I've been thinking about my plans for my fanfic works-in-progress, and it led me
to ponder a simple but valid question: How do you plan out a good fanfic?

Do you make an outline of the whole fic and stick to it like crazy glue?  Do you
just come up with an enemy that the characters from the anime have to face and
work out the plot as you go?  How do *you* decide how the plot unravels in your
storylines.

The reason I'm interested is because once I finish chapter 3 of CCWD and
re-write ADD I'm moving on to part two of CCWD for which I have a lot of
'events' planned but I'm not sure how everything is going to be worked out. 
Should I sit down before I even start and make an outline or have you all found
that letting a story 'write itself' is better?

For the record, CCWD is (currently) very much writing itself.  I'm finding that
sitting down with a basic idea and a few characters works nicely for short
chapters but will it still work when I start working on longer plot lines?
