Whenever I read anything - fanfic, profic, doesn't matter - I quickly form fairly concrete ideas of how everything is laid out, from individual rooms, to buildings, to cities, to entire landscapes. I really can't picture any of the action if I don't.

I then get very frustrated when anything in the story contradicts my mental image. ("Wait, how could she... oh, you mean the door was on the other wall?") It takes a long time for me to adjust my mental image. Sometimes I can't and just keep using my inaccurate version and ignoring the bits that conflict with it.

I wish authors were required to include maps and floorplans at the beginning of every story.

I draw up floorplans when I write. I also spend a lot of time figuring out character's commutes. It's fun!

This happens to me too! Same with body positions (wait, wasn't he hanging from his left arm?).

I try to make sure I don't break continuity with these sorts of things when I write.

Same.

And this actually goes for character appearances too. In one particular series the main characters weren't described early on so my mind went ahead and imagined them. Later on when the main character's blond hair and blue eyes were a regularly mentioned thing, I kept ignoring it in favour of my original mental image.;;

Ahah we are such obsessive geeks in this community.
