For short stuff I'm all pants, but anything past ten thousand words or so is where I start to do very heavy outline. My epic Xena wankfest (started when the show was still airing, unpublished until years later) was a huge outline deal with maps and everything, and that was where I first came up with this chart thingy to keep track of which characters were present in each scene and where they physically were in the fictional universe. By the time I used that method for this Dexter/Buffy universe, I was using it to map the plot as well. And it works brilliantly, allowing me to see the big picture and how all the pieces and people fit into it.

And my WIP has seen more work the last few days, so I'm almost done with scene 8 of 20. Go me.
