I'm terrible with titles. I'll sit there and IM with somebody until I get something that sounds... passable. I have a few fics on my webpage that I feel I should retitle (Harry Potter Can't Find Snape? Oh dear. This is what I get for titling things whilst babysitting), because they're just so bad.
Untitled puts me off. I know that titles do take a bit of effort, but it just speaks, to me, that somebody was too lazy to bother titling their fic. And I know I'm bad and wrong for thinking this, but it's similar to somebody putting an a/n saying 'oh, this story is so crap, don't read it!' before their fic. I just--don't read it.
That said, I've recently discovered that I often forget to put summaries in front of my fics. I guess it could just be a matter of forgetting.
