User:Quaelegit/List of Parahumans fans
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

- 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]
