Hey, Neon, I only just recently discovered this fanventure and I really enjoy it! I heard you were thinking of changing things to fit the canon ending, and I'd just like to let you know that I think this is enjoyable as an AU and as-is. I'm sure any tweaks you make won't be drastic though, so it'll be cool to see what you do there.
I did have a couple of issues with reading through on the fanventure site though. :[
1. A lot of apostrophes and quotation marks and some other punctuation seem to have been messed up and replaced with symbols like "â�". This makes a lot of Sylja's initial "dialogue" in particular illegible, because whatever symbols were used are broken and I can't tell what sort of face it's supposed to be.
2. I'm unable to read any of Rainbowtext NotScratch's text bits, since you had to link to the old MSPA forum threads. I know those threads are missing now, but it also means I have no clue what's happening on those panels.
If there's anything you can do to fix this I'd really appreciate it! Meanwhile, once again, this fanventure is awesome. It really feels like it's an official continuation of Homestuck between the art, music, flash, and the way you've written the characters. I also love the new ideas and characters you've introduced; it gives everything its own identity while still feeling like a plausible (albeit canon-divergent) sequel.

CRISTYLE: (via Radio) Guys, Don Elephante just has kidnapped some insane guy who wanted to build a really large wall and transported him off-planet. To make a new empire you have to get rid of every irrational asshole that just wants to do evil for impractical reasons. No one is going to miss Trump. I got a little list. I got a little list of society offenders who might well be underground, and who never would be missed. Who never would be missed!

Yes! ^ this thing ! but... isnt crystal the smiling god? i mean you have seen that smile right? i suppose that could be important information. You are right! You are goddamn right! Cristyle is the Smiling God! She has been manipulating the government, killing kids for fun, kidnapping the protagonists, making time travel schemes, and ruining everything! She is going to unravel the universe if the heroes don't stop her! To stop her the heroes need to do a few things: Rose should make a radio broadcast through Earth, Alternia and Cyronilia; Meenah should start a revolution to overthrow Kankri; Liz should learn how to kick asses with books and slingshots; John and Vriska should make a baby that has Poppop's mustache; Kanaya should make some sciency stuff and make out with Rose at the end; Karkat should complain about all the conspiracies and get ignored by Rose; Future! Dave should get a tanned jacket and a deerskin suitcase to make some mysterious stuff; Jade could make the Carapacians that she shrinked and put in the bowling Alley be big again to fight back the invasion; Raven could be free and be an old woman that stalks people in their homes; and Terezi could get a five headed dragon pet.

So, Terlock got so bored with his immortality he just wants to throw over Nero’s regime just to have some entertainment? Well, I guess after watching the same guy in charge with no change of the way he does things or changes in the system you would get the urge to topple the system too. Not sure how much Terlock actually likes Hades though. His affection may be real or fake. I hope his affection is real, otherwise Terlock would be a 08/15 villain. I like the idea of him becoming “The Starscream” in any case. TERLOCK: Nero has fallen! Shinobi follow me on Hades orders! HADES: Nero, before you go can you help me balancing the budget for this year? TERLOCK: Shouldn’t the treasury secretary help you with that? HADES: Yes, but Don Elephante is only speaking Hispanic now. Also he is on the earth right now, don’t know what he is doing. CRISTYLE: (via Radio) Guys, Don Elephante just has kidnapped some insane guy who wanted to build a really large wall and transported him off-planet.Oh my god thank you Don Elephante.

TERLOCK: Why did he do that?CRISTYLE: I have no idea. As best I can tell, the crazy human primate with a dead animal on his head wanted to spend inordinate amounts of money to build a very big wall to keep some other monkey-people out of his space.CRISTYLE: I think the humans refer to it as "politics."HADES: That is stupid and serves no purpose. HADES: Don Elefante was right to abduct him. HADES: He is a disgrace to humans everywhere.TERLOCK: Humanity is a disgrace to humanity, Hades.CRISTYLE: IN ANY CASE... that doesn't change the fact that the Don has put the human in my spaceship.TERLOCK: So?CRISTYLE: He is very loud and annoying and constantly complains about everything.(I had to do it. It was too tempting.) This is why I need to pay more attention to the Nightfall thread. I leave for half a week and suddenly all this stuff happens and Ralte is at it again.

