I'm going to assume it's just me - or just fanfiction.net, which is the site I'm using to store my writing. I updated earlier with 12,666 words (says ff.net) and the NaNo counter only gave me 12,000 words. That's quite a difference! (I'm trying to not pay attention to the exact number difference in this case, it's very unsettling.) Anyway, yesterday, it was 500 words off, so It seems to increase each time I update.

If it is just fanfiction.net, does anyone have any suggestions of what I can use, instead? (Free and easy would be paramount.) Thank you much!

Different word counters count words differently. Please see this topic for more information.

Thank you, that was very helpful. I'm so glad that I caught it early on so I'll have time to make sure I have those extra words in there before the deadline.
