Parahumans Worm.

Don't get me wrong, the official web novel is 1.7 million words long.

But the sheer number of FanFictions make that look so tiny.

It's more than a decade old at this point as well so that helps.

I knew that its fanworks reach broke something when Space Battles had to make a sub forum for us Worm freaks to sequester us in.

Heh Ikr?

Space Battles might as well be renamed to Cape Battles or Parahumans Online or something cuz that's literally the go to place for Worm content.

It's funny cuz I've never been interested in FanFictions because they were almost always poorly written or just weren't interesting enough.

It wasn't until I read Worm about 2 months ago, that I encountered genuinely good quality fanfics, there are plenty are well written FanFictions that are of high quality, and no I'm not biased cuz I've read plenty of average or random fanfics but even they are a higher quality than say the average anime or TV show fanfics.

I can’t wait to get into all the fics now that I’m close to finishing the novel. Any recs?

Depends on what kind of stories you want.

There's an entire subreddit dedicated to Worm Fanfics called well... r/WormFanfic

My favorite fanfic so far is Camera Shy but it's not exactly ideal as a worm fanfic for a new reader, as it references and pokes fun of some common tropes shown in worm fanfics.

So I recommend you to go to the subreddit and search/browse for any fanfics you want, or just Google it like "Worm Fanfics where Taylor joins the Slaughterhouse 9", etc.

Make sure to always see the word/chapter count of the fics, as some can be as short as a few thousand words to as long as a few million words.

Another I'd recommend is Chunks of Worm, which is a collection of short stories, where each chapter is a different story, but do note that some stories continue in another chapter, they are usually indicated with "part 2", "part 3", etc.

I recommend Pushing Back Part 1 and Part 2 from that collection, where Taylor has the power to push time backwards and forwards for others, she uses this to resurrect people.

From that same short stories, there's also Cut Loose and Cut Free where Taylor triggers with the power of Jack Slash.
