Much like the whole thread for Gunnerkriggin', some of us don't go there any more, because the slow advance of the plot has sent everyone completely round the twist.

The next step for Hussie is to release the entirety of homestuck in a 4 TB download so those of us who stopped reading after the first year or so can fill up an external hard drive and go live like a hermit for a few months while we read through it in its entirety.

I have made two attempts to read Homestuck, but both times I got bored out of my mind before they left the house. (I presume they do leave the house). Is it worth making a third attempt, and if so is there anything I should do to make this succeed?

Have a whole bunch of other people reading it at the same time, so that you can skim over things and get a cliffs-notes version of the important parts you skimmed over when they come back up again. Without some sort of feedback loop to sustain you through the trying times, I'd be hard-pressed to recommend someone read the entirety of Homestuck at this point. There are definitely nifty bits inside, but if it's just you, and you've got limited time, and you don't really enjoy it, it's not going to be an essay question on the AP Webcomics Exam.

Reading Homestuck at this point has gone from "inadvisable" to just straight-up "don't," there are so many better things worth your time. Have you checked out Evan Dahm's stuff? He's pretty neat!

If the humor didn't click for you the first two times, I don't think a third one is going to change your mind. I still think that Homestuck is good, or at least has enough good parts to compensate for the bad ones, but I also understand that it's not something that aligns with everyone's tastes.

imo reading homestuck is worth if it you don't expect it to be able to deliver an ending on par with the rest of the work. it's enormous, it's flawed, it does things that no webcomic had done before and it has done things that no other webcomic will probably do for a very long time, if ever it was a minor cultural phenomenon at its height, and honestly for good reason, but it's also kind of a mess. it's also responsible for at least 4 webcomics that i read existing and probably more, also the existence of obscure indie rpg undertale i can't tell you if you should read it because i don't know you, but i imagine it'll be considered super important by academia after we're dead and gone i agree with oxxidation on at least the one thing though, evan dahm makes good stuff

Well, the Homestuck-inspired comic I'd recommend, myself, is Kill Six Billion Demons (which has a thread in this very subforum). It is very good.

I suppose they are both stories about the nature of the universe, although they approch that story in a very different way. The funny thing is, even though I understand most of Homestuck I am terribly confused by KSBD.

If you barf every time you have to face this grim reality, you are going to weaken your body until you get sick. I recommend you stop doing that.

So for those who haven't been keeping up, did Homestuck just finally end or something?

Megazver posted:So for those who haven't been keeping up, did Homestuck just finally end or something? The words "The End" certainly did appear in a more or less ending manner. But Husse mentioned an epilogue, and it would not be the first time a story he's written has a confused ending that gets sorted out in the epilogue, so I'm holding onto hope for that.

The previous generation's "arduous thing to read in Prison because it takes loving ages but now you have nothing but time" was Tolstoy's War & Peace. For us, it's Homestuck.

Yup, it definitely ended, especially how it completely failed to resolve anything to do with the main (?) antagonist. That definitely looked like an ending to me.

It's also still (somewhat) reader-influenced, actually.

most of these have little to do content-wise or thematically with homestuck but they would not exist without it having been a thing afaik a ghost story phoenix flair neo-kosmos apothecia (short finished work) kill six billion etc maybe never satisfied?

Yeah usually I avoid this thread because there's too much entertainment made by proven authors existing and being made for me to keep up with new webcomics. But with the end of homestuck I'm kind of not looking for homestuck inspired comics, but general internet adventures and thinking of doing a compare and contrast. Not a blog post but just a personal thing. Like Ruby Quest. that came before homestuck, it's extremely simple. (it's also written by somewhat of a weirdo with an audience of perverts). But you know what? It works in a way a lot of ways I haven't seen any other internet adventures manage. Like it has very good puzzles to the point where the audience anticipated a trap meant to permakill a character and then later use it to their advantage, and how the characters are sympathetic and interesting but it sort of follows from the story and commands. Homestuck's (and most of hussie's other comics) systems were too complex for a crowd of readers to use, and the characters took over. Not a failing but still something I'm thinking about. Ruby quest had a more character driven sequel, nan quest, and I liked it too, but I doubt I'm going to like the rest of that board. I don't even have access to it right now, really. There's also bogleech's awful hospital and some things it inspired, but I'm more looking for things that have finished their story, so I can evaluate how much was the writer and how much was the input and if the writer was seeking input and stuff. There's the gbs adventures by apple white and the pixel guy. I'm not going to read prequel. Whatever, I'm phone posting and expressing what I'm thinking about is hard in the best of times. I guess I'm considering the question of what worked for these things and what didn't.

Homestuck had the problem of being too far up it's own rear end even for a comic who's primary joke was how far up it's own rear end it was. I got farther than most but I just couldn't get through it. Had a lot of cool forums adventures come out of its forums though, not even including the ones that became standalone webcomics. I love forums adventure style stuff and wish there was more of it. I do wonder where all the rabid homestuck fans migrated too; I remember there was a lot of them. I'm guessing my little pony and steven universe?

I love forums adventure style stuff and wish there was more of it. They dispersed. MLP and SU were probably the main recipients, but they also briefly surged to OFF (a weird but cool French freeware rpg), and Undertale probably owed a lot of its popularity to Homestuck's residual popularity.
