MAN, writing action scenes sure is hard. Getting the choreography down in a way that doesn't read in a stiff and bland way is quite a challenge.

I'm going to be so glad to be done drafting this fic. (I think I only have a few scenes left...!)

They are the W O R S T, and I speak from long, long experience of wrangling them. ;________; Why do I keep ending up writing for action canons - why... FULL SYMPATHIES, I hope you can kick the draft into shape soon!

Props to you for trying! Props to you for writing action canons on a regular basis, mate. :V <3

Just pretend it's a sex scene XD

(I am being somewhat jocular because a standard piece of advice for people who are unsure of how to write sex scenes is "write it like an action scene". But actually I think it's reasonable advice, in both cases you want to make sure that you're keeping track of and conveying which body parts are going where in what sequence, but perhaps the more interesting things to focus on are physical sensations, emotions, and character interactions.)

Yes yes, however, a big difference is that there's a whole lot you can be vague about in a sex scene while still making sense! (And often I can even skip the whole scene if I decide that I actually don't wanna write it! ;p )

It's a mission keeping track of all the hands!

Hands! And feet! And who's smacking who/what! Damn.
