Every now and then I see a chapter title pop up that makes me feel like I've got to click it, just because it's so wacky, unusual, sexy sounding, or just serves as a good hook that makes me wanna click it, even if I don't know the rest of the story context yet. Would anyone like to share one, from your story or someone else's?

Feel free to include the question too, if it's better in context. :)

Despite posting this, I don't have an example right at the moment... I'll post one once I can think back to one!
 
Not my Favorite, but definitely my most effective chapter title has been "Jump to a Sex Scene! (Major Spoilers!)" to judge at least by how fast it's shot up in my view count. Nobody likes it... but everybody is reading it apparently.

However, I admit I have a tendency to click on titles with my fetish in them. I'm pretty obvious about what that is, but for further elucidation, see my published works. :P Essentially the ones that suggest that there's going to be some consequences to the sex that will be acknowledged later on... those always make me kinda interested. Plus any time puts in a Mel Brooks Reference. Fast way to get a like from me. Just in case anybody wants a fast like... :P

 
I often struggle with chapter titles, to the point where I sometimes have trouble writing the chapter if I can't think of the title. Or, if I'm done the chapter with a placeholder title I sit there for a long time trying to think of something descriptive and appropriate. I'm not writing poetry with my titles either, I just like them to be somewhat interesting, not spoilery (except in certain situations) and accurate but hopefully with a tiny bit of extra meaning that only becomes apparent when you're done reading the chapter. Or I just have a chapter where the MC is eating out his girlfriend in her living room after work and his gf's youngers sisters accidentally walk in on them and I name the *next* chapter Cunnilingus Interruptus.

So for me my favourite title was "The title field is required X", which I used on a meta-chapter describing a jumble of computer blather hinting at some glitchy program called The Affection Multiplier. I had the chapter done and really liked it, and included some diagrams and confused text as a weird "interlude" during the normal story. I figured one or two readers who also write on CHYOA might recognize the phrase, as it popped up when I tried to submit the chapter without a title for the nth time. Felt extra appropriate, even if I assume very few people would have known where it came from.
