Parahumans

Parahumans is a name sometimes used to refer to the series of stories begun by Worm, written by the author J.C McCrae aka Wildbow.

History

The website for Worm, Parahumans.wordpress.com, was originally intended to host a number of short stories set in the same universe. Worm was to be the first.

An later story set in the Worm universe, PRT: Department Sixty-Four, was published elsewhere (on the SpaceBattles forum.) This story was an interactive "quest" rather than a traditional story, with the protagonist's actions determined by vote and the villains' actions determined by a number of roleplayers.^{[citation needed]} As such, it is only considered partially canon.<ref name="R2">Periastron & some of the other PRT Quest villains were player-generated via. the early Weaverdice system, and were consequently somewhat broken. I don't count PRT Quest in canon, really, or only ambiguously, for much this reason.Archived on Spacebattles</ref><ref name="SB1">PRT Quest is canon [but] the events of the PRT Quest never happened. It was all a vision that Roullette saw and [the vision] put her in a coma, though not before writing down as much as she could. -

Following the completion of his other stories Pact and Twig, Wildbow returned to the Worm universe. Parahumans.wordpress.com was finally used to post a short story in the same universe, Glow-worm, a prequel to the then-upcoming Worm 2.
