I’m @krixwell; Norwegian nerd, shitposter and now, apparently, liveblogger – because on a whim, I’ve decided I’m going to try my hand at liveblogging the web serial Worm.
I’m not a stranger to the ways of liveblogging. I’ve liveblogged a little in the past, including some of the very latest Homestuck updates, Earthbound (incomplete) and a couple agonizing hours of Episode.

5. It contains a fair amount of potentially triggering material.
And that’s it. I guess it’s time to do this thing!
[…] Tropes (item 4 on the “here’s what I know about Worm going in” list from your intro post [here]) actually goes like this: “Over the first few plot arcs, though, the story shifts away from the […]
