INTRODUCTION

The Homestuck community is diverse and broad in its scope, with an unbelievable amount of culture being nested in places that will almost surely never see the light of public attention. I’ve taken it upon myself to write a journal that documents as many elements of the fandom as possible, in an attempt to preserve our culture in case circumstances lead to its eventual destruction as time goes by.

To this end I’ve been conducting interviews for a few months now, trying to seek as much information as possible about various aspects of the Homestuck fandom. Alexis “Gankro” Beingessner is one such individual who deserves a fair amount of consideration due to his contributions to Homestuck. It is difficult to imagine many others who have contributed to the webcomic in quite the same capacity that Gankro has: while many artists and musicians have contributed their considerable works to the comic, Gankro was involved with a different aspect entirely, that of coding.

I highly recommend reading the actual interview, if you wanna read Gankro’s responses instead of the interviewer’s paraphrasing. Otherwise, you kinda miss out on his voice. https://pastebin.com/J9bZyBy3

I would strongly advise against trying to use Andrew Hussie as a job reference. Background check people get really upset when one of your references is impossible to contact because they’re basically a drifter.
