Amelia, Worm AU [Complete]

Have you tried Dark Responsive?

 

You can use a sitemap file to control the rate of indexing. I'm one of the developers for an ecommerce site, and we noticed the same heavy crawling behavior. What we ended up doing is automated building of a sitemap, with the change frequency set to weekly.

We have our product category navigation paged, so you can either drill down to more specific categories or go through pages of results for the categorization you're currently at.
We chose to put the category navigation pages in the sitemap. That's roughly analogous to the first page of discussion threads.

 

I tried almost all of them out. Dark Responsive was nice; but I prefer the post author on the side, rather than at the top, of posts. Probably more because that's what I'm used to everywhere else than anything else.

And I'm probably not going to say anything else on the topic, don't wanna derail the thread. Mostly posted the first comment to help out anyone else who's new to the forums thanks to Amelia with similar eye-strain problems.

 

I think I'll use this move as an excuse to re-read the story thus far.

 

It is convenient to have all the posts, one after another.

 

Can you post the official time line?

 

It's posted in one of the first five posts. Yes, Taylor still wears bright colors.

 

Reread the first page.

 

Just binge read this for the first time and damn I regret my pointless sabbatical from SB even more than ever.

This story is incredible, it felt like I was reading Worm for the first time. Knowing that there is no real plot armor to force everyone to live, excluding PTV which will still let important characters die for the desired end result(ref:Alexandria), there were several moments where I had that 'oh fuck, did that just...' clench/tingle in my guts(Charlotte, not finding half the group after the Ziz blast, ect.). Thankfully it was an archive binge so I could just keep going and not have to wait to see what happening, I can barely imagine the torment your reader went through at those times.

Still sad about Aisha and Bitch though, and Regent didn't get his heroic sacrifice and monument.

On a separate note, have you given any thoughts about posting this to FF.net or AO3? Not obsessively fast like this, just a chapter or two a day to give a feel of an update schedule, which speaking as a long time fic reader is an awesome thing to see in your updated fic page on a regular basis. Sometimes the only good part of the day is seeing one of your favorite fics has updated and knowing it will again tomorrow.

This would not only spread access to this truly amazing fic but on a more selfish note would put it within range for quick and easy downloading with Fanfiction Downloader so I can keep it forever with no hassle.

 

HAHAHA, Oh man you have no idea.

Amelia's one of those fics that's practically got 2 more chapters up by the time your done reading the first new chapter. We've been quite spoiled by TanaNari's 2-3 updates a day schedule.

It is (was) a running joke on SB that none of the cliffhangers were actually suspenseful, since we'd find out what happened so fast. In fact, the temp ban that triggered the move to QQ triggered a few comments that we finally had a suspenseful cliffhanger, lol.


Also, thanks to the link to the fanfiction downloader, it's awesome. I've always just manually saved full copies of the webpages if I wanted to backup a copy of a fic (though once or twice for the REALLY long ones I used a spider bot to just copy that whole chunk of the website...the Harry Potter Sacrifices series by Lightning on the Wave comes to mind... Slash, but one of the best-written pieces of fanfiction I've ever come across, and at 3,075,741 words, is almost twice the length of Worm) .

 

Nice to see this great story here!

 

Second coming of.....that one person who posted a 120k word fic in a 28 hour period without sleeping?

Fuck, it's been so long I don't even remember the names!

Yeah, I didn't take the FF.net purge very well. I went to my 2000+ faves list at the time, went to the end of the list and worked my way backwards downloading pretty much everything. Originally used FLAG until ff.net purposefully prevented that site from working despite having been told it was allowed earlier and then swapped to that.

My fanfics folder is sitting at about 1.5 GB with over 3k fics.

 

*drools*

the list of things I wouldn't do to get that is short indeed.

 

If you know of a completely free(I am literally in the red, shoveling snow is barely paying my bills) data storage location, either for my use or someone else's that they will let me access to upload it, where I could zip and throw them up I would be willing to put it up for general access.

