I wonder if I should write some stories and put them up here

I already write stuff in my own free time, but it's too personal. I'd also like to put stuff up here to...hm...make it more meaningful perhaps? And to exercise my brain and let people know my ideas on writing? I'd be really pleased if someone saw this journal and found the contents interesting or even inspirational. I would like to read nice stories (original or fanfiction-al, both are good) on the internet, it's free human contact.

I have a special interest in history and art/ists, but I don't know very much about it while I'm a freak for historical accuracy (like the details, the nitty-gritty of daily life, how they spoke, the documents and rituals) . So I can't write historical/art fiction. At least not per se. I'm supposing that I shall write poetry or stories in verse; besides, I like experimenting with form and I feel that poetry is very intense and the verse-prose form is sorely under/wrongly-utilized.

So...I'll close my eyes and think awhile...

I would not write a piece just for the sake of throwing in, say, Philippe Hurepel* (bet you don't know who that is). I like to believe that there is a philosophy behind the study of history and that it's not just random bits of outdated gossip.

*The son of Philip Augustus/Philip II of France.

An example of what I'm thinking about (except just more substantial):

Farnese.
Who wore himself to nothing.

Night.
Walked to his room.
Hung up his coat.
The water rose in him.
Out of his eyes.

That's all for now, I'll get back to it later.
