And if you do read it in order it'll only make some sort of sense

Now read it!

I want you to solemnly swear that it will make sense even in order.

Complete and total sense.

This I swear.

Homestuck is the most nonsensical thing that makes sense ever. It is also the most sensical thing that makes nonsense ever. It is the most thing ever.

It starts off slow and (upon rereading) kinda more boring than I remembered. But then my think pan is so filled with later events that the beginning just is...slightly lacking by comparison. Really, once a few key plot events start happening, things rocket into awesomeness.

If need be, I will read GC. Been hearing some things about it here and there, but never felt like getting into it much...

--

I will read GC only if you solemnly swear to read all of Homestuck.

All of it.

This was literally my exact thought process right before I marathoned then entire, at the time, 862 pages, now 940, in one go. It took around 4 hours I think.

Nearly everyone I have gotten to read it so far has responded in nearly the exact same way.

You have my word.

And just because we're up to 3, that doesn't mean we've got to stop! Everyone should check it out and talk about it here.

I will start reading Homestuck Sunday night. Unless you think I can get caught up in, like, 45 minutes.

Done deal.

Just so you know, Homestuck is 3000 pages long. And worth all of it. The start is slow, but after that, yeah.


--

4099 pages, in fact

From what I've seen, "page" doesn't mean much for Homestuck.

http://img.imgcake.com/AYhRdKCMAAjGS3jpggy.jpg

it depends on if there's a pesterlog or a flash on the page, really

Homestuck pages can take from 5 seconds to 5 minutes to read. It varies. A lot.

--
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

I remember a time when I thought plowing through an archive of around 1000 pages was a thing. Then I discovered Homestuck. In two years it (combined with the other comics on mspa) has become the webcomic with the most pages in webcomic history, beating out some webcomics who have daily ran for over a decade.

It has done this with music, flash, and bucketfuls (lol) of text. A picture is worth a thousand words, and that is about how long a pesterchum convo tends to be >_>;;

Oh gog, Homestuck. Is this really something we want LtM fanboying over?

It will never surpass Gunnerkrigg.

You need not fear.

It's just that it inspires somewhat obsessive behavior in it's more, how shall I say this, impressionable fans.

Homestuck is awesome.

I didn't like it at first and dropped it like 30 pages in because I thought it was stupid, but people kept pestering me to read it and when I finally got into when things started happening it got enormously good.

And yes it's pretty much, as said, the most nonsensical thing that makes sense ever. The guy writing it may or may not be clinically insane, but in a good way.

I've always kind of wondered what someone would think of Homestuck if they just jumped ahead to some random pages later. Now that you've seen all this crazy nonsense going on, get ready for the really crazy part: by the time you're done reading, it will all make sense.

From: Paratroopa1 | #027
it will all make sense.

Well, it's easy to get lost.

But yeah it does make sense you just might need to hang around a forum to get some of the stuff you miss <.<

consulting the homestuck wiki to clarify a few things can also be a boon.

Gunnerkrigg is pretty cool, I usually forget about it for a while and then do a mini marathon when I'm reminded of it again.

homestuck is the exact opposite though, it's all about those updateeeez and minute to minute clifhangers. also 13 year old aliens making out. and gods. and time travel. and auuuugh this hiatus.

probably wont actually be able to start reading GC until the latter part of next week. Got a bit of a flurry of things that will need to get done. I'll at least bookmark it so that I dont forget about it :p

Homestuck is such a hilariously bad comic. Even the fans of it don't actually care about the writing, it's all fanart and cosplay

Quoting this just so it gets seen and mocked as it deserves.

Also, one of these days I'll read Gunnerkrigg Court, I swear. One of these days!

I've stopped reading Homestuck since July because I couldn't stand the droughts.

Waiting on updates was just becoming too painful.

But it updates practically daily and sometimes multiple times a day. How could you experience a drought?

The latest updates? =/ Everything for a while has been drought-filled. Even if you were to ignore this >month drought for the EoA flash+Hussie being sick+other nonsense.


When that flash bar gets near 100%, I plan to start carrying my Vriska shirt with me at all times so I can be ready to celebrate by throwing it on and watching the glorious animation.

OK, yeah, I admit the Hiatustuck counts as a drought. I meant when the normal update schedule is on.

If you want someone to finish Homestuck, it is generally a good idea not to be a baby and stall out on a webcomic that takes about 1/10 of the time to read, yes

Plus it was pretty good!
