Generally if I get the feeling a character should be in a story, I write them in. But generally I only write about a couple of people at a time, and I don't really do long plot-driven stuff, so if I'm writing about someone, it's because I got the idea for them.
I don't really plan things out, I usually just go with what feels right. Out of the ~200 fanfiction stories I've written, maybe ten of them had outlines or plans before I started writing them. But most of what I write is shameless porn, so it doesn't really take a lot of planning.
