*Fanfic writer posts a 3,000-word chapter* Okay, this literally took me three hours, but I'm satisfied with the result.

Seriously? You vomited out porn at a rate of thousand words an hour (very very obviously completely unchecked and unrevised) and you're complaining about how long it took -- and satisfied with a result that looks like something written by someone with English as a distant second language?

(Or maybe I'm just jealous because I was feeling pleased with myself for having written a whole three hundred words on a two-hour walk today...)

I'm not sure that the author is complaining that it took so long - if anything I thought they are acknowledging that it was written quickly and isn't polished.

It's phrasing I usually see when teenagers are complaining/boasting about how much sheer labour went into achieving their latest magnum opus (as opposed to "Okay, I did this in only ten minutes so it may not be up to much") -- but looking at the work to which this one was supposedly a sequel I think the author actually *is* writing in English as a second language, in which case all bets are off as to precise nuances of usage, and you may well be right.

("She gets discouraged, one of the few escapes from her is to workout but now she can't, but that's the least of it, she can't sing")
