Or a snapchat update.
I'm kind of wondering why people like these. They're not particularly funny and the plot is just... lackluster

>>88648994
Because the people who like them are the only ones talking about them. Compare the response to Credits, the numbers are way down.

Cohen has already branded himself as unqualified for this job.

These snapchat updates are nothing but "Grrrrl power" virtue signaling starring the most garbage throwaway character in the comic, coupled with panels that ramble on about literally nothing using as many thesaurus words as possible to make himself appear a notch higher than a pseudo-intellectual.

Consistency. Any period longer than two weeks where you aren't activley working on your comic (and I mean your comic, not things related to your comic) and it's dead.

Plan things out before hand. Course correct when needed, but have a new plan ready to go when you do.

More probably next week given the context of events.
>>
>>88652660
>>88652734
Don't listen to these anons, they're retarded and jaded by Homestuck's failures. Hiatuses are a fact of life that every writer must deal with at some point or another. Even South Park, which has a ridiculous turn around time, takes one or two breaks in a single season, and of course takes off a few more months for the writers to cool down and work on shit.

If you're going to make hiatuses in your work, do it, but make sure that your actual update schedule is consistent. If you must stop working on your comic for an extended period (say a year), bring your story up to an appropriate point first, and just understand that by doing this you're basically killing your fanbase off slowly.

>>88652617
Make something good first. Homestuck (and really most things that get big) works because it has a distinct premise that captivates and inspires audiences, and a cast of good (not necessarily likable) characters, and the people will come.

The truth is that the internet is shit for criticism. On Reddit and Tumblr, faggots just follow the circlejerk for internet points and reblogs, so their opinion is basically worthless, and on 4chan contrarianism is the only way to get (you)s reliably, so our opinion is basically worthless.

Make something good, then worry about fitting into some arbitrary niche. If it doesn't catch on, keep making good things, and sooner or later one of those good things is going to get you noticed.
>>
>>88652617
Pace yourself. Decide when you want to end it and end it done. No if's or buts. Anything extra stuff you start wanting to do is best saved for a sequel.
just practicing, as in, drawing every day or whatever, that's not actually going to improve your art. You improve your art by seeing a technique someone else has used and learning to do it yourself. that's the difference between people whose art still looks the same now as it did a decade ago, and people who went from bottom of the barrel dA tier to jawdropping stunners in just three years. If you see something and think 'wow, I wish I could do that' then figure out how they did it.

Have at least a two week buffer. That is, be several pages ahead of schedule at all times.

if you only release one page a week then by god your comic's plot needs to hit the ground running otherwise by the time things get interesting all your first wave of fans will have lost interest, which is really bad for your word of mouth

Hey man, the guy asked for specific advice related to Homestuck. A consistent update schedule is extremely important, but don't downplay how harmful a hiatus can be to the creative process.

>>88652883
Hussie wrote Homestuck at the seat of his pants, which is why the hiatuses hurt so much. Other writers are smart and plan shit out ahead of time, preventing this problem.

The mistake that you and >>88652927 and the rest of you are making is letting your personal issues with Homestuck cloud your judgement on what other comics are supposed to do.

Like, guest art is perfectly okay in any comic but Homestuck, where Hussie's near supreme creative control is a primary draw.

Or how plenty of writers work on multiple projects at a time without an issue, but Hussie made the mistake of completely abandoning Homestuck while tackling an issue that he was not properly equipped to handle.

Or how plenty of good writers retcon shit all the time, but only Homestuck has a very specific mechanism introduced that could literally retcon entire chunks of the story out of existence. A better lessson would be "don't abuse time travel".

And similarly similarly, plenty of writers don't deal with their fans, but Hussie fails because a big part of Homestuck's draw was to break down the barriers between artist and audience.

If you just set out to make an anti-Homestuck, you'll just make another steaming pile of crap that makes an entirely new set of mistakes.

