i have no excuse for my looooong delayed third chapter. quite frankly, i had an idea but it seemed to peter out and now i'm not sure what to do.
It happens to all of us. (I've been stalled on a sidestory to my fanfic "A Certain Distance" for a while - I know that Urd and Shampoo get to "save the world" from Saffron, since the story diverged from canon before Ranma went to Phoenix Mountain, but I'm having trouble figuring out how...)

the main problem, i think, is that i don't really have my themes in place or what role our hero doug should play.
As I recall, Lina, Gourry, and Doug were just about to enter a major population centre - that's a perfect place for Doug to "play tourist". If you write out a few scenes of where he goes, what he sees, and who he meets, one of them is likely to spark at least a sub-plot that you can resolve while figuring out where the main plot goes next. You can throw away or use the other scenes, as you wish. That should get you past your current writer's block...
