Act 7 - Thanks for playing
Yeah okay so maybe this midterm was more of an excuse to talk about one of my favorite webcomics but who cares! Also on this website you'll find an essay I wrote about Homestuck a few years back (interpreting the story as a modern creation myth) as well as my previous comic annotation assignments :)

News Posts
While updating the comic, Andrew Hussie would make news posts talking about the development of the comic or other things that struck their fancy. While no longer update, the news post blog is archived on the official Homestuck website.

Formspring
A lot of Homestuck's lore relied on Word of God. This is largely because the timeline and continuity was a mess and people struggled to follow what happened to who in what timeline. Formspring was a place people could annonymously ask questions that Hussie could answer in order to clarify things readers were confused about.
