| 15 | [[folder:Single works over [=2,000,000=] words]] |
| 16 | * ''Fanfic/TheLoudHouseRevamped'', a ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' MassiveMultiplayerCrossover fanfic, dethroned ''Fanfic/AmbienceAFleetSymphony'' to become not just Platform/FanFictionDotNet's longest ongoing fanfiction, but the site's longest fanfic ever and the longest piece of literature ''in recorded history''. It was finished in February of 2024, sitting at over 34.8 million words across 2,328 chapters. It's actually so long that ''it broke Fanfiction.net's word count''; meaning that other methods are needed to count words, as the site can't display anything higher than 16,777,215 (the site uses 24-bit integers). For the curious: it's a self-insert fanfic wherein the protagonist joins with the Loud House to combat evil forces. Most of the text, however, is in script format and consists of one-liners and [[UsefulNotes/{{Plagiarism}} copy-pasted fan wiki entries]]. |
| 17 | * The longest fanfic on Japanese fanfiction archive Hameln is ''Fanfic/TenseiTrouble'' ([[https://syosetu.org/novel/179815/ Link]]), and it stands as a reminder that absurdly long fanfics aren't limited to English: as of 20 September 2020 its length is 2985 chapters and '''15,260,785 characters''', making it far longer than any of the other fanfics on this page even after correcting for the difference in word density when translating from Japanese to English. The fic updates daily. |
| 18 | * ''Fanfic/HarryAndTheShipgirls'', a ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' and ''VideoGame/{{KanColle}}'' crossover, has well exceeded 9 ''million'' words and is updating daily. No one knows the exact length for two reasons: |
| 19 | ** The sites where the story is hosted, Spacebattles and Sufficient Velocity, only assign word counts to content with a threadmark attached to it, and the story has moved too quickly for the person responsible for threadmarks to keep up. |
| 20 | ** Each site has a number of authors who post content exclusively to that site, further complicating record-keeping. |
| 21 | * As of March 2024, ''[[Fanfic/FutureShockCameron Future Shock - Cameron]]'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15287826 link]]), a ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' fanfic, clocks in at 8,456,553 words spread out over 1,615 chapters. It is the longest fanfic hosted on Archive of Our Own. |
| 22 | * As of November 2023, ''Fanfic/AtTheEdgeOfLasglen'', a ''Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium'' fanfic, clocks in at 6,343,440 words spread out over 351 chapters and is the second longest fanfic hosted on Archive of Our Own. It helps that it's written by a couple of authors rather than just one. |
| 23 | * ''Fanfic/EverythingChanges'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/1825198 link]][[note]]Requires an account to access[[/note]]), a Formula 1 RealPersonFic, is the third longest work on Archive of our Own, at 5,600,926 words over 505 chapters (as of January 2023), and it's still being updated. |
| 24 | * ''Fanfic/OffToTheRaces'' is the fourth longest fanfic hosted on Archive of Our Own, with 5,519,825 words across 1,075 chapters as of July 2023. |
| 25 | * As of November 24, 2022, counting at 5,007,400 words and updated weekly ''Fanfic/SmashLife'' has become the longest VideoGame/SuperSmashBros fanfic, surpassing ''Worlds Conquest''. For those who are curious: It's a documentary-style semi-reality show that deals with the life of the brawlers inside the Smash Mansion. |
| 26 | * As of October 2023, ''[[Fanfic/TheShiningEyesFearOfAHerobrinePart2 The Shining Eyes (Fear of a Herobrine part 2)]]'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17046851 link]]) is the fifth longest fanfic hosted on Archive of Our Own, clocking in at 4,620,924 words spread out over 792 chapters. |
| 27 | * ''Fanfic/{{Death|Tmb1112}}'', a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfiction, has 4,479,292 words across 259 chapters. This makes it the third longest fanfiction on Platform/FanFictionDotNet. The story grew to over 1,000,000 words within its first four months. Many of the chapters published in 2020-2021 exceeded 40,000 words each, with Chapter 233 being a whopping 152,877 words. |
