About
I'm a career writer writing fiction online. I tend to write dark stuff aimed at the 'new adult' market, somewhere between young adult and regular fiction.
Before I got underway with the writing (overlapping just a bit, actually), I was a student at University, studying Applied Languages. Learning language, how we use it, how we leverage it, and the author-audience, audience-text and author-text relationships. I use this knowledge every day, and it's done well for me.

Hello, and welcome,
I'm 'Wildbow', and I write web serials, putting chapters online every Tuesday and Saturday, and some Thursdays too, if and when the donations hit a certain mark. I wrote Worm and Pact, which have both completed, and have since moved on to Twig, my third series, which is now ongoing.
My first series, Worm, was something of a sleeper hit. Word spread, and is still spreading, about the story, which features a teenager with a superpower that lets her control bugs. She is mistaken for a supervillain on an early outing, and is thrust into a world where hero and villain and good and evil don't always match up.
In Pact, our protagonist inherits his grandmother's house in a small town and her trove of diabolic tomes, along with all of the enemies and negative attention that come with being a diabolist. Allies are few and far between, and the best weapons at his disposal have consequences for use that could readily surpass whatever his enemies have in store for him.
Twig opens with a small group of protagonists, and they're small in more ways than one. In a world where biology is a plaything of scientists and great mysteries and challenges of life are being solved and ticked off one by one, we see a group of eerily competent children taking a hand in events.
Worm kicked off and quickly became a niche hit, topping charts at Webfictionguide, at Muse's Success, while Pact has done well enough, placing fifth overall on Webfictionguide for Webfiction in general. Both soared in the vote rankings on Topwebfiction, earning their share of fanart and a great deal of fanfiction as well, which continues to be produced even after they finished their respective runs. Reception to Twig seems solid right out the gates.
Consistency and professionalism are big priorities for me as an author, and all stories maintain dedicated Tuesday-and-Saturday schedules, with extra chapters released on Thursdays as income comes in from Paypal donations and Patreon subscriptions. Worm took two years and four months to write and totaled 1,680,000 words, an excess of twenty novels worth of material. Pact took one year and two months to write, and was roughly 950,000 words long, and I expect Twig to fall somewhere in that neighborhood.
As you might guess, this means I write a lot, more than a book every month in terms of raw wordcount. I put in 50-60 hours a week to make this possible, and I have no plans to stop anytime soon. Recognizing that support from readers makes it possible for me to provide more content, I offer additional chapters, as described above.
Thank you for your time, and thank you for your support.
