Hello! My name is Nekro, and me and my team are creating a Horror Sequel/Spin-Off webcomic named Sovereignstuck. You should follow it, and here's why.
SOVEREIGNSTUCK is an in-progress MSPFA about 12 Teens, Their Friends, and a God-Making Machine - an RPG, simply titled SVURB, pieced together through mysterious scraps of code.
Together, this ragtag team of young adults will have to figure out how to take control of themselves, the narrative, and win the game. But sovereignty over the story itself isn't something that can be taken without pulling a few teeth, and it's up to them to decide whether it's their own, or somebody else's...
Our main characters are a group of 12 - 10 Trolls, one Human, and one Carapacian - referred to as The Players. They all hail from the planet Afterra, a place once called Earth C by those who created it. Armed with many strange choices in weaponry, clashing personalities, and their own understanding of the Myth of The Construction, this group has found themselves the focus of the Game's attention... Much like their Ancestors, eaten alive by the game and turned into NPCs, and their newfound companions.
Fighting alongside the 12 Players are The Patrons; a team of 12 Trolls who miraculously escaped their failed session one year ago, and have been dragged back into the game to provide The Players some much needed guidance. Some of them... Don't seem too keen on helping, though. You may recognize that troublemaking group - they're Reincarnations of some rather familiar faces.
Horror and antics ensue when The Players realize that the version of the game they're playing - SVURB Ver. 1.0.0 - is not only heavily glitched, down to making even their Aspect Wheel buggy... But also completely unlike the game that was spoken of in legends. How do you even cope with the implications of a Session where Light is opposite to Doom and Life is opposite to Void? How do you cope with a game where the worse your Ascension Death is, the more powerful you are? How do you cope with a game that drives you not to become a better person, but to become a better character?
At its heart, Sovereignstuck is a story about Narrative Control, Autonomy, Growing Up, and Breaking and Repeating Cycles... It's a love letter to Various Mythologies, Spin-Off RPGs, and the insanity that was the 2000's. It's a story about stories, a story about community, and a story about video games.
now first things first: i think the crow strider au is really fucking good, it's one of my favourite mspfas out there, and i *highly* recommend it!
ill start with that just so we're clear here
(in that light, some spoilers incoming as well)
good? good.
now: the crow strider au is very much on the "fix it" end of the fanwork scale, (although it doesn't actually touch the alpha timeline so you could argue it doesn't technically "fix" anything but that's semantics)
and it tries its very best to find ways to save *every* character and goes through loops and technicalities to achieve that, mostly really well!
but well; *everyone*
that includes gamzee
and here's the thing; gamzee gets "saved" equipping him with a modified tiaratop. because in this au, his murder-spree on the meteor was because he was being *controlled* by LE
and while i do think redeeming gamzee might to an extent be possible in an absolved timeline like this one, i refuse to believe gamzee was at any point possessed by anyone but himself
gamzee is not a *victim* of anything but (retro)causality. what cal did on the meteor wasn't possess him; merely "enlighten"
like leto II in dune seeing the golden path
not possessed by anything but grim inevitability
gamzee was never possessed. he was horribly sane
(or in discworld terms, terribly, cruelly *knurd*)
and the tiaratop wouldn't have changed that
because it's all on the inside
gamzee could have been redeemed in the absolved session, but only after a second revelation that the inevitability that enlightened him on the meteor *was no longer there*
tldr: gamzee was never possessed or controlled by anyone. that's the point. he's his own prophet. he's seen the inevitable and has accepted it with mirth in his bloodpusher. what has happened will happen, he'll make it so
MS Paint Fan Adventures I'm thinking about and working on
I need to learn how to make an MSPFA account correctly, since any easy way doesn't work. But here goes the list!
Pre-Homestuck Inspired/Custom
My Little Pony is a retelling of the entire G4 MLP series in the style of an MS Paint Adventure, and not the Homestuck kind. I haven't watched the show since the start of this year and I gotta analyze every single scene from "Friendship Is Magic Part 1" to "The Last Problem" in order to get the story just like the show plot. It's currently in progress, but I didn't speed it up nor have I resumed it that much.
Camplife centers around 4 men in a camping site, eventually making way to a whole little town in a forest area. I've already done a few pages of it and have planned future events out of the comic, which I'll get to. It's planned to be half user controlled and half author controlled.
Homestuck Inspired
TGWTGQuest is about every member of the Channel Awesome community (Excluding the controversial ones, but even then they have to be mocked) and a bunch of bullshit adventures they partake in, mostly centered around the Nostalgia Critic. This might be more of a well-made shitpost than a real adventure because Channel Awesome's content really sucks. But hey, I began writing the planned pages for it! (I guess I have no clue how to make an MS Paint Adventure right, skull skull)
Caraku Levhat is about a young oliveblooded detective who resolves a bunch of federal issues and vast errors near and around the city he's in. The titular protagonist will probably have that Darkwing Duck personality if I can actually write that down.
The narration will be entirely built as a 1st person perspective from our main character, meaning everything that's told will be coming out of his own, hard-boiled words.
I can't read Homestuck so I'll just get some research outta the MSPA Wiki to help me be accurate a bit.
Jokes
Imagine a really bad gaming comic in the form of an MS Paint Adventure, minus the MS Paint and plus the Photoshop. Buckleyquest is basically most of the Ctrl+Alt+Del's comics (I have a terrible sense of humor so I can't tell if they're funny or not) that can be controlled through user input or author's choice. It has the same artstyle as the comic, albeit the first few panels, and sometimes, I have the potential to mock Ctrl+Alt+Del and its author in the fan adventure. It's gonna be the stupidest one I've made.
Dooj, simply put, is Homestuck, except a simple command will either change the storyline, change a character, add a character, or fuck everything up completely. And what's the command? DOOJ. Other commands made up as a weird word will also be included, such as MOOK, intended to revert the comic to its original story, and FOOP, which pauses the story automatically, shifting to the MSPA Reader's perspective.
Dooj may also include mockery against Homestuck, mockery against Andrew Hussie and his friends, sometimes shit I hate to write out, and cameos of characters and scenes from other webcomics.
I'm also making a similar project called KATEDREW MITCHUSSIE'S MAGNUM OPUS, which will mock Homestuck: Beyond Canon and will have a similar premise to DOOJ.
I was also planning to make a Jerkcity adventure but that would probably be controversial.
