* As of July 2015, the longest (non-troll) fanfiction on the Website/FanFictionDotNet site is ''FanFic/TheSubspaceEmissarysWorldsConquest'', with 220 chapters consisting of ''4,061,129'' words. Yes, you read that right. And it's not even finished - the author has been updating this fic since March of 2008, and is hoping to make it 400 chapters. The most recent chapters are roughly 40,000 words each. That's enough for them to qualify as novels on their own, at least according to The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's criteria.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2094087/1/Hugs-and-Kisses Hugs and Kisses]]'' is a fanfic featuring Wrestling/ChrisJericho and Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon... that on 1 April 2014 quietly snuck past Worlds Conquest when its 441st chapter took it to 3,593,793 words, making it the longest story on Fanfiction.net. It held that title for about two months before Worlds Conquest exited its hiatus. As of chapter 503 it sits at 3,865,990 words, though updates seem to have stopped. The earlier part ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1955444/1/Hugs-and-Kisses-The-Beginning Hugs and Kisses: The Beginning]]'' is also over a million words, with the two combined totalling just over 4.9 million.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/992851/chapters/1961979 CCW: Character Championship Wrestling]]'' is the longest fanfic on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. As of 15 March 2017 it is 213 chapters and 3,617,232 words long.
* The ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fanfic, ''FanFic/SpiritOfRedemption'' has a grand total of 3,404,854 words in 162 chapters. And by the way, it's all original plot and mostly all {{OC}}s. There are a few other stories out there that are [[SerialEscalation longer than this]], but what really makes ''Spirit of Redemption'' stand out is that it was written in only 21 months whereas the other stories that break 3 million words have been ongoing for years. It's also the longest completed fanfic. The writer, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/~myetel Myetel,]] once had a job writing technical manuals for NASA. Perhaps that explains it...
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4778437/1/These_Black_Eyes_Ag_Re_Post_Ing_r These Black Eyes]]'' in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' section is over 2.5 million words, 272 chapters. Depending on how much of Arc III has been lost, it may have been over 3 million in its full version.
* ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' fanfic ''FanFic/TrialByTenderness'' sits at just over 2.2 million words as of December 2014 -- at ''Harry Potter'' word-per-page rates, that's around 7,000 pages, and over three times the length of ''Literature/AtlasShrugged''. The author doesn't seem to be planning on stopping anytime soon, either.

* Lightning on the Wave's AlternateUniverse ''Literature/HarryPotter'' epic known as the ''FanFic/ArcOfSacrifices''. It's posted as 7 separate stories (mirroring the 7-book format of the HP series), so the site doesn't record the full tale's word count. This is really too bad, since it clocks in at just over '''3 million''' words. Surprisingly enough (for a fanfic), it's actually a complete story. The author wrote it between September '05 and Jan '07, posting an average of 6400 words per day.
* ''FanFic/UndocumentedFeatures'' clocks in at (as of early November 2008) approximately 20 megabytes of pure ASCII text. That's 3.5 million words long. Which actually makes it longer than the ''Sacrifices Arc''.
* ''FanFic/LatiasJourney'', weights in at 1,237,300 words. Combining it with its sequel ''FanFic/BraveNewWorld'', already mentioned above, results in a length of over 3.5 million words.
* FanFic/TheInfiniteLoops as a whole falls under this, thanks to having multiple authors writing for different franchises in the universes setting and having others still contributing snips to them as well. As of putting this here, ''just'' the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]] branch of the loops has gone for 198 chapters and ''2,042,068 words''. In total, the loops ranks in at +400 chapters and ''+5,000,000'' words.

In total, the trilogy spans 4,470,278 words.
* The 10 core stories of [[http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=category&user=48437 BlackRoseRaven's]] fusion of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and Myth/NorseMythology referred to as the Fanfic/BloomingMoonChronicles or the 99 Worlds Saga total ''4,441,432 words''. That doesn't even count the various sequels or side stories (most of the author's other entries tie in to TheVerse).
* The ''Fanfic/{{Austraeoh}}'' series. While each story has 200 chapters, they are very short, usually no more than a few hundred words. Still, as of July 2017, the entire nonology clocks in at above 3,300,000 words so far, and the author is planning on several more parts.
* The second story of the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' series, ''Fanfic/AStickySituation'', is called ''Secret of the 327th'' and crosses over with ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars.'' Upon completion, it turned out to be 220 chapters and 2,291,357 words. The third part sits at well over 840,000 as of August 2015. And the fourth sits at over 600,000.
* The ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries''. Altogether, the completed seasons and side-stories total 2,176,431 words.[[note]]This total does not include the uncompleted Season 8 to make it easier to add when it's finished, or the non-canon Fourth Wall Variety Show stuff.[[/note]] Imagine a binding of that.
** The actual seasons can qualify. For a while, they hovered over 80,000 words, with Seasons 3 and 5 both breaking 100,000... then came Season 6. The [[AlternateUniverse Dark World]]/[[ADayInTheLimelight Shining Armor]] arc was a massive 825,116 word monster. Since then, seasons seem to hit this trend, with Season 5.5/6.5 hitting 174,056 words, Season 7 ending at 523,208 words, and the uncompleted Season 8 currently just north of 400,000 words.
** ''FanFic/PinkiePiesFourthWallVarietyShow'', a non canon Pony POV series, had all its episode collected together on [=FIMFiction=]. The end result was another 423,287 words on top of everything else.
* As of November 2016, all the works (including non-canon) in the ''Fanfic/PokeWars'' added up to a total of 4,813,057 words.
* The same creator of ''Fanfic/SoulChess'' brought us ''Fanfic/FairyWithoutWings''. While ''Fanfic/SoulChess'' did not break 2,000,000 words (see below) this one did and is ''still ongoing''.
* ''FanFic/AdoptedDisplaced'' series: As of January 1, 2017, the thirteen ''completed'' stories alone total 1,127,027 words. The series later passed the 2 million mark on May 19, 2017, with sixteen completed stories (1,531,578 words between them, with the four ongoing fics making up the difference). On top of that, the author's adding another 8,000 minimum every week. And there are more stories to come.

* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1753484/1/RockmanEXE_The_College_Years RockmanEXE: The College Years]]'' comes in at over 1,000,000 words in 280 chapters. It's about three times longer than any other single fic in the Megaman category.
* ''[[http://ficwad.com/story/213011 Eroninja]]'' currently clocks in at 70 chapters and just under 1,500,000 words. The side-story ''[[http://ficwad.com/story/214155 Eroninja: The Limelight]]'' adds almost another 100,000. Both stories are still going strong and the author intends to write at least [[UpToEleven two sequels]].
* The RecursiveFanfiction ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'' has passed the original ''Fallout Equestria'', has been completed with over 1.7 million words. Unlike plenty of other long fanfics, it's not due to {{Padding}}; both this story and the original have editors and are regarded as good quality works.
* ''Fanfic/AshesOfThePast'', a ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime fanfiction, clocks in at 1,143,771 words and still ongoing as of November 2016.

