Elendra, I'm glad I got to talk to on Skype as I hadn't really interacted with you on the forums. You're awesome and I enjoy your writing very much. Q: Do you have the entire Spamfic planned out or are you winging it as you go?
Thank you!
I have... a general outline planned, mostly to make sure I contradict myself infrequently instead of all the time, and can fix the problems sooner. Like I know who is involved in the BI event, and what their motivations are... but I haven't a clue how I'm going to end it. :D And I know what's going to happen later as well, motivations and big scenes I want to happen.
So really, I have the characters, their motivations, means, relations, and such... and maybe a handful of scenes, and I build the story off that. I don't go "I want X to happen, so why does it happen?" it's "well these guys want to do X, so what happens because of it?"

I miss conversing with you. How are you?
I've been doing alright I suppose. Stressed with coming out, writing, and such, but otherwise okay.
