When I was in college, my forum friends, who were really into Problem Soothe, pestered me to read Homestuck. I thought it was going to be really dumb at first, since there had been a lot of crappy forum adventures over on Somethingawful, but when it started getting into the dialogues and particularly the Skaia stuff I knew I was hooked. And many years passed, and many great and terrible things happened to me, but Homestuck was continually and increasingly an inspiration. So I'm grateful for it.
