Spanning almost a decade, gaining notoriety on and offline, Homestuck has served as a foundational work in fandom spheres. It has blurred the fourth wall that divides reader, author, player and character, being arguably one of the most interactive works of fiction to exist. 'Bildungsroman' aptly describes the multimedia comic, which employs flash animations, games, and many albums that compose the music for the flashes, as well as incorporating fan-made works, characters, and now several text epilogues written by a team.

What makes Homestuck so special to me is the deconstruction of a typical, fantastical science-fiction narrative, one not told only through exposition, but dialogue and images. The various, switching perspectives and slow build to the meat of the story is what interested me, though this doesn't mean I have zero gripes with some aspects. Rereading this, fourteen years since I started it and eleven years since I stopped, I now have the ability and interest to dive into the deeper thematics and meta that flew over my head as a teenager looking to escape a nominally boring home life. This page is meant to catalogue all that interests me in Homestuck.
