For me, my planning process for all of my projects has always been to pre-plan in heavy detail. I've written a book so writing a fanon was pretty different. When it came to my characters, I always develop a persona and how they are as a person. What sort of people they get along with and what people they don't. I always put myself in the eyes of the character I'm making, so I can grasp how they're going to think and feel, and how it's going to vary from one character to another. How they interact with others etc.

I basically started planning for my fanon back in November. I do have the boot order and alliances, rivals, etc all planned out. But like Tangle and some others, if the story requires it to be changed, then I probably will. Writing planning I think has two phases, the first being where you plan and then the second comes when you're writing and things start to steer away from the plan naturally.
