I do both. Mostly I just scribblescribblescribble some notes when a plot pops into my head unexpectantly, but lately I've been just sitting here writing out a whole fic at a time. Whihc, funnily enough, is how some of my better fics are born. I was a sucker for planning when I was younger. Because yes, the teachers used to always tell us to plan our characters, setting, plot etc. I used to rule it up and everything. Then I realised it takes the fun out of writing when you do that, so I jot down whatever notes I need to be able to come back later and write without forgetting.
Of course.
Hee! Thanks! I will send them to you now *nods*. I wrote another fic for a prompt last night, but I need to go back and add some things, because it isn't flowing right at the moment. I think I just wanted to get it out of the way, you know? Which is sad.
