I highly recommend Worm [1], available for free and it's some of the best fiction I've read in ages. It's only available online and not in any sort of (official) e-book format, although there are scrapers which can do that pretty seamlessly. It's a great story and I would gladly throw money at the author for an official e-book version.

I think that needs a loud "WARNING: RABBIT HOLE" notation.

Wildbow is great at writing, kind of bad at monetization. If he sold any merch, his many fans would have bought lots of it. I'd love a a hoodie that had "Property of Parahuman Response Team ENE: Brockton Bay" on it. Or even just some black sweatpants with "VILLAIN" printed down one leg. I've given off and on with Patreon, but that is somehow much less compelling.


Yep. Even something far more subtle like a hoodie with a Gold Morning symbol on the sleeve would sell very well.

Edit: as for the rabbit hole, I spent a fair amount of my free time over the course of three months reading this. It definitely sucked me in.
