>> Thank you! I will, especially near birthdays and holidays...<<
Yay! For reference, the 2022 Holiday Poetry Sale racked up over 30 new poems sponsored.
>>Don't worry! The only thing that bugs me in fanfiction is when the Italian is wrong (like when Tony talks to Peter in those IronDad/SpiderSon stories... ¾ of it is wrong in some way or another!), but I know how meticolous you are with your research!<<
Most of the actual Italian comes from sayings or occasionally slang. But if I need to build actual dialog, I have to rely on free translation services. I triangulate with those and hope I get something that is legible.
One time, I had a fan translate to Classic Attic Greek from the modern Greek I'd gotten from Google, as appropriate to the poem. I love my audience. :D
>>I love worldbuilding in general, and yours in particular. This poem seems very interesting, thank you! <<
See "Build with the Mind" and its copious notes. Prior to that, I had several characters who'd taken classes like this and it was their descriptions, appearing in character sheets, that made me want to flesh it out more. Because I'm a huge worldbuilding fan.
>>Fantasy, worldbuilding and rhymes? Seems right up my alley!<<
Yay! I've posted some of the worldbuilding notes, not all of them, but you can get an idea of how I put things together.
