 Hey BYB. You've brought in a lot of new readers to Homestuck right? What would you recommend as the best strategy to recruit/infect new people? I'm thinking of trying to bring in a fresh crop myself.

I wish I’d brought in more readers than I have, but it’s mostly been an uphill battle to recruit my online friends so they can freakin’ understand what I reference day to day.  The people I followed on Tumblr have mostly already found or decided to read Homestuck - or were curious, and I gave them the tiniest extra push (by warning them that it will lull them into a false sense of security, then ramp up in awesomeness and take over their life) - allowing me to simply watch as the infection took its brutal hold.

For actually convincing valued friends to read Homestuck from scratch, especially online friends, my most effective weapon is the media trade.  This is where you find something the other is extremely interested in / liked, such as an anime or book series you haven’t seen yourself, and offer to experience it in exchange for an equal reading of Homestuck on their part.

Then, you keep each other up to date on your progress and thoughts (usually online via IM or such), and both share experiences the other once loved in a mutually enjoyable manner.  The only difference is that one of you walks away without a life.  :)

eridan-sexual:

a year ago if you told me id be roleplaying smut where im having sex with a merman version of a character i want to bone id be like are you insane

then look at me NOW

if you had told me a year ago that id be roleplaying at all id be like are you insane

this is what homestuck does to you

EXACTLY…

Yeah I’m gonna have to reblog this for the people catching up with homestuck I’m following.

I mean, Homestuck has made me:

  • Read Fanfiction (!)
  • WRITE Fanfiction (!!!!!)
  • Appreciate Shipping (!!!!!!)
  • BUY Merchandise (!s out the stratosphere, I am one frugal mofo)
  • LISTEN to MUSIC (!!!!holy shit!!!!)
  • PURCHASE MUSIC LEGITIMATELY (WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

And god knows what else, if I’d heard I’d do all that the previous year I would have thought I’d gone on some sort of serious medication

BUT THAT MEDICATION WAS HOMESTUCK

And you know what?  If you keep reading Homestuck

You will experience the exact

same

thing
