Your Fastest-Written Work

[ADirtyPerv]

Inspired by this comment by @ElectricBlue . What is your fastest, most slipped-into-a-writing-trance story? Where you start writing, and the itch seizes you, and you look back hours later and ask, "What have I wrought?" Only to reply to yourself, after a reread, "Huh, I done wrought some pretty good shit."

It doesn't have to be long, just fast. And, if you care about such things, how did it do? After your intense work was done, was it loved?

For me it was The Biggest of Dicks. The FMC's voice came through bright and clear for two days or so, and I finished most of it in that timespan, while juggling work. I still like that story a lot. It started at ~4.63 and climbed slowly to 4.77. It's my only real climber, the rest have been largely static.

Maybe obvious, but my 750-word project story On the Origin of Anthros. It went from idea to finished rough draft in about 30 minutes. Then a couple days of editing while I was working on other stuff.

That was awesome, thanks.

It was The Hardicks of Pornville. Less than 12k words and just a some outrageous sex scenes like a 1980s porno. It was fun to write, and it came easy, with most of the writing done over a weekend and the editing done the following.

Subtitle: "A day of bow-chicka-wow-wow." Added to my read-later list, that sounds awesome.

Published would've been No Heroes In Love for Valentine's. Working on a deadline is good for me, but if my laptop didn't break, I would've finished before the deadline instead of editing from scratch again!

As for how did it do... Nah, man, I don't care about metrics. Even if it was a contest, I already won my paycheck because I immersed myself as if it was the 1930s, and either I write that, or I won't be eating for two weeks. If you ask me, I collected my paycheck and Laurel's soiled panties this morning, and a slip saying "you better don't take another hiatus this time, you coward." Helps to be delusional if it keeps me publishing, which it is. I plan to edit four 750-word entries next week.

Unpublished would've been my first novel 11 years ago, which took me two weeks.

Anything that's between 750 to 1K long takes me between half an hour and an hour and a half. Longer than 1K takes me hours or days, depending on the word count.

I'm going to answer with two different stories because they are very different. The fastest story from opening the empty file to pushing submit was my one T/I story, Santa's Lap. I wanted too see if the category really was just free views and followers. I spent 4 hours on it, total. Actually, I spent several days arguing with myself to submit it or not, but that was because I felt kind of gross writing the story. And yes, four hours got me 100K views and something like 60 new followers. It's one of my lower rated stories (4.57), but the big complaint was that they only had sex once on camera. If I'd taken something for an upset stomach, I expect I could have been in the 4.7's with it. It did kind of confirm my suspicions for the category.

My fastest output per word was probably The Important Days, which I had considered my best story until two weeks ago. I had been working on a really dumb idea for the nude day contest (my first contest) and decided I hated it. I woke up with another idea in the morning. I wrote a polished draft in about 2.5 days and spent more time editing it than any other story I had written to date, because I knew it was the best thing I had written. I got more feedback from my wife on it than I had on any story before or since. It took a short 5 days from waking up with the concept to pushing submit. It go a W in the contest.

EDIT: I forgot to say it's 28K words.

I guess I'm the slowpoke, here.

My latest, Figure Study with My Sister (currently at 4.58), started life as a relatively small background/infodump scene from a different WIP that took on a life of it's own. Once I hit about 6K words on that part, alone, I spalled it off into it's own story.

Took me just-shy of three months and hit ~49K words.

<sarc>I'm such the slacker </sarc>

Heels Over Head, written in under an hour, the same spent on editing (including incorporating my editor's suggestions).

[dirk2024]

Probably Our Demon Saviors , a short (5k word) story that I finished relatively quickly compared to my other works. It was fun, a little tongue in cheek yet still sexy story.

 

[SyleusSnow]

For non-750s, for me it has to be The Waif and the Wall - first draft in about one hour, then a few more hours tinkering and it was done.

For 750s, Shouldn't Be was written in 30 minutes. It remains my most popular one.

Funny thing with both of those: I have absolutely no idea where the ideas for either of them came from.

That was adorable. I friggin loved it.

 

[PapaRomantic]

I think mine would be County Fair, my entry into the Summer Lovin' contest last year. It was much shorter than my usual at 9.2k. I was under a deadline because I had decided towards the end of the entry window to get one entered. One of the reasons it went so quickly is that it's probably got more autobiographical material than any other of my stories. I didn't have to do any research because I had lived in the time frame of the story, and I was able to recall many fond memories as I wrote it.

 

[TheLobster]

I haven't finished anything non-750 in a single setting, but Coworkers with Benefits came pretty close to that. 9k words written and edited over 2 or 3 days, then submitted as my second entry for On The Job event last year while I waited for @PennyThompson to beta-read my first one.

I wrote this in about 50 minutes, which included two work Teams meetings (ones I wasn’t maybe concentrating on 100%):

[Not2Pervy]

Our Dog Found a Dildo was conceived, written, and uploaded all within a single day. It’s 5.9K words of unabashed T/I smut. My intention was to be light and breezy in the vein of things I remembered from my formative years reading Penthouse Forum. It currently sits at 4.63 with 41.5K views over 11 months.

I don't think I've ever managed to get 'in the zone' for the entire duration of a work. Closest would be Drinking with Julia, which is a short slice-of-life vignette about a lesbian BDSM session. I wrote the synopsis and first few rounds of dialogue about a year before the rest, then got out of the kink headspace where it appealed to me for a while. Somehow, I must have fallen back into that headspace hard, because I sat down one day and the rest of the story just flowed out of me (no pun intended).

I wish I knew how to consistently get in the zone like that, I have a couple dozen WIPs that I've been plodding along on writing only a few paragraphs at a time for months!

 

[calmlikeabomb]

Two plot bunnies I got done in a couple of hours each:

Star Crossed Anal
Breeding Busty Banno

Both were written for a lark as distractions from the longer stories I was writing at the time. They were both fantastic opportunities for me to step away from being "serious" and have some fun.

Neither of them is very highly rated (philistines!), but I had so much fun writing them that I don't even care!

@ADirtyPerv you might remember some of these lol

 

[Actingup]

A short piece reflecting on the many who are left behind after suicide, 'After her workmate's funeral'. No beta-readers, and as it was based on a family suicide, it was too painful to obsessively overwork - I put myself in a detached writing trance and did it in a session, and then reread the next day before publishing. I'm glad that I wrote it.

For these kind of stories, I'd guess drinking a lot of fluids and typing as fast as possible before you really have to go might be the way.

Definitely not my technique, but it's certainly an interesting approach...

Oof. That was intense, and hit close to home in some ways. Thank you.

Do you find that publishing changed how you felt? I have a few traumatic pieces I've written and sealed away in their own little corners of my Google drive, and I wonder if actually putting them out would change anything. I can't imagine it was easy to hit publish on this work, but did that act...help, somehow?

After twenty-five years of writing here, I STILL can't tell whether my story will turn out good or not while I'm writing it, but the ones I write very quickly seem to come out best (and are best recieved). No turd-polishing, I guess.

This effect is definitely related to my ADHD.

Might just be that the most sincere and believable writing is the type you do when you get in the zone? I feel like this for myself.
