I have two, one over here and one over on ao3 (cuz it has seggs and I'm not sure if that stuff is allowed here). With the community contest coming up, I'll be putting the first one on hold.

So I'm curious about how other people handle this kind of simultaneous projects, and if anyone else works on two or more stories at the same time?

Edit: after going through the comments, I noted that there are two kinds of people :
Those that have one main project (and maybe a side one that they don't update as often)
And people 4 to 6 different projects, most in very different genres and even types of media (I.e. screenplays and comics)

Too many.  

I'm mostly focusing on Summoner right now, but I have so many partial stories I also want to write. I'd probably be writing something else new by now if it hadn't taken off the way it has. But now I'm really into it and the number of readers is only making it more exciting to work on.

Two and a half ish. If my thesis counts, two and three quarters.

One, a single project.

I don't enjoy working on multiple things at a time if I can help it. If I am, it's writing and editing another. I don't write multiple stories at a time unless there is a difference in length. I write a novella or a novel at the same time. Or a novel and a short story. I don't write two novels at the same time. It doesn't work out. I like finishing my work. 

I'm actively working on writing "Seventh Seal"
I'm re-drafting "The many wonderful adventures of Daveth", (Name subject to change)
I'm drafting up "Glory the Morningtide" into something that actually seems like it was written by someone that isn't an idiot, 
AND I'm working on putting together a collection of short stories.
I have notes written for a "It's magic but it's actually sci-fi" story
And I have two drafts for for a couple of isekai stories.

Two... ish. Three if you count the weird reality show crossover between the two, but that should be a fairly short one-off thing and not a whole series. The reason I say two-ish is because the second one hasn't technically had episodes written on it yet, but I still work on it a lot.

In terms of what I'm actively uploading online, two. In the background during my free time, though, I have another... two stories that are partially planned and that I definitely want to write after my main story wraps up, and then another one or two vague ideas floating around in my head that I might expand upon.

A few. I'd say 2 mainly, but I am also trying to finish and publish my one series I have up on Amazon. I've been overwhelmed with other ideas but decided to put them on the backburner so I can focus more on the others. I do not think I am a writer that can do like 5 different projects though I praise anyone who can!

For me, The Jinni and the Isekai, Anacho, Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, House of Gates, Jeanbleau, Paraside, and I'm planning more for Wakiagaru as well as a new series I've got coming called The Epic Sword & Sorcery Entertainments of Ashahnai. I also have a few other ideas for some more series I'd like to do.

I never write on projects at the same time. What I do is I write a volume/arch for one series, then I jump to a volume/arch for another, and I rotate them. This way everything stays fresh and interesting, otherwise I would get bored and give up. I find that when I've been away from a series for a month or so, my interest comes back, especially when I'm tired of writing on the others. It's a great way to stay productive. But I also don't rewrite because life is too short for that nonsense, and I mostly don't outline.

I have one going on, and it'll probably stay that way for a while.  I want to remain focused on one story because I believe doing so would allow for me to write to the best of my ability while also delving very deep in the world that I'm trying to build.

A sensible 5

Two at the moment, though I'm not avidly working on both at the same time per se.

Over 9000!
But they mostly don't count because I write articles and modules all the time, use them, then archive them.

Six, I am shuddering now!

If we're counting stories only then two.

I am also preparing two campaigns for dnd, and helping a friend with his own.

And then I also have college exams to study for, as they are coming in mid to late January.
 

I personally have only one (The one I'm currently publishing here) because I can only do 1 chapter a week due to life being hard. However, I do have some other shelved I want to do and develop, both in and out of the universe of my current story.

One, cause I don't have enough time to write more than one. Andddd, I love writing this one
