"Yes, chapter titles make me stop and think about a man shoving his dick up another man's ass. You obviously have such a wonderful, mature grasp on the English language that you really should sit around and spend time contemplating important things like whether or not to title your, I'm assuming, brilliant chapters. Wouldn't want your work to come off as "babyish," would you?" (s)he said with only the faintest trace of pompousness.

I love chapter titles, although I don't use them, I also like it when authors break their books into acts, and name them.

Usually I name them into acts too. I don't write "act," though. I just write in roman numerals and put the name after it. Like this:

I


REVENGE


Then I usually have a line or two there, maybe even a quote.

Yeah I like that layout, also makes it easier to advance the plot of a given story.
