oops i wrote the same story again




 >>/4121/
Here's a version I scraped together in another thread.
PDF: https://my.mixtape.moe/dizgpb.pdf
epub: https://my.mixtape.moe/molsnt.epub
mobi: https://my.mixtape.moe/kwrpph.mobi
The mobi was converted from the epub with Calibre. I didn't test it.


 >>/4122/
The .mobi doesn't seem to work.
So I downloaded the epub, used ebook-convert (calibre cli tool) on it to output a mobi and it worked but it doesn't have table of contents and since my old kindle doesn't have a reliable search function I can't for the life of me find out where I dropped off.

I tried scouring the internet but still I couldn't find much.
How come such a popular web serial doesn't have pristine formats available for reading ? Is he still waiting to get published ?


 >>/4127/
I think I tried using that, but couldn't get it to work.
I used BeautifulSoup in an ad hoc Python REPL session to download each chapter, extract (roughly) the part of the page that contained the chapter, look for a link that said something like "Next", follow that, and repeat. When I reached the end I concatenated it into worm.html, which I ran through ebook-convert to turn it into worm.pdf, worm.epub and worm.mobi.
It was not pretty.


Who do people "cast" as Victoria and the other characters while reading?

 >>/4117/
Come on, Victoria isn't the same as Taylor. And "rough, short-tempered female teammate"–who fills that role?

 >>/4304/
Probably meant Ashley for that.
> casting
My mental image is usually informed by fanart if I've seen it for the character but sometimes a real life person slots in really well. E.g. Victoria, I just imagine a hot blonde girl with big tits dressed like in the header image of the subreddit. For Kenzie though, I imagine this mouthy black girl who went to my gym for a while. And Armsmaster I pictured as a somewhat spergy gymnast I went to high school with. Sometimes I get really off-base impressions, like picturing Scion as a golden Dr. Manhattan instead of a golden Jesus.
I picture the Twig nobles as the blonde, almost white-skinned Legend of Galactic Heroes nobles.

> When not dressed up as Eidolon, he is a middle aged man, with thick eyebrows, thinning hair and heavy cheeks, big nose and ears. People were often struck by how normal, even slightly ugly he looked without his mask.


If you think any of the themes, or much about the story in general is the same, you're either dumb as shit or haven't been paying attention.

This sprite I saw on the reddit the other day is pretty great. Those hips and thighs, man. I want to ruin her womb with my autistic rape babies.




This is now a general web serial thread because the board is so slow
Anyone reading Worth the Candle? I honestly love it so much. It's as if it's teasing me with hot girl haremshit then it becomes a deep psychological exploration of the main character, then back to alluding to the haremshit again while we all know it's never going to seriously play the haremshit straight because it's really about the psych stuff. Maybe I'll draw some bad fanart of it one day.


What exactly connects rat-sphere and wildbow's fiction? Like, this is not a Harry Potter fanfic, why do I see so many /r/parahumans in /r/ssc?

Big Yud linked Worm from his tumblr, or his facebook, or something like that, a few years ago, back when HPMOR and Worm were being written at the same time I think



I want to read a tale where all the Gamers Against Weed get mercilessly stomped by nazis resurrected by the GOC (or some similarly schlocky bad guy group like that) with lots of chatlogs of the Gamers Against Weed cry-typing as they're getting picked off
