How I plan stories vs. how they turn out (aka sometimes it just writes itself)
AWW concept/planning: Hey let's write something about England teaching History of Magic and throw in some mutual pining USUK/UKUS and some Torchwood and Dr. Who references and GerIta mpreg and Harry/Luna being cute and Blaise and Draco are besties and Prucan cuteness plus teen voldie had a crush on Matt and Peter's adorable and Greece has lots of cats and cuddles with Japan and how about a badass battle at the end where all the nations fight Voldemort's army? Oh and it will be like 30-ish chapters
What actually happened: England is like 10x more angsty and has Issues(TM), Luna is less present than I would like, Harry is getting some sort of therapy through Peter, Peter has Issues, probably nobody will get any foreshadowing bc there's so much filler, somehow Romania and Bulgaria and Scotland showed up, the fairies are much less prevalent than planned, voldie's secret Plot (that is the actual plot and based on actual real world 1997 events) will culminate in at least one person the readers like actually dying, and we are 33 chapters in and probably half done lol
Schismatic concept/planning: Ooh let's write something short where some creepy guy knows Conan is Shinichi and is obsessed with him and let's throw some KaiShinHei in there and some AkaSagu and make it super dark and shit!
What actually happened: Shinichi and Conan have Issues(TM) and Heiji is a worried boyfriend while Kaito ships them and is despairing over Saguru and Akako's straightness and Kazuha and Ran are trying to help and the Black Org is wayyyy more involved than you think they are
Shadow Bride concept/planning: Hey let's fill this Kink Meme prompt with Pitch wanting to make babies with fem!Jack, it'll be short and a good way to practice writing smut
What actually happened: lots of research into the weather patterns of the 17-1800s and Seraphina/Tooth somehow happened how the fuck am I supposed to fit in smut with this Plot(TM)
