Status of the 4th story/ Some thanks/Something I need to say

Please be sure to read everything, every detail is important:
"Status of the 4th Story"
I already told you guys this in the previous journal about the pre-determined 4th story, but I have made some decisions. Here we go!
The story will focus mainly on a male Krookodile and a GROUP of Salandits (genders vary) that are rivals in their craft. The specifics of the story have not been finalized, nor have I made a plot line yet. What I do know is that both pokemon will be thieves of some sort (what do they steal or how? IDK, I will figure that out later while I am thinking of the plot). The setting will most likely be in or near a desert like town, meaning that I probably will not model this after any region in the main pokemon games. In fact, a possible idea that has been going through my mind is having the town comprise of only pokemon, in the vain of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Could this mean that I could use the town from SMD? Possible, up in the air on that right now. Like I said, I need to think a bit more before I set anything to stone, these are all just neat ideas.
NOW, why I made this journal. You guys now know at least a basis of what I want to write about and I would like to title this bad boy. The way this will work is through a simple lettering system. I will give two titles that I think could work for this story: Title "A", and Title "B". In the comment section below, YOU guys will decide which title you want by simply typing the either letter "A" or "B". The other thing you can do is suggest your own title! simply put the next letter in the alphabet down in your comment followed by your title. People can then vote for that title by putting your letter in their comment.
Just two simple rules:
1: Please do not suggest a title that makes no sense.
2: please be nice to people if you do not like their idea
Here are my suggestions:
A: A Crook in a Bandit's den
B: A Thief among Thieves
Also please if you haven't yet, check out my free raffle found here:

Edit: A lot of progress has been made in the story the day after this journal was made, so I decided to do something special :) read about it here:

"Some thanks"
And concerning the bonus that you receive upon creating a journal, thank you to those who have spread the word, it helps me tremendously. I will be creating a list of numbers that each approved user has the day before the RNG is run and it will show who has what numbers. The next day, the winning numbers will be revealed along with the user and their pairing.
I also would like to know if there is a way other than shouts or notes that I can use to get information like this to the people who are interested in this raffle but do not watch my channel. I don't want to be like, "just watch my channel to get all the information about whenever I do something like this." because that to me sounds kind of rude, but I still want them to get every bit of information so that everyone knows the same thing as everyone else without having someone say, "when was this?". I want people to watch me because they like my stories, not just for information about a free raffle or something like this. (And THANK YOU to those that do watch me for my stories.)
"Something I need to say"
Which brings me to my final point. I sent out my first messages about the raffle journal to
LeSkarmory, 
Argonvile, and 
Asbel_Lhant because they are all nice, great people who (I think) would be interested in the raffle, and because they entertained me through conversation, artwork, and streams I wanted to give something back to them by letting them be the first ones to know about this raffle. I will still send out more notices to other Users that have entertained me over the entire time I have been on this website. some names that come to mind are 
BAGINAZARD, and 
insomniacovrlrd, but I want to make something clear. These people have a great talent and therefor have a HUGE following of people. I am NOT informing them about this raffle because I want some of their watchers, they worked hard for that, I need to work for mine. I just want to give them a chance to win in this raffle. If these people listed above decide to spread the information about the raffle (which is honestly a scary thought, I mean look at some of their "is being watched by" lists, I would drown in suggestions, and honestly would probably raise the number of winners to 4 due to the amount of people that would probably suggest an idea.) I would hope it is because they think I am good at what I do here and that they want to share me with their people, and just one story may not good enough to prove that. I am not trying to discount those of you who have spread the word, thank you for the help, and I hope that no negative feelings are made by me saying this. I actually feel guilty about sending the first three notices as shouts instead of notes, because that forces myself and my raffle on their page without their consent. So please, do not think I am doing this just for publicity. Even though that is a big part of this entire project, I want to entertain people, give back to those who have entertained me, and most importantly become a better writer. So lastly, if you do like what I do here, again spread the word if you feel I deserve it, you do not have to if you do not want to (good example is argon, he left a suggestion and that was it: quagsire x croagunk. Thank you for the suggestion). This subject is hard to talk about without sounding like a jerk or a hypocrite, so I am sorry if I do sound like one.
Thank you to those who are watching, who read my story, who gave a suggestion, who will give a title. Thank you all for everything.

Now: If I had to chose a favorite title, I would choose B, but my vote doesn't count :P. I want you to decide ;)
As for the title...A
I kinda like it a bit more.
If anyone blames you for doing your thing to get a handful of followers, then they're just jelly or idiots~ Specially if you're going to do free stuff, whether it's art or stories.
I've seen how people seem to need to apologize for everything they do, and I just don't get it myself... Like, in all seriousness, who gives a fuck?
With that said, I'll be the butt that says that the second title is at least used in like, 300 or so other stories, hahaha! If you go for a title, go for something that summarizes the story pretty well, oooor go for the silly/cheesy title, which in my opinion is a much more fun choice
You shouldn't change cause some people says it~
just like me! I do my arts with some people blames me of "Feral birds with balls....Fu" Okey I get a little bad. but I just continue. I don't care for some group of peoples to me that I need to change.
[*Coughs* Sorry Asbel if you get affected~ not my intention, badger]
and maybe a funny tittle could be -Who "steals" a Thief...-
I understand what you mean, and I am not offended by it, and I don't think others are either, so you shouldn't worry about it. I-if they are, then...it's really on them.
You write what you want to write, if people don't like it then that is on them.
I-I suppose I'm not a good advocate for such a thing since I'm so apologetic ...but it is how I feel about it.
And you do what you need to do, no one should be mad or anything about how you choose to spread the word (unless it's like...really really mean) and you didn't do anything bad by it.
From the one story you posted you have really great writing talent I think, and no matter what the theme, as long as you yourself are interested in the writing it will turn out well.
Those are just my thoughts on it all, and again I apologize for not explaining it more in detail earlier.
I do like how original A choice is...although i will go with B choice because it reminds me of Sly Cooper and i love that series.
If i could offer a Title of my own it would be "There is no I in Steal" eluding to a group or more than one person. Meaning that a couple, or couples would meet up and maybe be close or an awesome brotherhood or friendship. Or fun, romantic sexy times~
