This is very sad to hear, and at the same time, I congratulate you for being courageous enough to make that decision;It must have been a very hard one. I only joined this comic to see exactly one update happen, but it was completely worth it . while the story not only filled my craving for teen romance, it has also introduced me to fanventures and thus to the larger Homestuck fandom. Heck, I created this account to praise NF! I started getting more active on the forum and on Lumi's chat later on, made lots of friends, and even think of making my own fanventure. I can safely say that without NF, I'd probably have left Homestuck as just another piece of media. Instead, what I got was a whole new world. Feely stuff out of the way, I hope you can find time to do the things you can really enjoy, and not feel forced to continue this old thread. We're happy to have read it Also, with the whole plot coming to us, who knows how many headcanons and NF fanfic will sprout Just dropping this here. I need more ship material I excuse the blatant self-advertise, but it was asked for. NF Fanfix 1: Cake for the ShrinkNF Fanfix 3: Take her to schoolSpiderbreath will NEVER die. Even if John dies.

I will miss Nightfall, but I understand the feeling of not feeling motivated to continue a fanfiction. Even if the story isn't finished, I want to know how it ends. I will see that last animation and continue with my life. Happy trails, folks!
EDIT 1: I missed all the JohnVris art! Thanks, TsunaF2P!

You're Welcome Now that Nightfall is over, we have to find a way to keep Johnvris alive, of the few things we can do is pray that Hussie relives this ship, but obviously he will not.

I was about to suggest that the shippers unite and make some kind of collab JonVris fanfic, but I'm not sure if that's such a good idea.

Thank you all for your understanding. It is much appreciated.
I'm hoping to release more information in a structure sort of like this, but we will see how it pans out:
-First I will elaborate more on why exactly Nightfall cannot be continued, I'll get into some of the changes in my life that caused this, just so you have some context.
-I will start writing up and posting rough outlines, unfinished dialouge, and possibly sketches of the rest of Nightfall, piece by piece.
-Im also hoping to mock up some rough flash storyboards towards the end, to help better add to the intent of the ending I had planned.
-At the end, once everything is wrapped up, I may talk more about Nightfall 2.0, a project I probably won't be posting in webcomic form, or any form for quite some time, but will be inspired by what I learned from Nightfall, and be an entirely original work devoid of any relation to Homestuck (and will involve a blue alien babe and a simple earth boy, who will hopefully be significantly less bland than John)

I watched the animation, Neon, and it is awesome! You have become a great artist, and you have a future in animation! Also, it isn't that hard to make a more interesting character than John. I think John is the way he is because of the need of a character people can identify with. Of course, that tactic hasn't worked yet, and this is why people prefer Abridge! Kirito over normal Kirito. People with many flaws are better characters than boring people that are always altruistic.

Hey, I have an idea! Although I do not know if it's a good idea. When Neon publishes the outline of the end of Nightfall, I think we could make that scheme come true, to give it the end it deserves. I do not know, it could only take place if Neon allows it.

whelp, I'm sad to see nightfall go but I accept your decision, good luck to all your future endeavor's Neon, especially this nightfall 2.0 that keeps getting tossed around, I guess this might not be the end but the start of a new chapter as cheesy and clichéd as the line is.

As I'm writing up the rest of the story in an outline format, my descriptions of each scene are tending to be fairly comprehensive, including fully written dialogue.
So it's gonna be like... the rest of Nightfall but without fully colored pictures? At least until I get sick of writing again?

Well, it's been a wild... almost 5 years now, wow. I'm sad to see Nightfall go, but I guess some things were just not meant to be. Looking forward to the summary of the remainder of the comic, when it's ready. Also looking forward to Nightfall 2.0, whenever in the distant future that may come, in whatever form it may take! You won't get rid of me that easily

damn
kinda sad to see this go, it's been losing steam for a while now and i can more or less understand why it's dying, and i'm not *particularly* sad at it or anything
but it's quite something, seeing a legend fade away like this

Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of communication lately. Life has been pretty hectic lately. To clear things up, I think at this point I am unable to continue Nightfall. Due to a number of things, including personal issues, lack of time, lack of interest in Homestuck, it is just not a project that I am able to dedicate my focus too anymore. It brings me no joy to tell you this. I still have a great deal of attachment to Nightfall, had the whole story planned out. The crowning moment of the story was something I was really proud of, and I'm sad that it will never be shared in a completed format. I do however plan to release an outline and description of the rest of the events of the story. I don't want to leave you guys hanging. I will also release the 2 unfinished flashes. Hell, why don't I show you all one of them now. It is the story of what happened in Future Dave's doomed timeline. This flash has been in the works for like 3 years, and I'd been poking at it here and there. I may still finish it at some point. We'll see. dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76929498/Flashes/DaveVriskflash.swfAlso some slightly related bad news. Dropbox will no longer be able to host images in March. So that link, including the entirety of Nightfall will be unviewable. Hell a large portion of MSPFA adventures will be screwed over. What do D': But yeah. I'm going to type up an outline of the rest of Nightfall as it was planned and share it with everybody at some point. Thank you to everyone who has read Nightfall. I had a blast working on it, and I learned so much along the way. I made so many friends I otherwise wouldn't have made, and I discovered a passion for storytelling, something that I will continue to pursue in the future. Thank you all so much for your support. That's sad to hear but it unfortunately still happened. It's been great to read this in the several months since I've found this, and I'm really thankful for everything you've done with this fic. That flash seems like it would have been incredible to seem when it was finished, and is still really great now! And as for saving all of the comic from dropbox-archive.org might be helpful for that? I'll still enjoy seeing the outlines and and the rest of the story you send out. Thank you so much for writing this-it's been one of my favorite fanworks I've read!

