Homestuckās Ruse of AuthorialĀ Homogeneity
Somebody asked me about a comment I made online about the odd situation raised by the state of Homestuck^2 and Hiveswapās authorship. I sent them a long message but by the time I was done I realized I had quite a few thoughts on the issue, and so this is me expanding that out aĀ bit.
Authorial teamsš
Probably the defining aspect of the āpost-canonā Homestuck era has been the deliberate movement away from Andrewās auteurship and to the form of these nebulous authorial teams. Itās almost impossible to overstate how key Andrew and his personal identity was to Homestuck and its interactions with fandom, and this period represented a deliberate and forced shift away fromĀ that.
