i started homestuck sometime in 2014 using the let's read fandub (i was on an ipad, couldn't view the flashes, and they weren't all easy to find on youtube yet), eventually caught up to where they were, played openbound on my dad's computer, and finally caught up sometime early in 2015, just in time for the last regular updates during a6a6i5! funny enough the final ('final') batch of updates in 2016 came while i was near the end of a reread, which was exciting and a little panicking! i was a really dedicated fan for a few years and even modded a fanserver at one point, but fell off in 2018. since then i only really caught up with postcanon in fits and spurts, but right now the recent hsbc stuff, fraf, and the animated pilot have me more back on board than i've been in a long time!
