> > Around the time of the story’s end, I envisioned an “epilogue” of a substantial nature, and made some mention of it. It may or may not be in the works, and its existence is something which I can neither confirm nor deny, because a critical part of the experience surrounding it is to cause you to wonder whether it was something I really mentioned, or whether that was just some insane fever dream you had. So you definitely didn’t hear it from me that I just said the word epilogue again.

> > But even if I did, word epilogue could be a bit misleading. There are many “intermissions” in Homestuck, but they really aren’t conventional intermissions, and in many cases don’t qualify as intermissions at all, so much as the opposite of one. It’s just a word used to label a stretch of content, and the looseness of these partitioning terms goes along with the media’s farcical quality. The epilogue may or may not be the same way. But even if it is, it would still cover material which follows after the end of the story. You say “sequel”, I say “post-canon content”. These ideas are moving targets. Most of the answer to such a question must be spent calibrating the fuzzy meaning of these words as they apply to this media. I’m sure my fans appreciate this very much. Q: “Hey man, got anything else in the works?” A: “Ah! But who can say for sure what truly the meaning of various words are in actuality??”

> Lemme highlight the most important part of that:

> ## The epilogue may or may not be the same way. But even if it is, it would still cover material which follows after the end of the story. You say “sequel”, I say “post-canon content”.

> Hussie just confirmed the “Epilogue” is in fact a Homestuck sequel of some kind. Which is, you know, exactly what I’ve been saying for years now?

> Man this is a good week for Homestuck/Undertale. Anyway here’s hoping its an anime but w.e I am down for anything as long as its Homestuck.
