So, Hussie has actually made a news update. He makes a really important point: quote:My intent for MSPA was never to have it last forever, or to concern myself with maintaining a labyrinthine, crudely-coded website for the rest of my life. At some point, the right thing to do was always going to be figuring out how the stories hosted on it could persist long into the future. Tumblr is going apeshit because Tumblr goes apeshit, but mostly about reorging the Hiveswap team out of existence. There's also a meme about the first character you see when you go to the new site being your government-assigned persona, and I got Equius, reloaded, and got Tavros, so to hell with that. Kept reloading until I got one of [Jade/Dave/Kanaya], eventually got Jade, and realized what a colossal WOMBAT my life had become.

I got a colleague to read it. He sped through it in the space of 3 weeks and has already written his first Davekat fanfiction.

Now that the hype has blown over and the counter-hype has blown over there's probably a fair few people wondering what all that fuss was about.

FunkyAl posted:who is left to read all this new homestuck? it has been nine years I'm following at least one liveblogger at the moment who has a good chance of finishing (He's right at Caliborn's claymation puppet shows) and like three others that are dithering around in the open acts and probably won't. My ideal offline format would have lots of cool extra features, like a "timeline" feature where you can pick a character and read only the pages they're in, in their chronological perspective. Presumably there'd be forks when alternate timelines / retcons happen.

i dont think homestuck was built to stand the test of time guys...its a neat concept but it was too dependent on the insular culture it created online. like you really had to be there, specifically because it created a cult of teenagers thst it siphoned money from for just really dumb crap....did the hussies have a stake in grey facepaint...and thats what made homestuck compelling, being tricked out of money by some east coast type. i dont want to look at no stick figure motion graphics! im an adult! i dont care how nicely you digitally paint them. give me something with some panache, for the 4000 hours of me staring a comouter readin this this said however if you still have your problem sleuth books thats worth giving your nephew for a thirteenth birthday or major religious rite of passage

I tried getting into Homestuck back in 2011 or so bc so many people on the escapist forums had avs from there but I didn't realize I could bookmark it and I didn't trust the save function, so I never got past act 1 Like I thought the whole thing was in flash rather than separate pages

Homestuck absolutely holds up. It has a tonne of really good jokes and a fair amount of genuinely good drama too. The experience was definitely enhanced by its gigantic, thriving community though.

Samovar posted:Any chance of a link? I assume you're asking about the liveblogger who's up to caliborn's claymation, in which case Bob can only mean this fellow. He started out liveblogging order of the stick, hence the tumblr name, and also does reactions/liveblogs to paranatural, stephen universe, possibly ponies, and a couple of other things. He's not bad, although his video bits grate on me personally; he's got an annoying tendency to end every single sentence with an upward inflection like everything he says is a question.

Yeah, the streamer's currency is screaming and exaggerated reactions. Karkat would have a gigantic following of both genuine and ironic fans.

Hussie gives an interview in his usual silly, cagey style.quote:Newsarama: Andrew, my first reaction to seeing Homestuck collected like this was...well, "How the hell are they going to do that?!" And actually, that's a running part of your commentary in the book.What were some of the biggest challenges in reformatting the series into a print medium, let alone going back and reviewing your work from a decade ago?