Chris Claremont.
one of the best writers the X-Men ever had, and also the sexiest. Everyone was low-key bi, bondage and mind control up to the ears, a girl falls in love with a wolf, another girl gets aged down to a little girl then aged back up again as an esoteric kind of torture

Great point. "Reverse stupidity isn't intelligence."
>>
>>88653006
Bullshit, no one likes guest art in any work. Inconsistency is jarring. I'll grant that Homestuck has a lot of issues that other artists don't have to deal with because Hussie was actively cultivating a cult of personality, but the hiatus thing is applicable to any serial. Look up advice from any popular novelist. They'll tell you that the secret to success isn't to write when you're inspired. It's to be disciplined, treat writing like a job, and put words on the page when it's time to work, regardless of how you feel. If you're not writing a serial, you can always go back and revise.

>>88651562
You see, when I was first reading Homestuck I'd see people discuss stuff and I'd dismiss it as "this is something I haven't gotten to" or "this must've just been something I forgot." With these snaps it's just rambling bullshit that is just rambling bullshit.

Hell, I don't even remember the storyline of Homestuck all that well. There's so much of it seperated by so much time and so many layers of irony that I only remember the characters. And even then, over half of the characters had no fucking personality to begin with.

yes but the snapchats handwaved a couple things

2) how she is able to operate the collar to serve her purposes
>>
>>88648797
Is Homestuck's ACT I artstyle unique to it? I mean, circle/torso but sticklegs and all that. I've really wanted to start a webcomic using that format since it allows me to actually make things without being the best at art already, but I'd feel bad if it's solely derivative of Hussie.

Homestuck's artstyle in general is surprisingly hard to emulate without straight up sprite edits, mainly because of how weird and wonky it is. Note how even in the Snapchat updates the whole artstyle feels off.

It's a strict evolution of Hussie's existing style.
>>
>>88653365
her being a high level god tier isn't a theory. her being head of Crocker Corp isn't a theory.
and being head of a corporation causing all of its technology to obey you is such a common scenario I would consider it obvious
>>
>>88653434
yes because condy would program a loophole that jane can use into the mind control device that is specifically designed to enslave jane

and regardless of whether it makes sense or not, "jane wins because her power level is higher" isn't a satisfying resolution, particularly when you don't even show it
>>
>>88653137
But hiatuses are still inevitable for any creative work. Television shows have hiatuses. Movie series have hiatuses. Anime have hiatuses. Video games have super fucking long periods of jack shit.

There's no such thing as a pure stream of content.

Hussie was way past disciplined for the most part, you can tell by the insane release schedule for the majority of the comic, and the surprisingly rigid and structured A66 Horse Calander Scheduling.

The problem is that Hussie gradually lost control of the game, his life, his work, and eventually his comic, which spiraled out into the infamous pauses that killed the comic.
>>
>>88653006
Having a guest panel every now and then, or when you're away is fine as long as they are credited. This give fans/community artists to show off their style and interpretation of the characters/setting while also getting some exposure.

However, what hussie did was hire a team of his close friends to make canon content that emulates his style as closely as possible. This team also has direct access to the creative process, and have influenced the writing to the point where it was painfully obvious by the end of Act 6.

He ultimately made the fatal error of handing his entire project off to a team of people who have no reason to even touch it, and the comic went to shit. That is inexcusable in any context.
>>
>>88653434
These are explanations that you tell the audience. It's great fan theorizing that fills in the gaps very well, but it's the comic's fault for not properly communicating this and instead (like always) having important developments be implied offscreen.
>>
>>88653461
it's not a loophole, it's an oversight.
'this device will cause the wearer to obey the commands of Crocker CEO'
it's not like Condy expected to fail
>>
>>88653464
Sure, if you're working with a studio, hiatuses are a fact of life. But if you're an independent creator, one of your biggest advantages is that you DON'T have to deal with them. Look at how many shows lose steam between their first and second season, either because the creators didn't expect to be popular enough to get a second season, or because a lot of the staff moved on between seasons, or any other of dozens of a logistic issues. Hiatuses are cancer for ANY creative project, and should be avoided whenever possible.
>>
>>88653513
if a convoluted rule like that isn't foreshadowed, it's retroactive justification, i.e. handwaving

not good enough for this particular asspull, no
there's no reason to believe that condy would be willing to give control of the tiara over to anybody else in any conceivable scenario. It's moronic.

