Well, it seems that our long journey is finally (or with the epilouge, just about) over. But the story will probably linger in our minds for awhile. So, during that time, what will you do?

Instead of writing fanfiction of what happens in the new universe, can we just write a better ending?

Like I said on comdisc, I'm still ambivalent about the ending. But hey, if it's supposed to be left to our own interpretation, why not?

+1 for the idea of Unofficial Homestuck DLC We may even afford BKEW to participate Maybe If we dare

There's no option for "You know, people can have more than one fandom and just move on when one ends."

Really though, i'm gonna make my own webcomic, learning from Hussie's mistakes. Maybe even do it in mspa format, like Neokosmos. Still need to learn how to draw somewhat decently before that though. In meantime I'll probably start a discussion thread in fanventure section, gotta have some advice.
I'll also stick up around here, because faint hope for epilogue/fakeout, and hell, maybe Hiveswap won't be bad. Oh, also liveblogs.
This makes me think though. Blaperile said that forums are temporary. How that holds I wonder...

I'll just ... move on with my life. I'm a big fan of Homestuck and have enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) interacting with the fandom, but it's not like Homestuck's end will make any sort of void in my life or anything.

Just move on and enjoy homestuck as it is! It was a nice story and I will continue to happily enjoy it and maybe reread it in a year or 2. I know it's commonly said as a joke but really the true ending for homestuck was all experiences and friends I made along the way. Homestuck was great, but the fandom was greater.

I'll probably stay in the homestuck fandom until it dies completely. There will certainly be a lot more fanventures and old ones being completed now, so I'm excited for that. Plus, we'll probably be following the next story anyways.

I'll still be listening to the music. It's just too good not to. And try to write my own story. I don't want to rip off Homestuck too much, but I like the idea of the text not being in the panel but instead below it. I won't use second person narration, though, I don't want to copy it completely.

Basically just keep enjoying Homestuck regardless of it being over, and all of the awesome fandom too!

I'll probably be mining this comic for concepts for years to come, honestly. A lot of nice symbols and mythos were established and unless Hussie somehow releases a "THIS IS HOW SBURB IS PLAYED WHEN SHIT ISNT FUCKED" supplement or something I'll have plenty of leeway.
I'll also probably be listening to the music, admiring the characters, maybe one day write my own fanfic for once. I'm just happy I encountered this bonswoggle. I found my love, made a lot of friends, and generally got through life for the past 7 years because of it. So I can't forget that anytime soon.

I said "boggle vacantly" but what I'm actually going to do is continue working on LoFaM 4, continues running the MTaHK fanblog, continue writing fic, and basically carry on

I'm currently rereading the webcomic and halfway through Act5. Although I will probably stop somewhere during Act6 maybe. It's kind of sad though another work of fiction has ended too this year. D:
I do have a story that I'm working on. Better get stuck into that now that I'm on holidays.

I'ma continue on as always, just with a slight sadness at the idea of no more Homestuck (other than the Epilogue, which hopefully ties things up) and more focus on Liveblogs (with a bit of sadness that there are no more Flashes coming so the well of new reaction videos will dry up), but MSPA.com's been my open-to-this-tab on my browser since I started reading in 2013, and I doubt I'm going to change it for a long time, as if I think it'll update someday :/ Or at least, the News post will.

I'll probably re-read Homestuck again. There's probably tons of thing I missed reading it first time. Besides that and waiting for epilogue, I'll continue to enjoy the music.

i'll make a spiritual sequel to homestuck and rectify all the mistakes he's ever done like not making everyone gay and make thousands of dollars off of ad revenue alone from the tumblr attention.

I'm re-reading Homestuck! There's a thread HERE on the forums you can read, and I'm cross posting/backing up the re-read posts from there to my own Personal Site, but I'm not going to cross-promote that everywhere since I've got the thread here on the forums as the first place I'm posting it.

Not sure what I'll do. I have other fandoms and other stuff to enjoy, but I'll always look at Homestuck with fond memories.

Instead of writing fanfiction of what happens in the new universe, can we just write a better ending? The premise here is simple. The ending we wanted, that we expected, that we were being led up to. The tried-and-true method of ending great struggles between good and evil. Namely, in the final confrontation the antagonist is simply too powerful to defeat and the heroes are about to lose everything. But then, usually through shenanigans and/or a supreme effort of will, the big bad is defeated. It's over. After everyone has a chance to breathe and get over their shock, there is an epilogue that wraps everything up. Problem Sleuth has this ending. The list of other great literature/game/movie examples is endless. So, as expected, LE does something that ruins the situation. Perhaps someone dies. The ominous feeling is justified. He seems impossible to kill, perhaps even untouchable. And then there is a Cascade of everything that has been set up that compounds and culminates in his defeat. Yes, Alt Calliope with the Green Sun to make him vulnerable(?) and Vriska with the house juju to actually take him down for good. But also Davepeta taking his soul apart, and Meenah fighting again (another life steal attempt?), and the ghost army actually doing something (so many unused powers. Perhaps a fraymotif with all 12 aspects?), and Vriska stealing LE's luck, and a timeline shenanigan or three accidentally set up by RetJohn. Things people have forgotten, things no one expected to be relevant again. How this ties in with entering the new universe has a few options, which I won't list here.

That's exactly the kind of ending Homestuck should've had! Instead, we don't even know whether Lord English was defeated! It just... kinda cuts off? Dammit.

Well, that would have probably been too pedestrian for me, although yes it sounds a lot better than what we got. I would have done something very specific that would have cashed in on all of the foreshadowing in the comic, especially the fact that Homestuck is a "creation myth", and it also would have more directly paralleled the ending of Problem Sleuth. I will probably write my ending later, maybe start a new thread. It is very long.