[[folder:Over 1,000,000 words (series)]]

** ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' alone has over 700,000 words spread out over 100 episodes.
* The ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/2124/trixies-magic-bit Trixieverse]]'' series exceeds 1,000,000 words in seven successive books, each one focussing on different character arcs and situations but continuing the larger narrative.
* The ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fanfic trilogy ''Fanfic/MassVexations'' clocks in at just under 1.4 million words. Across the entire series, two of the installments clock in at just over 600,000 words.
* The ''Fanfic/TotalDramaComebackSeries'' is composed of the first saga, one of the only complete alternate-seasons at over 400,000 words, and the second fic ''Total Drama Battlegrounds'' is set to at least triple that amount with double the contestants. This is over a million words for a kids' show.
* The ''Fanfic/AlbusPotterSeries'', consisting of 7 "books", clocks in at over 1,120,000 words, about 50,000 words longer than the actual Harry Potter series.
* ''Fanfic/IronHearts'', each of the chapters in this [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP]] and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' crossover series is well over 100,000 words, with most topping 200,000 by a fair margin. Altogether, the series is roughly 1,400,000 words as of April 26 2016.

* As of July 2016, the series ''Fanfic/DownToAgincourt'' is more than 1,000,000 words in length (and that's only the first four books of a projected nine)!
[[folder:Over 500,000 words (single)]]
* Naruto fanfic ''Fanfic/BetterLeftUnsaid'', at over 950,000 words as of 2016.
* Another example of long Harry Potter fanfic is ''Hogwarts Exposed'', a fanfic coming in at over 700,000 words. It would be much shorter if not for the rampant [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundancy]] and {{filler}}, of course.
* ''FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'' is 755,729 words long. It shows, too; each chapter is a veritable mountain of text. ''The prologue'' clocks in at about 54 pages in Word-format.
* The ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'' is 508,921 words in length. ''Fanfic/TiberiumWars'', by the same author, looks like its going to run a risk of hitting this as well, as it is only seventeen chapters long at this point but is clocking in at over 150,000 words, and canonically, it hasn't even finished the first of the actual game's ''five'' acts.
* ''[[http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php?id=49664&submit=View Par Tout Autre Nom,]]'' a ''crossover'' between Manga/InuYasha and Manga/YuYuHakusho is 500,000+ words and seems nowhere near done.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9443327/1/ A Third Path to the Future]]'' a ''Harry Potter'' and ''Marvel'' crossover that clocks at 829,759 words and only 21 chapters. It's been recently updated and shows no sign of stopping.
* tracefan's ''FanFic/TheDarknessWithin'', presently having over 650,000 words. It doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.
* The ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ADifferentLesson''. As originally posted, over 1100 pages; a smaller font sized version runs around 550 pages. 45 chapters, 632,000 words. And amazingly, very little of it is filler; there's just that much going on.
* ''FanFic/NobodyDies''. 105 chapters and 626,466 words as of this writing, and will likely hit 150 chapters before its run is up.
* 174 Chapters, 548,269 words, presenting the ''Franchise/{{Bratz}}'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5203235/1/Blast_To_The_Past Blast To The Past.]]''
* ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'': At the time of the [[AuthorExistenceFailure author's death]], the story is 632 ''thousand'' words. 1000+ A4 pages, if you planed on printing it, ''and the story is still not finished...''[[note]]But of course it will probably never be finished now, thanks to the AuthorExistenceFailure.[[/note]]
* ''[[FanFic/UltimateSleepwalker Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' ended in December 2016 at 115 chapters and 663,326 words in total. ''[[FanFic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'', a companion series set in the same universe, is currently at 530,296 words and 89 chapters, and is ongoing.
* HVK's ''FanFic/KingdomCrossovers''. Back when it was over 500,000 words, it was still in Traverse Town, promising an ArcFatigue probably worse than the [[Anime/DragonBallZ Namek Saga]]. Currently it is over 900,000 words long.
* ''Fanfic/DragonAgeTheCrownOfThorns'', with 900,000 words as of December 2014.
* ''FanFic/AGrowingAffection'' is over 680,000 words long. At one point it was only the fifth longest ''Anime/{{Naruto}}'' fanfic on fanfiction.net.
* The ''Anime/CodeGeass'' fanfic ''{{Dauntless}}''. It started in July 2010; by January 2012, it was at over 539,000 words in 77 chapters, and usually updated at an average of once every 8-10 days. The author believed that she ''might'' finish sometime in 2012. She didn't, and it's still ongoing. As of December 2014 it is 97 chapters long and over 660,000 words.
* ''FanFic/ThisPlatinumCrown'' is 847,983 words as of April 2016 and still not finished. Add to that that's it's a sequel to ''FanFic/TheBestNightEver'', which is comparatively short at 53,935 words.

At 105 chapters and over 900,000 words, the story is still not finished. Granted, the sheer length may be due to writing a fully original Persona-esque story and not basing it on any of the canon games.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' fanfic ''FanFic/ImperfectMetamorphosis''. As of December 2014 it sits at a whopping 877,840 words - and isn't even finished yet.

* ''FanFic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'' finished in 2015 with just over 660,000 words. In addition, at the end of chapter 113 the author challenged the readers to figure out how Harry could get out of a seemingly hopeless situation by posting their guess as a review, and threatened to give them a bad ending if no-one came up with a viable solution. There were so many entries sent in that within 40 hours the comment section was longer than any of the canon books, and [[GoneHorriblyRight he had to appeal to the fans to try and help sort them out]].
* By the time [[Tropers/UltraSonic007 UltraSonic007's]] ''Digimon'' FixFic ''FanFic/Zero2ARevision'' is finished, the story tops at 583,698 words in 60 chapters.

The author originally planned the story to be 100 chapters... yeah, right, it has gone pretty far beyond that. As of Oct. 2013 it is over 130 chapters and has broken 900,000 words. At least it's finally approaching the FinalBattle... very slowly, that is. The crazier thing is that the author had also been planning to write a {{Prequel}} detailing the backstories of some of the [=OCs=] in this fic, but scrapped that idea as it would take too much time. The important parts of this planned prequel were incorporated into the fic as flashbacks. The story finally wrapped up at 986,000+ words and 140 chapters on October 3, 2015.

* [=ScytheRider's=] ''FanFic/PokemonMysteryDungeonSilverResistance'' weighing in at 728,981 words (as of November 2016).
* ''FanFic/TheLongRoad'', a ''Manga/DragonBall'' fanfiction, clocks in at just over 700,000 words ''and counting''. One of the most recent chapters singlehandedly clocked in at ''40,000'' words alone, which is a pretty decent number for a single fanfiction.
* ''FanFic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': A ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'' and ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' crossover. It's over 810,000 words and still going.
* ''Roleplay/DigimonWorldInfamy'' is currently at around 500,000 words (as of May 2017). Impressive given that it started in Feburary 2017 and updates daily.
* ''Fanfic/SailorMoonZ'' may only have had 25 chapters, but when the later chapters are themselves the length short novels (Episode 20 alone is 56,000 words long), the fic still is still well over 650,000 words in total.
* The ''Manga/DragonBallZ'' fanfic ''Fanfic/BreakThroughTheLimit'', which surpasses 850000 words in length. Though then again, some chapters have a rather lengthy Q&A section.