| 28 | * ''Fanfic/TheSubspaceEmissarysWorldsConquest'' was for many years the longest (non-troll) fanfiction on the Platform/FanFictionDotNet site, and as of 12 June 2018 contains 221 chapters consisting of ''4,102,328'' words. 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. |
| 29 | * On 17th June 2017, ''Fanfic/AmbienceAFleetSymphony'' reached 4,061,145 words, replacing ''Fanfic/TheSubspaceEmissarysWorldsConquest'' as Platform/FanFictionDotNet's longest ongoing fanfiction, and as of 24th January 2020, it is sitting at an even longer 4,102,328 words long. Having been first published on 8th May 2014, it was at one point the fastest-growing fanfiction on the site, with the author consistently putting out chapters near or exceeding 10,000 words every other day between the start of 2016 and mid-2017. |
| 30 | * ''Fanfic/{{SAPR}}'' is a crossover between ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' that has passed 1.2 million words as of the first of January, 2020, and it continues to be updated. As of March 2024 the story has reached 3,904,406 words. The author claims that he mentally divides up sections of the fic into different books, but no such indexing exists on the chapter titles, and on the three websites it is uploaded to it only has a singular listing. |
| 31 | * ''Fanfic/HugsAndKisses'' ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2094087/1/Hugs-and-Kisses link]]) is a fanfic featuring Wrestling/ChrisJericho and Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon... which on 1 April 2014 quietly sneaked 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. |
| 32 | * ''Fanfic/CCWCharacterChampionshipWrestling'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/992851/chapters/1961979 link]]) is the longest GenFic on Platform/ArchiveOfOurOwn. As of its last update on 4 December 2017 it is 229 chapters and 3,817,471 words long. |
| 33 | * ''Fanfic/WithThisRing'' is a ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' self-insert fanfiction which deals with a character with significant knowledge of the DC universe who gains an Orange Power Ring. As of Aug 2021, it is over 3.6 million words long, and has been updating daily for the past several years. |
| 34 | * ''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 {{Original Character}}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... |
| 35 | * ''Fanfic/ACertainUnknownLevel0'' has reached 3,313,215 words as of March 2023, and is by far the longest ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' fanfiction on fanfiction.net. Spread over 176 chapters, it boasts an average count of more than 18,000 words per chapter. |
| 36 | ** Chapters in recent arcs rarely contain fewer than 20,000 words (and more than 30,000 on occasion), which is down in part to the author writing responses to all those who leave comments (some of them ''very'' detailed). |
| 37 | ** The infamously lengthy Uiharu Kazari arc alone has over 1 million words. |
| 38 | * ''Fanfic/DiariesOfAMadman'', which as of November 2022, is over 3.2 million words, holding the title of the longest fic on [=FIMFiction=], with no sign of slowing down anytime soon. As of March 2024, it is sitting at 3,297,561 words, the last update was in June 2023, and it has fallen to fifth longest on the site. |
| 39 | * ''Fanfic/FreakinGensokyo'' is a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fanfic, which, as of March 2023, has 165 chapters consisting of ''2,668,064'' words. It's way more than the author expected, as he wanted to end the fanfic at either 1,000,000 words mark or 100 chapters. It is the longest Franchise/TouhouProject fanfic on Platform/FanFictionDotNet. |
| 40 | * ''Fanfic/SenranPersonaNinjasOfHearts'', which reaches 2,650,549, is, so far, the longest ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' and ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' crossover as of November 2023 (and perhaps the longest ''Senran Kagura'' story), and is still ongoing. |
| 41 | * ''Fanfic/TheseBlackEyes'' ([[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4778437/1/These_Black_Eyes_Ag_Re_Post_Ing_r link]]) in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' 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. |
