Anyone know where I can grab a PDF version, preferably up to the latest chapter? I'm going on a long drive and it'd be a great chance to catch up.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?
I don't know if there is one. I mean, with Worm someone mentioned such a thing in the comments, but I haven't seen mention of one for Pact. I think Wildbow quietly disapproves of such a thing being distributed, so maybe people stopped talking about it *shrug*

So how are you guys liking the Maggie arc?
All of time and space, anywhere and everywhere, any star that ever was. Where do you want to start?
It's good. She's not as strong a Po V Character as Blake imo, but that ship got erased.

Blake is alive!!

Also Green Eyes is pretty cool.

How will Blake maintain his morality. I hope we can get something of a happy ending.

No Blake, you are the vestige.

I'm pretty sure this is gonna backfire on Mags. Remember taking on a familiar is like marriage you don't marry someone out of guilt. It needs to be a relationship of respect.

Corvidae runs an impressive gambit.

Reviving this thread to say that Pact proper is over. Now to wait for the epilogue chapter.

Wildbow certainly does seem to like killing or seemingly killing his main viewpoint character in the last chapter.

It was a crazy ride. Wildbow has some serious talent.

I am very annoyed with this story. I found myself binging on it for days on end, and getting no satisfaction whatsoever. It's one problem after another, with no triumph, no respite, no satisfaction.
Also, the protagonist is constantly able to functions at times where he really shouldn't be. He should get to rest, and sleep, and heal, and enjoy life a little. It's especially jarring that he can even reason or negociate in his usual states. Does he have a healing factor? Supernatural intelligence?
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Blake does end up with a healing factor past a certain point in the story. Even before hand I think it could be justified at certain points. But there are definitely a few iffy points in the Toronto arc that I recall noticing.
I'm not familiar enough with Pact to argue more either way.
It's worth noting that Wildbow has commented Pact is much rougher overall as compared to Worm and he thought it would require substantially more effort to make it publishable. Or something along those lines. I wasn't able to find the original post.

I think the moment I lost patience was when the Sphynx told him his getting a Cabal so smoothly wasn't Karma being kind to him, and then the big confrontation with Conquest being turned into a BATTLECITY. I got hit hard with Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy. Well, more frustration than darkness.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

So has anyone been reading Pale?

Yes! I'm enjoying it very much. It seems like most of the discussion on Wildbows work has migrated to Reddit.

The tallowman-merger WMG in the comments is pretty awesome and I'm really hoping that's how it goes.
