I'm planning on writing a short fic about taking an elf into a modern day college situation (the elf will most likely be Erestor) and I am stuck for a title.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

First idea that comes to mind is don't worry about the title - write the story.
Not to be snippy, but I rarely have a title before I'm well into the fic.

Usually I don't get my proper title till I'm quite far into my plotting stage, so I just pick anything, no matter how lame, to designate the story in my notes until I get something decent. And when the good title comes, it usually springs out on its own.
One thing I have been known to try though, if I am really stuck, is quotations from the text. So maybe something from LOTR that could be taken a different way in your story's situation? The poems are actually a good place to start, or even dialogue from the film.
Like I said, so long as you have something to work with, you can always change it later on
