This thing seriously needs an epub download. Catching up on two years of updates in a web browser is a non-starter. :-/

Grundulum posted:For those people wanting to read Worm in a continuous form, my friend has found the Chrome app Readability. Took all however-many sections of the story and conjoined them into a single document. How did he get it to combine everything? I can only get Readability and Instapaper to grab one chapter at a time. Though with the prev/next links working fine and the app keeping track of my progress, this is pretty much good enough for me.

Now that I look, Instapaper is doing it right sometimes. When I hit the next chapter link sometimes I get individual entries and sometimes it loads several in a row. Probably something to do with the way it detects a "next page" link. Either way, it keeps track of progress and paginates so it is good enough for me.

So while reading the backlog via Instapaper, for one chapter the "read later" function gave me the text from one of the comments at the bottom of the page instead of the story text itself. It would have been obvious that something was wrong, except the particular comment happened to be a big chunk of erotic fanfiction.  It took a while to figure out that the story hadn't actually gone in a totally unexpected direction.

loudog999 posted:Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but I read the OP and didnt see it and I didnt want to take the chance of seeing spoilers in the thread. I just got a new paperwhite and would love to read Worm on it, do I have any option for that? No. Something like Instapaper or Readability makes it a little more user-friendly for readying, but there isn't an ebook option ATM.

I like Boil better than the first two story attempts.

Plus Boil showed signs of becoming a private detective story.

Pact feels like an RPG or video game novelization.

Tollymain posted:I don't get this mindset. I read Wildbow's work because he's a good writer. Why would a change in genre make you stop reading good work? Because a retread of generic urban fantasy plot #12 is uninteresting regardless of who writes it.

I read it through Instapaper, but that only really works if you have network access all of the time. It keeps track of progress and lets you control formatting a little bit. Just keep hitting the "next chapter" link when you get to to the end.
