Re: The "Why aren't you reading Worm yet?" Thread.
Pact 2 is up, and again this has caught me more than the others. I want to know what's going on.
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

I would not at all be unhappy with Boil, but I'm seriously pulling for Pact.

Definitely rooting for Pact.

I'd still prefer boil, purely on the science side. Pact was well written, but there's tons of well written horror out there.

Re: The "Why aren't you reading Worm yet?" Thread.
Pact doesn't really strike me as something original - it's a basic monster story. Still rooting for Boil.
A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay

Re: The "Why aren't you reading Worm yet?" Thread.
I'd be happy with either Pact or Boil, wildbow's style seems to add more to the basic premise.
Pact 3 up, with a lot of answers to what's been going on, and how deep our protagonist is in it.

Re: The "Why aren't you reading Worm yet?" Thread.
Pact is starting to look interesting. I'm still hoping Wildblow goes with Boil though.

Re: The "Why aren't you reading Worm yet?" Thread.
To be fair, I took a week off to read a book and then read Pact 1-3 in one sitting, which may have influenced my impression of it, but it definitely sparked my imagination more than the others. Where else are we going to get an utterly fucked Protagonist / Protagonist's Cousin / Protagonist's Alt-Universe Female-Self-And/Or-Maybe-Dead-Grandma love triangle, huh? Huh? ;]

Re: The "Why aren't you reading Worm yet?" Thread.
ok, Pact is growing on me.
Still feels a bit like a retread of the ground used in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_S ... Mr_Norrell but meh.
Here's hoping for Boil
