Doomlord9 said: I will add Quotes as I see them but posting is open to anyone.



Please skim either the index or the thread to see if the quote you have has already been posted. I fully expect this thread to fill up rapidly enough even without chatter, we won't need duplicate posts to speed it up.



Please do not chat in this thread! This Thread is for the quotes themselves, not discussing the quotes!





Please provide a few words describing the contents of the quote, ie. "Taylor's sexuality, Leet's shard details, ect." This will make it easier and faster for me to index.



If you are Quoting from the Web Serial itself, the format is (quote="chapter name and number") replacing the parenthesis with brackets, ie. [ ]



Please use discretion when quoting from Worm itself, we do not need to make this a complete copy of the novel. A few sentences or a paragraph with the relevant information bolded will suffice. Click to expand... Click to shrink...
