Thank you for letting me be a part of this project, even if it will never reach a conclusion, and I hope to continue working with you in the future. I know you're going to create some amazing things! I look forward to it!

it’s a shame because i did love the project, but it was also insane how high quality of a production would get like… i feel like <5000 views? honestly depressing, but you have a ton of skill that should be applicable toward your new projects. excited to see you branch out more!

While I'm disappointed (it's seriously everything I ever wanted from Homestuck) I totally understand. When a creative project becomes more of a chore than anything else it's only going to suffer in quality. Not to mention the mental health of the creator. I'll hold out hope that you come back to it someday, but by no means do I think you should HAVE to. Thank you for giving us this project and all the good that's come from it! 💛

Devastated because I found your channel literally yesterday or the day before that and watched a solid five hours of Homestuck… but you gotta do what you gotta do 👏

Unfortunate. HSAU was great while it lasted. Personally I find the direction it was going to be very very fascinating and would have loved to see where went. One thing I’d love to see from it, even if informally would, be an outline as to how the rest of the AU story would have progressed.

Loved HS:AU and am sad to see it go but I understand why you’re dropping it. I was actually just relistening to the rewrite podcast when I found this post. Thank you for the amazing story ^^ (Also would be so hype to just see what wouldve happened had the story continued as like an outline or whatever)

Sad to see the only real rewrite I've enjoyed go unfinished, but completely understand

Is there any chance of us getting an outline of what the other half of the story would’ve looked like? Respect the decision though, it’s impressive that a project like this stayed so good for so long in the first place.

Hussie was essentially possessed with the spirit of cocaine, I don't blame you one ounce for calling it quits, however sad I feel that more won't come. I'd rather get stuff made from the heart, or nothing at all, than watch the bitterness of dragging oneself forward through undesirable muck.

Since youre no longer going to continue homestuck alternate universe, do you still plan on finishing the classpect essays or are you putting those down as well?

aaaw what a shame, yesterday i finished all of act 1 and was watching the act 2 video, but it makes sense and yeah It's a big commitment that is probably not worth it. None the less I really enjoyed the proyect and i'm going to finish what is left

HOMESTUCK: ALTERNATE UNIVERSE ANNOUNCEMENT.
LINK: www.patreon.com/posts/125796280
The short version is: Homestuck: Alternate Universe is over. For more information, check the Patreon link. I would have posted the audio version on YouTube, but I don't feel like it.
SHORT VERSION:
1. Lack of interest
Homestuck projects broadly don't interest me as much as they used to, and the idea of spending another four to five years on it doesn't sound fun any more. This isn't out of any spite for Homestuck, I just feel as though I'm moving past it.
2. Lack of resources
This is related to point number 1, but I've been unable to commit my time to the many supplemental things that need to be done for HSAU from updating the AO3 to updating the Bandcamp to making promo of the project for YouTube. I have thought about getting manpower for help but I don't feel like the viewership is large enough to actually support this. Basically, this is a vanity project and I can't keep putting money into it.
3. Personal changes
Over the past three or four years that I've had any level of success, the most rewarding material I've made is nonfiction video essays. I'm passionate about discussing media and analysis as well as philosophy and theology, an itch that Homestuck is no longer able to scratch. For a long time, I've felt like a big fish in a small pond and that making content for Homestuck, a niche fandom that isn't getting any less niche, is a game that I've dominated by virtue of essentially being the only person discussing anything analytical. I want to move on.
