This is my scriv file looks like for Now and Then, in case anyone's curious. You can probably guess that most of the scenes were named on the fly. This was the first fic where I really started to use Scrivener, and it was interesting. It was still written mostly in order, with the exception of a couple of the flashbacks and two scenes I kept flipping back and forth between. One of the best things, though, was being able to easily chop off part of a section without deleting it, like those three section down there at the end. I'm always paranoid about deleting, and in the Word doc I'd have it sitting there at the end. Staring at me.

I'm still sort of testing out Scrivener's capabilities. Now I'm playing with creating "index cards" for scenes before they're written, as a way of outlining (I just did this for Mother Arc to try to figure out if I'm on track with the plot or not). I'm trying to break myself out of the restriction of writing linearly, since gods know I don't think linearly. It's also really fun to be able to flip back and forth between pieces easily, and to have multiple pieces open at once. Scrivener will also display images and PDFs in the "Research" section, so I have several manga pages, the official height chart, and various other things right at hand.

Anyway, I just thought people might be interested in seeing the scene breakdown, since it's kinda amusing.
