Faust in my life
My beloved o-fic returned from a beta read battered. *sniff*
But one comment made me smile:
This direct reference to Faust is perfect, but grammatically you cannot use this expression in Czech even though it's verbatim.
Eh?
1. I have never read Faust and only have a vague knowledge of the kind of powerplay Mephistopheles orchestrates.
2. Do I write like Goethe? Wow!
3. To Hell with grammar. I'm going to keep my Faustian reference in no matter what and bend the story to make it evident that it is (now) deliberate.
