''I '''CONJURE''' THIS INTREPID FANTASYSCAPE WITH TEARS BLED FROM THE WISDOM-WEARY EYES OF FIFTY THOUSAND IMAGINARY MAGICIANS.

''[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6 Homestuck]'' is the fourth and latest series of ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'', a series of web comics done in the style of an old [[Interactive Fiction|text-based]] [[Adventure Game]], written by [[Andrew Hussie]] ([[Sure Why Not|and the fans]]).

''Homestuck'' began on [[Arc Number|April 13]]th, 2009, only one month after the end of the highly successful ''[[Problem Sleuth]]''.