>WE KNOW DAVEKAT IS CANON

They're in for a nasty surprise.
>>
>>88653476
You give Hussie too much credit here. He planned Act 7 since at least Act 6 Intermission 5, which is still before the true extent of the cancer that killed Homestuck was fully understood.

He knew how this was all going to go down years before we did.

The salt will never be as good as when Naruto/Sasuke didn't happen, but it'll be close.

>>88653622
okay lets put it a different way
lets go on your assumption that the tiara and probably some other things were slaved to obey Condy and Condy alone.
between Crocker R&D, Dirk, and Arquius, there's no reason to assume it would be hard to modify them to be slaved to Jane instead, or just build new ones that are

and in the end, in what way is how Jane has a working tiara 'just in case' something where the why and how important enough to warrant explicit elaboration? This wasn't some big confrontation, this was Jane coming across an already defeated antagonist while trying to figure out who is trying to kill her this time. and it wasn't Jack.
>>
>>88653716
Given >>88653006 's complaints about our criticism it's too specific to hussie, but you're not wrong.
>>
>>88653799
Then we should have seen some indication that hackers had cracked the tiara for her. But we didn't even get any clues that she just happened to have a tiara on her person. The Chekhov's gun wasn't depicted, but it went off in the third act anyway.

I don't have any argument to "this conflict was never significant" though. But that's bad for a different reason. I'm working on the assumption that Cohen actually wanted to write a story that was interesting on some level, however small.

well if you don't mind be pulling my apologist cap a little tighter,
we have no idea if Cohen has a timeframe he has to finish this post-story in, but this is not a proper sequel. it's more like an OVA. the crux of the story seems to revolve around this plot to assassinate the gods, so I'm willing to forgive a bit of haste and lack of exposition on things not directly tied to that

>>88654096
still, you'd expect the B plot to have enough pacing and structure to stand on its own.
If the point of these updates wasn't to further the "main plot", then it was just to show jane being a badass. But he tried to accomplish that objective without any attention to building her up, and the conflict occurred off-screen, so it just comes off as half-assed.

Basically there was no point to Jack being there at all, and Jane was only narratively useful as a damsel in distress, despite what Cohen was trying to accomplish.
>>
>>88654096
But that makes it even worse.
If you're just making quick, addendum content on a short timeframe, you shouldn't be massively shaking up the status quo and further tangling the narrative. Most supplementary OVAs aim to be simple but effective additions, not hasty continuations.
>>
>>88654230
>then it was just to show jane being a badass.
the impression I've gotten is that the point is to show Jane and a few other gods have gotten really aloof and callous. Jane doesn't care why she's being targeted, doesn't consider if she actually did something to provoke this attempt, and cracks a joke as she enslaves Jack despite having been similarly enslaved herself.
>>

>>88654289
Well, it would fit with his vow to be more "anti-fascist". But I personally don't think that's what he's doing, and I don't have faith in his ability to pull it off. If you're right, he's already trying to get us to sympathize with the genocider to make the fascist look bad. And earlier attempts to get us to sympathize with Jack Noir came across as tone-deaf even when Hussie was making them.
>>
>>88654367
I don't think Jack is the one who masterminded this, though. I think him and the Felt just happened to be hiding out on the moon when someone else hacked Jane's sendificator. they seemed oblivious that the moon was getting blown up, which seems to be a significant factor in the mastermind's plan

I would consider him redeemed if he was the sole author of a new project that was unaffiliated with Homestuck. I guess I can't stop him from commercializing it, but I would prefer that he dialed down the merchandising.

If he wants his work to have a progressive message, I don't have a problem with that, as long as he thinks it through and doesn't tack on pandering rants that contradict the rest of his storytelling.

