The fact that there are so many AUs in this fandom in the first place kind of disappoints me as well, because there is so much left unexplored in the canon (many of the mechanics of the game itself, for one), and that potential is being left to molder by otherwise talented writers.

... there is not a cap on the creativity available in Homestuck fandom. Some people writing AUs does not mean there are tangibly fewer fics exploring canon, just that there are people writing AUs.

You're correct; I spoke ineloquently in that regard. I think the abundance of AUs does indicate, though, a kind of disillusionment with the source material - as though the fandom has collectively decided that it has nothing left to offer. Which, even ignoring the richness of the setting, is simply not true. Given that the source is, y'know, a webcomic. That (usually) updates daily.

Though I'm almost tempted to read such sentiment as a backlash against Hussie's jerkassitude. He's spent a hell of a lot of time stacking the deck against theorizers and fanficcers and being a general douche to his fanbase. Maybe everyone decided they were done playing by his rules and fucked right off back to their own sandboxes.

bluh I ramble.

I... I obviously cannot speak for all AU writers, but it isn't disillusionment that makes me develop bloodswaps; it's enchantment with the world and characters, and trying to find where one ends and one begins.

I'm not bored with canon.

I can't get enough of it.
