I like stories or anything how you can still feel some sympathy for the "evil" character, that he's still just human too and not some cold-hearted guy. I'd like to check them out... once I find the time. XD;;
And I think, also, that when they're in your mind, there are certain implicit assumptions you make so that you don't need to really explain anything to yourself, but once you write it out for an audience, then you need to explain things to them because they don't know what you know.
That is exactly it. They don't feel what I feel. Certain things might pain me deeply or make me really happy, but it's not the same level for everyone else. Writing a fic trying to get that across is very difficult sometimes. Sometimes you wonder if you did a good enough job.
I find that as I write, sometimes I think of another direction for the fic to go, a better one sometimes. I hate to abandon the other scenes that I had planned for later on, which is why I always have notes so even if I can't use them in that fic, I can with another. Combining two smaller fics into a larger one is very satisfying, especially when everything just seem to fall into place.
*hugs lots* I would plan as far as the next scene. Then I'd sit on the fic for days/weeks/months until another inspiration hits with the next scene. If I have too many scenes planned out, I become lazy because it seems like a lot of work. *IS SO BAD*