* ''FanFic/TheDreamlandStory''. It's 87 (gradually-increasing-in-length) chapters, and 140,168 words, long, made even crazier by the fact that it's a ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' fanfic. (And it ''works!'')
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' fic ''Fanfic/TwilightValley'' is a small doorstopper at 177,877 words.
* The ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'' fanfic ''Fanfic/DespairsLastResort'' is, as of December 2014, 51 parts long and is over 180,000 words long. What makes this impressive is how the author has been writing this since May 24, 2014 and has managed to upload around one or two chapters per week since then. And each chapter has around 3,000 words at least.
* ''Fanfic/TotalDramaIslandByGilbertAndSullivan'' is a borderline case. Although it's "only" about 120,000 words including the supplemental materials, the PDF version clocks in at right around 500 pages because so much of its content is poetry (song lyrics) which is notorious for using page space inefficiently. The 700 ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Island'' screenshots put a goodly percentage of that white space to use, though.
* ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5626292/ Re: Yin Yang Who?]]'' is currently eighteen chapters long with over 220,000 words in over five hundred pages and counting; even so, it hasn't been completed... yet.
* The ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' fan fic ''[[FanFic/TamersForeverSeries Silent Sorrow]]'' is over 600 pages in length, or just over 180,000 words. What's truly amazing is that it has absolutely '''''NO''''' {{Filler}} or {{Padding}} whatsoever.
* ''Fanfic/TheElementsOfFriendship, Book I: Harmony'' is an AU of the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' that expands the struggle against [=NightMare=] Moon to a full epic, coming in just shy of 250,000 words. The kicker? It's the first of a planned series, meaning we might be seeing some full blown ArchivePanic. So far, the only completed sequel has been the first interlude, ''Bonds'', which is only 45,000 words long... enough to qualify for a novel in its own right.
* ''FanFic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''MassEffect''[=/=]''StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]'']] [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] is "only" 100,000 words--but the sequel [[UpToEleven goes nuts]] being over four times longer and not even finished yet!
* ''FanFic/KyoshiRising'', a prequel to ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' focused on the titular former Avatar, is currently at 242,790 words, with an author's estimation of being only a little more than a third of the way done.
* ''FanFic/MythsAndBirthrights'' is heading in this direction. Before the rewrites, it was just short of 250,000 words. Plus there's several (shorter, thankfully) side-stories.
* ''FanFic/ProjectSunflower'' is another ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fic that reached 242,202 words. Its sequel has broken 100,000 words as of April 2016 and is still ongoing.
* ''FanFic/UnderTheNorthernLights'', as of April 2016, is almost finished at 214,532 words.
* ''Fanfic/LongRoadToFriendship'' ended at 42 chapters and 219,811 words. The author plans a sequel.
* ''Fanfic/{{Asylum}}'', as of May 2016, has 191,704 words, and still isn't finished.
* The longest ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' story in Spanish is ''Total Drama: World Tour Express'', a sequel to the third season of the series, with nearly 200,000 words. Its sequel, Total Drama: Back to School! already has nearly 100,000 words and it's only in its midpoint.
* ''Fanfic/PowersOfInvisibility'' is the second longest completed ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' story on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn at 246,310 words and it's currently in fourth place overall. A sequel and some one-shot followups have been announced.

[[folder:Unsorted]]
* The released chapters of ''Fanfic/MisfiledDreams'' run 611 pages, including 2 blank pages in the first chapter and 6 pages of art. The ''unreleased'' (and unedited) chapters run another 454 pages.
* ''FanFic/TheUnitySaga'', a ''Star Wars''/''Star Trek'' crossover that runs a total of 250 chapters. Most of the chapters have a manageable size, but the final entries in each of the six parts suddenly balloon to a very intimidating length.
* ''Fanfic/RhymeAndReason'' was not only the first fanfic based on ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' and has always been considered one of the best, but with 158,492 words, it also used to be the longest and definitely considered a Doorstopper. But then, after seven years of on-and-off work, ''Gadget in Chains'' was completed. It stands at 402,670 words.
** The Russian original of ''Offensive Care'' has 176,362 words. The author's own English translation grew slightly beyond 200,000 words.
* ''[[FanFic/TeachingDarkness Teaching Darkness: Memories]]'' by RaeLogan, is over 206,000 words, and itself is PART 5 in a series, with the previous story at only a little over 52,000 (at least a quarter of its sequel's size!) and the currently in progress part 6 at over 137,000 as of January 27th, 2012. The fanfic series itself has sidestories (for ideas decidedly too short compared to the main stories to focus a multichapter story around, regarded as a different canon, except maybe the ''Twilight Zone''-esque one), about seven posted scrapped unfinished stories (released as Deleted Scenes), and several fan written stories, which, if compiled into one volume would be considered a Doorstopper. Sometimes jokingly referred to [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative THE Largest Fanfic Series Centered Around A Scrapped Character In A Game That Never Happened]]. Who? Mephiles the Dark from [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic Next Gen]]... VERY loosely.
* ''Fanfic/ThawingPermafrost'' is by no means a titan like the rest on this list, but it still qualifies as a door-stopper and the longest Mizore-centric fic in the ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' category (35 chapters across 518 pages, according to the author.)
** ''Fanfic/HereInMyArms'' is at least two and a half times as long, in the same fandom.
* ''Fanfic/BloodThatFlows'' is, without a question, the longest ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' fanfic on Fanfiction.net. Over 300 chapters alone and over 720,000 words. The only ''Nanoha'' fanfic that comes close is the ''FanFic/DevaSeries'', where, if you add up all four parts, there are more words than ''Blood That Flows'', but it still has less chapters. Of course, the latter is a pure ''Nanoha'' AlternateUniverseFic, while the former is a crossover with ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' that pulls plotlines from both series.
* ''Fanfic/TheNeoDominoPurge'' is putting up a challenge for the longer ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' fanfics - currently at 364,981 from 36 chapters. And still ''setting up the Dark Signer arc''. TheRemake is 94,882 words from 6 chapters. Altogether; 459,863 and counting.
** From the same author, ''Fanfic/{{Override}}'', a ''Anime/CardfightVanguard'' fanfic weighing at just under 160,000 words from just 11 chapters, giving it a greater average words per chapter than the first version of ''Neo-Domino Purge''. And it's just getting started. Judging by the author's writing, it won't be long before it climbs into the same kind of league as the above.
* A kitten!fic trilogy, focusing on the Akatsuki from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', clocks in at over 700,000 words, starting with ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6603075/1/Consider-Yourselves-Kitties Consider Yourselves Kitties]]''. This is notable because kitten!fics have a tendency to [[StillbornSerial peter out after the first few chapters]], even more so than most fics.
* While the first Volume of ''FanFic/TSATheAmazingSpiderman'' is only 50,000 words long, Volume 2 is over 800,000 words long and 70 chapters in and not yet finished. The story will continue with Volumes 3 and 4, so it will likely reach two million words. This is justifable as it is a complete retelling of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'', which is 50 years of storylines to draw from.
** Also worth noting is that the author typically updates once a week, with most chapters going over 10,000 words.
* ''Fanfic/HorseshoesAndHandGrenades'' and stories relating to it have a combined total of 327,195 words with most of them not even finished and most likely more stories on the horizon.
* The ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/LikeOneSunderedStar'' is 700,000 words long as of Chapter 17, not counting its 90,000+ word "intermission fic". WordOfGod says that the main story is not even at its halfway point and that there will be at least one more intermission.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3703685/1/Family Family]]'' by The Middle Warner Sibling, an ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' fanfiction following the lives of the Warner Siblings within an AnimatedActor universe, has a completed total of 763,370 words. However, if taking into account the side-story ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4638224/1/Friends Friends]]'', which contains some particularly imperative plot points in the context of ''Family'', the two add up a total of 966,373 words for the universe as a whole.
* ''TheMobiusChronicles'' is currently two-and-a-half books and over 1,000 pages long, and the author reckons he has "multiple books" left to go.
* The entire ''Fanfic/Gensokyo20XX'' series is about is about 343,453 words long, with one story in particular being about 120 chapters.
* As of June 11, 2017, ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' stands at 270,222 words, and it's barely begun. And that's just the main story; counting [[ExpandedUniverse the numerous spinoffs and tie-in oneshots set in the same continuity]], the number at least goes double.