They're both mediocre emulations of then-popular styles, but the left is more visually pleasing because it fits the mood of the illustration itself and the negative space compliments the line of action.

That's actually pretty funny. She's claimed to have improved, but it's also showing that she's completely failed to consider negative space in her new picture.

Shut up Dobson. A good artist knows that every criticism is their own fault, even if the reason given is inaccurate. Assuming you're at a level where technical competence is no longer your limiting factor, try to understand where the frustration with a work stems from, and you will have your roadmap on how to improve.

No it's not, this is some amateur hour advice. A good skilled artist can distinguish and generalize criticism but treating all criticism like your own fault is just stupidity.

If you're trying to write a romance and some blunderhead goes "HEY wait a minute you made a mistake, Mr writer, you forget to draw dinosaurs in Romance Comedy you know like t-Rex, triceratop, pteranodon, apatosaurus." throwing a tantrum or some long essay on criticizing why the writer doesn't include their favorite dinosaurs, you'd be an idiot to even listen to them, let alone somehow by twist of belief believe it's their own fault.

People aren't strawmen, devoid of valid opinions or insight. They read your story, and they came away unsatisfied. There was something that your story failed to deliver for them, and it's your job as a creator to try and understand why. Looking only for constructive or insightful criticism is an arrogance no creator can afford. It's not the audiences job to fix your work, it's your own, so learn to read between the lines and identify your faults.

It's the only way to avoid stagnation, because the world isn't going to coach you every step of the way, your responsible for your own growth.

>>
>>88658305
Is it just that people don't acknowledge early SBAHJ as problematic or is it that they've never read it? I mean it's very much a part of Homestuck and it's not like people can't find it to read SBAHJ. I'm aware there are people who skip to Act 5 and ignore vast amounts of the story, but I just can't imagine someone who is an SJW liking Hussie when all of his previous work is readily accessible.

Are you this depth toned? Of course you should consider your audience but only so far as your good judgement can discern there's. Treating all opinions as indistinguishable of merit is an easy way to shit your work down the can. Because humans are different individuals and have different opinions, all you're going to end up doing is submitting to the majority and ruining your work.

You cried 'Strawmen' at "Whaaaah why aren't there more Dinosaurs it's the authors fault for not supplying Dinosaurs!", but one can just as easily replace it with anything terrible, say fat acceptance,token minorities, or in a real canon case gay ships and moral spotlighting for instance.

Was it really a valid criticism that Hussie didn't include enough homosexuality and token forced relationships? Clearly a great many of daft minded fans thought so, and their 'insights' were validated in the comic. Now they're satisfied aren't they? The story succeeded in delivering the dinosaurs of choice they asked for. Your advice seems to be for marketing and producing a product proper, but not for good storytelling.

It doesn't help you grow as a storyteller or understand your work at all, constructively or otherwise. It pleases more people sure, and I'm sure other than the HSG minority here that's certainly true with Homestuck. But in the process of satisfying more people you've sold out your integrity, soul and wit of your work, failed as an artist and stagnated far more than you ever would've simply following your own creative vision.

Andrew Hussie is a self-loathing betacuck numale whose been emotionally castrated by Halftruth and literally castrated by IPGD. All of his friends and employees are SJWs who demonize men and it comes through in his writing of all male Homestuck characters been wimpy and emotionally broken and the female characters as strong independent women who don't need no man.

DaveJade is the only good relationship in all of Homestuck, and here's why:

Both characters built on each other in a constructive way. Dave's primary issue is that he has to be the coolkid. In most conversations, he's perpetually defensive, trying to prove that he's really that cool. It's only with Jade (and Terezi, I suppose) that he's willing to drop the facade even a little. Yet nobody except Jade (and maybe Terezi, though it's hard to say what level of irony she was operating on) actually believes for a second that he is cool. The fact that Jade accepts it is what allows him to let his guard down while talking to her. She enables him to move out of his shell and become his own person.

