I do what Roald Dahl does. I get a random idea, then I think of how I could expand that. Field Research started as "What if two room mates joined Silver in an attempt to restart Team Rocket, and the older room mate had a cop for a girlfriend who tried to shut it down?".
Then Silver turned into Cammaren, who is either Silver's daughter or niece, Team Rocket turned into an independent team based on Team Rocket, the cop girlfriend wasalmostcompletely changed into Caitie, who kept the cop aspect as her former job and actually joined the team.
It also had Justin and Ken being poachers instead of researchers, having Justin start with a Larvitar, having Jared being Justin's brother, having Barnabas being a gym leader, et cetera, et cetera.
I basically start with a random idea and change it as I go along. It's fun how the story is always better than the original plan.
Except Barnabas being a gym leader only slightly changed... What?
You do realise that I am now going to demand I read this fic now, right?That sounds like quite a cool story, I might have to give Field Research a read.
This is a cool way of coming up with a plan, it is kind of like what I do too. Obviously with Rival's Story it was a bit different though because once I came up with the idea, it was actually a very structured story already because of how close to canon it goes.
That does sound like how I came up with Are We Heroes though. I first came up with the idea of a squad of four Pokemon trainers who all had different specialities. At first they were purely villains who went and terrorised people but that seemed a little boring so I made them into world police. But then that too seemed too simple so I added the moral qualms between Boss and Brains and that was how the story finally started to take shape.

GIMME THE FIC!
