oh great vividcomet, who is so wise in the ways of fanfiction, how do you plan out your writings?
i'm very curious about the stuff that goes into writing behind the scenes
hello!!!!! it's. honestly really funny that you've asked this, because the genuine answer is that I really don't plan out my writings?
most often, I'll come up with an idea for a premise and I'll be like, okay, where would that premise LOGICALLY start out? what would *I* want to see in this premise before things kick into gear?
and then as I keep writing and realize that things are getting more complicated than I ever intended, I make a list of goals!!! just simple ones, like "character X and character Y continue to deteriorate" or "character Z sets an emergency plan in motion"
and when things get REALLY complicated (which is usually halfway into my longer fics), THATS when I map out an actual plot and decide what I want to happen lol. the rest of it, though? I'm mostly winging it. it's genuinely kind of just "if ____ happened, that would be a lot of fun!"
sorry to disappoint, if you were hoping for an elaborate process!!!! (/lh /j) thank you for the ask!!!