| 42 | * ''Fanfic/OfKeysAndHammers'' ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13658054/1/ link]]) is a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' crossover that's currently over 2,476,000 words and ''still'' updating. |
| 43 | * ''Fanfic/BraveNewWorldPokemon'' currently stands at 2,404,050 words. |
| 44 | * ''Fanfic/{{The Chase|MyLittlePony}}'' clocks in at 2,345,261 words ''(contained within over 800 chapters)'' as of November 2016. As of March 2024 there have been no further updates. |
| 45 | * ''Fanfic/AThirdPathToTheFuture'' ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9443327/1/ link]]) a ''Harry Potter'' and ''Marvel'' crossover that clocks in at 2,287,447 words as of February 2023. It's updated regularly, still shows no sign of slowing down, and maintains a high quality. |
| 46 | ** Author Vimesenthusiast not only has Third Path, but also regularly updates four fanfics of over a million words, one at over three quarter of a million, and another five at over a quarter of a million. This not counting the FINISHED works. |
| 47 | * ''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. |
| 48 | * ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsFriendshipSouls'': A FusionFic between ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''. After seven years it counts 2,179,486 words (2,321,304 with a finished crossover story) and keeps being updated regularly every 2-3 weeks. |
| 49 | * ''Fanfic/SongsOfTheSpheres'' is a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover that was completed on April 20th, 2020 with 2,027,047 words under its belt. |
| 50 | * A Spanish-language ''Manga/CandyCandy'' fic titled ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6761776/1/El-amor-es-una-cosa-simple Love is a simple thing]]'' is a story that got to '''254''' chapters and over '''2 million''' words... [[DeadFic only to stop updating in February 2014]]. |
| 51 | * The same creator of ''Fanfic/SoulChess'' brought us ''Fanfic/FairyWithoutWings''. While ''Soul Chess'' did not break 2,000,000 words (see below) this one did and is ''still ongoing''. |
| 52 | [[/folder]] |
| 53 | |
| 54 | [[folder:Series of works with over [=2,000,000=] words total]] |
| 55 | * ''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 subpages for any compilation with more than 20 chapters; ''Fanfic/TheMLPLoops'' obviously enough, ''Fanfic/ThePokemonLoops'', ''Fanfic/TheRWBYLoops'', ''Fanfic/TheWinxClubLoops''... |
| 56 | * As of November 2016, all the works (including non-canon) in the ''Fanfic/PokeWars'' added up to a total of 4,813,057 words. |
| 57 | * ''[[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. |
| 58 | * The 10 core stories of [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/48437/BlackRoseRaven BlackRoseRaven's]] fusion of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and Myth/NorseMythology referred to as the ''Fanfic/BloomingMoonChronicles'' or the ''99 Worlds Saga'' total ''4,440,855 words''. That doesn't even count the various sequels or side stories (most of the author's other entries tie in to TheVerse). |
| 59 | * [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4923772/Nan-the-Keyblade-Master Nan the Keyblade Master]]'s ''[[Fanfic/SuperRWBYSisters Super RWBY Universe]]'', as of December 16, 2022, consists of twenty-nine stories, eight one-shots, one spin-off chibi story, a story that is a collection of anthology stories, two April Fools' Day one shots, a Halloween one-shot that is no longer canon, a PSA story and a what if story collection that opens up the multiverse for Super RWBY Sisters. Altogether, this brings the word count to 4,106,735 words in total, making it one of the largest crossover, multi-story universes. |
| 60 | * The ''Fanfic/{{Austraeoh}}'' series. While each story has 200 chapters except for the last two stories which are longer, they are very short, usually no more than one or two thousand words. Still, as of March 2021, the entire nonalogy clocks in at above 3,900,000 words so far, and the author is planning on several more parts. |
