Here's a question for the anons of /lit/:
Did you ever imagine create a story in your head and let it run for a long period of time? Like a time span of multiple years?
If so, please share with us.

My stupid novel has taken years to write because I'm so undisciplined. Does that count
autism world building thread incoming
my life
I never had one specific world or setting that played out over years but hundreds which would usually become boring after a time with dbz-like exponential power levels.
they were more vivid and I could only really visualise it when performing a repetitive action - say kicking a ball against a wall, or dribbling a basketball.
i do that every time i see a cute girl on the subway

I spent a few years creating the foundations of a fantastical world with which to create fantasy stories from, writing a comprehensive series of notes about most aspects.
The trouble is I realize most of it is pointless because shoveling in lore would clash with my writing style. I personally don't really enjoy fantasy books that try to drag you into their world, rather than using the plot or a character element to do it for you.

Yes but, as it is a private escapist fantasy, revealing anything would ruin it.
I used to have entire stories play out in the Crash Bandicoot universe in a few settings in my head every night as I tried to fall asleep as a kid. This happened almost every single night, I'd be up for an hour or two. It felt longer. I had trouble sleeping, so I mentally fan fic'd before I realized what fan ficing was.
