Oh u, Hussie.

[Spin]

So uh.

That sure was a flash. A very pretty flash at that.

There's also enough foreshadowing to make your head spin.

Spoiler

- IMPERIAL DRONES
- Bro fighting somebody
- Mom throwing a frozen Mutie through a 4th wall...?
- Jake with his island on fire because the volcano's erupting
- Jane on Prospit who sees all this through clouds

Not frozen, probably, and probably not Mutie either; Dave had some weird bugs in amber, so this is presumably the equivalent, kidMom has mutant cats in...something else you seal and preserve dead things in, I dunno.

Another thing that may be important: Scratch-session Prospit doesn't seem to have any prototyping towers/orbs. They were clearly visible in the advanced bass solo flash, so they should be visible here...

I finally caved and started reading Homestuck the night before last. I'm currently only up to where all the trolls have finally been introduced and some of their backstories elaborated on, so I imagine I have a way to go yet, but I'll be back in this topic to read the topic properly and contribute once I'm all caught up =D

[Spin]

Good to see you reading Flyboy! And yeah, you've still got a fair ways to go You've started Act 5, and Act 5 is absolutely gigantic. As in bigger than the first 4 acts combined xD

I have to say that I find the whole four-suit continuum of troll romance to be absolutely fascinating. Although I disagree that it's so far different from 'linear' human romance... Okay, so maybe we don't have similar reproductive paths, but I'm pretty sure that psychologically humans are capable of relationships/romances in all four areas. Still, how it functions necessarily for them is still one of the most interesting mechanisms I've seen in a webcomic. I can see why the trolls are the most popular characters in Homestuck for most people.

Well, this explains a few things...

So, I've been reading for like four straight days now, really into it... finally got to Act 6 and it's starting over with a new cast of characters? ): Without spoiling too much for me, is that it for the old cast of humans and trolls? I will be very sad but will persevere and try to get back into it, anyway XD;

No. They'll be back. You now have 3 sets of characters and their counterparts to remember. Congrats.

The Next Album: A Contest

The MSPA music team has made exactly 20 great albums since the beginning of Homestuck. For the next album, I thought it would be fun to open the music submissions up to everybody.

There seems to be a large number of musicians in the readership outside the music team, who often work on their own HS fan music or remixes. I’ve had quite a number of people express interest in submitting music to HS over the years, but to keep the team from ballooning out of control, I’ve had to draw the recruitment line somewhere. This strikes me as a nice opportunity to give a lot of other creative people a chance to contribute music. The music team was originally assembled just before HS began with the idea that I wanted MSPA stories to largely build and develop through contribution from the readership, and I think this album idea is very much in the spirit of that original premise.

The challenge
If you want to submit music, the idea is simple. Pick a character from Homestuck, and make a song for that character. It can be any character, particularly those in identifiable categories, like the eight human kids, the trolls, ancestors, agents, exiles, Midnight Crew, Felt. If you want to pick a character not in one of those groups, that’s fine too. Keep in mind there’s a decent chance that if your song is picked, it could be reallocated to a different character, since it’s expected we’ll get a lot of submission overlap, and it’s not going to be “The Album of 50 Karkat Songs!” So picking a character for your song is just a starting point for you, and we’ll sort it all out during the selection process.

You can submit up to three songs. No more than that, or they will not be considered! They can be for three different characters, or the same character, whatever you want. You can do remixes, etc. of other HS songs, but we’ll have to run it by the original artist, and they’ll have some stake in the song’s sales. Attach MP3 files in an email to the address provided below before the deadline. Do not send WAV files! Too big. If your song is picked, we will contact you and ask for the high quality file.

Those details again

- Pick a Homestuck character
- Make a song for that character
- Submit up to 3 songs (for different characters if you like)
- Attach MP3 files to email (no WAVs!)
- We’ll get back to you asking for a high quality file if your song is picked

I am hoping to include as much artist diversity as possible in the final list. Ideally, one artist per song. So while you may submit up to 3, if one of your songs is picked, it’ll likely be only one. If you have a lot of music you’re dying to send, hopefully the 3 song max will mitigate any agonizing decisions over which to send.

Submission

Send submission emails to:

homestuckmusic@gmail.com

The deadline is 6 weeks from now, on 2/13/12. The album will be released two weeks after that.

The Prize

If your song is picked, it will be included with the album! That’s pretty much the extent of the prize. You’ll get a cut of the album sales, in proportion with how many songs you have in the album to the total number of songs.

Also, if this contributes any motivation for you, I’m going to try to make a point of using at least one song from this album in a future animation.

I think that should be all the info you need to get started. Everybody is already super psyched to hear what you come up with. Happy music makin!

Holy shit I'm down with this. I need my laptop back. Now.
