It's very difficult to get into at first because the comic doesn't hit its stride till about halfway through Act 2; also, your mileage may vary a LOT. If you like batshit insane bullshit that makes you want to throw chairs through windows because GOD DAMN IT THAT FUCKING PLOT TWIST, you will probably become horrifyingly addicted and stare at the pages waiting for an update. If that aint yo thang, you will hate the fandom for existing and want to set random passerby on fire on the off chance that they have read the comic.
(for the record: I for one enjoy batshit insane bullshit, so this comic is now my heroin :| But I also understand why some people hate it to death.)

- Lament how FANDOM IS RUINED FOREVER
- Complain that FANDOM CONSISTS OF A BUNCH OF SHUT-INS WHO WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING
- say that MAKING FRIENDS THROUGH FANDOM IS "DANGEROUS"
I'd like to point out that fandom as a whole has existed since the 1930s and weathered far nastier fights than you can even conceive of; it survived World War II and it survived the continual infighting among fans during the 1940s (seriously you would not BELIEVE some of the wank from back then). I would like to point out that fans back then had many in-person meetups without the internet... and at the same time, there were still many, many fans who never met a single other fan in person and "existed" solely through letters to the editor in fanzines (Harry Warner Jr, who actually wrote the books on fandom history from 1940-1950, was one such fan; he also had a very productive life despite writing several hundred thousand letters and basically being that guy who lives on message boards before there were message boards). Before the internet existed. Fans were writing terrible fanfiction back then - you may have heard of some of the authors: Ray Bradbury, Arthur C Clarke, and Issac Asimov. Hell, Clarke even wrote terrible (though admittedly facetious) self-insert fanfiction about taking over the planet with an itching ray along with his buddies.
Oh, and the arguments about pedophilia and porn in fandom have also been going on that long. Admittedly, the arguments about slashfic didn't really start till the 60s, which most of you actually DID know (thanks, Trek fandom!)
Individual fandoms around individual canons may fade in and out, but fandom itself is older than you, angrier than you, and has been having your arguments longer than you. Get over yoselves. Especially you, Homestuck. I love the canon, I even like the fandom, mostly, but my god this shit is dumb when you put it in perspective. Stop having the same arguments people have been having for seventy goddamn years.
/waits for avalanche of butthurt anons and/or accusations of arrogance

(Anonymous) 2011-04-26 12:40 am (UTC)(link)And I think the reason the Homestuck fandom is so caught up in itself is that, for many people, it's their first fandom. The comic had brought a lot of people who usually wouldn't participate in fandom into the fold, which is great, but has also led to a lot of regurgitated wank.

That person put up some fine vintage onanism back in the day (such as the New Fandom vs. Futurian stuff, here (http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1087998.html)) and I found it fascinating reading. More of such would be extremely interesting!

(Anonymous) 2011-04-26 12:28 am (UTC)(link)what's popular now always gets the most secrets because it's what people care about? i mean i know it's annoying, i certainly feel that way about other fandoms, but at the same time i understand that's kind of how things work and kind of the point of fandomsecrets.
if we didn't have the big fandoms here it would be a lot deader anyway.
