Very vaguely :)

 

Do you make an outline of the whole fic and stick to it like crazy glue?  Do you

Not once have I stuck to any outlines :)

I usually have a VERY vague idea of where I'm going,and I just write.

I did have to break down and write a history file for the Dance of Shiva
universe though.  It was just too complex to keep in my head.