[[folder:Over 2,000,000 words (single)]]
* As of July 2015, the longest (non-troll) fanfiction on the Website/FanFictionDotNet site is ''FanFic/TheSubspaceEmissarysWorldsConquest'', with 220 chapters consisting of ''4,061,129'' words. Yes, you read that right. And it's not even finished - the author has been updating this fic since March of 2008, and is hoping to make it 400 chapters. The most recent chapters are roughly 40,000 words each. That's enough for them to qualify as novels on their own, at least according to The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's criteria.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2094087/1/Hugs-and-Kisses Hugs and Kisses]]'' is a fanfic featuring Wrestling/ChrisJericho and Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon... that on 1 April 2014 quietly snuck past Worlds Conquest when its 441st chapter took it to 3,593,793 words, making it the longest story on Fanfiction.net. It held that title for about two months before Worlds Conquest exited its hiatus. As of chapter 503 it sits at 3,865,990 words, though updates seem to have stopped. The earlier part ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1955444/1/Hugs-and-Kisses-The-Beginning Hugs and Kisses: The Beginning]]'' is also over a million words, with the two combined totalling just over 4.9 million.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/992851/chapters/1961979 CCW: Character Championship Wrestling]]'' is the longest fanfic on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. As of 15 March 2017 it is 213 chapters and 3,617,232 words long.
* The ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fanfic, ''FanFic/SpiritOfRedemption'' has a grand total of 3,404,854 words in 162 chapters. And by the way, it's all original plot and mostly all {{OC}}s. There are a few other stories out there that are [[SerialEscalation longer than this]], but what really makes ''Spirit of Redemption'' stand out is that it was written in only 21 months whereas the other stories that break 3 million words have been ongoing for years. It's also the longest completed fanfic. The writer, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/~myetel Myetel,]] once had a job writing technical manuals for NASA. Perhaps that explains it...
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4778437/1/These_Black_Eyes_Ag_Re_Post_Ing_r These Black Eyes]]'' in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' section is over 2.5 million words, 272 chapters. Depending on how much of Arc III has been lost, it may have been over 3 million in its full version.
* ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' fanfic ''FanFic/TrialByTenderness'' sits at just over 2.2 million words as of December 2014 -- at ''Harry Potter'' word-per-page rates, that's around 7,000 pages, and over three times the length of ''Literature/AtlasShrugged''. The author doesn't seem to be planning on stopping anytime soon, either.
* ''FanFic/TheChase'' clocks in at over 2,000,000 words ''(contained within over 800 chapters)'' as of January 2016.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8935062/1/Shards-To-A-Whole Shards To a Whole]]'' an ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' fanfic centering around [=McGee=] and Abby but extended to show Team Gibbs evolving into [[TrueCompanions The Gibbs Family]]. As of 2/20/2016, clocking it at 529 chapters, over 2.3 million words, and still not finished. Not counting ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10113704/1/Shards Shards]]'', an Alternate Universe story currently at 140 chapters an over 650 thousand words and counting; "Shards" picks up after chapter 290 of "[=StaW=]", and is being written by Keryl Raist for those who want to follow the plot beats of her main story without dealing with a primary plotline of her later chapters in "[=StaW=]", [[spoiler: in which Tim and Abby [=McGee=] and Jimmy and Breena Palmer [[{{Polyamory}} enter into a long-term four-way romantic relationship]]]].
* ''FanFic/BraveNewWorld'' currently stands at 2,404,050 words.
* ''Fanfic/AmbienceAFleetSymphony'', as of September 19, 2016, clocks in at 260 chapters and 2,632,522 words, and it's still ongoing.
* ''FanFic/DiariesOfAMadman'', which as of January 2017, is over 2.04 million words, with no sign of slowing down any time soon.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Over 2,000,000 words (series)]]
* Lightning on the Wave's AlternateUniverse ''Literature/HarryPotter'' epic known as the ''FanFic/ArcOfSacrifices''. It's posted as 7 separate stories (mirroring the 7-book format of the HP series), so the site doesn't record the full tale's word count. This is really too bad, since it clocks in at just over '''3 million''' words. Surprisingly enough (for a fanfic), it's actually a complete story. The author wrote it between September '05 and Jan '07, posting an average of 6400 words per day.
* ''FanFic/UndocumentedFeatures'' clocks in at (as of early November 2008) approximately 20 megabytes of pure ASCII text. That's 3.5 million words long. Which actually makes it longer than the ''Sacrifices Arc''.
* ''FanFic/LatiasJourney'', weights in at 1,237,300 words. Combining it with its sequel ''FanFic/BraveNewWorld'', already mentioned above, results in a length of over 3.5 million words.
* FanFic/TheInfiniteLoops as a whole falls under this, thanks to having multiple authors writing for different franchises in the universes setting and having others still contributing snips to them as well. As of putting this here, ''just'' the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]] branch of the loops has gone for 198 chapters and ''2,042,068 words''. In total, the loops ranks in at +400 chapters and ''+5,000,000'' words. It's gotten to the point where the trope page has sub-pages for any compilation with more then 20 chapters; FanFic/TheMLPLoops obviously enough, FanFic/ThePokemonLoops, FanFic/TheRWBYLoops, Fanfic/TheWinxClubLoops...
* A ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' fanfic series [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3954576/1/Flames-and-Family Flames and Family]] by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1446765/madashes2ashes madashes2ashes]] is made up of four complete stories and the fifth is still ongoing. Part IV in particular contains 2,225,275 words in 161 chapters, putting it in FF.net's top 10 longest individual stories. In total, the word count for the fics goes over 3.5 million words.
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3455738/1/Tales_of_The_Cosmic_War_vol_1_A_Heros_Evolution Tales of The Cosmic War]]'' is a story that has three parts with a total of around 200 chapters (parts as in stories) the first one has around 1,100,000 words, the third was finished with 2,411,720 words on its own. In total, the trilogy spans 4,470,278 words.
* The 10 core stories of [[http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=category&user=48437 BlackRoseRaven's]] fusion of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and Myth/NorseMythology referred to as the Fanfic/BloomingMoonChronicles or the 99 Worlds Saga total ''4,441,432 words''. That doesn't even count the various sequels or side stories (most of the author's other entries tie in to TheVerse).
* The ''Fanfic/{{Austraeoh}}'' series. While each story has 200 chapters, they are very short, usually no more than a few hundred words. Still, as of July 2017, the entire nonology clocks in at above 3,300,000 words so far, and the author is planning on several more parts.
* The second story of the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' series, ''Fanfic/AStickySituation'', is called ''Secret of the 327th'' and crosses over with ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars.'' Upon completion, it turned out to be 220 chapters and 2,291,357 words. The third part sits at well over 840,000 as of August 2015. And the fourth sits at over 600,000.
* The ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries''. Altogether, the completed seasons and side-stories total 2,176,431 words.[[note]]This total does not include the uncompleted Season 8 to make it easier to add when it's finished, or the non-canon Fourth Wall Variety Show stuff.[[/note]] Imagine a binding of that.
** The actual seasons can qualify. For a while, they hovered over 80,000 words, with Seasons 3 and 5 both breaking 100,000... then came Season 6. The [[AlternateUniverse Dark World]]/[[ADayInTheLimelight Shining Armor]] arc was a massive 825,116 word monster. Since then, seasons seem to hit this trend, with Season 5.5/6.5 hitting 174,056 words, Season 7 ending at 523,208 words, and the uncompleted Season 8 currently just north of 400,000 words.
** ''FanFic/PinkiePiesFourthWallVarietyShow'', a non canon Pony POV series, had all its episode collected together on [=FIMFiction=]. The end result was another 423,287 words on top of everything else.
* As of November 2016, all the works (including non-canon) in the ''Fanfic/PokeWars'' added up to a total of 4,813,057 words.
* The same creator of ''Fanfic/SoulChess'' brought us ''Fanfic/FairyWithoutWings''. While ''Fanfic/SoulChess'' did not break 2,000,000 words (see below) this one did and is ''still ongoing''.
* ''FanFic/AdoptedDisplaced'' series: As of January 1, 2017, the thirteen ''completed'' stories alone total 1,127,027 words. The series later passed the 2 million mark on May 19, 2017, with sixteen completed stories (1,531,578 words between them, with the four ongoing fics making up the difference). On top of that, the author's adding another 8,000 minimum every week. And there are more stories to come.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Over 1,000,000 words (single)]]
* ''[[FanFic/YetAgain Yet Again with a little extra help]]'' reached 1,262,281 words at its completion after approximately three years of work. This is all before the TimeSkip in Naruto, incidentally, and the story continues in a sequel for Post Time-Skip.
** Third Fang has put up roughly 1,200,000 words in a period of 900, that is 1300 words per day, everyday. this time figure does not remove the time taken up buy revisions or time spent doing other tiresome things like sleeping and eating.
* At over 1,080,000 and still ongoing as of 2015 ''Fanfic/{{Drifting}}'' is currently the second longest ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' story on FanFictionDotNet.
* ''FanFic/GodSlayingBladeWorks''-- A crossover piece between a VisualNovel/FateStayNight[=/=]LightNovel/{{Campione}} crossover written by Marcus Galen Sands, where Shirou and Illya survive the Normal ending of The Heaven's Feel route via Dimension hopping and God magic.
* ''FanFic/ACertainUnknownLevel0'' has reached 1,474,611 words as of April 2017, and is the longest ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' fanfiction on fanfiction.net.
* ''FanFic/PrinceOfTheDarkKingdom'': At 142 chapters and 1,181,731 words certainly qualifies. A ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fic.
* ''Fanfic/YuGiOhForever'', which lives up to its name; it's a whopping ''321 chapters, 937,873 words, long.'' It also has a sequel, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5893795/1/YuGiOh_Eternal Yu-Gi-Oh Eternal,]]'' which is 70 chapters, 451,622 words, long.
* The ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/TheLife'' is 230 chapters long, with 1,622,859 words in total. WordOfGod originally stated that the story would end at over twice its then-current length back when it was 550,000 words; it ended up being nearly triple that. As of August 2016, it remains the longest story in the ''Halo'' fanfiction.net archive.
* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Skin}}'', as of March 2014, has passed 1.8 million words.
* ''Fanfic/SoulChess'' is complete at 208 chapters and over ''1,700,000 words''.
* The ''[[FanFic/TheNewTrialsOfCardCaptorSakura The New trials of Card Captor Sakura and friends]]'', a ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'' fiction that has almost 2 million words, featuring the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters entire returning casts of CCS as well as hundreds of original characters introduced in the story]]. The story features Sakura and Syaoran as they attempt to seal the dark forces as well learning more about their parents past while striving to understand the future for them and their friends.
* ''Fanfic/UnequallyRationalAndEmotional'' certainly isn't short in the ''[[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Negima]]'' section, at 1,221,218 words as of chapter 48.
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1753484/1/RockmanEXE_The_College_Years RockmanEXE: The College Years]]'' comes in at over 1,000,000 words in 280 chapters. It's about three times longer than any other single fic in the Megaman category.
* ''[[http://ficwad.com/story/213011 Eroninja]]'' currently clocks in at 70 chapters and just under 1,500,000 words. The side-story ''[[http://ficwad.com/story/214155 Eroninja: The Limelight]]'' adds almost another 100,000. Both stories are still going strong and the author intends to write at least [[UpToEleven two sequels]].
* The RecursiveFanfiction ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'' has passed the original ''Fallout Equestria'', has been completed with over 1.7 million words. Unlike plenty of other long fanfics, it's not due to {{Padding}}; both this story and the original have editors and are regarded as good quality works.
* ''Fanfic/AshesOfThePast'', a ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime fanfiction, clocks in at 1,143,771 words and still ongoing as of November 2016.
* While the ''FanFic/BloomingMoonChronicles'' are a doorstopper as a whole, two stories from the series deserve special mention: ''Glory Be'', with 1,039,124 words, and ''Hecate's Orphanage'', with 1,149,615. (It should be noted that these wordcounts are taken from the version published on Website/FimfictionDotNet. The fanfiction.net publications have a few thousand words extra.)
* ''Fanfic/StarlightOverDetrot'' (as of January 2017) clocks in at 103 chapters and over 1,019,952 words, and is 28 chapters into its third (and possibly final) act.
* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/stories/relevance?search=Silver+Glow%27s+Journal Silver Glow's Journal]]'' follows a pegasus college student from the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' universe through a year-long foreign exchange program on Earth. It wrapped up at 379 chapters (styled as short jounal entries) and 1,000,907 words.
* The ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' fanfic ''Fanfic/Digimon02TheStoryWeNeverTold'' was completed at 70 chapters long, with 1,047,607 words.

