Just found out that someone else has been writing a continuation of Moxibustion Violation starting this past August. For the record, I have no objection to people doing this sort of thing. I look upon it as fan-fiction based on my fan-fiction, and since mine is fan-fiction, I really don't have any place to complain. (So long as direct plagiarism is avoided, of course.)
However, I do like to know if someone is writing something of the sort. If you choose to do so, please notify me. You can leave a comment on my original story, on the blog here, or look up my email on my blog profile and just drop me a note.
In case you're interested, the story is Moxibustion Violation: Down the Rabbit Hole by RedKami on ArchiveOfOurOwn, which is supposedly supposed to be part of a larger series called "Wonderland Princess."
Please note, I haven't read this myself, and don't intend to do so. (A matter of personal policy when my story is unfinished.) So as far as I know, it could be great or atrocious, though more likely somewhere in between like most fan-fiction.

Revenge
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.