| 61 | * [[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2840566 The Kismet Trilogy]] has only had two of the three works completed, and is already at over 3.7 million words. ''A Second Chance'' alone is the longest ''Harry Potter'' fic hosted on Platform/ArchiveOfOurOwn! |
| 62 | * ''Fanfic/ShardsToAWhole'' ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8935062/1/Shards-To-A-Whole link]]) is an ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' fanfic centering around [=McGee=] and Abby but extended to show Team Gibbs evolving into [[TrueCompanions The Gibbs Family]]. On December 23rd, 2017, the story was marked as complete with a word count of 2,965,445 words spread out over 609 chapters. Then, of course, there's ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10113704/1/Shards Shards]]'', an alternate universe story which [[DeadFic died]] after 681,827 words spread out over 140 chapters; "Shards" picks up after chapter 290 of ''[=StaW=]'' and was written for readers who wanted to follow the plot beats of the main story without dealing with a primary plotline of ''[=StaW=]'''s later chapters, [[spoiler:in which Tim and Abby [=McGee=] and Jimmy and Breena Palmer [[{{Polyamory}} enter into a long-term four-way romantic relationship]]]]. Altogether, the stories amass a total of 3,647,272 words. |
| 63 | * The longest ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' fanfiction series so far is ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/1093419 Dangan Box]]'', which is a crossover between the franchise and ''Manga/MedakaBox'', totaling at 3,632,056 words and still counting. |
| 64 | * A ''Manga/Reborn2004'' 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. |
| 65 | * ''Fanfic/LatiasJourney'', weighs 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. |
| 66 | * ''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''. |
| 67 | * ''FanFic/XCOMTheHadesContingency'', as well as its two sequels (''[[FanFic/XCOMTheAtlasProtocol Atlas Protocol]]'' and ''[[FanFic/XCOMTheAdventDirective Advent Directive]]'') have a total word count of 2.6M words as of April 2022. If one adds ''The XCOM Files'' to that, the word count jumps up to 3.5M words. |
| 68 | * The ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries''. Altogether, the completed seasons and side-stories total 3,101,014 words.[[note]]This total does not include the non-canon Fourth Wall Variety Show stuff.[[/note]] Imagine a binding of that. |
| 69 | ** 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 Season 8 ending at 924,583 words. |
| 70 | ** ''Fanfic/PinkiePiesFourthWallVarietyShow'', a non canon Pony POV series, had all its episodes collected together on [=FIMFiction=]. The end result was another 423,287 words on top of everything else. |
| 71 | * 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. |
| 72 | * The ''Ben 10 RWBY'' series is perhaps one of the longest {{Crossover}} [[FusionFic Fusion fics]] in both sections. The first volume, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13050256/1/Ben-10-RWBY-Volume-1-Dimension-Twist Dimension Twist]]'', clocks in at 1,680,368 words, and the ongoing (as of May 2023) second volume, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13854784/1/Ben-10-RWBY-Volume-2-Ultimate-Omniverse Ultimate Omniverse]]'' is at 892,330 words, for a total word count of 2,572,698. It's one of the longest ''Ben 10'' and ''RWBY'' crossovers, but it then wedges in a third franchise into the mix midway with [[spoiler: ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'']]. |
| 73 | * 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. |
| 74 | * At 2.2 million words and counting, [[https://archiveofourown.org/series/1340026 To Be Human]] is a five-part ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' fanfiction series centering around Natasha Romanoff, and it's still ongoing as of October 2020. All five installments qualify as Doorstoppers in their own right, with the incomplete fifth story clocking in at 340k, and all others clocking in north of 350k words. The third part is nearly 520k words, and the fourth part tops that at 660k words. Even more impressively, the author has proven highly prolific- the series only started in March of 2019. |
