Gaudior's Colossal Homestuck Recs, Introduction

So, it occurs to me that for the past year or so, I have read primarily Homestuck fanfic. Now, I normally read a fair bit of fanfic, but that seems excessive to me. But in thinking about it, I've realized: Homestuck, and by extension Homestuck fanfic, is exactly what I want to read, more than anything else I can find.

Let Me Tell You About Homestuck

Homestuck is a webcomic by Andrew Hussie. It is very popular. Many people are stymied by its length, which is fair, as it is very long, and the first parts of it are not very good (unless you really enjoy programming jokes). However! Hussie was kind enough to recap the first year of the comic, which gets you up to the point where the trolls are introduced, which most people agree is where it starts getting really good. You may want to go directly from the recap to this page, where Hussie stops being meta and gets back to the plot. There will be more meta later, but hopefully by that point, you will be absorbed enough to enjoy the trolling in the spirit it is probably intended.

Why Homestuck Is All I'm Reading Lately
( Cut cuz probly some mild spoilers? )

And the thing is, I just can't think of another work of fiction that has all of those attributes. I would be very, very happy if people were to name me some in the comments? But in the meantime, I will happily keep reading Homestuck.
