-In the version [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Szmsr8ENCxPFv1MVKP39UKJ-TXZbUvivxUs_oxKoR3I/edit available to read]. The events leading up to that Thursday is one of the recurring title in Worm. Draft featured rotating viewpoints attempting to incorporate everyone I’d added into the story by that point in one overarching story. First draft focused heavily on Faultline. Introduced Faultline’s crew, which was composed of Newter, Slug (Gregor), Spitfire and a scandinavian girl with Genesis’ power. Later drafts introduced Endbringers, Dauntless, and

-<blockquote>Not the first draft of TELUTT, the story switched between Faultline, the Triumvirate and Guts & Glory. It was an attempt at tying everything in together. I like that there’s one scene in there (At the end) that was pretty much copied exactly and inserted into Worm, even though I haven’t opened these documents in a long, long time. The nature of Faultline’s meeting with her ‘crew’ is essentially what happened in canon. That said, wow, are my protagonists a pain in the ass to read this early on (arrogant/annoying). At this juncture, I was still figuring out a way to make powers interesting. I was bored with many of them, and I was lapsing into some of the ‘standby’ powers, like tinkers without anything interesting to them.<ref>[https://wildbow.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/snippets-drafts-of-worm/ Snippets: Before Worm]</ref>
