So I'm working on the next MHO chapter and decided there's a good spot for a NSFW scene coming up. After all, it's been a while since these two dorks have had a chance to relieve... certain urges. But I want to make a couple notes about it as I mull it over.
First off, from now on I'm going to keep explicit, smutty scenes as separate "deleted scenes" type chapters to post separately from the main ones. This will help folks that want to skip such scenes do so, as well as make it easier to post to places with tighter guidelines regarding such things. I'd like to share MHO wherever I think I might find an audience for it, but some sites don't allow straight up erotica, and I don't want to paint MHO as a whole with that brush, obviously. I tend to avoid those sites, but like I said, I want to give my passion project as much chance to be seen and read as I can.
And yes, on that note, I AM still planning that little maybe/maybe-not canon scene with Kuna and Hoku. Just haven't been in the mood to write explicit things for a while until recently. Either way, it'll be posted separately, and I still haven't decided for sure if it'll be canon or not.
Thing is... I kind of need to make up my mind about it, because it'll obviously come up in the story again at some point if it is. Like, right around where I'm at now, in fact. See, I'm still trying to decide if I should have Lykou and Kuna try out a little "friends with benefits" thing before they actually end up together, as kind of a way of them trying to feel things out first because they're still nervous about sharing their true feelings with each other. Definitely leaning strongly towards it, but I'll have to be careful how I handle it. Again though, assuming I do that, the subject of Kuna's first time will definitely come up. In fact, it could very well springboard into the discussion about he and Lykou doing that.
So yeah. As always, feedback is greatly appreciated!

At present, I recommend AO3, SoFurry, or Weasyl, as InkBunny and FurryNetwork eat the formatting. (Some bits are in italics, etc.) And FN keeps the chapters in a disorganized mess for some reason I cannot fathom.
If you do read it, please be sure to leave a comment and tell me your thoughts!
