Hey guys! I'm gonna start trying to transition from posting my fic updates here to posting them at @homestuck-fanauthor-coalition and reblogging them here so I recommend you give us a follow! We've got a TON of kickass members who are actively posting on ao3, I guarantee you you'll find more fics you like! Here's our collection!

The Skaian Pantheon (official promo post)

What if, after they achieved their victory, the kids decided not to skip forward five thousand years?

Not a very original concept on its own (I know that now) but let me put it another way: What if they embraced their roles as gods, terrifying though it might be?

What if, at the end of the old worlds and the beginning of a new one, there was a single city, and three species to inhabit it? What if the unique burdens of a race created to start civilizations were explored? What if there were fourteen survivors, all young adults struggling with terrible responsibility and traumatic events? What if they leaned on one another for support?

You get a timeline specifically catered to me, is what. Apparently other people enjoy it too, if you're inclined to give it a read.

[orangestorapples]

And Ascended to Ultimate Jake English holds the reins on all of reality. A mysterious demon holds the reins of Jake English. And as Ultimate Dirk and Rose come to grips with the fates they've been doomed to walk, a star draws closer... In the shape of a betrayed, angry dog girl with too broken a heart. What lies inside the W(I)LD Heart of the Meat timeline's Jade Harley?

Finally posted Chapter 1 of the next part of Pumpkin Track. Hope whoever reads it enjoys!

Thanks to @madam-melon-meow and @classpectpokerap for editing help, along with folks in the @homestuck-fanauthor-coalition in general! A bunch of other people have also made edit/comments on the first pass too over the years--I don't remember everyone, but off the top of my head, @betweengenesisfrogs and @aslanzounder for sure.

If you want to be included and feel I forgot, please reach out! I'll be updating my list on Ao3 and on here.

[ghostedglitch]

I'm now allowed to say this: My fic for the @homestuck-fanauthor-coalition November Competition was Sotto Voce!

(pronounced soh-toh voh-chay, it's a music term, so it's italian)

Cue absolutely no one being surprised that this one was mine. I told y'all I was not subtle!

This is my longest oneshot to date! Please feel free to leave comments on it and you can even ask me questions about it I love to ramble about my thoughts while writing :)

My thesis:

These panels of Vriska stopping Rose’s prediction, of preventing the woman who just blew up her life from escaping into a coma?

= a spiritual successor to this. To Vriska preventing Rose from blowing up her life and slipping away into a soporific stupor.

[tehstripe]

Dave wakes up to the sound of singing birds, the scent of fresh herbs, and a sharp pain that radiates across his entire body the second he tries to sit up and move. He groans a little, his head throbbing as he tries to place where the hell he is. It's definitely not the barracks - the bed is too soft, and it smells far too nice - but he doesn't remember checking into an inn. Last he remembered, he'd been out on a regular patrol of the woods, had heard a strange noise... "Oh, are you awake?" Dave's eyes snap open to the sound of an unfamiliar voice, and he swears that a literal angel is looking down over him, just for a second. But no - she isn't actually glowing, it's just the way that the sun catches her curls of hair, causing the dark locks to look a warm golden brown under the light. He blinks a few times, then tries to sit up again; she places a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Don't do that!" she urges gently. "You're very hurt."

Read Cottage In the Woods on AO3

Authors are finally revealed, so I can post about my fic for the Homestuck Fanauthor Coalition's August Competition! The theme was Monsterstuck, so I wrote a little Dave/Jade medieval fantasy fic wherein Dave is attacked by a monster in the woods. It also won awards for BEST IN ROMANCE and BEST FIGHT SCENE so I can now officially call myself an award winning fic writer. (:

[grimme-and-specs]

If you are looking for beta readers and want to be among fellow homestuck fanfic authors, come over to @homestuck-fanauthor-coalition and join the discord link in the pinned post. We are dedicated to helping fellow authors make their homestuck drafts come to fruition.

Oh thank you so much! I will take you up on that then :)

[ambrosianlullaby]

To everyone who guessed and was right... Yep! I wrote Do Robots Dream of Eternal Sleep? for the @homestuck-fanauthor-coalition August Competition. I tried to make myself less clockable right off the bat and withheld myself from embedding the song the work is titled after, so... Do Robots Dream of Eternal Sleep? - Heaven Pierce Her Chapters: 1/1 Rating: M Category: Gen Fandom: Homestuck Characters: Dave's Bro | Beta Dirk Strider, Dave Strider, Dirk's Bro | Alpha Dave Strider, Dirk Strider, Auto Responder | Lil Hal Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Robots & Androids, Religious Imagery & Symbolism, Existentialism, Existential Angst, Alternate Universe - Apocalypse, Species Swap, Mental Instability, Fear of Death Fic Graphic:

It ended up winning Most Subversive Interpretation of "Monster"!

Coalition Pinned Post: About Us, How to Join, Important Links.

What is the Coalition?