On the other hand, Jade has enormous potential, but no one but Dave recognizes it. Rose mostly ignores her, except for when she wants a prediction, and John regards her as his silly friend but not a whole lot beyond that. Only Dave sees that, with some help, she could become something far greater than she is, and he dedicates a lot of time to helping her achieve that. Look at the client/server relationships: Rose is pretty hands-on with John, but is more concerned with figuring out the game mechanics than helping John out. Dave pretty much leaves Rose alone after she enters, since he knows she'd find being treated like she can't handle herself patronizing. John doesn't really get a chance to do anything with Jade beyond placing the initial entry equipment. But Dave spends a lot of time trying to help Jade figure things out and get situated.

Basically, Dave and Jade compliment and complete each other. No one else in Homestuck has that kind of relationship.

I really really want lots of nice little dog-eared kids to happen. You got me tumblr. I want a heartwarming family of humans with little dog ears on top like a garnish of powdered cute. I want Dave to be occasionally scolded for his unorthodox parenting techniques by a grumpy Jade, already busy breast feeding the latest set of triplets. I want Jade to sleep covered in a blanket of tiny, slightly fluffy babies. I want Jade to feel fulfilled in her position as grand matriach of an incredibly complex family tree that's incredibly influential in the world. Like her great-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter gonna roll up to a full club, and just flash her ears like they're some obscure but deeply ominous family crest tattoo. And then after she gets drunk and fucks a few guys, she calls up her literal goddess ancestor to tell her about her wild night, and Jade threatens to disown her and bite off her ears if she ever uses a condom again.

Meanwhile Karkat gets lonely, clones himself, spends a few decades engaged in incredibly frustrated failed blackrom, before dying. His clone then gets lonely, and heads back to the ectobiology lab to repeat the cycle.

As the dildo fell from the dresser, displaced by Rose's blind flailing for the telephone, a handle bumped the switch and sent the implement into its obnoxiously loud 'Pleasuremax' setting. Even as John continued to frantically pump away at her, she pulled the handset up to her ear and ignored the looks of exasperation he gave her.

"Rose, do you really have to-"
"Hush, darling. Yes, Miss Maryam?"

Kanaya's distinctive contralto was certainly there, but any clarity in her words was swallowed up by the clattering of the marital aid against the hardwood floor. Rose had always wanted carpet. She tried to look apologetic as he placed her free hand against John's hip to stop his bucking and whispered "Dear, could you?", nodding her head in the direction of the offending object.

He sighed and dismounted.

Kanaya would want it to happen though. She would be the one to initiate it. I can't imagine John being okay with cheating otherwise. Not that he would find the whole situation normal, but he would eventually be unable to help himself. Rose simply has too plush a rump to ignore.

The snapchat pictures before and in the ending credits are canonical.
The stuff since? Pretty sure it's fanfic like Paradox Space.
Hussie's done, already on the next thing, he's leaving Homestuck to whomever, even some unknown clown.

1. The Green Black Hole (I guess, it's not been elaborated on except for the fact that it's sucked up dreambubbles)

A black hole alternate Calliope made. It sucked up the green sun and trapped LE.
>Why is caliborn still there?
He's snapchatting John through time and space. His fight with the kids hasn't happened yet.
>Where's Aradia/Sollux?
Probably trapped in the black hole along with LE.

>>88658680
Not that anon, but you make really good points. However, I'm still left with a concern. Even when you put all your heart and ingenuity into a story, how can you tell that you're actually conveying it in a way for others to feel? How you feel when writing a piece is different from the feelings you get from actually reading it, which is more apparent on the audience's end. I guess what I'm asking is, how would I be able to see my own flaws that are more apparent to others than to myself? Should I take a break after writing then come back to it later, or should I use a different method? I guess the real struggle is differentiating between ignorance, and non-existent problems.

But he was a celebrate, likely with a flamboyant public life. And this is Dirk we're talking about. I don't know if well-adjusted is possible for him.

However, being a better guardian than someone who stocks their fridge with swords instead of food and stealth records his charge to feature in his weird puppet snuff porn is a pretty low bar to clear.

