Aw...thanks for the rec and your kind words! I am now researching scenery and types of trees found around Ravenna, Italy (my knowledge of Italian geography is nearly nonexistent, even though I visited there once in 1976 with my family, during a European bus tour) in preparation for the next episode, which is post-Commedia. This one will have to use the timeline from the work itself, rather than the actual time the work was finished (Dante passed away not terribly long after finishing Paradiso). Anyway, the story's currently incubating; hope it won't take me quite as long to finish as the last one...