This is the home of the Homestuck Fanauthor Coalition, a discord-based writing club for fanauthors of all things Homestuck! Any current or aspiring author of Homestuck fanfic is encouraged to join, with the caveat that they understand this is a place for those who have a commitment to bolstering creativity in the Homestuck fandom. We provide a space for brainstorming, proofreading, beta-reading, co-writing, and all other forms of collaboration you can think of! We uplift each-other's works and encourage each-other to keep creating. We are mostly AO3-based authors, but several of us also write MSPFAs, and a few of us even write fangames! So whatever your homestuck writing project, you can find a place among us.

As part of this, we have two AO3 Collections.

Homestuck FanAuthor Coalition Fic and Recommendations is broken into two sub-collections: Our Stuff, which attempts to catalog ever member's works, and Our Recommendations, through which we suggest fic we've read to each-other, mostly written by those not in the Coalition.

Homestuck Fanauthor Coalition Writing Competitions is where we host our competition fics! We all vote together on a prompt, then write our works anonymously, submitting them to a hidden subcollection. Once the works are due, they are revealed, and everyone (not just the participants) gets to read the fics. We then vote on a series of "best in" genres, leave a compliment, and try to guess the identity of the author. At the end, the “best in” can get a digital medal! It's good fun.

Our Identities, with Ao3 & Tumblr links [below the cut for length]:

Since it's pretty darn hard for the layman to find at a glance, here is our member list. We'll try to keep this up-to-date. This section is under construction, members will likely want to edit their blurbs. Right now we are trying to re-order in the order of joining us!

@thegoodthebadthealternative @madam-melon-meow / Madam_Melon_Meow on Ao3: the founder of the Coalition, M^3 has been a Homestuck fan since 2014, but only started writing fic herself in 2023, alongside her fiance Celery! It is her firm belief that fanfic is the lifeblood of fandom, and she wanted to create a space where authors and editors could meet on equal footing, rather than gather in servers dedicated to one author's fanfic, or servers generally dedicated to Homestuck itself. She saw an empty niche and decided to fill it.

@thegoodthebadthealternative @arealpeople / sarcasticcelery on Ao3: an admin of the Coalition, Celery has been in fandom since late 2018, and was 75% through Homestuck proper when the epilogues came out, so he had an interesting introduction to the community. He is of the opinion that no work of media should be left deconstructed, and that all art should be shared- especially the ugly stuff. He hopes the coalition will facilitate this in the rich seedbed that is Homestuck.

@taglineguerrillawriter @orangestorapples / orangestorapples on Ao3: Orange is one of the bot wranglers for the Coalition discord, and they started writing fic WAAAAAAY back in 2015 on WATTPAD of all things! (I know, they're old 💀) They didn't join the homestuck fandom until 2019. Orange shares the same belief as M^3, about fanfic being an important facet of keeping fandom alive, and come hell or high water they're gonna contribute.

hey strilondeswap fans come get yall juice

i've never found myself schilling for someone else before, but the fantastic Sam Gabriel (@saberinblue) voiced my fic, come listen to it here:

Or, even better - come listen to it as part of the podcast feed for the all the Homestuck Fanauthor Coalition's podfics, bc that way you can listen to so many more wonderful fics written by the Coalition's talented authors and all voiced by Sam Gabriel (did I mention what a talented actress she is its insane)

And if you want to listen to more of her work or commission her to voice your story or someone else's, check out her website:

(the wonderful little cherry on top is that she also does all her own cover art, seriously it's amazing - check out her other stuff after you listen to her pod of Strilondeswap)

[madam-melon-meow]

Looking for Homestuck Ficlets? My homestuck fanauthor coalition has a few!

This past month, four members of the server wrote a fic to fulfill the prompt “Off screen scene”: write a scene that fits canon that has been alluded to or described, but has not been seen in detail. Here’s what we got:

Fuckin pain in the ass maps: how did Dave Strider acquire the maps for the Furthest Ring? 1,646 words

Shattered Glass: Vriska Serket felt the need to slap the booze out of Rose Lalonde’s hand. Why? 2,535 words

Something Happened: doomed!Rose Lalonde and the soon-to-be Davesprite share a moment in LOHAC a bit after the death of their two friends and split into the doomed timeline. 777 words

Buns Out of The Oven: John Egbert’s Dad is not an ectobaby. Therefore, he had to be born. 1,704 words

All of these fics are no longer anonymous, but our next round of the competition starts soon. We invite you, dear Homestuck, not only to read the stories from this round, but to participate in our competition’s next round! On Dec 31, 2023, the works for the prompt Extremely Rare Crossover will become visible. You can read the rules and write something yourself to submit, as long as I get a DM about your participation. But anyone can, once those works are visible, read and vote in the google form that will be embedded in the collection. You can choose best in genre, personal favorite, write a completely, and guess who wrote what. We encourage you to check it out!

[orangestorapples]

Friendly reminder, if you're into Homestuck Fanfics you should follow the Homestuck Fanauthor Coalition Blog! I really gotta remember to post there more often :\ whoopsies
