About

Sam Small is a 14-year-old superhero-in-training. Sam Small can bite through steel and smell you bleed. Sam Small has an addiction to violence. Chum is a story about superheroes, supervillains, people with powers who reject either label, sharks, fishing, Philadelphia, chimpanzees, flowers, cancer, teeth, memes (in the informatics sense), rationalization, cognitive dissonance, how fascists suck, parents, and people who read comic books a little too much. What to expect: A web serial structured like a comic series. Slow-burn slice-of-life with bursts of action that steadily turns into action with bursts of slice-of-life. This story takes a bit to get going, and is not recommended for people looking for bite-size literature or light novels. If you want something with more immediate action from the word "go", this may not be the serial for you, and I recommend you check out one of the other lovely stories on this site. Each arc of Chum is roughly a novel's worth of words (70-100k or so). Feedback can be left in the comments or directed to my private messages. This is a mirror of the Chum wordpress website, which can be found at chumstory.wordpress.com , will be about an update or two ahead of this one, and has a denser, less frequent update schedule. Chapters on Royal Road are separated into parts to help fill a daily upload schedule. Expect at least 10000 words per week. There is now a Chum TvTropes Page and Chum Wiki (be wary of spoilers!) that could use some TLC. Feel free to contribute, if desired.
