I'm writing a fic right now (with PLOT and STUFF and Danny gets arrested and I get to enjoy torturing him for a couple thousand words), and the closest I have to an outline is a couple of IMs that I've exchanged with my friend, asking random questions like "Should Danny have sex with this person?" and "Does so-and-so speak Italian?". I'm very go-with-the-flow, and hope that I don't end up with giant plot holes.

A note re: that gen fic? I promise people fics all the time. I promised buffy_lily a fic for her birthday way back in September. She didn't get it until January. So you'll get it, eventually. :D
