So, it's been seven months since I last posted in this blog, aside from replies to comments. How time flies.
Several people have written to me to warn me about Origami's story Moxibustion Revenge, starting with Origami himself. I haven't read it. I don't intend to read it. Clearly any other person's ideas will deviate from my own plans for the story, even if it wasn't obvious from his summary, and all questions of merit (or lack thereof) aside I wouldn't want the presence of his plot within my brain acting in the nature of static when thinking over my own plans.
Yes, I still have plans for MV. No, I don't know when I'll get back to writing it. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that my heart and other major organs will keep functioning until I do.
On the question of whether I object to someone writing a story based on mine, the answer is no. (Though naturally I'd prefer that anything of the sort be well written — about which I can't comment for M. Revenge since I haven't read it.) Frankly, I feel that any such objection on my part would be utter hypocrisy. After all, I've borrowed another author's characters, settings, etc. to write my story. Who am I to say that someone can't do the same with what I've written?
I will say that if I ever complete MV according to my plans, then Ranma and Akane will escape from the clutches of their abusers, and several deserving people will get their just desserts. But, again according to the outline I was following, a number of other things were going to happen between now and then.