Dave has always been a very insecure person. He'd probably be a great dad with the right partner to support him, but as a single parent I think he'd be a mess of good intentions and poor follow throughs. A sharp kid like Dirk would see straight through him and eat him alive.

I like the idea of him being really popular with kids who think he's cool and try to imitate him. He'd be a great uncle. Alternatively, kids hate him because his cool guy shtick is transparent and they can smell the insecurity on him.

I don't think he'd eat him alive though. I think a kid Dirk would be chill and happier with a dad Dave, whether a full family or just single. Especially in civilization and a normal life. I'd imagine Dave would be over most of his issues by the time he's a grown man.

Mainly that Berkenstal or however you spelt it was going to say "this is the truth of a sort" or words to that effect before she got interrupted
basically that part that was supposed to be the truth isn't the whole truth, I'm in the middle of reading bits of the manga since apparently that gives clearer answers, as well as solutions to the closed rooms for people who didn't figure them out
Oh and also Battler is Kyrie's actual child, Rudolf bribed the hospital to swap them at birth and never told anyone

Actually, maybe I knew that before. It's hard to remember fan theories I read six years ago.

Yeah, but I heard the original actually had better effects, like sword slashes and flashes of light and those sort of things
As for the spoiler, I haven't seen it myself yet but apparently in the manga the actual events are similar to what you saw, but Rudolf tells Kyrie about Battler to try and sway her attitude and she kills him
Right now I'm only reading the episode 8 manga but I may go back to episode 7 where there's meant to be a lot of explanation for the various tricks in the first three episodes

>>88682373

I've always thought Rose and Dave would make terrible parents compared to the flip around, at least emotionally. Both Dave and Rose rely on irony or sarcasm that carry them through life as kids.

Dave wouldn't be able to feed Dirk the attention he needs or craves. Everything Dirk likes is unironic in nature. An older Dave would make Dirk feel very ignored or small, as any attempt at bonding would be met Dave treating his brother's cherished past times as not serious, which would belittle Dirk and encourage him to seek earnest interactions with people online. Jake's bombastic attitude really would work wonders here and explain Dirk's attraction outside of physical appearance. Jake is unironic to the maximum and gives him the attention he wants (even if it means taking it by force sometimes via sent robots).

Rose would be utterly horrible as a mother. She'd psychoanalyze every little thing Roxy does and tear down her self esteem by making her feel like an idiot. In that scenario I'd believe Roxy getting drunk as a way to cope with the abuse as well as look for online validity. It's more straightforward but the emotional disconnect between their Scratched counterparts can tie wonderfully into the 'bad Mom' theme. RoxyMom was bad by being an obtuse drunkard and RoseMom an emotionally devastating matriarch.

Dave at least has the awareness of what his Bro did, and why it's wrong. I think he'd try to avoid those mistakes actively, but probably, without the supervision of another partner, would go too far overboard. Not out of the sense that he needs his child to love him more, but because he'd always feel like his kid doesn't feel loved and wanting to avoid the same feelings that he felt with Bro

Dave only went as heavy into irony as he did because he had to try and excuse how bafflingly fucked up a person Bro is. We see as soon as he starts interacting with other people that he's entirely able to to be sincere if the moment calls for it. What's more, he is a generally understanding and accepting person, I can't see him being not being a supporting father. The only flaw that would really make itself apparent in his parenting is his self obsession and arrogance, like you said, he wouldn't be very supportive of elements of Dirk he didn't share with him, but considering Dirk's weird horseshit, that would likely be a boon.

I picture Dad Dave as a Hank Hill with a different set of values.
>>
>>88684824
But his wife Karkat will support him!
>>
>>88682698
I mean in the scratch maybe, though remember Rose and Dave don't have their upbringings to fuck them up so much. As much as "ultimate selves" was a thing it is basically bullshit and Alpha Dave and Alpha Rose would be very different people.

I think Rose and Dave the beta kids'll be fine once they get through their shit and have a partner who will remind them of the sweet kids just under those layers of irony and passive aggression. We know Rose has a ton of love to give, as much as she pretends to be above it all, and could transition from "pets" to "kids" successfully, and I think a Dave who decides to take the little wriggling shit that is his problem seriously could make a pretty cool dad.

