For discussion (topic courtesy ficwriter1966!): Let's talk about writing for someone else. That could be fic exchanges, comment fic, birthday (or other gift) fic, etc. How does writing for a specific recipient change the process of fic for you? Do you worry a lot about whether they'll like it? How closely do you stick to the prompts? Do you do a lot of snooping to try & pin down the recipient's tastes? (Probably some of this will change depending on what kind of fic we're talking about: fic exchanges are different from comment fic -- especially an anon meme -- etc.)

The planning stuff is so important, though, so go you! I feel like doing that in 750 Words helps me a lot sometimes -- I don't tend to write out plans or outlines v. much (partly b/c I'm a shortfic writer), so giving myself permission to just blather on about it can result in some good solutions popping out of my brain!
