For like a year I kept trying to read it and got at most 30 pages in before going "what the **** is this?".
But last week I went in deep, and 15 hours of reading later, I was a devout follower. Apparently some 4Chan guys have been mucking up that doodle game every seems to be into, hopefully that doesn't sour you away from trying it out.

I should probably pick it back up. I stopped in... June? Four months of updates is probably a good chunk.
But then I remember how much 'the wait' sucks and vow to just wait until it's all over. -- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE] http://img.imgcake.com/finegifdy.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

and now you know why homestuck is the best webcomic and best everything ever :p
i just love how homestuck is up in the running for longest webcomic competing against and beating some who have run for well over a decade. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WebcomicsLongRunners -- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out ... Copied to Clipboard!

homestuck is great. sadly, some parts of the fanbase go a little bit overboard, but if that's what's keeping you from reading then you're totally missing out.
ltm you should totally read problem sleuth if you haven't yet, it's pretty good too. -- SunnyX ~ The cream of Robopon fanboyisim http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5711/flawlessvictorynb4.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sorry, I've tried to read through the first act several times and have been bored as hell every time. And you can say "but it gets better after that!!" but by that point I've already spent enough time on it that if I'm not hooked I see no reason to continue, I can find something else that will give me more enjoyment in that same amount of time

Yeah, I read the first 50ish pages of Homestuck and lost interest. Went back recently and couldn't stop reading. It was pretty much all I did for about four days outside of work. Would've read it at work, but my iPhone can't play the Flash bits.
It seriously is as good as people say it is and some. It just has a very long and slow start to get it going. -- Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet. ... Copied to Clipboard!

honestly, homestuck picks up at around the first Strife for me.
and for most people, it picks up once Sburb gets going, which is before the end of Act 1 and honestly not that far into the webcomic. -- Rank 9, Dr. Peace? Pffft, nothing compared to Rank 1, Dr_Football! when thinking of Krystal, does GMUN's pants get overcrowded? ~ GMUN ... Copied to Clipboard!

I do like act 1 in retrospect, but not enjoying it is understandable, doesn't mean you have bad taste.
If you get to the end of act 2 and don't like it, THEN you have bad taste. By the end of Act 3, not liking it means you aren't a human being. -- ~LtM http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/Kim.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Kinda curious LtM.
How do you think it stacks up against Gunnerkrigg? I'm nearly through with homestuck and have to admit, I might be a little more into this than Gunnerkrigg. Gunnerkrigg never made me flip my **** when an event happened ( That Eridan just completely made me lose it. I don't think I've ever say " wtf " so many times outloud in such a short timespan) Of course I love them both for completely different reasons. -- YELLOW RANGER http://img.imgcake.com/YetAnotherShadow/Gameboyfeverjpegez.jpg ...

KimPilgrim 10/22/11 2:31:00 PM #36: |
I love Gunnerkrigg in that it's a very good comic, hell, I bought all 3 hardcover volumes! But Homestuck is on an entirely different level, there's no comparison.
And yeah, the Eridan stuff floored me. I was just like "OK, how much longer till the 5th wall page comes up where Andrew Hussie says ' THIS IS STUPID', because NO WAY did that just happen". -- ~LtM http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr345/Rakaputra/Kim.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Vriskas speech about troll life actually allowed me to come to terms with what happened. But than kanaya became one of my favorite trolls and I stopped worrying about it. but man it had me going for so long.
Man I wish homestuck wasn't so long so when I decide I want to reread it it wont be effing 20 hours out of my week to do it. ( And by the time I decide I'd want to, it'll be even longer) God is it worth it though.
