Poll: Homestuck: An Escapist Readership Census

[Small Waves]

WTF is Homestuck, I better check it out
*checks out*
pretty interesting, nothing that gets me super excited to watch more but it's a nice little thing.

little thing

It's practically a fucking novel. It took me two weeks of reading it at least two to three hours a day to catch up to it back in March.

 

[Laser Priest]

I read it from time to time.

Which means when I decide to try to catch up on it, I have a novel's worth of random plotfuck to catch up on. It's an enjoyable series with likable characters, but my god is it dialogue-heavy. Also, the plot seems batshit insane at times.

 

[Mauro Carrizales]

Never heard of it

 

[Pappytech]

No one reads homestuck and hates it. The first act is just notoriously awful. I stopped reading it on three occasions during the first 30 pages but once shit hit the fan I is probably my favourite thing on the internet right now.

Yeah, I hear you. After finishing Problem Slueth, and suddenly being shown massive piles of text, I was kind of turned off.

Then John got into the Medium. Then things got awesome.

free entertainment? without me having to lift a finger to get it? and also the right to complain when i dont? hehe, its just that im addicted to it i guess... i get the shakes if i dont get regular updates

Again, I know what you mean. It can get kind of annoying when there's about a week in-between updates, especially when intense and dramatic stuff is going on. But, then again, every time there is an update, it's pretty awesome.

In conclusion, love Homestuck. Best thing ever? No. But probably in the top 50.

I absofuckinglutely love it. Most of my arts retain to it, and I'm currently with a few doods in a fanadventure right here on the Escapist.

 

[SonofaJohannes]

What a coincidence. I just started reading it. I was reading it a few minutes ago. And so far I like it. It started out kinda dull, but it's gotten more interesting now that TT is redecorating John's house. So yeah, I like Homestuck.

 

[Kieros]

No, I have neeeeeeeever heard of this thing 8efore.

Yep, talking like Vriska helps increase the sarcasm. One of the best {Pick one: Webcomic/Interactive Media/Online Book/All of the above} that I've read.

 

[canucmeh]

The fact that most people haven't heard of Homestuck makes us all Eridan's right?

 

[Andy Szidon]

Homestuck updates, like, on average, 5.5 pages a day.

 

[Jazoni89]

It doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I never was a fan of comic books at all, even when I was a kid, though I did use to read a few of those Simpsons comics, those were kinda good back in the day, but then again I was a bit of a Simpsons nut back then.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

love it. andrew has been getting a bit lazy though

Yeah, lazy. Sure. It's not like he puts out like 4-5 full color, animated pages and pages of accompanying text everyday. Nawww, that would be absurd. And it is really. He seems to be pretty swamped lately but even still he produces about 1000X faster than any other web comic author.

4-5 five updates don't mean much when that can be anything from a long and plot important dialog to Karkat just flipping his shit over nothing.

OT: I've read it twice, the second time was because I was confused as shit and decided to read it over and see if that would help...it didn't. I still enjoy it though =D

 

[WafflesandBacon]

I really do want to read it. Gamzee, Eridan, and Karkat seem awesome.

But the adventure game format IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING I WOULD RATHER READ JUNE OVER MOON.

Eric...No...That webcomic is just unmitigated smut pretending to have a plot.

OT: Homestuck has something for everyone. Sci-Fi, Sims, action, comedy, romance, Nic Cage. Admittedly, Act 1 starts off slow and tedious, but Act 2 is where the ***** gets kicked down the stairs and believe me it keeps happening.
