i'm a little shocked how common the idea the credits are considered somehow outside of homestuck proper? they're in the comic! it's page 8130!

to piggyback off a little bit off of 0dd: how canon are frafworks? fraf is described outright as a "fanwork collective" and so are maybe "less canon" than bc or the epilogues or something. but then of course, there is that coveted hussie license...

obviously there are a number of works that are less contingent on the plot of homestuck, but what about direct sequels - bdth or homeslice or kittyquest? is liminal space, say, "more canon because floral" is a writer for beyond canon? i like the term "apocrypha" as victoria is using it, but i don't know that i would consider the epilogues and beyond canon apocryphal... to me they seem more canon than like, pesterquest or the skaianet archives.

i think fanworks, generally, have a place in homestuck canon probably more than any other media i can think of. i've been thinking recently about how much fanwork have colored my view of the main text (meta and fiction alike) upon my current reread. my dream hs wiki (seemingly an arbitrator in some peoples view) would have room for fanwork + interpretations on it
