Can "other story" work without a definite article (for a title)?

Question

As far as I know, “Other story” is an expression often used in conjunction with the definite article "the," as in "the other story goes" or "the other story says". In some cases I've seen it used without "the", as in "it's a whole other story," but can it be used in a title without "the" before it, or as the name of a collective like "other story collective"?

A title can be or include anything you like. I don't think this would be understood as you hope without the the you mention.

From  "it's a whole other story," we can see that it's a other story, meaning another story altogether. Here the article is so expected it has become part of the [new] word, an other.
