Ethnography? Oh dear...

Well dear readers (all three of you...), it seems as though I will soon be delving into the world of Homestuck.... a web-comic of dubious origins and murky content. Though fandom and being a fan of a literary work of some sort is not a new concept to me, I would be proud to count myself among the legion of Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, Lord of the Rings (LotR) and random anime fans, a fan of a web comic I am not. Considering the plethora of friends and acquaintances that have been sucked into Homestuck addiction, it seems an easy choice (the other option being My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (MLP) though I fear I have had too much exposure to that particular sub-culture to be completely unaffected). So this Spring Break I will commence with the reading of at least the first three acts in the Homestuck saga... If my brain still exists at the end of break I will report some of what I'll have found out!
