Homestuck is an Internet fiction multimedia series created by American author and artist Andrew Hussie. The fourth and best-known of Hussie's four MS Paint Adventures, it originally ran from April 13, 2009, to April 13, 2016. Though normally described as a webcomic, and partly constituted by a series of single panel pages, Homestuck also relies heavily on Flash animations and instant message logs to convey its story, along with the occasional use of browser games.
Its plot centers on a group of teens who trigger the inevitable destruction of Earth by installing the beta version of an upcoming PC game, Sburb. The teens soon come into contact with a group of Internet trolls who are revealed to be horned aliens, and these trolls work with the teens to create a new universe by completing the game. It has been noted for its complex and nonlinear narrative, considerable length at over 8,000 pages and 800,000 words, and intensely devoted fan community.
