Yeah, considering 20 years on and 600,000 words later, I still find their dynamic interesting, I'm glad I decided to go with that whim. :D (The conversations, too, are me RPing the character with myself as the "director of the action", to be clear. I have never believed they're speaking to me from another plane or anything.)

As for the first part, it's sort of like a butterfly effect. Like, I realize just after writing it that the phrasing of character 1's line might make character 2 wary, so they react differently than character 1 expected, which makes character 1 respond to their reaction rather than continuing along the intended line of conversation. Aaaand then sometimes after doing that for awhile, I scrap it and start over. But sometimes it goes somewhere interesting, and I decide it makes a good addition to the story so I explore that too on my way to the next necessary plot point.

I mean sure, sometimes I'll have some basic notes about things that have to happen for the story to work, but in the interim there's lots of room for improvisation. After all, no word limit on a fanfic! =)

Nope! No word limit and generally no time limit, though we all know that WIPs that stagger on for literal years (*cough* my last J2 fic *cough*) tend to lose some readers if they take too long to resolve.

Oh yeah. Especially with my health, I don't post anything until it's finished and gone over several times to check for continuity and flow and so on. I have a couple WIPs out there I don't know if I'll ever get back to, as much as I was enjoying them, and I feel bad about that but I think after nearly 10 years no one expects anything more (though I have a ton of notes plotted out for how to end the one :/)
