I just wanted to pop in and say I am SO IMPRESSED by the quality of that first flash and it has made me so excited for the rest of this project! I think the reason I'm more excited for this than other fan projects (other than the astounding quality insofar) is that it comes from a place of love, rather than trying to "write a better ending" or something you guys mean this as a love letter to Homestuck and the fandom and that's amazing; keep up the good work! <3

This was so nice to read, and I hope we continue to entertain!

It was decided early on that, regardless of individual team members’ feelings about how canon wrapped up (and it’s a big team, so there’s a wide variety of opinions on that topic), we didn’t want Act 8 to come from a place of negativity. A project built on a foundation of negative feelings wouldn’t be fun to work on, or to read, and the primary goal here is for both the team and the audience to have a good time.

The really wonderful thing about having such a large team working on Act 8 is that everyone loves different aspects of Homestuck, and all of that love is being channeled into this project. Like a big patchwork quilt of fond feelings.
