Question To The (Fanfic) - Writers...  
I've got this plotbunny in my head that I'm really tempted to write - only so far the outline of the plot is more than a little rough, and I haven't yet decided on one or two major things. So here's a question I have for you:

When do you start writing? Do you just - have a basic idea and let it flow and surprise you where it leads you? Or do you plan out most of it before you even write down a single word? Do you plan out chapters before you begin a fic? How much detail do you know before you start writing?

I like to plan out most of the plot before I start writing to make sure there aren't any major plotholes. Also if I just start to write I tend to get lost in the middle of the story and don't know where to take it. But now I'm really tempted, as I said...

How about you?

Want to arrange a time to meet on MSN then, maybe?