It's 75% Harry Potter and Naruto, maybe 15% Ranma, and the rest various things that caught my attention at the time. Not all of them are good either, I grabbed everything that existed on my faves list at the time and have kept up as they are updated. The list itself is composed of anything good enough to fave when I read it which has changed so there is some absolute garbage in there that was good enough to fit my mood when I read it that I haven't bothered to filter out but I would say the majority of it is decent.

I do have rare ones that have since been deleted like Axome's Rouge Fox, which for some stupid reason he deleted when he decided not to continue it 150k words in, and most of pentupfury's lemon fics which were wiped entirely by the purge at the very beginning.

 

And AO3's built-in system. I really want to be able to Kindle this story soooo much. Honestly that was what made me able to binge Silencio.

 

It's a fanfic, so honestly I don't care what people do with it. I don't own the vast majority of the story/setting. Someone wants to move it to Ao3... they're free to do so. I wouldn't mind having proper credit, but I don't even care about *that* much.

However... it took me, like, EIGHT HOURS to transfer this story here, and even then it's not complete... No hurry to repeat this experience. Ever.

 

I know, it's a sad day when Missy doesn't get to give someone a black eye. I think the above bolded line read a little awkwardly, but otherwise it's a good chapter. Finally calling Lisa out on some of her bullshit probably should have happened early, but the characters have been so busy, it isn't a stretch to say they were preoccupied with other things.

Hmm...Pantheon Party? Sounds good, and dangerous. They all seem responsible enough not to try and sneak in alcohol...although Zach might spike Amelia and Taylor's drinks to finally get the ball rolling on that...or just for shits and giggles.

It's a shame Amelia didn't mention Zach being depressed and in-need of a distraction to Victoria. I have a feeling she'd be all over that, but there's hope if she's invited to the party.

Lisa getting a boyfriend. It probably needs to happen. Or, at least, she needs to find someone that will put up with her neurosis like Taylor and Amelia have. The problem is finding someone sufficiently immune to her powers or with an interference-power to counteract her.

...Newter? Even though I'm normally cautious about recreational drug use, it might be the answer here. I'll think on potential significant others for Lisa, but Weld would be a good choice too...if he could put up with Lisa.

 

Actually, you do own all of the text itself. Every creative work is a subject to it's own copyright, even the ones that infringe another's.
So even if Wildbow would publish Amelia without your permission, you could sue him for copyright infringement.

 

Clockblocker stopped, yet again, he felt someone hit him, again but he knew no one was in the room aside from himself.

He sighed and pushed the alert button for who knows how many times since his transfer.

 

Oh god, is Emma still pregnant?

 

I...do believe she is. Well, if that's what her suggestion will be about, this will be...awkward.

 

Wow... pregnant? Since when???

 

Emma had several pseudo-fetuses implanted in her by Bonesaw, but I though the Cauldron vial trigger event rendered her reproductive organs nonfunctional, nor where the fetuses viable in the first place.

 

Riley implanted seven embryos in Emma before she got the Cauldron vial in order to encourage it to give her Tinker powers. So, in theory, she's pregnant with septuplets.

EDIT: Damn it, Imp, you're supposed to be dead!

 

Even Lisa gets to be happy!

I like how you handled this. You like to create drama, but youre really good at doing it in character. No idiot balls here.

 

I'm pretty sure they were not even real embryos in the first place, just tissue matter that tricked the Cauldron vial trigger.

 

Add to that Emma mentioned, while in one of her tinker-fugues, that her reproductive system had been overwritten by her Breaker states.

Now, that may have just been TanaNari's way of jossing the whole pregnancy-thing, but it could also be a double-bluff if Emma now has something not immediately recognizable as a human reproductive system which has been seeing to her potential pregnancies.

Granted, I'm preeeety sure that we're going down the wrong road with this speculation. I'm wagering its something none of us are really going to see coming, probably something that's happened because of a chain-reaction of events set off-screen...

Induction of new members?

Announcing Pantheon as a sovereign political entity?

Someone ELSE is pregnant?

 

There was a bit of a potential foreshadowing with Danny not wrapping it.

 

Unless the trigger made them viable. I'm pretty sure in the same dialogue Bonesaw mentioned something along the lines that Trigger Events cause people with terminal illnesses to become healthy, or something along those lines? Perhaps it made the fetuses all viable.

Just spitballing.
