Re: Do people have a story outline before the start writing/posting?

I used to pants-write with only a vague idea of where it was going, but eventually it led to too many unfinished stories (like half of anything I'd write) because it didn't suit my style.

These days I plan, either to myself, or if a fic is being particularly uncooperative, I write out a sequence of events in the scrawliest, crackiest OOC-est terms in a badly grammaticalised paragraph with run on sentences and no full stops. It gets it out of my system and gives me a scene-by-scene breakdown of what I want to actually happen, then I can just fill in the blanks.

Then occasionally you get those magical prompts that write themselves and they are just beautiful. I expect they are also literally magic too considering how easy some of them are, so... kudos to the prompting mages of the kinkmeme I guess. That's a large part of the reason I hang out here.