| 75 | * 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 word counts are taken from the version published on Platform/FimfictionDotNet. The fanfiction.net publications have a few thousand words extra.) %%Placing these here as the two stories mentioned add up to 2,188,739 words, plus most likely quite a few more. |
| 76 | * ''Fanfic/CantGoHomeAgain'' clocked in at 636,120 words when it came to an end in May of 2016. Ever since, the ''Home'' [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11958681/1/Can-t-Go-Home-Again series']] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12984297/1/Almost-Feels-Like-Home three]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13998534/1/Going-Home-in-a-Box stories]] have blasted past the two million words milestone, sitting, as of September 8th, 2023, at a grand total of ''2,156,867'' words ''and ongoing''. The third story, ''Going Home In A Box'', is as of this writing thirty chapters away from its' planned conclusion, and a fourth story, tentatively titled ''The Long Road Home'', is in the works. |
| 77 | * Before it was rebooted, the entire ''[[Fanfic/ANewHopeDanganronpa Legacy of Despair]]'' [[note]] the original timeline from A New Hope to Oasis of Despair [[/note]] totals over 2,019,894 words. It's more in line with the traditional killing game structure than ''Dangan Box'', mentioned above. |
| 78 | * ''Fanfic/TheFlashSentryChronicles'' currently has 23 completed stories in the series, two more in progress, and the final few stories planned. The series officially passed the 2 million word mark on August 19, 2021, with 2,004,599 words! |
| 79 | * ''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. |
| 80 | * ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' alone ends up being over 800,000 words long, and its first sequel ''Ghosts of the Past'' was well over 1,000,000 words on its own. Add in the spinoffs ''Chaos Reigns'' and ''Unfinished Business'', and the ongoing second sequel ''The Phoenix and the Serpent'', and the series as a whole is well over 2,000,000 words and counting. |

| 83 | [[folder:Single works with [=1,000,000=] to [=2,000,000=] words]] |
| 84 | * As of January 2023 ''Fanfic/{{Eroninja}}'' clocks in at 103 chapters and over 2,307,000 words. The side-story ''[[https://ficwad.com/story/214155 Eroninja: The Limelight]]'' adds over another 174,000. Both stories are still going strong and the author intends to write at least two sequels. |
| 85 | * The ''[[Fanfic/TheNewTrialsOfCardCaptorSakura The New trials of Card Captor Sakura and friends]]'', a ''Manga/CardCaptorSakura'' fiction that has almost 2 million words, featuring the 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 while learning more about their parents' past while striving to understand the future for them and their friends. |
| 86 | * ''Fanfic/AshesOfThePast'', a ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' fanfiction, is over 1,913,000 words long and still ongoing as of February 2021. |
| 87 | * ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13084488 Hotel for the Broken]]'' as of February 2021 is an A/B/O ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'' fanfiction with over 1.9 million words, making it the longest ''Haikyuu'' fanfiction on Archive of our Own. |
| 88 | * ''Fanfic/TaylorVarga'', a crossover between ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' and an obscure anime ''Luna Varga'' clocks in at 1.9 million words, and is still going strong as of January 2022. |

| 112 | * ''Fanfic/UnequallyRationalAndEmotional'' certainly isn't short in the ''[[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Negima]]'' section, at 1,273,186 words as of chapter 53. |
| 113 | * ''Fanfic/YetAgainWithALittleExtraHelp'' reached 1,262,281 words at its completion after approximately three years of work.

That being said, as Footloose is rewriting ''Loaded March'' as original fiction, the series is not likely to be updated. |
| 149 | * ''Fanfic/TheArithmancer'' and its sequel are over 500k words each, plus another 150k words for book 3, bringing the series total to nearly 1.3 million words. |
| 150 | * ''Fanfic/TheRigelBlackChronicles'' starts with "just" 220k words for book 1, but the succeeding books get longer and longer, with the fourth book being well over 400k and the whole series adding up to over 1.3 million words.