First off, number 1: I really have no idea why that happens, but I think it has something to do with the specific quotation marks/apostrophes that Neon uses (like ” instead of "). The mirror site doesn't really seem to like them very much, but I haven't really been able to figure out why it sometimes happens and why other times it doesn't. I've been meaning to go through and fix them all, but with 2000 pages to go through, it's a lot of work to track them all down... doing a control-F in the search feature for "�" prompts 4433 results! As for number 2, the reason they weren't originally hosted on the mirror is because they just had so many bbcode tags that it wouldn't fit in the text boxes, so I direct linked them to the forums. However, all is not lost, as the updates that were linked off-site were both preserved in the Wayback Machine! In fact, I just went and adjusted the links on the mirror to point there instead!

Hey, thank you! I appreciate you getting back to me about this. Yeah, totally get you on having to fix all of those pages. The bigger problem anyway was the rainbow text stuff being missing, and you've addressed that. Awesome.

Maybe Hades will set a heard of cows on nero and they will trample him and burry him in feces so that he can never return? that would be awsome.

The question isn't whether Terloc is right in wanting to kill Nero, but whether he really intends to let Hades rule :I i think he would be more inclined to set Hades up as a puppet than not let him rule. Terlock is more of a behind the seens control the ruler guy(cat?ninja?alien?clone?kajite?) He would not like being the (directly) king i think.

