The fanfiction I write is entirely for fun, with no commercial use implied, intended, or permitted. All original copyright holder's rights are acknowledged.
More specifically, as a basic, non-exhaustive disclaimer for main line or omake story elements currently used to date:
Worm is the property of Wildbow.
Basically, if you recognize it from a movie, comic, book, or other published work, it's owned by the rightsholders for that work. Anything else is my fault.
Does anyone even read these? Does anyone even care about these?
This introduction may change as time goes on, as I will answer common questions and address issues here, as well as announce the status of the story should it change. Check here first if you have any queries. I can't promise that you will always find an answer, but I'll try Still another one that started in my random ideas thread, I'm afraid. As is common updates will be somewhat sporadic, but it seems to have sufficient legs to deserve becoming a full story, albeit probably a fairly short one. But who knows?
As always, I will say the following, my standard boilerplate for a story:
I'm always open to corrections, typo spotting, math error checking, and all sorts of things like that, and I like hearing ideas about the way things could go and suggestions for interesting scenes. Or even simply discussing the story. Make a good point and I will probably use it in one way or the other if I agree with it.
On the other hand I will ignore demands to change parts of the story to fit your particular likes. This is not in any way meant to be rude, but the first rule of fanfiction is the same as the first rule of life, which is:
It's entirely impossible to please everyone at the same time with anything.
Trying to do so is an exercise in frustration for all involved and therefore pointless. I would rather concentrate on writing the story rather than arguing about how to write the story, especially as that is a zero-sum game in the first place.
Bear in mind that this is an alternative universe, which means that some of the canon powersets may work in slightly different ways if it made it more convenient for the story. Most are meant to be more or less unchanged, though, so it's not impossible I made a mistake. If you aren't sure, don't worry about asking for clarification, I don't mind at all. I respond well to polite questions and genuine interest in why something happened the way it did.
Now that I've said my piece, on with the story, in which Taylor has a somewhat different effect on the world...
