According to the Lulu Titlescorer, The Rules for Hearts has a 26.3% chance of being a bestseller. That’s four percent higher than the score for Empress!
Needless to say, this is bullshit. But still! Make up titles and post the results in the comments!

January 13, 2006 at 6:08 amThe All New Thebes Variety Show is 26.3 but if I just call it THEBES it becomes a 72 percent best seller.
I would call it COMMIES FROM MARS but man, that’s already a kick-ass dirty comic
uh :(

January 13, 2006 at 1:04 pmI jump upon the bullshit bandwagon! I’ve got three novels in the beginning stages of being shopped, and now I can tell my prospective agents my chances of “best-seller” status.
C-C-Chigger…45.6%
Banana Sunday…63.7%
Red Zipper Sidekick…63.7%
Yee-hah! I’m quittin’ my day job right now.