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. |
| 175 | * ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11546595 Blind Man's Bluff]]'' is a ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' Nick/Ellis fanfic that clocks to over 970,000 words, currently at ''316 chapters'' and counting. |

| 179 | * ''Fanfic/DragonAgeTheCrownOfThorns'', with 900,000 words as of December 2014. |
| 180 | * 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. |
| 181 | * ''[[Fanfic/PersonaDuality Persona]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8169196/1/Persona-Duality Duality]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/774317/Sraosha Sraosha]], a ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' series fanfic. 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. |
| 182 | * ''Fanfic/ThisPlatinumCrown'' is 887,118 words as of August 2019 and still not finished, though unfortunately, it appears to be [[DeadFic dead]]. Add to that that it's a sequel to ''Fanfic/TheBestNightEver'', which is comparatively short at 53,935 words. |

| 186 | * The ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' fanfic ''Fanfic/BreakThroughTheLimit'', which surpasses 850,000 words in length. Though then again, some chapters have a rather lengthy Q&A section. |
| 187 | * ''Fanfic/BloodThatFlows'' is, without a question, the longest ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' fanfic on Fanfiction.net. Over 300 chapters alone and over 830,000 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 fewer chapters. Of course, the latter is a pure ''Nanoha'' AlternateUniverseFic, while the former is a crossover with ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' that pulls plotlines from both series. |
| 188 | * The ''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfic ''Fanfic/AHeroRises'' sits at 817,220 words in length as of November 2023. |

This is notable because kitten fics have a tendency to [[OrphanedSeries peter out after the first few chapters]], even more so than most fics. |
| 206 | * ''Fanfic/HogwartsExposed'' comes in at over 700,000 words. It would be much shorter if not for the rampant [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundancy]] and {{filler}}, of course. |

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]]. |

| 234 | * ''Fanfic/EbottsWake'', an ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' fanfic, has a total of 598,884 words. Its actual plot probably isn't long enough to merit that, but it gets to be that long by mixing the action with SliceOfLife. |

| 253 | * ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'', a ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' fanfic, is 508,921 words in length. |
| 254 | ** ''Fanfic/TiberiumWars'', by the same author, looks like it's 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. |

| 432 | * As of March 2023, the ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' WhatIf fanfic ''Fanfic/LaterTraitor'' clocks in at 191,621 words spread out over 40 chapters. |
| 433 | * ''Fanfic/CorAutemAurora'', a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''/''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' FixFic, is at over 185,000 words as of July 2023. |
| 434 | * The ''Series/RedDwarf'' fanfic ''[[Fanfic/TheFiftyShadesSeries Fifty Shades Of Smeg]]'' The original fic comes in at a decent 120,158 words making it the third-largest Red Dwarf-related fanfic on [=A03=]. It's also the first in a series which has a total word count of 184,824 words. |
| 435 | * 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. |
| 436 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' fic ''Fanfic/TwilightValley'' is a small doorstopper at 177,877 words. |
| 437 | * The [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2018312/1/The-Starr-Chronicles original version]] of ''Fanfic/TheSuperStarrChronicles'' is nearly 175,000 words long and reached over 110 chapters before the author forgot about the story, rediscovered it, and decided to remake it. |
| 438 | ** As of February 2023, the remade version has sixteen chapters, and it is already over 90,000 words. |
| 439 | * ''Fanfic/AsukaAndShinjisInfinitePlaylist'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27391354?view_full_work=true link]]): 158,617 words spread over eighteen chapters as of November, 2022; plus, the one-shots total 8,186 words as of September, 2022. |
| 440 | * ''Fanfic/RhymeAndReason'', a much DarkerAndEdgier and more dramatic take on the premise of ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', has nine parts with multiple chapters each and 158,492 words, most of it covering [[ExtremelyShortTimespan less than a day]]. This may not sound like much, but this story was published as early as [[TheNineties 1996]]. Writing took from 1993 to 1995, making it also the first ''CDRR'' fanfic that was intended as such, followed by several rounds of proof-reading before even the first part was published, so unlike today's {{Door Stopper}}s, it wasn't written and published chapter by chapter. Besides, it's formatted for the UsefulNotes/{{Usenet}} which means a maximum of 70 characters per line and therefore a whole lot of pages. Its staggering length and quality intimidated the Rangerphiles so much that it wasn't before 1997 that someone else dared to write a ''CDRR'' fanfic. ''Rhyme and Reason'' remained the longest ''CDRR'' fanfic for almost a decade until ''Gadget in Chains'' overtook it. |
| 441 | * ''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!'') |
