Yup, my wordcount function in GDocs didn't match AO3's (That's what I get for trying to be "clever" once and tell a story set in 1961 in 1,961 words exactly!)
For co-writing, other than the memory limits that GDocs has, the only problem we've had is when it's down. Smaller stories, single scenes and such, we can toss back and forth in email, but we tend to create a file in GDocs when an idea goes from "Wouldn't it be funny if..." to "Are we really writing this?" mostly as a way of consolidating the bits and pieces we'd been discussing in four different email threads and two LJ comment threads and the idea she had in the shower that morning and putting them all in one place.

Same. I kind of hate staring at an empty GDoc!
