God. I just caught up to Homestuck the other day after starting last week, and I swear I have the best timing in the world.  The bucket.

I feel kind of bad for everyone. John and Jade have to go three years without being able to enjoy conversations with Karkat, Terezi, or Rose. Likewise Dave, Rose, and the Trolls won't have any derpy discussions with John and Jade anymore. At least both groups have a Dave to talk to.

Don't the trolls still have the computers downstairs and the computers in the kids' houses on the planets should still be around. Did I forget something or couldn't they still talk online?

The trolls can't communicate with the kids anymore because trollian can't talk to anything post-scratch. They could certainly go back and proceed to further gently caress with the kinds pre-scratch, but that seems like kinda a waste of time.

Judging from the way their own Trollian timelines ripped open at the end, it's probable that they can't even do that anymore.

Wait, I want to understand this. So Hussie makes MSPA. People make a wiki about MSPA. Some guy makes money by having web-bots scrape wikis and selling them in book form. And then somehow sells them through the B&N website.

Books LLC things are print-on-demand, so it isn't like Barnes & Noble bought a big crate of these bizarrely titled, flower-pictured books expecting to move stock. If you type "Books LLC wiki" into their search, you come up with 190503 results. They just have this weird deal with B&N like they do with Amazon.

Krinkle posted:I don't understand either. Look at the publisher. Books LLC basically prints out on demand text dumps of wikis. They make money because it's basically 0 overhead and there are lots of people who do not understand the internet. So if you happen to be someone without a lot of web savvy and you type in "BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER FANFICTION" into a search box on a bookstore website you can order Buffy fanfiction. Specifically, you'll get a poorly formatted text dump of a wikia of insipid fan characters and stories that even Joss Whedon would cringe at, all for a modest price + tax and fees/shipping and handling! drat chimera posted:Who's gonna buy it though? It doesn't really matter if no one buys it, because it doesn't exist until someone does buy it. Like Bims said it's not taking up space in a warehouse, costing someone money. Once someone does buy it (maybe they're some grandma who just got an email from their grandkid saying "by me a h-stuck, book for xmas thanks lol" and they just click on the first thing they find or something) they just print it out, smash it into a mailbox and collect money. Bam, you now have the MSPA wikia in book format. You crazy person. Mr. Pumroy fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Dec 18, 2011 |

Someone with a disposable income is going to buy one of those books and ask Andrew to sign it at a con or something. I would consider it, but I have it on good authority that he's a sociopath in person.

Now I'm wondering if you could construct a wikia with a single page, and then just abuse the print-on-demand book publisher to make, like, five or ten copy runs of things you wanted in book form.

Cumhand Luke posted:had breakfast with Andrew Hussie at Denny's the other day, very enlightening. while our skillet scrambles were being prepared, he created a lengthy and complex narrative involving a conflict between the salt and pepper shakers. other condiments soon joined the fray as ancillary characters and Hussie asked for twelve extra placemats to keep track of all the storylines/parallel universes/alliances/etc. he wouldn't let me use the ketchup because "it's still dead in this timeline" and apparently i'd have to wait for a dream sequence (the waitress comes by and refills our coffee).

Nice try, but by using the consorts of the male characters Hussie has inadvertently revealed the misogyny at the heart of Homestuck! Just gimme a moment to write a tumblr post about it.
