In order to breathe some life into this place I figure we can try one of the basics. Maybe a few threads will get us noticed.

I was in college for interactive multimedia development and was very into web comics as an emerging media. I had been following about 20 of them and even had my own short lived attempt at one. One day during a class I noticed one of my classmates reading Problem Sleuth. The idea of having a forum driven story was certainly interesting, and the first time I'd seen that done.

I was still checking MSPA after Problem Sleuth had ended and Homestuck pretty much blew me away at the haunting piano refrain. Being a complete sucker for soundtracks, the idea of a webcomic having one just.. well I'm here now 15 years or so later. I don't think I'm the most die hard fan but I was probably deeper into it then I am proud of.

I was walking through 2nd and charles a while back and found act 1 and 2 of homestuck as a book. I looked at it and thought "What the heck is this?" Later™ I googled homestuck and found it online entirely for free, and tried to read it only to skip around a bunch only to wonder "what the fuck is going on???" I tried to read it from the beginning but I couldn't help but just find the thing extremely boring.

Fast forward a year or two, I watch this Iceberg video and find one about Homestuck that mentions the unofficial homestuck collection. I figured I'd go out of my way to install it and try reading it again, and the rest is history.
