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.

In high school it seemed that most kf my friends were already familiar with it. And then when they discovered I was not, they were baffled.

After a bit I yielded to peer pressure.