No one's a perfect parent but I don't think any of the betas are doomed in that regard as long as they don't utterly regress to their pre-game shit.

Here's the thing with conveying your feelings and impressions onto the audience.

You simply cannot. No one really can and no one really should. You might have an intended effect or something you want to convey, but truthfully you should also accept that there's always going to be a divide between what you create and how the audience receives it.

This is because the productive process of actually creating your work is so vastly different than your audience receiving it. They can never see all the time and effort, the struggles and circumstances nor endless inspiration that went into making your final product, nor can you see how strangers you'll never meet will experience what you make. It helps a little to know your audience, but still even then.

I think the best way to handle it is focus most on your own processes and work, but let the audience worry about the final product. Remind yourself what you're creating and why and what satisfies your creative vision. If it satisfies you good, if not first, re-examine what your doing and what's working, what's not, what can be changed and how. Think critically, trust your own judgement. If you've done that, then scarcely the secondary option would be to trust your audience according to your own needs in helping you make the best product you wish it to be.

Assuming you're making it for yourself, or whatever reason, that's all creative people can really do. Don't be a people pleaser. Just stick to your vision and make what you want, if you succeed at that feel satisfied. Like I'm honestly not sure if Hussie's vision was a really vague and anti-climatic ending, and personally I didn't like it, but I don't know his process. If that's what he really intended and is happy with, good on him. He succeeded. Whether or not I like it is less relevant to him obviously.

Also,
>The secondary option would be to trust your audience according to your own needs in helping you make the best product you wish it to be.
Was misspoken. Your audience should be a 3rd, or maybe even farther than that.

Before going to the people receiving the product, it can help to have other people to review your work during the process, so long as they're not the same people critiquing the finished product on whatever merit. Preferably be their are people that know they're talking about and what you're doing, and know how to help you in the creative process. Don't take blind criticism, ask questions. Make sure you're getting relevant answers.
If your conversation looks like:
>I think the pacing of Act III is a little slow and Act V lacks structure, what do you think?
PUT TRICERATOPS IN. WHY HAVEN'T YOU PUT THEM IN YET?
>The character development could be a little more smooth and some of these arcs don't seem finished. Did I put the right amount of sympathy for this one?
LOL OK COOL. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PUT IN PTERODACTYL?
>I'm not sure about the tension towards the climax. I'm going for something open-ended and to leave the viewer in shock and confusion, left on an ambiguous note. How should I do that?
NICE XD. YOU SHOULD MAKE THE TREX AND TRICERATOPS GAY AND KISS LOL.

This is clearly not someone you should be listening to. Maybe find someone that shares your interest and is creating things similar to what you are, and align your information. You can do it anon, but the only way of separating ignorance from relevance is your gut feeling. If people don't understand what you have to say and cannot answer your own questions maybe they aren't the sort of people you should be aspiring off of.

A good test I sometimes do when faced with criticism is, if I'm unsure if it's dumb, I try it out and go overboard and send it to the complainer. If the criticism is valid you'll notice with your reception right away.
99% of the time when it's not, said critic won't even notice what you changed and their response will be a secondary request.

That's not really a critique, it's like a suggestion or request. It has nothing to do with your work, so don't treat it as such.

Anyway I think I've gone overboard in your work. I'll say simply, don't point Dinosaurs in your work unless you want to. If you want to do something but cannot or don't know how, that's the only real flaw worth considering in itself. Everything else is secondary to that vision.

(Your vision can also include pleasing other people or making others happy, that sorta thing too. Whatever you want. It's your work.)

it's okay to think that davekat is bad or davejade is bad, thread

the correct answer is that every romantic relationship in homestuck is bad, getting super autistic about any of them is never a winning move

all it would take is for you, the shipper, to stop posting about your dumb ship. if you see someone else posting about their dumb shit, just hide the post and move on.
>>
>>88690240

And before you say "But they're the worse cancer that's shitting up the thread!", no they're not. You're all as bad as each other.
>>
>>88689905
and watch davejade shippers defend the fuck out of their shitty paring and ruin a thread.

