Read MS Paint Adventures

MSPA is an epic sprawling online webcomics creation by Andrew Hussie (and supporting artists.)

• I have no official connection with the work.
• But I strongly recommend it! It is compelling, funny, genre-busting contemporary art.
• Homestuck is the longest and most well-known & loved of the MS Paint Adventures.

This website is about some ways to read MSPA.

www.mspaintadventures.com ⇒ www.homestuck.com

• Almost everyone who wants to read it, especially for the first time, should just use the official website (rehosted in 2018.)
• Problem Sleuth and Homestuck are each being turned into a series of official books.

My projects

• I have made an offline archive.
  • It is not publically downloadable, but I have unofficial permission to share it with e.g. people trying to recruit an offline friend as a reader.
• There is at least a (MATHS) % chance I've derived some stats about MSPA.
• I have collected around one hundred transcripts of significant non-text sections of MSPA - walkarounds and other flashes, images, etc.
• I have extended the search pages to include all the words I've transcribed.
• I made a fullscreen reader presentation (originally for a previous community re-read.)
  • Online demo
  • Download removed; I only asked for & received permission to distribute the reader for the re-read.
• Why? Here's a site/project history.

Other reading projects

• The MSPA wiki, of course.
• There are several efforts to provide translations of Homestuck into other languages.
• The Acts and Pages of Homestuck is a pretty presentation of summaries and synopses.
• Let's Read Homestuck! effectively turns the story into a sequence of videos.
• The MSPAssistant greasemonkey script uses crowdsourced tags to enhance regular online reading.
• This MSPAccess greasemonkey script adds some keyboard navigation to regular online reading.
