I remember finding Homestuck yearsssss ago, thinking it was supposed to be one of those click adventure puzzle escape games where you had to escape the room or something... Then I realized it was doing the junk for me, he got arms, and a cake then it ended. I was like wtf, worst game ever. And I forgot all about it.
Trap told me to read this webcomic called Homestuck, and I was like yeah ok whatever. I went to the site and was like, "Wait, wtf, this crap again?... How is this even-" and then I read it...
It makes sense now, I've read Act I, but it was painfully boring, especially knowing and reliving the begining since previously being deceived. I think I'm going to hold off on Act II for another month before even bothering... Inb4 'read it now': all I can say is if I did, it would only be to say that I did it, and I wouldnt get much from it. In a month, I plan on trying to get into reading it...

DieLorelei Your loss ;P
Do note the first act is mostly Exposition.
You have to introduce the characters, setting, premise, etc, before you can use them
But it sounds like you read Homestuck Alpha. It was the test version of current Homestuck xP
Though if you want something more actioney less wordy there is Problem Sleuth :3
Also, if you had been one of the first fans you actually WOULD be playing it. The way Hussie did it up until Act 5ish was allow readers to choose the commands. Almost every command you clicked was a suggestion by a fan. He doesn't do that now, but he still takes a lot of inspiration from fans and such (e.g. A character showed up 15 minutes late with Starbucks because the fans kept joking about it).

In my humble opinion, for the first 4-5 acts you'll most likely think dafuq is this. As you go on though, and begin to catch up, and become attached to the characters, you'll start to think, how did I used to get by w/o this.
Thankfully Hussie does the recaps in case you are ever confused and lost for a time cx
You gotta just trust the plot though. It's wonderful how everything ties together and becomes relevant.

Haha, I've been told that by everyone, but tbh it didn't work like that for me. I just got hooked from the end of act 1, and zoomed (like really quickly) through... and now I'm on Act 6.
Ugh, it's all so interesting and lovely... But I'm scared because I'm almost reaching the "end" (IE. The last picture released)
Does Hussie release new updates often, or will I be dissapointed and curling in a ball dying in my room? :'(
UltimateBudgie He'll usually update it pretty frequently, but every so often he'll skip a few days.

Is it going to get popular? Cuz Homestuck its self actually isn't, not in the outside world to be more exact. Even on the Internet this is only the second time I've even heard of it.Hussie refuses to release any information on it.
The website gets millions of unique hits per day.
There is a fan base of 20 million+ on Tumblr.
Tumblr is only a fraction, so estimate maybe 1 or 2 billion+ people in the fandom
Homestuck is very spread out or not as talked about. You just have to look in the right communities.
In the creator's words: A tale about a boy and his friends and a game they play together.
But truly it is much more complex than that. It starts out incredibly simple, but then with every plot twist it becomes more and more complicated.
Here is a link that explains it pretty well without revealing plot: http://mspaintadventures.com/scraps2/homestuckKS.html.
Seems like it would be fun to read. Do you happen to have a link with the starting point of the story?

The front page has the first page. Make sure to use the Save Game feature!
Act I may be slow for you, just read and it'll become more fast-paced.
The beginning of every book or comic seems slow. Most of the time they're worth it though. Thanks for the help.
First instance of horned people for me so far :> :
GA: Will You Try To Talk Some Sense Into Your Idiot Friends
GA: So That We May Proceed To Bother Them All On More Rational Terms
TT: I try to every day, with mixed results.
TT: But you see, it's not that I don't understand you.
TT: It's just that I don't believe you.
TT: Because it's nonsense.
TT: Albeit persistent and coordinated nonsense.
TT: Why would a bunch of temporally dislocated trolls want to harass a group of friends throughout completely random points in time?