Don't you find it the least bit ironic that while you're all infatuated with hating a dumb ship no one here cares about and McCarthying shippers, actual shippers elsewhere don't really seem to care and aren't aware of your gripes at all?

>I'm pretty sure the vocal davejade pissbaby's who inhabit these threads are real shippers
No you see they're fappers, which are completely different. They want to see Dogcock Jade and see her knocked up to having a dozens of dog-babies. It turns them on mostly.

That's not like any shipper I know.
>>
>>88690663
So you're saying they're worse than I thought.

Nothing is worse than the upcoming smug davekat and butthurt davejade shitposters ruining every homestuck thread.
>>
>>88690804
I'm fine with that. Just wanted to show my gratitude for the anon that helped me, and spread these tips to people that feel the same way I did. Plus, I'm not putting down the grey anon in the pic. It's important to understand where these ideals came from so we can get closer to understanding the truth (a term I use loosely).
>>
>>88690945
I was honestly just wondering what it even means? There's a lot of weird new terms that keep getting thrown around these threads.

you are writing a story and satan (the devil) appears in your study.
he tells you that he will make your story extremely popular, but you have to put an "inevitable" ship in it, such as davejade, zutara, fubblegum, etc... and then you have to sink it

do you sign the contract?
>>
>>88691014
>making a deal with the devil over fanfiction
>>
>>88691014
>davejade
Why not Davekat? That ship is way more overhyped than the other one.

Also Hussie will never sink any Dave ship. So, enjoy your retarded OT3 shit.
>>
>>88691014
>I get have a fandom at the expense of sinking some ship I, as the writer, don't give a fuck about

what's the catch?
>>
>>88691073
those were just examples, you're not writing fanfiction. Sorry for the confusion

>>88691100
>what's the catch
the catch is that your fandom will do nothing but bitch about shipping for all of eternity

And if I could wipe the smug faces off every rosemary shipper in the fandom, for example. I would totally do that.

From my understanding of what the anon giving writing tips said, it's to stay true to your artistic vision when creating things. And that's only if you want self-satisfaction with your honest and best work. Not satisfaction given from others that want to change your original ideas in favor of their personal views. Basically, if you want to make a story about what you feel and envision, then heed anon's advice. If you want to sell-out and create a story that appeals to the masses, despite your original ideas, then listen to the majority.

As for understanding foreign terms, I don't know how to help you there. I used to have trouble decoding talks like the ones mentioned. Then one day out of the blue I started understanding everything. I think it has something to do with mental maturity? ADHD hindered me for a time. If there's anything I could say to help you in your matter, it's to look up words/terms you don't know, stay focused, drink coffee, and read books.

It's normal to think Davekat is bad. Davekat actually makes me miss the days of Johnkat.
>>
>>88690771
I didn't know it wasn't an American thing. Shit, anon.
>>
>>88691721
At least Davekat gives you a chance to watch fujos flip the fuck out and call Hussie a bigot for not giving them enough.
>>
>>88691763
That's not really a good thing.
>>
>>88691803
But it is. They've realized that Hussie is never going to actually canonize that shit, and just dance around it and have Dave hang near Jade for the rest of this comic's sad existence. Sure, we might all suffer, but at least the worst kinds of fans are suffering as well.
>>
>>88691763
not that I want davekat or anything but leaving it ambiguous is the worst thing he could have done
>>
>>88691822
This. He tried to satisfy everyone and ended up satisfying absolutely no one.

It must suck to be a davekat shipper. Not only are you the most hated ship in Homestuck, possibly ever, but every chance you have for your yaois to get confirmed is always sidelined, and even the character that supposedly eliminates your competition just gets written out of the story.

Pretty sure only davekat shippers actually like davekat, everyone else hates it because it's awful, or doesn't have a strong opinion because it doesn't affect them.
