Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

I never posted them here, but they should be up at both Spacebattles and SV, in the misc Worm ideas threads. Links for each site's set are in my signature at that site.
I'd just like to take a moment to thank everyone who voted for Path to Munchies in the /r/WormFanfic Best of 2017 polling. Thanks to your support, PtM took top honors for Best Completed Fic and was runner up to UnwelcomeStorm's juggernaut of a story about a girl and her doG for Best Crack/Humor...
This is all non-canon; QQ apparently lacks the "Apocrypha" threadmark category.
This is best summarized as an entire dropped plotline. The first piece is... bleh. It doesn't really add anything to the story, but I still like the interaction between the characters. The fourth piece is the...
An omake inspired by this post over at SB.

Taking the girls shopping for Halloween costumes is always such a strange experience. I’ve spent so much of my time wearing a costume – fighting in a costume – that the idea of wearing one for fun is almost…...
First things first: This is an omake collection, taking place at various times throughout the story. Some of this is canon compliant, some is not; I specify before each segment to minimize confusion.
Second: Taylor doesn’t directly appear in any of these. These are things that happen in the...

As she finishes the story, I cradle my head in my arms. “My life used to be so much simpler.”
“When, exactly?”
“Oh, shush.” I stand up and start rummaging through my kitchen cabinets. I have a bottle of rum tucked away somewhere…
“Third cabinet...

Eidolon – Sunday, January 9 – 10:30 AM
I blink in surprise as I enter the conference room. “Contessa, welcome back! We’ve barely seen you since September!” After months of absence, walking in to find her sitting there expectantly is a bit startling. She’s clutching a plain, white box, but...
The mechanism has been successfully deduced on SB. Have an interlude!

“I think Ms. Romano gave me superpowers for Christmas.”
I set my fork down; it’s going to be one of those conversations. I was almost done anyway. “Honey, I’m sure that made sense inside your head, but you’re going to have to give your...

Getting blindsided by Squealer could only be more humiliating if she hadn’t developed a cloaking device for that damn truck.
I’d been running a late patrol after a long day of working on the project. It should have been a simple run – putting in...
This was originally posted for April Fool's Day. Completely non-canon, of course, but a lot of fun to write. This has some references to the Brownie Pan omake. If you haven’t read that, it’s the last section here.

“Alright, time to go over the plan for tonight and… Damn it, stop screwing around with that!” I take a deep breath, hold it for a three count, then release. I turn my attention back to the hired help. “Look, I get it. Believe me, more than anyone, I...

Aw, man, why do they have to pick on Taylor first thing? They were all just, like, waiting to ambush her when she walked in. She tried to turn around, but Sophia just pushed her back into the group. I was going to ask her how her Christmas was and tell...
This was originally going to be just an interlude, a series of news clippings; the actual reactions were going to be in the next part. I decided to weave them together to give them better context/flow, and that created another double sized (for me) chapter.
This is also the chapter where a lot...
Threadmarks: Canon Omake: Path to Friendship (and brownies)
Some slice of life as Taylor begins adjusting to Arcadia. Everything other than the last bit is canon.

It’s while we’re walking to Mark’s house that Andy decides to try being funny. “So, the new girl,” he drawls. “On a scale of one to...

I spent Saturday night beating up Nazis. I spent Sunday setting up circumstances to make an evil mastermind have a complete breakdown. I spent Monday helping a soon to be ex-villain loot the mastermind’s assets to the bedrock. Well, we were also...

I look down in confusion at Piggot. She glares up at me from where she sits with her back against her front door. Faint wisps of smoke rise from the pistol she grips with both hands.
I touch the hole in my jacket, feel moisture. Bring...

It’s while I’m making our post-workout breakfast that it finally clicks.
Coil.
That’s what changed when I updated the Kaiser-centric plans to avoid gang wars – every variation now involves taking Coil out as one of the early targets. There’s an...
