Arting Harder at the Pen Monkey Toiling Pit (Celebrate Them Pages Pt III)
Farmerbob1:
Knights of Broken Swords is up to 36,212 words, including headers.
I was intending to use this crossover short novel as an experiment in planning (planning being something that I've never really done before for writing), but I've once again discovered how painful it is to write in other people's universes, with other people's characters.
Nothing feels quite right.
That being said, I don't feel like it's terrible either. I'd be interested in hearing what you folks think about what I've done with Butters and Bob.

If you aren't familiar with Pact by Wildbow, it can be found here. It's web serial urban fantasy, but much darker then the Dresdenverse.

I'm currently working with some other Pact readers to get Pact added to the list of Fanfiction titles.
Ulfgeir:
Just finished chapter 12 of my Steampunk novel. At the moment 34 pages and slightly more than 23 000 words long. I expect it to end up around twice as long, unless I totally scrap some of the planned chapters that are in the synopsis.
The chapter made for a point where the protagonist reached the goal she set out to do earlier. Now, the remaining chapters will be the fallout of that. The chapter also contained as close as a sex-scene that the story would contain "on camera". Other such encounters are alluded to having happened "off camera". Yes, it had a definitive reason to be there for the plot, and no, the character in question is not happy at all that she didn't get more out of it. ;)
So far my New Year's resolution of writing every day holds.

Farmerbob1:
Knights of Broken Swords up to Chapter 7 and 43,494 words.
One more chapter to go. The whole planning thing seems to have worked reasonably well :)
Farmerbob1:
'Knights of Broken Swords', a fanfic, is now up to 53,987 words and is complete, though it will probably get a little poking and prodding to clean up issues.
Next Project is 'Set in Stone' Working on series backstory and story structure for the arc and the first book.
Farmerbob1:
The backstory for my next project, 'Set In Stone' has been written. 9360 words at this time, but that will almost certainly change a bit as the backstory is massaged.
'Set In Stone' is original fiction, and will be multipart. It will also be rational fiction in a stonepunk theme. Humanity on the colony Nirvana had advanced technologies taken away, but not all of its knowledge. As the simplest possible way to describe it, imagine the Flintstones, but with everything making sense.
The backstory describes how the people of Nirvana got to be where they are. The in-universe writing will rarely reference elements of the backstory.