| 442 | * The rewrite of ''Fanfic/KirbyoftheStarsTheAfterStory'' has 138,137 words as of October 2nd, 2018 - and that's just the first ten chapters of the first of ''many'' story arcs that the author has planned. Its previous "beta" version ran for 57 chapters and 230,080 words. |
| 443 | * The ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/DanceWithTheDemons'' sits at 134,065 words spread over 23 chapters. |
| 444 | * The ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' fanfic ''[[Fanfic/RetiredMercenariesHomeOwnersAssociation Retired Mercenaries' Home Owner's Association]]'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/19864327 link]]) clocks in at 124,219 words spread out over 25 chapters. |
| 445 | * ''Fanfic/MonsterChronicles'' Voodoo's Disciple is over 120,000 words long. |
| 446 | * ''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 good percentage of that white space to use, though. |
| 447 | * ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'', a fanfiction starring ComicBook/CarolDanvers, is twenty-nine chapters long with 118,387 words. |
| 448 | * The ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' fanfic ''Fanfic/RegularShowAugust'' sits at 108,281 words spread out over twenty-two chapters. |
| 449 | * ''Fanfic/{{Fractured|SovereignGFC}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'']] [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] is "only" 100,000 words--but the sequel goes nuts being over four times longer and not even finished yet! |
| 450 | |
| 451 | * ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/3985498 red roses and dead things]]'' is an ongoing ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' series that currently stands at 206,000 words as of May 2024 (the series itself started in January of the same year). With one more planned longfic and at least four side stories and a regular update schedule, the series word count will likely double by the end of the year. |

| 456 | * ''Fanfic/FromFakeDreams'' -- a ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' Alternate Universe Fic written by Third Fang, author of the incredibly long ''Fanfic/YetAgainWithALittleExtraHelp''. |
| 457 | * ''Fanfic/GodSlayingBladeWorks''-- A ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''[=/=]''Literature/{{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. |
| 458 | * The released chapters of ''Fanfic/MisfiledDreams'' run 729 pages, including 2 blank pages in the first chapter and 7 pages of art. The ''unreleased'' (and unedited) chapters run another 324 pages. |
| 459 | * ''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. |
| 460 | ** The Russian original of ''Offensive Care'' has 176,362 words. The author's own English translation grew slightly beyond 200,000 words. |
| 461 | * ''Fanfic/SuperMarioWorldMaxLandis'' is a 436-page movie script that would be 7 hours long if it were made, with almost every Mario character having a supporting role, character arcs, and being name-dropped at least once. |
| 462 | * ''Fanfic/TeachingDarkness: 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 side stories (for ideas decidedly too short compared to the main stories to focus a multi chapter story around, regarded as a different canon, except maybe the ''Twilight Zone''-esque one), about seven posted scraped 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 '06]]... VERY loosely. |
| 463 | * ''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/RosarioPlusVampire'' category (35 chapters across 518 pages, according to the author.) |
| 464 | ** ''Fanfic/HereInMyArms'' is at least two and a half times as long, in the same fandom. |
| 465 | * Rytex's ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' series centering on Nova Shine and Twilight Sparkle. |
| 466 | ** ''Fanfic/TheApprenticeTheStudentAndTheCharlatan'' clocks in at over 382,000 after undergoing an extensive rewrite of the first 14 chapters, plus some additions. Its original complete version finished at 242,811. Even as far as single chapters go, Chapter 17 ("Nightfall") is ''over 25,000'' words long, and the rewrite of Chapter 12 got to 28,000 before it was split into two parts. |
| 467 | ** Its original sequel, ''Even In Other Worlds'', is sitting at just over 200,000 words, however just under 40,000 words of it are AprilFoolsDay chapter updates (including one update that is all 22k+ words of ''Fanfic/MyImmortal''). |
| 468 | ** The new sequel, ''Fanfic/TheArchmagesLastBow'', is a little over 150,000 words long at ten chapters into the story. |
| 469 | * ''Fanfic/TheEndOfPonies'', a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic, is already longer than the entire ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' trilogy. And it's not even finished yet. |
| 470 | * ''Fanfic/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. |
| 471 | * ''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. |
| 472 | * While the first Volume of ''Fanfic/TSATheAmazingSpiderMan'' is only 50,000 words long, Volume 2 is 1,296,006 words long, and Volume 3 is 146,806 words long and seventeen chapters in and not yet finished. The story will continue with Volumes 4 and 5, so it will likely reach two million words. Justified as it is a complete retelling of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'', which has 60 years of storylines to draw from. |
| 473 | ** Also worth noting is that the author typically updates once a week, with most chapters going over 10,000 words. |
| 474 | * 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. |
