Cytokinesis posted:I'm thinking of asking for a name change, as this is basically just a Worm thread, and the title probably isn't drawing too many people in. Does anyone know who I should message to get the title changed? Worm: When life gives you powers, sucker punch a god.

The fact that I had something to read all of the time when I first started was pretty much the best thing ever and even now WildBow releases new chapters with such frequency that I'm never really jonesing for more for too long. WildBow is like the best drug dealer ever.

OneTwentySix posted:Does she get anything from Cauldron capes, though? I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but they don't have shards, or at least, not Scion/Partner's shards, so they might not work for her. She has Grey Boy and I'm pretty sure he is a Cauldron cape.

I swear to Zion, if WildBow doesn't give us a chapter from either Taylor's point of view or someone in the thick of this most recent development I am going to throw a motherfucking temper tantrum.

I just finished the new chapter and... gently caress I don't know man, how am I supposed to deal with this? Edit: Also the thread title is even more accurate now.

I'm pretty sure WildBow said that he thought that this was his weakest story in his mind, so I'm wondering if he's having a harder time writing it than he will the others.

Neurosis posted:It's a long serial so it will be a long time before I am enlightened as the rest. Feel free to laugh at my posts until then. I didn't mean it in an insulting way, more it's awesome when someone starts reading because I almost get to experience it all over again through the thread. I definitely prefer Pact over all of the other samples out so far except for maybe Face which is never going to outpace Boil, so Pact gets my vote.

withak posted:Maybe in comics, but urban fantasy is way more common in actual written books. What other superhero novels are there that are anywhere close as popular as the shelves of UF in bookstores? Just because something has been done it doesn't mean it has been done by Wildbow and the fact that you seem to have so little faith in Wildbows writting ability is disturbing... I think you need to take a good long look at what makes Worm great and then you'll realize that Pact will be great for the same reasons.

veekie posted:More like anything outside of sabotaging him would be fair game. Spying on him for the lawyer's own reasons for example. Or getting his karmic debt even higher by helping him. It can do a LOT. I don't think it would increase his Karmic debt because he's paying them. Right? But I wouldn't be surprised if they used him to spy.

Blasphemeral posted:I really appreciated the trope-reversal Wildbow added regarding Natural and Cauldron triggers where the reader is natually predilected to think that "natural" triggers are preferrable and "right" when early in the story, but by the end, with the reveals about how "natural" triggers occur, it's shown that cauldron capes are generally better all-around as long as the mix they get is good. I disagree pretty strongly on this point. I don't think that it matters how you get your powers, it depends entirely on what kind of person you are. Look at the SH9, off the top of my head three of their most dangerous and deranged members were Cauldron Capes. The reason Cauldron has so few crazies is that they run extensive tests before administering the serum.

Grundulum posted:I don't think Rose can take an implement; didn't her awakening ceremony fail, meaning she isn't a true practitioner? Not fail so much as she has no way of drawing any real power to use magic. If she had some way of drawing power that wasn't from Blake then she could affect the world in a similar manner as a ghost (I think).

SerSpook posted:So Blake is kind of hosed. This is Wildbow we are talking about here so everyone is always hosed and everything is always going to poo poo and if it doesn't seem like it then its going to get a lot worse in the next chapter.

Affi posted:Worm question! I haven't found any good fan fiction of Worm and I actively tried finding some. Even if you find someone who actually knows how to write its difficult to not have holes in the background story because of how much world building WildBow did.