Woah-ho, what's this? That one artist guy who disappeared without a trace is suddenly here on the replacement forum, AND he's posting fanart? No, not just fanart. I made a whole dang fan comic, starring Nightfall!Vriska and another certain character that'll be sure to make Neon squeal in delight. And I'd put most of it under a spoiler tag in order to preserve page length, if I knew how the heck to do that on this forum. :/ (I mean I'll try anyway but I don't know if it works) Really this was mostly an experiment to see how well I could imitate Neon's art style, and I'd say it worked out pretty well. Seriously this is the smoothest Vriska I've ever drawn. Hey Neon, here's two weeks worth of effort in the form of pretty pictures and dialogue. Enjoy! ==> Vriska: Attempt to recruit disgruntled teenage superhero.Chatlog:
RAVEN: You summoned him... on purpose?==>(open spoiler for the rest) Chatlog:
VRISKA: It... It's not that simple. VRISKA: He was already there! No matter what I or anyone else did to the timeline, that wouldn't change, so I thought I'd...! RAVEN: Make yourself personally responsible for the worst thing to happen to you and your friends? VRISKA: I didn't say that! RAVEN: You might as well have. VRISKA: You're not getting it!!!!!!!! I couldn't stop it from happening if I wanted to! The timeline can't 8e altered like that without dooming everything- It's not like your Earth films where you do something in the past that maaaaaaaagically changes the future! All you get is a paradox that creates a doomed offshoot reality where everyone dies anyway. RAVEN: I understand all of that better than you think. And I know an excuse when I see one. Even taking all the time nonsense into consideration, it all comes back to you. You were the catalyst for the many horrible things that happened to your team, just as I was to mine. VRISKA: !!!!!!!! ==>Chatlog:
RAVEN: I struggle to keep my inner demons under control every day of my life. And ever since my childhood, I knew that one day I was destined to bring forth the worst evil my world has ever known, whether I wanted to or not. Despite this, I tried so very hard to defy my nature and fight for the good of my friends, and everyone else, as if I could atone for the things I would eventually do. RAVEN: And now you stand before me and tell me you invited your evil in with open arms. You tell me that you deliberately caused the creation and deliverance of the demon whose existance led to the death of many of your friends, all for the sake of feeding your ego. And you have the gall to try and pass it off like you don't have any blame in the matter? RAVEN: I know your kind... You'd do it all again if you had the chance, wouldn't you? RAVEN: Give me an excuse not to take you down. It better be a good one. ==>Chatlog:
VRISKA: ........ VRISKA: Well, aside from the fact that I could whoop your ass pretty easy... RAVEN: Not helping your case here. VRISKA: Fiiiiiiiine, here's me being serious. ==>Chatlog:
VRISKA: If you're allowed to atone for something you hadn't done yet, I think I deserve the right to do the same for something that actually fucking happened. VRISKA: I won't make any more excuses. I fed countless people to a giant spider for fear that I could be next if I failed to deliver. I started a cycle of revenge and death that eventually caught up to me. I crippled, harassed, and killed the troll I liked. I brought Bec Noir into existance, timeline shenanigans nonwithstanding. All in all, I was a huge 8itch, and completely terri8le in a lot of ways. May8e I still am, I'm not sure. VRISKA: 8ut at the very least... At the very least, I'm trying to do something a8out it. VRISKA: I've tried to atone plenty of times 8efore, 8y giving gifts and trying to get even with the people I wronged, 8ut I went a8out it all wrong. Only now, after all this time to think to myself without a giant spider hovering over my shoulder or some other constant 8ullshit looming over the horizon, do I realize that what I really needed to do was change. And I have... friends now, friends that know about and understand all the terri8le things I did, and despite that, are helping me 8ecome a generally less shitty person, little 8y little. They're willing to forgive me. VRISKA: Isn't that good enough? ==>Chatlog:
RAVEN: ... ==>Chatlog:
RAVEN: We'll see. ==>==> Vriska and Raven: Discover this strange human emotion called friendship.Chatlog:
VRISKA: Five hundred channels, and there's still nothing on! RAVEN: I could have told you that. VRISKA: This is 8ullshit. I know humans are primitive and all 8ut there's gotta 8e something worth watching on this thing! RAVEN: Not a thing. VRISKA: Ugh, it's that show about the happy sponge again. Fine, forget a8out it. What else do you guys do for fun around here? RAVEN: You're asking the wrong Titan. I don't do fun. VRISKA: Don't you? I get the impression you're a little goofier than you let on. I know my goo8ers when I see them! RAVEN: You got me. I'm secretly plotting to pelt you with a giant stankball when your back is turned. VRISKA: Yeah, you see!!!!!!!! You try to sound apathetic all the time 8ut then you say sarcastic shit like that! Trust me, I once knew a troll who was literally a ghost. I know real apathy when I see it! RAVEN: She sounds fun. VRISKA: I'm sure you two would have gotten along famously if she was still dead. RAVEN: Honestly, I think I've got all the troll I can handle right here. VRISKA: Aww! :: RAVEN: That wasn't a compliment. VRISKA: Hah, I know. VRISKA: So! I see you're into reading. RAVEN: Mmhmm. VRISKA: 8elieve it or not, so am I! I don't suppose you've got any rousing tales of adventure in your collection? RAVEN: I do, actually. I can loan you one if you want. VRISKA: That depends! Do any of these tales involve daring sea-faring pir8s and rebellion against authority? RAVEN: No. VRISKA: Damn. How a8out attractive warriors that do 8attle against legendary creatures? RAVEN: I've got one like that. The book is cursed though, so be careful not to let it sweet talk you into doing something you'll regret. VRISKA: Pfft. As if anyone can manipul8 me like some pawn! It'll 8e a nice test of my powers against sentient inanim8 o8jects. RAVEN: Good luck with that. VRISKA: Ooooooooh hey, speaking of pawns, I just noticed that you guys have a chess set in here. Do you play? RAVEN: Sometimes. VRISKA: Wanna go a round right now? RAVEN: I'm almost certainly going to win, you know. VRISKA: I'll take that as a challenge!!!!!!!! RAVEN: Let me finish this chapter first. VRISKA: Hey. Am I talking too much? You're free to stop me if I'm 8eing an annoying shit. RAVEN: Trust me. I've dealt with much, much worse. VRISKA: Hah, I'll bet. ==>Chatlog:
VRISKA: You know something, Raven? You're a lot cooler and waaaaaaaay less terrifying than I first thought. RAVEN: Darn. I thought being terrifying was my speciality. VRISKA: That was a compliment you dope!!!!!!!! RAVEN: I know.
Also a silly thing for the road: back to lurking for me eeeeee

