See, I figured that since I'd already done 20+ pages of story planning for Horizon, it'd be easy to get at least the first couple of chapters written. That was my plan, anyways.
...but my plan is also for it to be an ensemble style fic with all the characters. So, while I was waiting for my pubpol class to start earlier, I ran through the characters to see who was where... and realized that, in my 20+ pages, I have not once established where any of the following characters are during the main body of the story: Vincent, Tifa, Cid, Yuffie, Nanaki, Reeve, Barrett, Rufus, Rude, Tseng, Reno, Elena, Scarlet, Heidigger, (mystery characters), (unnamed extra characters). I also have yet to properly define where, oh, everyone else is.
The moral of the story is, I have too much back story and not enough story story. Damn. Good thing the plot doesn't really pick up until chapter four-ish. XDD
Edit: And whoever it was that first told me that AC Rufus is cosplaying a ghost, I hate you so much right now... 'cause he rolls on in wearing his sheet and I can't stop laughing, which is bad 'cause there's a piece of info I need from that scene but I keep missing it 'cause I'm laughing!!!
