CURRENT aperturescienceBusinessmagnet [CAB] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board HOMESTUCK CHARACTER SUPPORT GROUP.
CAB: Here we go
CAB: The inaugural memo of the Calliope on the Update Gravestone fan chatroom
CAB: Which I just so happened to name after the chatroom in CotUG, because that was the first thing that I thought of
CAB: Which will definitely not come back and bite me later, because Homestuck characters do not literally exist
CAB: Also, given that Pesterchum is an IRC chat client in disguise, such minutiae as "memos" and "boards" become meaningless
CAB: I suppose I should say a few words before anyone starts writing here
CAB: I see that people have come here, and yes, it would be better if you kept silent for now
CAB: I dedicate this memo to
CAB: No one in particular
CAB: Because I haven't got any close friends who would care about my story
CAB: That is the reason why I created this memo
CAB: To get acquainted with my own fans and hopefully to make some new friends
CAB: Because let's face it
CAB: The premise of CotUG is quite depressing and probably reflects my personality
CAB: And there is nothing I can do about it outside of founding the memo
CAB: This is my final reasoning
CAB: And that concludes my final toast
CAB: You may now speak
CURRENT unstopableSmiley [CUS] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CUS: Well, I don't know of toasts or breads or depressings, but you said it well!
CUS: We should just speak.
CAB: Yes
CAB: We should
CAB: And also, I keep forgetting how to talk to non-native English speakers
CURRENT genericTranslator [CGT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CGT: i know right XD
CURRENT draconianNeptune [CDN] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CDN: what are we speaking about though? ?
CAB: I don't know
CAB: Something
CAB: When John and Jade founded the original Support Group memo that this is named after, it's not like they jumped into memo space from a contextless realm
CAB: We do share a common cause, after all
CAB: And that is Calliope on the Update Gravestone
CURRENT cryptologicalMystic [CCM] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CCM: I think I got a topic!
CCM: What was your favorite part of Update Gravestone and why?
CAB: Are you asking that to everyone
CCM: I suppose!
CAB: Including me
CCM: Including you.
CAB: Well, I wrote a lot during this past NaNoWriMo
CAB: So there's probably a lot of garbage
CAB: Garbage known as the whole read of Homestuck idea
CURRENT scatteredPhilosopher [CSP] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CSP: Already switching ideas?
CAB: I don't know
CAB: Calliope on the Update Gravestone IS two months old
CAB: And already I don't like certain stuff
CAB: Stuff like "why did I have to make up an elaborate AU where the Homestuck fandom is much smaller"
CAB: If anything, the fandom is one of the crucial parts of Homestuck
CAB: Other works of fiction like books and movies are created all at once, and then their fandoms are eternally separate from them
CAB: Homestuck, on the other hand, relies on its fandom to produce content
CAB: And since I removed that part, now I have to think about how the Homestuck text changes according to that too
CAB: Calliope and Caliborn being the biggest part
CAB: They basically are Homestuck's fandom and anti-fandom respectively
CAB: And then they basically clash together and annihilate each other
CAB: And there's this free energy that I have to assign to something
CAB: What could it be
CAB: I am out of ideas
CAB: Maybe I will switch gears entirely
CAB: Maybe I will bring you all a different fanfic to read
CAB: One that doesn't rely on me generating terrible ideas and then actually putting them down because the Office of Letters and Light said so
CAB: Before it decided to confusingly rename itself to "National Novel Writing Month"
CUS: Don't worry, Magnet!
CDN: yeah if anything it will all work out one day.
CURRENT gsunnyDragonlover6 [CGD] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CGD: keep writin an we will keep on readin
CGD: that is always the spirit
CURRENT savvyKiddo [CSK] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CSK: Whoop, that's everyone saying everything motivational…
CAB: There will be plenty of motivation in the future
CAB: In my experience, my fics only last for about a year
CAB: Let's see if that can be extended by the power of friendship
CGT: friendship team unite XD
CCM: Indeed!
CCM: Only through unity can we achieve greater goals.
CGD: hooray for friendship!
CDN: hooray indeed
CAB: Nice to see that everyone agrees
CAB: Anyway, that's my least favorite CotUG moment
CAB: The premise
CAB: The best one is probably Dave and Karkat's interaction
CAB: I know, I know, I officially established that Karkat and Caliborn are in a romance
CGT: XD
CGT: you just reminded me of one of the best moments
CAB: So now I know a little more about you
CAB: But Dave and Karkat's personalities just sort of stick with each other like puzzle pieces
CAB: Even when they're far from the confines of Homestuck and instead are in the confines of my own story
CUS: Same characters in different situations still are the same relationships…
CUS: It's not surprise!
CAB: It's no surprise indeed
CUS: Okay, noted!
CGT: anyway heres the best moment
CGT: when caliborn first sees a pesterlog and hyperreacts about it
CAB: Oh man
CAB: That is a good moment
CAB: Now I know why I have written this story
CUS: And why you will continue write it!
CGT: yeah go asbm XD
CSK: To more character developments!
CDN: to more good moments
CGD: to more not so good moments :P
CCM: May your creativity flow.
CSP: And most importantly, may we have a nice time while in this chat!
CAB: Couldn't have said it any better
CAB: I am sure I will have all of these things and more
CAB: As long as I have you to read, comment and subscribe
CAB: I mean follow me
CAB: This isn't YouTube
CAB: (to say nothing of my YouTube "career")
