Trivia
- Topped out at roughly 1.74 million words.
- The word "Worm" is one of the oldest words in the English language. It was originally meant to be a placeholder but eventually settled into being the main title.<ref name="16.6 c1">It was a placeholder name for a while, “Worm”, and I wound up sticking with it. In retrospect, I rather like it.
GSW’s review of Worm at Webfictionguide really sums it up. - comment by wildbow on Colony 15.6</ref>
