I'm not stupid brave enough to sign up for a Bang without knowing what I'm going to write for it, and since the sign ups come so early, the idea has to as well. And then not every idea that sounbds good works on paper, so I need to have started the story too.
If it's a long fic, I can rough out the start, the end and a couple of key turning points in the middle so that I know for sure it's going to get finished. With a shorter fic, once I've got that far, it's easier to go with the flow rather than stop and pick it up again later. So yeah, I've got another fic for a Bang that's published next month that I think I finished last September. That's the annoying part, sitting on a finished story for so long!
