What's your fanfic "niche"?
Purpura Lipstick:
my bad guy in Wulf's Bane, Corin, is the absolute WORST offender of doing what he wants when he wants. ... >:(
Pengi:
damn those rebellious characters!! :banghead:
mare:
I am the same way. I rarely if ever know where my story is really going when I start it. I have a general idea but I kind of let the characters figure it out for themselves lol
RokofAges75:
I usually know the big event at the beginning that gets the story started and then the big climax at the end, but not so much the middle. I used to just go with the flow, but now I'm more of a planner; I kinda outline as I go, so I always have a direction, a point B to get to.
That said, my story Secrets of the Heart that I started a couple years ago and never update, is outlined literally chapter by chapter because I had to piece it all together to make sure it would work, and I never have much inspiration to work on it. My new story, Guilty Roads, was planned up to a point before I started it, and now I'm past that point and don't have anything outlined beyond that. I have a general idea of where it's going, but nothing set in stone, and that one I've been a lot more inspired on. So I think sometimes it is better to just go with it.
Rose:
I used to never plan, like anything. I had an idea and I outlined the characters themselves with bios, but that was it. When 00Carter happened, habits changed by force cause with that many writers, you need a solid outline LMAO. Plus collaborating with Julie brings out your planner side, I swear. So now I outline ideas, in the sense of the idea, the beginning, the big event, and the ending. Things I know have to happen make it into the outline too. But I never do chapter by chapter. When it comes to how it all happens, I let the characters tell me. I see my outlines as "Fate" interfering in their lives. The events will happen either way, but how they make the journey is up to them.
