginners".

* English episode titles in [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} Stars*collection!]] end with "for Dummies" from episodes 1 to 10, "for Rookies" from episodes 11 to 20, and "for Novices" from episode 21.

* ''Fanfic/BetweenTheLines'': The title used for the chapter's page titles all start with "The".

* The ''Fanfic/StoryShuffle'' series has the chapters involving Octavia, a musician, have MusicalThemeNaming:
** The first anthology, ''Fanfic/StoryShuffle1'', has [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/31/story-shuffle/coda "Coda."]]
** The second anthology, ''Fanfic/StoryShuffle2DoubleMasters'', has [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/469652/6/story-shuffle-2-double-masters/vivace "Vivace."]]

** Most of their videos. Just like this.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Bloom}}'' every chapter title is a stage of a plant's life cycle ("Germination") or a term related to agriculture ("Fertile Soil").

** The first anthology, ''Fanfic/StoryShuffle1'', has [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/216813/31/story-shuffle/coda "Coda"]].
** The second anthology, ''Fanfic/StoryShuffle2DoubleMasters'', has [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/469652/6/story-shuffle-2-double-masters/vivace "Vivace"]].

* The first trilogy of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' movies made for the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse have had the word "Home" in them; ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' and ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''. This extends to the fake titles Tom Holland, Jacob Batalon, and Zendaya put on Instagram shortly before ''No Way Home'''s name reveal, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpwqkqFaiS/ "Phone Home"]], [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpxI_oFrp2/ "Home-Wrecker"]] and [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CLp7M-SL6UQ/ "Home Slice"]], as well as an entire whiteboard of fake titles surrounding the real one on [[https://twitter.com/SpiderManMovie/status/1364631273226919937 the official reveal]].

* ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' titles originally started out as a reasonable description of the events in the story. However, they have since evolved into an alternative to AltText, usually with bizarre capitalisation rules and sometimes with nothing to do with the story. For example, one comic (which was about "WHAT YOUNG T-REX THINKS ADULT LIFE WILL BE LIKE" and "WHAT TEEN T-REX THINKS ADULT LIFE WILL BE LIKE") was "[[http://qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1157 when i was a kid i solemnly vowed that, when i was an adult, i would make a batch of chocolate chip cookies and eat all the dough, because my mom wouldn't let me eat raw cookie dough. it is a vow i have yet to satisfy and which haunts me still]]" and another (in which T-Rex tells the other dinosaurs about a man who was freestyle rapping outside his window the night before) is "[[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=001143 last night i was at a friend's house and mimed a helicopter, which caused me to break a glass and spill beer everywhere. i was like, man, why did have to mime a helicopter? i felt terrible and it wasn't even a very good helicopter impression]]". The titles are only visible from the [[http://www.qwantz.com/archive.php archives]] and RSS feed anyway, making them little more than a 4th punchline to the comic (after the alt tag and email comment {{Easter Egg}}s).
* Each page of ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'' is named with a relevant catch-phrase or pop-culture reference, or (more frequently) pun based on such. One word of every title is written in all-caps to make them [[MundaneMadeAwesome more dramatic]]. For example: [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonderella/series.php?view=archive&chapter=14478 "SIN Derella"]], [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonderella/series.php?view=archive&chapter=25918 "A Christmas PERIL"]], and [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonderella/series.php?view=archive&chapter=24892 "MELANIN COLLEAGUE and the Infinite Sadness"]].

* Each chapter of ''WebComic/{{Heartcore}}'' is named after a song from video games the author played. They are, in order: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjS5c3TRfco Sinful Rose]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsV9ItRSb-4 Cashmere Cannonball]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXhoD9MUDts Wounded Warsong]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7646BB9B1A Nostalgia in Solitude]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0JvineSb9c Alien Power]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlM2J6x0nrQ Neocity]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPb8ZTfQb14 Dangerous Zone]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4vQnuAz-rc Outride a Crisis]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZMWszd5SRk Force Your Way]].

** Starting with Chapter 3, all the chapter titles are water-themed, in keeping with Undine's MakingASplash powers and ascension to protagonist. Chapter three is [[http://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-3-page-04 "Sinking"]], five is [[http://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-5-page-1 "Drifting"]], six is [[http://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-6-page-03 "Refraction"]] (of light, by water).
** Chapter 10 breaks the pattern with a heart themed title, "Diastole", after the part of the process of a heartbeat when the heart expands. The cover page also displays ''only'' Heartful Punch, with Undine nowhere to be seen.

* English episode titles in [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} Stars*collection!]] end with "for Dummies" until episode 10, and "for Rookies" from episode 11.

** The third volume is named after Music/TheCure's "Inbetween Days" and contains chapters titled after "Dead Man's Party" by Music/OingoBoingo, [[OddNameOut the band The Blue Belles]], The Cure's "Lovecats", and "Nobody's Fool" by Cinderella, which itself is made up of two parts, "Everything's Gone Green" by Music/NewOrder and "Everybody Plays the Fool" by The Main Ingredient.

* In ''Fanfic/VariousVytalVentures'', chapter titles are two four letter words, usually a short common phrase, that indicates the chapter's content, like 'Body and Soul', 'Rock and Roll', or 'Wine and Dine'. WordOfGod is that the final chapters are intended to be 'Rise and Fall' and then ‘Dusk and Dawn’, set long after the end of the RWBY main series.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Bloom}}'' every chapter title is a stage of a plants life cycle ("Germination") or a term related to agriculture ("Fertile Soil").

* ''Fanfic/PokemonMaster'': "Returns". "Reunions". "Remembrances". "Rebellion". And so on. Every chapter's title is one word which begins with "Re".
* ''Fanfic/PromisesOfAWanderingHero'': All the chapters are titled after the arc they take place in followed by the corresponding roman numeral e.g. ''Rusty Heart I''.

* ''Fanfic/YuyaVision'' has each of the chapters called "Episode" (since it's based off of ''Series/WandaVision'' that was inspired by sitcomes) with each title named after a line from one of the songs of ''35MM: A Musical Exhibition''
