"Let's be honest, Homestuck was always to big for itself.."

Yup, pretty much. It reminds me a little of The Dark Tower books - I love that series to bits but it had a similar problem of becoming just too big for its own good and the entire last half became a mess; and like Homestuck, even though I would've liked a better ending, I have a hard time thinking of how else it could have been done. So I just learned to accept it as it is. In a way, both The Dark Tower's ending and Homestuck's ending were fitting for the kind of stories they were (specifically how meta they both are and how their endings kind of pushed through the boundaries of the fourth wall rather than wrap up in a standard and neat way the way a typical "proper" story would).



As for fanfics, I'm not big on them but yeah there's also that XD
