I have a story to rec! For the Rec and Review card, O43: Has One Chapter.

I really liked this story. It's beautiful, and very sweet. I love how determined and protective Nienor is, and how not everything is perfect or healed right away, but they have the fragile beginnings of hope.

I'm not playing the rec card, but this is a fic I adore to pieces, and I'm so happy to see it get some love! :D

Also, I see what you did there with the prompt for sapphic Sapphics, and I am amused. :)

I couldn't help it, heh - really, coming across it when researching poetic forms that could go on the card that pretty much made it inevitable. :D And I'm so impressed that you managed to match so many prompts to the Sapphic stanza one - I spent the better part of yesterday working on mine, and found it very very tricky even without more constraints. Yours is such a beautiful - and sad - result, though!

[zdenka]

It's very appropriate! :D And I approve of honoring Sappho in any case.

Thank you very much! I think it helps that I studied Latin and Greek in college, so I kind of have those poetic forms in my ear. And you can't see from the end result how many lines I scribbled and crossed out in my notebook. :)

[ladyelleth.livejournal.com]

Honouring Sappho is definitely a good thing! :D

Oooh, and that makes a lot of sense! I learned Latin back in High School, but we never covered poetic forms very much, so this was a new one for me. Useful to have the forms at the ready, though - doesn't mean it won't go with lots of scribbling and crossing out, though! Heh. There definitely was a lot of grumbly backspacing in my document as well! ;)
