i am writing a super secret gift for a friend so i don't want to spoil too much! but i never really outline. my process is somewhat chaotic lol. i usually start a fic at the beginning and write until i get stuck, and then i write the end. and then i fill in the middle as i get inspired and as i get ideas. i'm kind of a pantser in terms of writing style! but since i never plan anything i usually have to edit a lot because the beginning of the fic sometimes will have a totally different tone or theme than the ending lol