[[folder:Over 1,000,000 words (series)]]
* Fanfic/TheCalvinverse is a very long series, with over 1,000,000 words spread across its several stories... and that's only counting the official stories!
** ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' alone has over 700,000 words spread out over 100 episodes.
* The ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/2124/trixies-magic-bit Trixieverse]]'' series exceeds 1,000,000 words in seven successive books, each one focussing on different character arcs and situations but continuing the larger narrative.
* The ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fanfic trilogy ''Fanfic/MassVexations'' clocks in at just under 1.4 million words. Across the entire series, two of the installments clock in at just over 600,000 words.
* The ''Fanfic/TotalDramaComebackSeries'' is composed of the first saga, one of the only complete alternate-seasons at over 400,000 words, and the second fic ''Total Drama Battlegrounds'' is set to at least triple that amount with double the contestants. This is over a million words for a kids' show.
* The ''Fanfic/AlbusPotterSeries'', consisting of 7 "books", clocks in at over 1,120,000 words, about 50,000 words longer than the actual Harry Potter series.
* ''Fanfic/IronHearts'', each of the chapters in this [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP]] and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' crossover series is well over 100,000 words, with most topping 200,000 by a fair margin. Altogether, the series is roughly 1,400,000 words as of April 26 2016.
* The six-season ''Fanfic/TotalShuffledIslandSeries'' is expected to approach 1.5 million words upon completion. The shortest finished season clocks in at about 190,000 words including author's notes, and a couple top 300K.
* As of July 2016, the series ''Fanfic/DownToAgincourt'' is more than 1,000,000 words in length (and that's only the first four books of a projected nine)!
[[folder:Over 500,000 words (single)]]
* Naruto fanfic ''Fanfic/BetterLeftUnsaid'', at over 950,000 words as of 2016.
* Another example of long Harry Potter fanfic is ''Hogwarts Exposed'', a fanfic coming in at over 700,000 words. It would be much shorter if not for the rampant [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundancy]] and {{filler}}, of course.
* ''FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'' is 755,729 words long. It shows, too; each chapter is a veritable mountain of text. ''The prologue'' clocks in at about 54 pages in Word-format.
* The ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'' is 508,921 words in length. ''Fanfic/TiberiumWars'', by the same author, looks like its going to run a risk of hitting this as well, as it is only seventeen chapters long at this point but is clocking in at over 150,000 words, and canonically, it hasn't even finished the first of the actual game's ''five'' acts.
* ''[[http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php?id=49664&submit=View Par Tout Autre Nom,]]'' a ''crossover'' between Manga/InuYasha and Manga/YuYuHakusho is 500,000+ words and seems nowhere near done.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7422125/1/Nightfall Nightfall,]]'' a ''Naruto'' fanfic about Naruto gaining the Rinnegan is over 700,000 words, 146 chapters, and still going strong.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9443327/1/ A Third Path to the Future]]'' a ''Harry Potter'' and ''Marvel'' crossover that clocks at 829,759 words and only 21 chapters. It's been recently updated and shows no sign of stopping.
* tracefan's ''FanFic/TheDarknessWithin'', presently having over 650,000 words. It doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.
* The ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ADifferentLesson''. As originally posted, over 1100 pages; a smaller font sized version runs around 550 pages. 45 chapters, 632,000 words. And amazingly, very little of it is filler; there's just that much going on.
* ''FanFic/NobodyDies''. 105 chapters and 626,466 words as of this writing, and will likely hit 150 chapters before its run is up.
* 174 Chapters, 548,269 words, presenting the ''Franchise/{{Bratz}}'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5203235/1/Blast_To_The_Past Blast To The Past.]]''
* ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'': At the time of the [[AuthorExistenceFailure author's death]], the story is 632 ''thousand'' words. 1000+ A4 pages, if you planed on printing it, ''and the story is still not finished...''[[note]]But of course it will probably never be finished now, thanks to the AuthorExistenceFailure.[[/note]]
* ''[[FanFic/UltimateSleepwalker Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' ended in December 2016 at 115 chapters and 663,326 words in total. ''[[FanFic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'', a companion series set in the same universe, is currently at 530,296 words and 89 chapters, and is ongoing.
* HVK's ''FanFic/KingdomCrossovers''. Back when it was over 500,000 words, it was still in Traverse Town, promising an ArcFatigue probably worse than the [[Anime/DragonBallZ Namek Saga]]. Currently it is over 900,000 words long.
* ''Fanfic/DragonAgeTheCrownOfThorns'', with 900,000 words as of December 2014.
* ''FanFic/AGrowingAffection'' is over 680,000 words long. At one point it was only the fifth longest ''Anime/{{Naruto}}'' fanfic on fanfiction.net.
* The ''Anime/CodeGeass'' fanfic ''{{Dauntless}}''. It started in July 2010; by January 2012, it was at over 539,000 words in 77 chapters, and usually updated at an average of once every 8-10 days. The author believed that she ''might'' finish sometime in 2012. She didn't, and it's still ongoing. As of December 2014 it is 97 chapters long and over 660,000 words.
* ''FanFic/ThisPlatinumCrown'' is 847,983 words as of April 2016 and still not finished. Add to that that's it's a sequel to ''FanFic/TheBestNightEver'', which is comparatively short at 53,935 words.

