Hmm . . . I like your writing very much. I just reread some to try to pick out why I like it but it’s impossible. Prophecy was just so amazing. I love your ideas! There are several hints in Prophecy about the earth you created with the Colonials that still intrigue me.
As for your writing lacking poetry, I don’t think so. I think I know what you mean. I was reading some fiction the other day and some writers have this flair for turning a phrase, it’s amazing. Your poetry is in the feelings you evoke with your words. Feelings in Prophecy of newness, love, and something vaguely shocking, yet okay about Kara and Leoben. The feelings of safety and relief and comradeship in the ficlet you wrote for me. It’s hard to explain but the emotions sort of waft up through the words and sift into one’s brain. At least for me. It’s both subtle and skillful.
Dude, you could write in the Prophecy world any day of the week and I’d be glued to every word. Just admiring the forsythias. ;)
