This is not a particularly long stretch of time but to emphasize this shift Hussie decided to throw in several references to what is, I assume, the singular piece of new media he had consumed during that period: the sitcom Parks and Recreation.

At the beginning of Act 6 Hussie took the opportunity of the new universe to update the in-universe date from Apto November 11, 2011. Revisiting the story’s first page (which Hussie himself created in Homestuck), it’s actually not that funny. The Detective Pony fanfic extrapolates off that premise and provides a Dirk-ified version of the entire novella.Īt first I wasn’t particularly sold on the premise. Going in I knew almost nothing about it beyond the joke in Homestuck proper, in which Dirk sends Jane a vandalized copy of a Pony Pals book with substitutions made to the text for comic effect. I hadn’t, but decided I should, so I read it over the past week.
I recently received an ask from whether I had ever read Detective Ponyby sonnetstuck. Side note, what exactly is an “interactive fanfic”? How does that work? Is it like a roleplay or is it more like Homestuck: readers submit prompts that propel the story forward? Piscivorus-fish devourer-cottonmouth contains Sister’s glowing and sincere praise of the Chateau du Diodati OVA, which is possibly the only time across the story Sister talks about something they like rather than despise.
Other than the obvious chapter involving the Diodati roleplay, I’d recommend you reread Dignitas to get more of an idea about what they like to do when not ranting about media they dislike and harassing people online. Most of what you seek you’ll have to find in the published version of the story. Therefore, I unfortunately have little to give you. In Draft 1, she isn’t living with Gramme, doesn’t speak to Harper one-on-one, and isn’t involved in the attack on Mimmy’s moral character, which itself is an arc with substantially less prominence. She appears only twice: During the introduction to the Consortium in which she converses with Cariscresco and Mimmy Wowzers (who was a Consortiumite in the first draft) and later during the Chateau du Diodati roleplay (which is one of the few elements that is very similar between drafts). Unfortunately for your question, Somebody’s Little Sister has a significantly lessened presence in Draft 1. The entire structure of the story is different instead of Draft 2’s three-arc structure, Draft 1 only has two arcs. Many scenes, themes, and even characters exist in one draft but not the other. I had previously written Modern Cannibals in a similar fashion, but the changes between Draft 1 and 2 for CxC were far more substantial. In 2020 I wrote a first draft of Cockatiel x Chameleon that I aborted at around 60,000 words.
