User:Quaelegit/List of Parahumans fans

From Fanlore
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I was told not to make a "Parahumans fans" subcategory, but I do want to give people some way to browse Worm fans (and possibly broaden the category to Wildbow fans later, but starting small for now). Worm is unusual (though not unique!) among fandoms recorded on this wiki in that there basically is no Powers That Be. I mean, there's Wildbow, who is pretty involved with the fandom, but he's just one guy. Fans literally made Worm fandom what it is, and I think trying to understand/learn about Parahumans as a fandom is best done by learning about the influential fans. So, here's a (start of) a list.

Obviously I'm just one person, and I'm not very involved in the fandom (I've never even made a SpaceBattles or Sufficient Velocity account). Definitely take this list as a stating point, from one person's perspective. That said if you have any suggestions (whether its people to add to the list, details about people on the list, or timeline/fandom drama info) please leave comments on the talk page for this list! -- Quaelegit (talk) 12:18, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Fans (no order, for now)

  • Lonsheep -- very influential early artist, their art depicting the characters often became the "default", used on wikipages and other fans' projects. Left the fandom around 2017 after a disagreement with Wildbow (and possibly reddit mods?) on reddit [TODO: find people's explanations again]
  • Blastweave -- art person on tumblr & other places, also does a lot of meta
  • Chartic -- longtime fan, mods some fandom spaces, wrote some very popular fic & quests, active on tumblr, reddit, spacebattles
  • CPericardium -- writes a lot of fic, draws art??, active on Tumblr and discord
  • Maroon sweater -- very popular writer (Tank, etc.). On Discord, SV, maybe reddit?
  • glowspider -- I see them most on Tumblr but i think they're pretty active on reddit. Brilliant AMVs. (Spiral of Ants most famous probably). Also a lot of fanart and memes. AKA 'brocktonbay' on Tumblr
  • YunYunHakusho -- fanarist, commissioned by Wildbow for Reddit & Patreon art, has also done a lot of art that became "default" in the fandom similar to lonsheep.
  • Angush -- runs the Cauldron Awards, has done a lot of Administrative work and developed bots for the Cauldron server (e.g. the Dragon bot)
  • Kyakan -- was (maybe still is?) one of the go-to answerers for canon details and word of god/word of author information on the subreddit. Also active on Cauldron discord
  • Juff -- very active on Cauldron (Discord server), maintains a fanon list google doc of common fanon ideas that are contradicted by canon/WoA
  • RidTom -- Victoria Dallon number one fan. Commissions a lot of art, active in Discord, Reddit, probably other places
  • Pachycephalosaur, fanwriter, very active on Cauldron discord
  • TSK (not sure best name to use for page -- lets do therealtsk b/c there's already one readlink for them under that name) e.g.


On tumblr (specifically/only?)

Notes for later


Fanfics to make pages for

  • Cenotaph
  • Copacetic --ope, this one has a page. I saw some comments while looking for Cenotaph reviews that could be quoted on this page, don't remember where though.
  • Weaver Nine

{{Quotation|Kite Acceleration — 2/19/2022 7:26 AM Is Weaver-Nine any good? I wanna read something about hero Jack Slash. Kyakan — 2/19/2022 7:27 AM Yes but it just kinda ends abruptly doesn't have a good conclusion[1]

The other being Cenotaph
Parahumans official discord

  • Loaf for a crackfic
  • Mixed Feelings
  • Life Bends Down
  • Taylor Varga -- infamously long?? i remember some people really disliked it but i think i found some positive reviews while looking for quotes on Cenotaph. Ope this page also already exists
  • Taylor Hebert Is You -- idk if this one is particularly famous but i just read & enjoyed it, and I took notes. so probably easy to make a page
