Speaking of process...

I'm curious what your process for larp writing is...

Do you go from a high level concept and ideas kicking around in your head straight to rough versions of character sheets, or is there a more drawn out 'make notes on ideas and possible characters and plotlines' phase? If you put together significant notes/concepts before hitting the 'writing the characters' phase, what sort of things do you these notes entail?

Did characters come first, and then the plot/goals/intercharacter history arise from that, or do you work more from the theme/overarching plots are sketched out and the characters are derived/influenced by that? Or some balance between the two?

Alice is a very 'source material' heavy game... Did you find that your research of the source material was front heavy or back heavy, or spread throughout the process? In other words, did you focus on doing your heavy research into the subject matter at the very begining, or after the pieces had already come together, or was it more of a 'throughout the entire process' affair?

Hope you don't mind me grilling you on your larp writing, I'm just trying to get a feel for how this whole business works now.
