Dude, that's not a poem, that's the fucking Odyssey! :-P All I can say is that I'm impressed!
If we're talking about different archivists/translators, there must be a pretty big Chinese slash fanbase - I saw one of their archives and was quite floored. And the really neat thing is that I used the Yahoo translate page function (comes out like gibberish, but you can still glean a bit of what is going on), and over there they actually have intellectual discussions about the meaning of fics! I was watching them debate one of mine and laughing in shock the whole time :-P Very impressive culture.
To explain what I meant about fic length, I'm just in awe of people who can really tell a story and flesh it out properly. It seems like my fics keep getting shorter and shorter for whatever reason, so folks who can really develop a story have all my admiration :)
Good luck with your fic - I've got three myself right now and have for ages, lol. Do have one at the beta's though, so at least that's something.
