So this is Hussie's plan to keep moving Homestuck merchandise past the end of Homestuck? Interesting. He's got a solid history of profit sharing too, so this isn't just a vanity project, it's a business venture that will probably return serious money.

Unless you want to count webrings, this will probably be the first major collaboration between web comic artists. He's aiming to make the internet's Marvel Comics here, very ambitious.

well, there's what Namco did.

Well this is pretty cool. Odd that last time I posted here it was about encouraging fanfiction and now, if I understand right, some fans might be able to have the fiction recognised in a meaningful way (for them.) Even if it's just Hussie's buddies though I'm up for this. Homestuck anthology series lets fans continue to hold onto something and if one story sucks it won't be long before a new one comes along to also suck but hopefully less.

This isn't legitimizing fan fiction. This is fan cannon. Fannon, if you will.

aNYWAY,

oF ME GETTING HURT,


This seems kind of weird to me, since I remember Hussie making a point some time a while back that people were wailing and gnashing their teeth about trolls dying and characters developing and changing because they seemed to see the characters as frozen in time. They want them to be static sit-com personalities, hence all the short-lived tumblr fan-fiction things showing the characters as highschoolers or what have you.

I guess we don't know what'll come out of Paradox Space exactly, but it kind of sounds just like that sort of thing. People have a soft spot for more stories of Nepeta doing cutesy cat-pun things or Dave and Tavros having terrible rap-offs, they just don't really have a place in the main story.

It kind of has that alternate universe "what if?" element to it all, which I guess Paradox Space invokes since that's where all the infinite multiverse stuff comes in.

Even if Paradox Space ends up becoming this, if it's well done I wouldn't mind. Homestuck would be a much weaker story if there wasn't any character development, especially since it's a story about growing up; but the characters themselves are so amusing that it's fun even just to watch them interact with one another. So if this gives authors (who will not butcher their personalities to fulfill a weird shipping clustefuck) an excuse to use those characters, I say more power to them, and more Homestuck to us.

He said he would be writing some comic scripts, though he wanted that to be the exception rather than the rule. He's got two editors working on it and I'm sure he'll probably keep an eye on things to make sure things don't go completely off the rails, so it'll probably be fine.

The star wars wiki is fuckin' hilarious, they have articles on all kinds of poo poo that exists in our world that doesn't in the star wars world. Like paper.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Paper

quote:

Paper was a material used in the production of written documents. Although it bore a resemblance to durasheet, paper was not designed with the utility of reusability in mind. As technological progress was made, paper was superseded by data storage devices such as datapads and was rarely used. During the First Corellian Insurrection, Anakin Solo used a pen and paper to record the coordinates of each star that was targeted for destruction by the Sacorrian Triad, as well as the time of each, by memory.

The rulebook for the first edition of Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game stressed that "there is no paper in the Star Wars universe" and that the inhabitants of the galaxy exclusively used electronic means of data storage. In addition to the use of paper in publications, such as Assault at Selonia, this attitude towards the use of paper in the Star Wars universe seemed to relax by the time that the rulebook for the game's second edition was published. It stated that paper was "rarely, if ever used" by the galaxy's inhabitants.

It then goes on to have a list of every single piece of star wars media where paper has made an appearance.

The thing about wikis is that even if it's intended as a joke, the editors are still nerds, which means some of them won't get why it's funny, some won't get that repeating it doesn't make it funnier, and some won't get that it's even a joke at all.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Reproduction

Ahahaha ahhh man I love it. This poo poo fuels my loving veins, man. Contains such gems as:

quote:

While mating normally took place in the context of reproduction, sentient beings often engaged in sexual intercourse for recreational purposes, or as a means to express their romantic love and care for one another. In the latter case, mating was referred to as the loving.[10] While romantic and sexual attraction to the opposite sex was considered the norm, some sentient individuals were attracted to people of their own sex, without apparent controversy.

Amongst many species, particularly amongst those that derive physical and/or emotional pleasure from the act, the allure of reproduction was a source of entertainment with various displays and depictions usually centering around the reproductive act itself and/or the organs associated with the act, such as the breasts, as well as other, associated, themes.

And then there's a loving gigantic list of places where sex has made an appearance in the Star Wars canon.

edit: Hahaha the word breasts links to the article about breasts. Star Wars nerds, man. :allears:

The Star Wars Wiki is hilarious because its set up to have the tone of an objective wiki from the point of view of that fictional universe. So instead of saying "The Sith are the bad guys" they say things like "The Sith were an offshoot of the Jedi order that manipulated the Dark Side of the Force From Galactic Era 2 to the Battle of Endor".
