Mini-rec
after so many things by velvetine01. Ten Pablo-Neruda-inspired SPN drabbles, some Sam/Dean.
I usually don't like drabbles much--often they just seem like an unfinished thought, a longer fic abbreviated, rather than taking advantage of the short form--but I loved these. Intense and carefully written. #1 is heartbreaking. #3 is hot as all get-out. #8 made me grin like a madwoman. I love the variety of POVs.
Hmmm, now I'm thinking about drabbles. And how experience with longer prose fiction might not serve a writer well with them, but poetry would be more useful, with that laser focus on each word and a tiny slice of story.
Now I want to write drabbles.
But first I have to finish snuggling!fic for girlmostlikely.
