Good to know I wasn't totally off with the Prometheus thing! I figured it had to be intentional. And glad to have made you squee! It does always feel nice when someone gets the reference you're trying to make!

I didn't know that about the animal sacrifices part of the Prometheus myth. I guess I need to brush up on my mythology. I used to be really into that stuff in my early teens.

And re: the concrit thing, I'm still working out when to give it and when not to. Personally, I always welcome it because even if I'm not gonna revise the story anymore, I can still learn and grow as a writer. But I've learned that feelings and motives around the issue vary widely, which is totally legit. And of course, my criticism could also be totally off base, or based on something that's completely personal to me! Which is why when I do mention something critical I usually try to make it clear that this is just how I felt. And I definitely try not to ever leave comments that are purely negative, because that's really not helpful to anyone and is disrespectful of the time, effort, and creativity that the author put into thier work! So yeah, if you couldn't tell, I put a lot of thought into my comments. Definitely too much sometimes! It's my inner writing tutor. I cannot switch it off.

Anyway, thanks again for the beautiful poetry! Hope you will post this to EF and AO3 if you haven't already!

You were the opposite of off. You were totally on. :D

Ah, here it is, the animal sacrifices thing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trick_at_Mecone
It's something I read as a teenager, and I had no idea if it was more obscure than the other Prometheus stuff (or where it originally came from, for that matter). ^^

"So yeah, if you couldn't tell, I put a lot of thought into my comments." Oh, I could. They're amazing!

"Hope you will post this to EF and AO3 if you haven't already!" Thank you! I absolutely will after SS is over.
