MV 25 Started

I wrote a chunk of chapter 25 of Moxibustion Violation today. Not a huge amount, but at least it's something. The words were flowing pretty smoothly for a while, until a necessary chore interrupted.

I know the slow progress must be frustrating for everyone. It's certainly pretty frustrating for me. I can't seem to find any spare time for writing except on the weekends. Then when the weekend rolls around, I tell myself I'm definitely going to get some writing done, but the old fire is usually lacking and I find myself frittering my time away on other things instead. There are times I'd like to chuck this shit I'm taking in the trash, if it weren't for the certain knowledge that the result would only be worse.

Enough of that. I don't want to write a lot of angsty, whiny crap about how awful my life is. Because it isn't, not really, and I know that. Hell, compared to a lot of people I've got a damned good life.

I'm enjoying reading T.H.Tiger's story Games. It's a nice little bit of Ranma porn which allows Ranma to enjoy things in both male and female forms. Of course, I'd like it better if Akane wasn't a dyke, but I understand that's part of the original set up and I can live with it.

I wish more people could write good InuYasha porn which involved him, Kagome and their gang. But so much of it is either poorly written, or pairs Kagome with Sesshomaru, which is a pairing that I just can't see. Mind you, I don't insist on I/K for porn. Let Miroku bang Kagome, InuYasha give it to Sango, Shippo put a spell on them all. Hell, even bring Kouga into it, if done right. But S/K is just too weird. In any case, I don't look too often, because the mountains of crap are just too high to wade through.

That's one advantage to Ranma fiction. There may not be as much of it as InuYasha, but it seems like a higher percentage of the stories are at least decent reads.

MV 25 Plotted

I finally plotted out chapter 25 of Moxibustion Violation tonight. It looks like it might not be quite as much of a filler chapter as I was thinking, i.e., if I get everything I plan into it there will be definite plot advancement. On the other hand, there may not be a lot of sex. Don't get scared, though - there will definitely be sex.

I had an idea for a one-shot that I might see about writing someday soon, involving the Tendo and Saotome parents. Actually, I've had several ideas for other stories I hope to write someday. The difference in this case it that I might write the story before finishing MV. We'll see.

Thoughts on MV 25

Warning: the below might be considered to contain some mild spoilers. Although I don't really give anything away.

I haven't started writing the new chapter yet. In fact, I had to spend all day today (Saturday) putting in overtime at the office. But I have been doing some thinking about the upcoming chapter.

I think this one is going to be mostly filler, where I show the new status quo has been established. Ryoga will continue to exert his control. The other guys will endeavor to make sure that Akane and Ranma know that they're still going to be making intensive use of the pair. There probably won't be anything special with Gosunkugi in this chapter. The main development will be primarily nonsexual, as Ranma and Akane begin the martial arts training of Hiroshi and Daisuke. But maybe I'll tie that into some sex.

I don't expect Ukyo to show up yet in this next chapter. She's on her way back to Nerima, but I'll want to devote significant attention to her return, not just toss it in with all of that other stuff. For that matter, it might be worthwhile to do another scene with Akane and Ranma in Ukyo's apartment, to further establish that they have been using it as a retreat / playroom in her absence.

Longer term, there will be some additional surprises before the next school term starts. I'll have to do something with the New Year. The start of the school term should be interesting. Akane's next monthly doctor's visit isn't scheduled to take place until after school starts up again.
