The prompts are great because when one grabs me it's like BAM almost all of a particular scene is in my head already. I write that, edit, cut things away, add things, look up some stuff, and then it's done. I just finished and posted a story from a prompt I read this morning. -_-
Although I've found I never delete things because I might end up liking it later (or being inspired by it). Instead, I push it down the page while I write and when I finally feel something is done (and then it's just looking for errors and flow and nit-picky stuff) I save the extras in what I would call [Fandom X] Scrap Pile. Then I throw everything that's written but not used in there. My Harry Potter one is massive, haha.
