All-purpose thread I will save you from turning into the Worm thread.

So what other good web serials are out there anyway? I've tried to navigate a few of them and they seem to follow the general internet 90-10 ratio of poo poo to gold. I checked through the Web Fiction Guide but some of the recommendations thrown out by it are...questionable (i.e. either terrible porn or other superhero stories or terrible superhero porn). Seriously I'm never gonna get back those 30mins I spent trying to read Tales of MU. Someone recommended Ra earlier and I'm starting on that. Any others you guys have uncovered?

I seriously hope there's a planned aftermath/reactions chapter from the POV of everyone but Weaver; Protectorate, Undersiders, internet chatroom, everyone, as they realise the smart bug kid from a B-list team is now an all-controlling god-queen.

Man I totally forgot there was that huge chunk of skipped time. We already got some chapters about it but more would always be nice.

Did he say whether he was going to self-publish, or shop it around after another pass of editing?

Hard to see anything in the deluge of comments, got a link/copy? It sounds hilarious.


So weird to think it's almost over. I only discovered it a few months ago but it feels like I've been reading for years.

This also stuck out for me more than anything:

Brain surgery with a bullet isn't really possible, come on.
It feels like just a little bit of a 'gently caress you' that we were meant know 'brain surgery with a bullet' isn't possible in a world where multiple characters have perfect knowledge of the future(s), people can create semi-sentient constructs magnitudes more powerful than themselves, travel between parallel universes is taken for granted and the laws of physics are regularly broken. It has been a long time since I read it but isn't Contessa's power also literally "I know which exact actions to take to achieve my desired end"?

The problem is that Taylor spends like 3 or 4 times as long being a hero during the time skip than she did as an Undersider and literally nothing happens. Taylor doesn't change in literally any way, nobody starts doing anything different, nobody dies or is affected. It's pointless.
When someone informed me of this I did a huge double-take because I had no clue.

Worm can get really dense at times.
