And this is why I want to write that review :) Dear sir or madam, I would dearly love to go into more depth and converse with you about Homestuck and my own thoughts on it in conjunction with yours. But although I may reveal myself when the review is written to the people here interested in reading it, for now I wish to keep down low.

Homestuck seems to divide people into camps - the people who love it and refuse to hear a word against it; the people who hate it and refuse to even hear about it; the people who enjoy it and are reasonable about it; and the people who hate it and are reasonable about it. Sadly most people seem to fall into the former categories than the later ones, including several people I know. And as the updates are still coming, I will admit that I don't want to be the person picking out the flaws as I see them while they're simply enjoying the update. No need to rain on their parade.

With a review I'd like to just be honest. People who really hate Homestuck won't read it and the people who think it's absolutely perfect will disregard me as a hater who wishes he could be Hussie. That's all fine. As long as one or two people could read it and it really makes them think, I'll be happy.

If you're interested in having some thoughtful discussion while safely under the veil of anon, there's two Homestuck anon memes floating around LJ.

captchalogue's anon meme and

mspanonmeme are both available venues for discussion. It is with trepidation that I recommend them, as they're both ~~kind of~~ great stinking cesspits, but there's a few folks floating around who will enjoy a good meaty discourse. (I happen to be one of 'em.)

You know, it's always been sort of on my list of Things I'd Like To Get Around To Doing Eventually to write... well, not exactly a review of Homestuck, but something more like a prospective reader's guide to Homestuck. Something that would take inventory of a lot of the storytelling and thematic issues, alongside things like art style, accessibility of the humor, social justice peeves, disability accessibility (them twitchy GIFs, mang), the author's attitude toward his work and fans, and so on as a way for non-readers to more objectively assess whether it would be worth their while to read this damn comic that's swallowed the Internet. As I continue to dawdle, though, and as benchmark updates for the comic whiz by (so long, EOA5!), the more I'm convinced that the list would consist mostly of IT'S LONG AS BALLS, SERIOUSLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MONTH OF YOUR LIFE TO SET ASIDE TO READ THIS THING DON'T BOTHER BECAUSE IT IS LONG AS BALLS :Y

Well, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor, OP, and I hope to see your review pop up somewhere around the 'Net soon!

oh my god the twitchy gifs

I really want to go and smack Hussie for not putting epilepsy trigger warnings in his website

when you start reading the comic it's not obvious that those sorts of animations will pop out in the next panel
