How far are you all in your stories? How much have you completed/published and how far do you have to go? Do you have it all scripted out to the last comma and period? Or do you just have a vague idea how it will end or if it will end at all? I'm curious!

For me, I definitely have endings figured out for all three of my series.
Erie Waters I have scripted 100%, though I might add in a bit more at the end, only to make the last chapter even to the others. For this series I've done 32 pages with an additional 3 currently in the sketching phase. I plan to have at least 72 pages, not counting chapter images.
Heavy Horns is scripted 99%. Most of the dialogue is there but I may add or subtract some. I've done 29 pages and I'm nearing the end of chapter 2. Looking through my script I will have at least 10 chapters.
Demon House is scripted about 70%. I have all of Tula's first semester covered, and about half of her second semester. I've completed 74 pages (damn I didn't realize I've done so much) and have a lot more to go!

Aetherwing is currently in it's fourth issue with 80 pages published (88 completed.) As far as how long I have to go, I'm not quite sure on that one but it's quite a lot. Aetherwing is a very long series.

It is definitely not fully scripted (there's a lot) but I do have an ending for it, and major events that I want to happen. Other stuff we just kind of decide along the way =D

Back to Two is a short story that's been fully scripted for quite awhile and I've only just recently decided to revisit it. It's a 15 page short story with 5 published pages.

Grassblades is 2/3rds through its third chapter, with 76 pages published (if you count the covers) and 51 pages in unpublished buffer. It's scripted/storyboarded all the way through chapter 6.

I have a very rough outline of the entire story, from beginning to end, with a bunch of stuff in the middle that can (and will be!) shuffled around, changed, subtracted and added to. I know where and how it ends. I'm 99% decided on the ultimate fate of most of the characters. I'm keeping the outline loose so that I can change and adapt things as I realise better ways to to them - I've already tweaked it to include more of a secondary set of characters, and I will be tweaking it further to bring the villain into a more central role.

I have no idea how long it's going to be, but I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it comes in under 1000 pages. ;^_^

I'll also be posting a oneshot story as a Christmas calendar in December - one update a day for 24 days! - and that one is 99% done. I just need to spell-check some stuff, and then tweak page 1 and page 21 a bit, and then it's done.

No Future is scripted out, but not all of the content is in perfect order yet, and there are some scenes or lines of dialog I need to fill in (I have a habit of putting in -will finish this later- notes to prevent writers block if I'm stuck at scene or don't feel like doing the basic choreography for a fight scene (I usually don't write those in huge detail for comics), I think I'd put it at a 70%. I also have a alternate ending I can throw it if I need to bail on the project early. So far I have 16 chapters at 631 pages published for it. I can't really calculate how much longer it will be (script chapters don't always = a comic chapter, sometimes they can be less or more) but there is still a very long way to go

Raven Wolf is a lot more strict with the script, as it's the comic version of a novel story that I wrote. The novel story is about halfway complete at 6 books that currently equal 94 chapters, the comic much further behind only on chapter 7 with 237 pages published.

Fallacy just reached its 80th page last Friday and I'm inking the 83th atm. Which means I'm like... 1/8th into the story. :'D

I have already thumbnailed pages up to 142, testing page layouts and dialogue. Although the final product is going to differ from planned. This is simply the best method for me to see what needs to be tightened up or which needs more attention/space.

I have also the whole plot thought out but details do vary. Basically the farther I get the more vague it turns. I do know all the key scenes that have to happen so I can reach the conclusion I want but finer stuff is left more open. 1st arc is almost thumbnailed, maybe 20-30 pages left and 2nd arc has pretty good outline too. But 3rd and 4th... Well, I think it's good I haven't decided everything about them as drawing them is years away and I do like letting things develop organically, within reason.

I also have so far nameless short story I should finish. It had very quick outline and then I jumped straight into drawing it. I'm 18 pages in and need to do only 6 more and it's done. =D None of the pages are published tho.

One day Grassblades will be this amazing Les Mis thick tome I would be proud to have sitting on my coffee table.

Just finished drawing page 245 of Zenchav (geezus O_o;) I have either 9 or 10 pages less than that on the main site though because of the buffer. I only just started posting it here on Tap XD So there's still quite a few pages to get up here. It actually only just begun since I just finished the prologue for it one chapter ago, lol! I have some of it scripted, most of it in my head, and a second comic that takes place at the end of the story called Zenchav Out of Order! All of my stories are connected too so it's really all just one big mixing bowl of ideas swirling around in my head that I manage to keep straight with surprising ease XD

[okellymx]

I haven't starting drawing actual pages for my comic yet, but I've scripted a full 60 pages. I'm waiting to complete the script for the story before drawing actual pages or at least most of it.

going to cross my fingers and hope it comes in under 1000 pages.

