Henlo everyone!
I've been out of touch with Homestuck and its community for the past couple of years, been getting back into it due to some great fanworks (shout outs to burning down the house!).
I cant quite figure out how the Homestuck brand operates nowadays. From what I've read it seems FRAF is a thing which allows creators to set up patrons and another income avenues to support their fan work, which seems really cool to me! but, was this not allowed before????
I wanted to ask the forum to get a general sense of the zeitgeist around this and how official/unofficial works are handled (not talking about their contents but about how the distribution and production). I've sensed general vitriol towards the HICU lately (in particular coming from the bizarre r/EnglishPumpkinParty community which seems to hold a lot of hate in general, I even thought it was a joke subreddit lol)
I'd love to read what everyone thinks about...
- the development of Hiveswap
- WhatPumpkin (If that even still exist???)
- the HICU
- FRAF
- VIZ Media :skull_emoji:

So how do we (fans) feel about the current landscape?
