My title would be Imperator, but I would be addressed as “Your Eminence”. ---

I always thought “Imperator” had a nice ring to it. ---

Supreme Goddess and Librarian of the Universe. I was going to allow my subjects to use SGLU for short, but that’s to easily typoed to SLUG - although none of my subjects would ever consider doing such a thing. ---

My first thought was “Overlord.” But I think that might create some dissention in the ranks. Of course those dissenting will be boiled in oil, so maybe the title fits. ---

Naw, you all are approaching this wrong. I’d really mess with the heads of the serfs (i.e., the rest of the population of earth). I’d be known as “That Asshole”. You would address me as “Hey, Asshole”. If you didn’t address me with enough disdain in your voice, I would have you tortured. If you actually tried to address me in a polite fashion, the penalty would be death. If my vast network of secret spies ever heard you referring to me other than “that asshole” or a similar derogatory term, the penalty would be death. Yes, that will do nicely. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haa!! ---