And when all pairings became homosexual, I'm outraged. ... Really. Hussie. I know you love boys now, but even at Kirkwall there were some relations between men and women. Do you know women have breasts? And these are not only for milk. Don't you find them beautiful? Do you know women can grow babies? Yes, these little continuations of your so short life. Do you know they're destined for it by biology - estrogen, mothership instincts? And men do not have those. Do you know that heterosexual relationships were established since the first multicell organisms appeared? So please, imaginary Hussie, tell me, why did you make all pairings homosexual. Did I miss the moment feminists crushed biology?
Or there is another theory that manages to explain this is not bullshit too?
Congrats, you're a queerphobic piece of shit and a bigoted asshole

Hey, Neon! Finally decided to quit lurking and thank you for your great work all these years. Though I only encountered Nightfall something like a few months ago, since then it's become one of my all time favorite fanventures. The plot is intriguing, I love your characterization of both Homestuck characters and your OCs alike. The story has so much soul in it (unlike what Hussie's made the second half of Homestuck become) and I'd like you to know that we are very thankful you decided to share your vision with us. Your decision is understandable and it's also very admirable of you to choose to share the rest of the story with us in an outline format. Can't wait to find out how the rest of the story unravels and what ending you've planned for Nightfall! Also the flash you just posted was really impressive (even if it's unfinished; I can't imagine how awesome the finished project would have been ). And the song got easily stuck in my head too, haha. Wish you all the luck (all of it!) with both your personal life and your upcoming projects, Nightfall 2.0 included!

Congrats, you're a queerphobic piece of shit and a bigoted asshole I mean, he does have a point. I have nothing against gay ships, I don't think gender should be a barrier, but what I do have a problem with is disobeying the character's canon sexuality. For instance, RoxyxCalliope. Roxy is only ever shown to be heterosexual, and even says that she doesn't like Calliope in a romantic way. She and John even started to become a thing near the end of the comic, only for that all to be thrown away when the snaps came along just so they could get one step closer to the gay singularity. But yeah, kankri was being quite homophobic with the way he voiced himself

Uuuuuuuum… well, this is… okay, not going to lie, I kinda suspected this might be happening. That doesn’t make it any less saddening; I really liked Nightfall and it’s upsetting to see an amazing storyteller loose interest in telling/find themselves unable to continue telling their story halfway through telling it. That’s seeming to be a very common thread among the people who I genuinely enjoy following on the forums/MSPFA nowadays. Regardless, I understand that stuff happens, life can change, and you don’t always have as much time as you want or need – I know that (particularly the last part) firsthand – so I respect your decision to retire Nightfall and move on to other things, Neon. You can count me among those eagerly awaiting the arrival of Nightfall 2.0, whatever form it happens to take. Also, that isn’t going to stop me from drawing pictures of alien space ninjas or taking anything you give us via the forums, putting it on my tablet, and coloring it in for kicks and giggles. Oh, as an after-thought, something just occurred to me: there’s still time before March rolls around, so it could be possible for someone to go and retrieve all Nightfall-related images, gifs, & animations from MSPFA/Dropbox and put them somewhere else on the Internet for safekeeping. Like, I dunno, Photobucket or DeviantArt, maybe. That way when Dropbox drops the image hosting box, Nightfall won't be completely lost. Thoughts, people?

I'm planning on moving everything to Imgur in the time being. Though editing 2000+ links on MSPFA is going to be a fucking nightmare... especially given my increasingly limited free time. I also do have all of Nightfall's images back up to several places on several hard drives, so if the whole internet breaks, those images should still exist.

Without it, when the official forums died, Nightfall would have died with it. The MSPFA mirror was the last remaining copy of the entire script (that I now have backed up.) So thank you SO MUCH for making the site! It has been more than invaluable not only for me, but for tons of other creators. I'll probably take a stab at editing all the links myself first and see how that goes, at least work out some kind of system to make the transition as streamlined as possible. But I do very much appreciate the offer! We'll see if any additional help becomes necessary, and if you still have the free time by then, I'd be very grateful for any amount of assistance!

You don't actually have to move the images. Dropbox isn't getting rid of its hosting abilities, it just means that you can't use one type of link for it. You have to right click on an image and choose "copy public link" and then replace www.dropbox.com with dl.dropbox.com. If you've already been doing that, you're fine. If not, you need to get the new links, but you don't need to re-host the images.
