I’ve been following _[The Zombie Knight](https://thezombieknight.blogspot.com/2018/05/page-1734.html)_ by George Frost for a couple years now. Fun stuff, basically undead superheroes (and supervillains). I also read _Worm_ and _Pact_ by Wildbow. WB is currently doing a sequel to _Worm_ called _Ward_, and I’ve been sporadically reading that, too. ---

…I guess I should have called this thread “_Do_ you read webnovels?” ---

> [@Malleus\_Incus\_Stapes](#): > > …I guess I should have called this thread “_Do_ you read webnovels?” Couldn’t give an answer to your first question, but can provide a "nope.’ to this one. Even with established, conventionally-published writers I prefer a whole novel all at once rather than serials. “Fan fiction” I don’t touch at all. ---

I touch a lot of Fan fiction. Wait, that came out wrong… Anyway, I’m reading a bunch of novel-length fics that are currently Works in Progress. One started with a relatively short PWP (smutfic), then the author went in and developed it more, and she just finished the third novel of four in the series. Total words so far - over 1,000,000,000. She starts the fourth novel this Sunday, and I can’t wait to read it! (Message me if you want a link, it’s really good Drarry) ---

She’s written 2000 times as many words as War And Peace and packaged them into three “novels”? 😉 ---

I never really got into Worm itself, but I’ve read a lot of fanfiction for it.