That is massive

[igneriss]

6,75 is currently at the very end of chapter 4 ( : We have 173 pages uploaded on tapastic, which, together with about 5 more pages, are making the first volume.
I have chapter 5 scripted, also done margins to all chapter 5 pages and they are just waiting to be sketched C;
I also have all main events written down and organised them in chapters, so now I know that the story is going to last for 26 chapters and 2 epilogues. //we're all going to die before I finish it, haha. Probably around 980 pages for the whole story, yay, we already have ~17%! CX

[mappypaint]

University of Speed is currently in part 6 of 24, 304 pages of 1200, so that means i'm 25% into the story. We'll get there eventually. ^u^

[chiharu_j]

As far as Kami Element being fully scripted, definitely not. I only just finished the script for chapter 3 the other day but in all fairness, the next couple of chapters are going to be longish. The story itself is quite a bit to take in as well so I started off really slowly. I do have a vague idea of where everything is going though so that's not too much to worry about but I just don't want the middle bits to feel like fillers. On some Naruto filler level lol so will definitely be keeping it relevant.

For now though, the comic is currently at about 24 pages minus the cover, chapter cover and one part of splash art.

I made the mistake of making Shade a really long story (roughly 70 chapters), and I'm probably going to put it on an indefinite hiatus when I finish the current arc, leaving an unsatisfactory cliff hanger (it's currently half way through its 2nd chapter). I thought the story was good at first, but frankly I'm getting tired of it. I don't think it's as good as I thought it would be.
My second comic, The Little Story of Jean, something I only started publishing very recently, is something that's shorter than Shade, yet is still a pretty long story. The thing about it though is the easy nature of making the pages. A page for Shade would take me around 3-5 hours to make, and knowing that it's a long story, that doesn't help.
A page for The Story of Jean would literally take me around 15-40 minutes for linearting, and 30 minutes for toning.
The Little Story of Jean has a much more personal story as well, and that's the kind of thing I want to work more on in the future. It's only got roughly 5/6 pages out at the moment.

For Socializing101 it's a webtoon format so I'm currently in episode 15, I'm honestly unsure about how long it'll be exactly but I originally wanted to stay under 100 episodes although I think I'll probably go a little beyond that considering the slow pace. Up to around episode 40 is storyboarded but I keep subtracting unnecessary episodes or combining them with others if I feel like they're too short. I have most of the main componenets in the story planned out in note-form including how it's going to end and I left myself some room to change if the story needs it.

[shazzbaa]

Runewriters is currently partway through Chapter Three with 119 published pages. I have the last 20 pages of Chapter Three finished as well, and Chapter Four is fully scripted.
I have a rough outline of the events of each chapter, some chapters more rough than others, until the end. I know the ending I'm shooting towards but there's room to tweak stuff as I go!

Runewriters is planned to be 15 chapters long in total. Looking at previous chapters, that should put it somewhere between 700-800 pages, but I guess we'll see! : D It also might take me like ten years to get there, so um, I guess we'll see about that too!!

[winglesscomic]

I don't know how far I am I just know I can't stop my story until my OTP appears.

[crabman21]

Suzzie QHas 30 comics & is no where near finished. It's a web comic that I think could go on & on.....

[PocketFloral]

Glamour is 97% done with it's first chapter! The story is chopped up into 3 parts consisting of 5-10 chapters each with probably 40 pages per chapter. In other words, I've still got a huge amount of story ahead of me. But at least I've got 1/5 of the first act done ;D
The overall plot is loosely outlined, the first part more detailed outline wise and the first 3 chapters even more so. I'm constantly changing things last minute and have a hard time thinking of dialogue ahead of the couple pages I'm currently working on,, so I've accepted scripting in advance might not be the best method for me personally. I have a lot of dialogue notes and tiny sketch comics of important scenes all through out the story..

[Waterdrain]

Hobo story is no where close of being done. For now I have 2 chapters done and each of the chapters are more than 40 pages long. It's currently hiatus but I still have a long way to go. I'm not sure how many chapters it will be when I finish but I'm thinking of warping it up to three to four books. I'm still working sketches for the third chapter right now.

Out of the ordinary is a small project that I'm working on to take a break from Hobo story. I only have 6 pages done but I hope to make it as long as 50 pages. If I like it enough I'll make more chapters for it c:

[mattcleaver]

In Our Shadow is up to 143 pages, although I only have about fifty up on Tapastic at the moment. (I only joined Tapastic a few days ago but I sure wish I'd known about it sooner!)

It's going to be in three parts and the first part is close to being done, so I guess it'll end up being around 400ish pages by the end. Although as any comic artist knows, their comics always end up being longer than they expect, rarely shorter!
