Change of plans

Originally when creating this blog I was confused and thought the blog would be the focus of the web site project. As such is not the case, This blog will no longer focus on educating people about Homestuck as that will be saved for my personal website which I will post a link to later on. Instead this will simply focus on the current events in Homestuck. For example: Currently on tumblr, a small joke war has been going after a release of a fan quiz that determines which would be your "moon" if you were a character in Homestuck. In 'Sburb' the computer game that Homestuck is centered around each character has a 'dreamself' that lives on one of two moons: Prospit
and Derse.
Players who live on Prospit get access to clouds that give the users glimpses into the future.
meanwhile players based on Derse are given advice by the "horrorterrors" that haunt the moon.
Recently due to the test created by a respected fan of Homestuck (this person has created many accurate quizes before hand such as "what is your title and aspect?" and "What is your home planet?" (I am the Priest of blaze by the way and my planet is the planet of haze and laturns) So there was a lot of excitement over the new quiz release. As a result a mock war was created over who was better the Derse dreamers or the Prospit dreamers. (the answer of course is the Prospit dreamers, I mean obviously). Anyhow It's been fun watching the fan art pour in on tumblr of people drawing themselves, friends and their original character in either Derse or Prospit pajamas. Once again this is just one of infinite ways that Homestuck seems to inspire genuine creativity from people.
