Guts & Glory was a recurring title that was taken up and dropped several times in the drafting of what would become Worm.<ref name="3.11c1">Comment by Wildbow on Agitation 3.11</ref> Its rotating protagonists and point-of-view characters were Panacea and Glory Girl.<ref>Post by Wildbow on his blog</ref><ref name="Draft">Partial text of Guts & Glory</ref>
Synopsis
The first draft of Guts & Glory extends from the Brockton Bay Brigade's adoption of Amy Dallon to her trigger event. The second draft of Guts & Glory starts when Amy discovers the identity of her father and begins to break down. The third draft was an attempt to tie these first two drafts together, while Wildbow also attempted a fourth and final draft.<ref name="Draft"/><ref name="14.8c1">Comment by Wildbow on Prey 14.8</ref>
Charecters
Appearing in available draft
- Guts: An early version of Panacea named Annie here. She shares many traits with Taylor like black curly hair, insecurities about her figure, and social anxiety.
- Glory: An early version of Glory Girl, still named Victoria. Gregarious, she makes Annie feel welcome when she is adopted.
- Brett: An early version of Gallant, implied to have his aura vision. Had the story been pursued, a stronger relationship between him and Annie would have been the focus.
- Cole: Like Triumph, the mayor's son.
