![]() ![]() Interludes (side stories) are inserted between each story arc to showcase events from different perspectives or provide some background information that the reader wouldn’t get from Taylor’s point of view. The actual work is divided into a number of story arcs, each containing five to sixteen individual chapters. The story updated on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with bonus chapters appearing on the occasional Thursday, as explained below. It totals roughly 1,680,000 words roughly 26 typical novels in length (or 10-11 very thick novels). Worm started in June 2011, updating twice a week, and finished in late November, 2013. ![]() The story, titled Worm, takes the form of a web serial, posted in bite-sized reads in much the same way that authors such as Mark Twain would release their works one chapter at a time in the days before full-fledged novels. ![]() As she risks life and limb, Taylor faces the dilemma of having to do the wrong things for the right reasons. Her first attempt at taking down a supervillain sees her mistaken for one, thrusting her into the midst of the local ‘cape’ scene’s politics, unwritten rules, and ambiguous morals. The teaser (post-Worm-epilogue, semi-prologue, not mandatory reading) chapters to Parahumans 2 can be found starting hereand arc 1, chapter 1 of the story starts here.Īn introverted teenage girl with an unconventional superpower, Taylor goes out in costume to find escape from a deeply unhappy and frustrated civilian life. Readers may also enjoy Wildbow’s other stories Pact and Twig, both complete. A polished version is in the works for print/ebook release. Q4b: Ebooks… what if I made one for personal use, or to share with a best friend or family member?Ī4b: If it’s not obvious to the publishers and not known to Wildbow, then no problem arises.If you don’t want any spoilers at all, click here to start! If you guys see such a site or person out in the wild, maybe send them a message, point them here/copy paste all this, or ask them politely to quit it, and if they don’t, let Wildbow know so he can figure it out. Wildbow has already missed out on one opportunity to get Worm out there because the other party got scared off by the mass-distribution via. There’s lots of really easy and obvious answers to all of these points, but in reality, publishers are skittish. There’s just too many questions of rights and ownership (who is the actual creator/distributor? Who was first?), whether the author really has control over their own property, and if the publisher feels it is worthwhile to get the rights to distribute the ebook if it’s already being put out there. For the time being, ebooks are not being distributed, and Wildbow would ask that people don’t set up sites, share scrapers or otherwise mass-distribute them. Unfortunately, dissemination of ebooks sort of muddies the waters and hampers those negotiations, whether it’s Wildbow doing it or others. He’d really like to do stuff like keep the website up and keep the integrity of his work, and the fact that the works are getting reads, money, reviews, fanart, and such really help with negotiating that. The current plan is to get the editing done and shop it around – with the established fanbase being what it is, Wildbow has a lot of freedom. Q4: Ebook? Can I have a copy? Is there going to be one? What about Worm?Ī4: Ebooks and the like are just about inevitable – Wildbow is in talks with an agent and has talked to some major publishers.
