yuuagoThe poem I'm currently working on is proving to be an interesting challenge.
Well, it's not just one, but two, and they're meant to be arranged together.... It's some Nirvana in Fire stuff, an illustration of one moment from Mei Changsu and Fei Liu's perspectives.
Even in poetry, Fei Liu is very difficult to write. He's the sort of person who requires more abstraction than I usually would use.
I might need to get adventurous with the formatting, which means that the editing for Fei Liu's section might need to be done by hand. And I think I might end up having to do the digital version as an image, rather than plaintext, because the placement of the words will be important. Can't use ordinary formatting with this one.
It's a departure from my usual way of doing things, certainly.
If I'll be honest, I really adore him - I don't know if I would like Fei Liu quite so much on his own, but his relationship with Mei Changsu is wonderful, and the way they get along is really endearing. I remember the mention - I think it was Qin Banruo who said it? - that Mei Changsu treats Fei Liu more like a little brother than a bodyguard. That is such a perfect way to put it.
Anyway. While I'm used to writing laconic types, he's different from the usual... So. Challenging. Well, I'll figure it out. It'll be fine.
Meanwhile, Mei Changsu's section of the poem is kind of making me want to tear my hair out, but that's because I decided to get very specific with the format in his part of it. Ah, well.
