    Worm WORM/Parahumans: Explaining, Discussing, Complaining. Lets do one or another!

    Superheroes is a surprisingly hard genre to get right. Especially once you start trying to add rationality into the mix, because inherently Capes are reliant on the highly irrational notion that the best way to fight crime is to dress up like a bat and patrol until you see a criminal in an...

    Worm WORM/Parahumans: Explaining, Discussing, Complaining. Lets do one or another!

    Very few of them have actually read it. No really. The difference between the actual Worm story and the fanon popular Spacebattles is immense. It doesn't help that Worm is so ungodly long and verbose and very few Fanfics make it past Leviathan so reading the whole thing isn't needed for a...

    Worm WORM/Parahumans: Explaining, Discussing, Complaining. Lets do one or another!

    Primarily ease of setting. If you're writing, say, a Scooby Doo fanfic you don't need to work as hard on describing the characters, everybody knows what the gang looks like.

    In Name Only. Like those stories where Harry Potter changes his name to Hadrian, discovers he actually has amazing ancient magic spells, and Dumbledore and all the Weasleys except Ginny are pure cosmic evil so Harry proceeds to kill absolutely every named male in the setting and take all the...

    Worm WORM/Parahumans: Explaining, Discussing, Complaining. Lets do one or another!

    I wouldn't swear to it but I believe it started on WordPress.

    Worm WORM/Parahumans: Explaining, Discussing, Complaining. Lets do one or another!

    It's a webnovel, one of those super-long-running types with one and three quarter million words (For comparison, the entire Wheel of Time cycle across fifteen doorstopper volumes is four million). It's not SB/SV only but it's significantly more popular there than anywhere else I've run into...
