16: What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever done in the name of outlining/worldbuilding (timelines, research, maps, spreadsheets, etc.)?

Honestly, I’m not sure. I do a lot of research, and to keep track of everything, I make timelines and draft maps. For TTN I have an entire government formation explained on excel. All my stories are planned chapter by chapter on powerpoint (1 slide = 1 chapter, 5 bullet points for 5 scenes, each scene 1K = chapters are around 5K).

I guess one of the over-the-top things I do is that I ask for my younger sister (who studies history and political science) to send me her lecture materials so that when I design governments for e.g. Naruto fics, it will be at least halfway logical?

19: What does your editing/revising process look like?

I read through the chapter and change anything that feels like it doesn’t fit.