At 105 chapters and over 900,000 words, the story is still not finished. Granted, the sheer length may be due to writing a fully original Persona-esque story and not basing it on any of the canon games.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' fanfic ''FanFic/ImperfectMetamorphosis''. As of December 2014 it sits at a whopping 877,840 words - and isn't even finished yet.
* ''The WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic ''FanFic/TheEndOfPonies'' is already longer than the entire ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'' trilogy. And it's not even finished yet.
* ''FanFic/ThreeSlytherinMarauders'' currently weighs in at 139 chapters with over 560,000 words and is yet unfinished.

* ''FanFic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'' finished in 2015 with just over 660,000 words. In addition, at the end of chapter 113 the author challenged the readers to figure out how Harry could get out of a seemingly hopeless situation by posting their guess as a review, and threatened to give them a bad ending if no-one came up with a viable solution. There were so many entries sent in that within 40 hours the comment section was longer than any of the canon books, and [[GoneHorriblyRight he had to appeal to the fans to try and help sort them out]].
* By the time [[Tropers/UltraSonic007 UltraSonic007's]] ''Digimon'' FixFic ''FanFic/Zero2ARevision'' is finished, the story tops at 583,698 words in 60 chapters.
* ''[[FanFic/SovereignGFCOrigins Origins]]'', a ''MassEffect''[=/=]''StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]''[=/=]''[=Halo=]'']] crossover, finished at roughly 621,000 words across 101 chapters (the longest being 13,000 words alone).

The author originally planned the story to be 100 chapters... yeah, right, it has gone pretty far beyond that. As of Oct. 2013 it is over 130 chapters and has broken 900,000 words. At least it's finally approaching the FinalBattle... very slowly, that is. The crazier thing is that the author had also been planning to write a {{Prequel}} detailing the backstories of some of the [=OCs=] in this fic, but scrapped that idea as it would take too much time. The important parts of this planned prequel were incorporated into the fic as flashbacks. The story finally wrapped up at 986,000+ words and 140 chapters on October 3, 2015.
* ''FanFic/ItsNotTheRaptorDNA'' is the longest ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' fic on Fanfiction.net at 520,547 words and counting.

