I've done 13,800 words which is the complete first draft. I did leave a question in the FAQ thread about this, since it's not the required 15,000 words and even with the re-work I need to do probably won't be. So the question was do I need to pad it out with randomness to make it 15,000 or is the 15,000 more a guideline?
AU teenage Richard and Kahlan get into all kinds of trouble growing up together in Aydindril and must deal with thier developing feelings for each other.
Word count's 12K right now, which is probably about 1/5 of the whole thing.
Plot's the same: Seven years after "Tears," the gang's all grown up and dealing with premature mid-life crises, the forces of evil, and a plane's worth of emotional baggage. Kahlan and Cara are the focus.
Word Count: ~6,000 (Translated: 5 of ~25 planned scenes. My plot is completely outlined (5,000+ words of outline!) so all I need to do is write it.)
Outline: Set immediately after "Tears". Because Zedd irreparably disrupted the course of history with his Spells of Undoing, the Goddess of Time has decided to destroy the universe. To stop her, Richard, Kahlan, Cara and NotMordSith!Dahlia must team up with Darken Rahl and Nicci to find the ingredients for a spell that will convince the goddess that the new course of history is valid and desirable. However, due to another new prophecy, Zedd and Sister Verna believe they must restore the course of history to the way it was before the Spells of Undoing. Richard et al refuse to go back to a world where the Keeper is about to win, so they must race against Zedd and against time to save the world. Who will win!?
