Poetry fic! Which I will hopefully finish someday!
And oh god do I ever feel your pain on the whole having to drop a fic thing, and also the plot (or lack thereof) thing. I keep trying to force one particular fic to work and failing, while this other thing has turned into a sprawling monster that won't stop devouring time-lines and generally embarrassing me.
Yep, I'm totally in the same place. Well, I think I've officially given up on the one I had to drop (it works okay in and of itself--it's Michael's POV of an elided bit of an earlier fic--but it just doesn't fit with that earlier fic, and I don't think anything ever will), but yes.
"Devouring timelines" sounds...ominous...
Yay Millay and Boland! I'm so glad you liked them. And I'm also impressed that your anthology has a lot of Millay in it; I found that she usually gets skipped over in favor of other poets doing more experimental stuff, and that makes me sad.