It seems What Pumpkin is finally recovering the forums, but they had to sign a contract or something. Do you have a source on this? phillip Avatar Jun 1, 2016 15:59:17 GMT -4 phillip said: Hey guys! I'm Phillip Huang of What Pumpkin! (please don't hurt me) I'm happy to announce that, a few weeks ago, I was assigned to rebuild the forums! Look, I understand WP has really been dropping the ball on keeping the community up to date with regards to the forums. I wasn't a part of the team until pretty recently, so I can't really speak on behalf of them or whatever policies they had to follow in the past. But I do know two things: First, please do not think for a second that we don't care about you guys. Andrew and the rest of the team absolutely feel the growing animosity and discontent, and we're working as hard as we can every day to try to keep the fanbase happy. By my personal observations, the reason the forums have been on the back burner is because there are just too many other things to be working on right now (most notably Hiveswap--game development is a BEAST). Second, starting with this post, I am going to try to make amends by increasing transparency, feedback, and communication, at least with regards to the forums and their reconstruction. Technically I'm not supposed to announce very much now, but if you have a burning hot question go ahead and ask me here (not PM pls so I don't have to repeat myself) and I'll see what I'm allowed to say. Once the new forums are up, I'm going to try to get some of the other WP team members to start posting on them so they can answer questions about more general things (no promises though! ). A part of this initiative is me trying to contact the old mods and other prominent community members to help shape the creation of the new universe relaunch of the forums (lol mementoviviere you can stop pretending now, Wesley Foxx please check your Skype, Sharkalien I'll try to PM you soon, Blaperile please check your messages). So what happens now? WP probably won't be making an Official AnnouncementTM about this until the forums actually launch. I can't make any promises on a launch date or any features. In the meantime, it's probably best to keep this news and your hypes on the down low. Expect the worst, conksuckiest piece of software that that ever still somehow qualified as a boot forum, to be released as a $50 DLC to the Remastered Hiveswap 6 Collector's Edition. Also, please don't pester the mods to give any info, and mods please don't leak anything else (I SEE YOU "flowey" ). Alrighty, thanks for your patience y'all. We really appreciate your dedication to this community throughout all of these difficulties. Hopefully I'll see you on the new forums! (when they launch, which is never) hope i didnthat right/: And wooo for fanventure! (like your work almost as much as neons btw)

That comic with Vriska and Raven is really funny, ponytailartist. I understood many refrences, including the one that Raven was manipulated by a guy that was like Doc Scratch. So much nostalgia for Homestuck and Teen Titans. Teen Titans Go! can jump to a volcano for all I care! Also, is Flowey a mod in the new forums?!

"Now you must acquire a taste for FREEFORM JAZZ."
Can I use that? I'm going to use that. Somewhere. Anywhere. Okay maybe not anywhere but definitely somewhere. Perhaps here. Or there. Or maybe somewhere else.
...
Forgive me, I started channeling Terry Pratchet.
Seriously though, that crossover mini-comic is awesome. I am definitely looking more into Teen Titans now. Come to think of it, besides the Shinobi named Raven, have there been other Teen Titans references that I missed? I've seen Doctor Who references and Starcraft references, but...
This is just robotic my avatar. The real me is elsewhere, plotting plots, planning plans, scheming schemes, and generally being an Artificer of Doom.

Gary's haircut is similar to Robin's. Also, the Robin of Teen Titans Go! is nothing like the Robin we all admire! Even Gary is a more moral person than that bastard version of Robin!
