Re: So what's the deal with fandom X?

Premise of homestuck: So you have these four kids, and they play a game together called Sburb. The game ends up having MAJOR CONSEQUENCES and eventually they encounter another group of kids who played the game before them. And the people who played it before them. AND the people who are playing it after them! The reason it's so convoluted, especially at first, is because Hussie was writing what people on the forum were telling him to do. And the first act is meant to be like the tutorial part of a video game, where you're getting to know how stuff works. Most of it is written in second-person, like a text adventure game, and in 'Pesterlogs' (AIM chats) between the characters. If you keep reading, it will make sense eventually. 4ND YOU W1LL G3T US3D TO TH1S. 3V3NTU4LLY. >:]

Reasons the fandom took off the way it did: The kids are relatable to anybody who is their age or remembers what it's like, each character has their own color, class, and aspect, which is fun for people to identify with (think Hogwarts houses), and there are polyamorous pansexual aliens who possibly have weird gentialia.