* [=ScytheRider's=] ''FanFic/PokemonMysteryDungeonSilverResistance'' weighing in at 728,981 words (as of November 2016).
* ''FanFic/TheLongRoad'', a ''Manga/DragonBall'' fanfiction, clocks in at just over 700,000 words ''and counting''. One of the most recent chapters singlehandedly clocked in at ''40,000'' words alone, which is a pretty decent number for a single fanfiction.
* ''FanFic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': A ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'' and ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' crossover. It's over 810,000 words and still going.
* ''Roleplay/DigimonWorldInfamy'' is currently at around 500,000 words (as of May 2017). Impressive given that it started in Feburary 2017 and updates daily.
* ''Fanfic/SailorMoonZ'' may only have had 25 chapters, but when the later chapters are themselves the length short novels (Episode 20 alone is 56,000 words long), the fic still is still well over 650,000 words in total.
* The ''Manga/DragonBallZ'' fanfic ''Fanfic/BreakThroughTheLimit'', which surpasses 850000 words in length. Though then again, some chapters have a rather lengthy Q&A section.
[[folder:Over 500,000 words (series)]]
* Razor Knight's ''Cyber Moon'', a ''Franchise/SailorMoon''-based epic trilogy, parts [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3214362/1/Cyber_Moon_Part_1_Genesis one,]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3214402/1/Cyber_Moon_Part_2_Chronicles two]] and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4639525/1/Cyber_Moon_Part_3_Crystal three.]] Total length: over 600,000 words.

However, put all 5 stories together, and you have a solid series just measuring over 500,000 words.

* While we're at it, one particularly high quality fanfic in the ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' section is ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3849671/1/SWAT_Kats_Endgame Endgame]]'', which is now completed at 473,822 words and 70 chapters! (for those who beancount, that's 6768.8 words per chapter nearly) as of November 13, 2010. And [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/556935/KantoTheSlayer the author]] has no intention of quitting now. Good thing it's an action fic rather than furporn. Now, the sequel, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6474870/1/MegaKat_Shield MegaKat Shield]]'' is underway!
* Thunderblade's ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1605452/1/Battle_of_the_Sacred_Essences Battle of the Sacred Essences]]'' is "only" 252,754 words but it still comes out in excess of 400 pages when printed.

* ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/ShardsOfMemory'' ended at 41 chapters and over 275,000 words. The epilogue itself almost hits 17,000 words, twice the length of even the longest chapters up until then.
* The appropriately named ''Dissidia'' fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6998997/63/An-Unending-Struggle "An Unending Struggle"]] is up to 360,000 words over 63 chapters, and is still going.

* The ''Franchise/DragonAge'' fanfic ''Fanfic/MiddleOfNowhere'' is well over 400,000 words and is still being regularly updated. At the pace it's going it should finish around 500,000 words.
* Superstarultra's ''FanFic/YouGotHaruhiRolled''. Over 300,000 words long and still not done. Even more amazing, it's currently 86 chapters long, but individual chapters were still pretty short until chapter 72. A very large percentage of its length is in the last few chapters.
* ''FanFic/ConstantTemptation'', a ''Manga/DeathNote'' fanfic has 102 chapters and is over 300,000 words. That's not counting the Sequel and the Deleted Scenes...
* ''Fanfic/{{Hitchups}}'' is 40 chapters long, with 307,928 words that make up the entirety of the fic.

* Another ''Frozen'' fanfic, ''Fanfic/FrozenWight'' is 82 chapters and over 310,000 words long. ''And'' it has sequel fics, albiet ones much shorter in length than the original fic.
* ''FanFic/ADelicateBalance'' is a deliberately paced [=TwiJack=] fic that takes its time. At 36 chapters and 289,001 words long, it's been completed.

* What many consider one of the best ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''/''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' crossover fanfics, ''[[FanFic/MarioAndSonicHeroesUnite Mario and Sonic: Heroes Unite!]]'', is now complete after several years in the making. Its final stats are 371,110 words and exactly 100 chapters spawning three sagas. Sure, not quite as extensive as some other examples, but still impressive.
* Russian fanfic ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8237857/chapters/18878848/ Black Book of Reverse Falls]]'' is up to 267,000 words over 64 chapters, and is still going.

It has, however, went on a permanent hiatus because the author found it too hard to find his way around the convoluted plot.
* ''FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire'' is already over 60 chapters and is at nearly 370,000 words. However, it has not been updated since May 2012.

* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/19247/green Green]]'' is an exceptionally long fic focusing on a romance between Rarity and Fluttershy, among other pairings. It's still unfinished at 359,441 words as of April 2016.
* As of December 2015, ''Fanfic/RitesOfAscension'' is over 300K words long- and WordOfGod is that it is not even halfway through the second of five projected books.
* ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfTotalDramaIsland'', a reimagining of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'''s first season, is on course to be around 400,000 words upon completion. The author has a [[DescriptionPorn richly descriptive]] style, and a high word count is the price of that.
* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/78420/reharmony Re:Harmony]]'' is an AlternateUniverseFic of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' that, as of April 2016, has run over 400,000 words without finishing.
* The shortest completed ''Fanfic/PokeWars'' arc by Cornova is ''The Incipience'' at 48,468 words long. Cornova's canon works ''alone'' add up to 365,080 words. And they are still ongoing as of November 2016.
* The longest ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fics on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn are:
** ''Fanfic/BackToUs'', at 444,477 words spanning 36 chapters (a one-shot {{interquel}}, ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8316991 What Are Friends For?]]'', adds another 6252, while another side-story, [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/11383557 Not Your Choice]]'' adds another 1357).

** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5575858 A Witch's Familiar]]'' is in third place at over 256,000 words spanning 56 chapters so far.
* ''FanFic/InvaderZimTheSeries'' clocks in at 429,062 words.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Under 250,000 words]]
* ''FanFic/PokemonMaster'' is a door-stopper of a HighFantasy and a DarkFic to boot.
* The ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1153636/ Whisper of the Heart]]'' trilogy by Saddletank can almost fill a large sized binder when printed out using the default formatting.
* ''FanFic/TheDreamlandStory''. It's 87 (gradually-increasing-in-length) chapters, and 140,168 words, long, made even crazier by the fact that it's a ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' fanfic. (And it ''works!'')
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' fic ''Fanfic/TwilightValley'' is a small doorstopper at 177,877 words.
* The ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpa'' fanfic ''Fanfic/DespairsLastResort'' is, as of December 2014, 51 parts long and is over 180,000 words long. What makes this impressive is how the author has been writing this since May 24, 2014 and has managed to upload around one or two chapters per week since then. And each chapter has around 3,000 words at least.
* ''Fanfic/TotalDramaIslandByGilbertAndSullivan'' is a borderline case. Although it's "only" about 120,000 words including the supplemental materials, the PDF version clocks in at right around 500 pages because so much of its content is poetry (song lyrics) which is notorious for using page space inefficiently. The 700 ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Island'' screenshots put a goodly percentage of that white space to use, though.
* ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5626292/ Re: Yin Yang Who?]]'' is currently eighteen chapters long with over 220,000 words in over five hundred pages and counting; even so, it hasn't been completed... yet.
* The ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' fan fic ''[[FanFic/TamersForeverSeries Silent Sorrow]]'' is over 600 pages in length, or just over 180,000 words. What's truly amazing is that it has absolutely '''''NO''''' {{Filler}} or {{Padding}} whatsoever.
* ''Fanfic/TheElementsOfFriendship, Book I: Harmony'' is an AU of the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' that expands the struggle against [=NightMare=] Moon to a full epic, coming in just shy of 250,000 words. The kicker? It's the first of a planned series, meaning we might be seeing some full blown ArchivePanic. So far, the only completed sequel has been the first interlude, ''Bonds'', which is only 45,000 words long... enough to qualify for a novel in its own right.
* ''FanFic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''MassEffect''[=/=]''StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]'']] [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] is "only" 100,000 words--but the sequel [[UpToEleven goes nuts]] being over four times longer and not even finished yet!
* ''FanFic/KyoshiRising'', a prequel to ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' focused on the titular former Avatar, is currently at 242,790 words, with an author's estimation of being only a little more than a third of the way done.
* ''FanFic/MythsAndBirthrights'' is heading in this direction. Before the rewrites, it was just short of 250,000 words. Plus there's several (shorter, thankfully) side-stories.
* ''FanFic/ProjectSunflower'' is another ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fic that reached 242,202 words. Its sequel has broken 100,000 words as of April 2016 and is still ongoing.
* ''FanFic/UnderTheNorthernLights'', as of April 2016, is almost finished at 214,532 words.
* ''Fanfic/LongRoadToFriendship'' ended at 42 chapters and 219,811 words. The author plans a sequel.
* ''Fanfic/{{Asylum}}'', as of May 2016, has 191,704 words, and still isn't finished.
* The longest ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' story in Spanish is ''Total Drama: World Tour Express'', a sequel to the third season of the series, with nearly 200,000 words. Its sequel, Total Drama: Back to School! already has nearly 100,000 words and it's only in its midpoint.
* ''Fanfic/PowersOfInvisibility'' is the second longest completed ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' story on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn at 246,310 words and it's currently in fourth place overall. A sequel and some one-shot followups have been announced.

[[folder:Unsorted]]
* The released chapters of ''Fanfic/MisfiledDreams'' run 611 pages, including 2 blank pages in the first chapter and 6 pages of art. The ''unreleased'' (and unedited) chapters run another 454 pages.
* ''FanFic/TheUnitySaga'', a ''Star Wars''/''Star Trek'' crossover that runs a total of 250 chapters. Most of the chapters have a manageable size, but the final entries in each of the six parts suddenly balloon to a very intimidating length.
* ''Fanfic/RhymeAndReason'' was not only the first fanfic based on ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' and has always been considered one of the best, but with 158,492 words, it also used to be the longest and definitely considered a Doorstopper. But then, after seven years of on-and-off work, ''Gadget in Chains'' was completed. It stands at 402,670 words.
** The Russian original of ''Offensive Care'' has 176,362 words. The author's own English translation grew slightly beyond 200,000 words.
* ''[[FanFic/TeachingDarkness Teaching Darkness: Memories]]'' by RaeLogan, is over 206,000 words, and itself is PART 5 in a series, with the previous story at only a little over 52,000 (at least a quarter of its sequel's size!) and the currently in progress part 6 at over 137,000 as of January 27th, 2012. The fanfic series itself has sidestories (for ideas decidedly too short compared to the main stories to focus a multichapter story around, regarded as a different canon, except maybe the ''Twilight Zone''-esque one), about seven posted scrapped unfinished stories (released as Deleted Scenes), and several fan written stories, which, if compiled into one volume would be considered a Doorstopper. Sometimes jokingly referred to [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative THE Largest Fanfic Series Centered Around A Scrapped Character In A Game That Never Happened]]. Who? Mephiles the Dark from [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic Next Gen]]... VERY loosely.
* ''Fanfic/ThawingPermafrost'' is by no means a titan like the rest on this list, but it still qualifies as a door-stopper and the longest Mizore-centric fic in the ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' category (35 chapters across 518 pages, according to the author.)
** ''Fanfic/HereInMyArms'' is at least two and a half times as long, in the same fandom.
* ''Fanfic/BloodThatFlows'' is, without a question, the longest ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' fanfic on Fanfiction.net. Over 300 chapters alone and over 720,000 words. The only ''Nanoha'' fanfic that comes close is the ''FanFic/DevaSeries'', where, if you add up all four parts, there are more words than ''Blood That Flows'', but it still has less chapters. Of course, the latter is a pure ''Nanoha'' AlternateUniverseFic, while the former is a crossover with ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' that pulls plotlines from both series.
* ''Fanfic/TheNeoDominoPurge'' is putting up a challenge for the longer ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' fanfics - currently at 364,981 from 36 chapters. And still ''setting up the Dark Signer arc''. TheRemake is 94,882 words from 6 chapters. Altogether; 459,863 and counting.
** From the same author, ''Fanfic/{{Override}}'', a ''Anime/CardfightVanguard'' fanfic weighing at just under 160,000 words from just 11 chapters, giving it a greater average words per chapter than the first version of ''Neo-Domino Purge''. And it's just getting started. Judging by the author's writing, it won't be long before it climbs into the same kind of league as the above.
* A kitten!fic trilogy, focusing on the Akatsuki from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', clocks in at over 700,000 words, starting with ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6603075/1/Consider-Yourselves-Kitties Consider Yourselves Kitties]]''. This is notable because kitten!fics have a tendency to [[StillbornSerial peter out after the first few chapters]], even more so than most fics.
* While the first Volume of ''FanFic/TSATheAmazingSpiderman'' is only 50,000 words long, Volume 2 is over 800,000 words long and 70 chapters in and not yet finished. The story will continue with Volumes 3 and 4, so it will likely reach two million words. This is justifable as it is a complete retelling of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'', which is 50 years of storylines to draw from.
** Also worth noting is that the author typically updates once a week, with most chapters going over 10,000 words.
* ''Fanfic/HorseshoesAndHandGrenades'' and stories relating to it have a combined total of 327,195 words with most of them not even finished and most likely more stories on the horizon.
* The ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/LikeOneSunderedStar'' is 700,000 words long as of Chapter 17, not counting its 90,000+ word "intermission fic". WordOfGod says that the main story is not even at its halfway point and that there will be at least one more intermission.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3703685/1/Family Family]]'' by The Middle Warner Sibling, an ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' fanfiction following the lives of the Warner Siblings within an AnimatedActor universe, has a completed total of 763,370 words. However, if taking into account the side-story ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4638224/1/Friends Friends]]'', which contains some particularly imperative plot points in the context of ''Family'', the two add up a total of 966,373 words for the universe as a whole.
* ''TheMobiusChronicles'' is currently two-and-a-half books and over 1,000 pages long, and the author reckons he has "multiple books" left to go.
* The entire ''Fanfic/Gensokyo20XX'' series is about is about 343,453 words long, with one story in particular being about 120 chapters.
* As of June 11, 2017, ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' stands at 270,222 words, and it's barely begun. And that's just the main story; counting [[ExpandedUniverse the numerous spinoffs and tie-in oneshots set in the same continuity]], the number at least goes double.
