It depends on the story. The Social Media Killer had 5 drafts, and Cybermancer had 3, but Chocolate Insomnia only had 1. SMK draft 1 was complete a whole year before release, but Into the Retrofuture was just a couple weeks before.
I usually draft just a complete story and second, third, etc. drafts will use material from the previous draft, but I start over from the beginning so a lot of stuff changes. These Social Media Killer bonus pages probably give a good showcase to what percent of my writing/plot stayed the same through all five drafts.
I know its not open yet,but I gotta ask. How many drafts do you go through? Do you complete them in a week or a month before you upload them?

How much do you draft? And how long does it take?
