Daniel Pinkwater's The Yggyssey (free, serialised)
Found this via Neil Gaiman's blog, actually.

Info:
Quote:
Ghosts, bunnies, witches, and Shlerm-- oh my!

The Yggyssey is set a few years after the events recounted in The Neddiad. Yggdrasil Birnbaum, progeny of the illustrious Captain Buffalo Birnbaum and denizen of the venerable Hermione Hotel, is our guide through this epic tale of Hollywood hijinks.

The Yggyssey will be published in 2009, but you can read it right here, free of charge! Starting April 28th, a new chapter of THE YGGYSSEY will be posted each week until the end of the book is reached. Stay tuned for extras and special features, and don't miss a week!
Chapters 1-50 are up so far. Read it: http://www.theyggyssey.com/

There's also an audio version of the first chapter you can listen to.

I, er, didn't really like The Neddiad, myself, but it's a YA fantasy novel with ghosts and gods and magic, and I assume the sequel is much the same.

Yay! Daniel Pinkwater is great. Borgel is one of the first books that I bought with my own money.

Now I may be wrong, but it would appear that there are 50 chapters online...

Oh! I didn't actually read it, obviously, but yeah, there seems to be the first 50 chapters up (short ones, btw). I've edited my first post to say that.

Looking more into the website, I would guess that this has been ongoing for the last 50 weeks No idea whether or not the book is complete yet though!

I think it's still going. According to this comment I found on BoingBoing, it's still being posted and will be removed once it's done (of course).

I don't know how many chapters there are all together, though.
