As some of you may be aware, the webcomic Homestuck posted it's last chapter today. Bittersweet times! While it was a great series with a great ending, it is disappointing to not have updates to look forward to. Anyway, that's not why I'm here, so I'll leave that commentary there.
So yeah, this thread? What is 'Charstuck'? Well, basically... I'm stuck, as has been mentioned before in a few places. My drive is low and I don't want it to be. So, I'm thinking of turning to the old love of Homestuck to help me out, and well... If you know anything about the series, you'd know that the early levels of the plot were decided by the readers. The creator, Andrew Hussie, would basically let people vote on the next course of action? He'd put up polls and things where his community could vote on things like the names of characters or the 'command' that they want the series direction to take?
Now, try as I might to make a thing that pleases myself, a lot of what gets me most psyched about things is peoples responses? I think I play to the crowd too much, so why not put that to my own advantage? When I'm struggling to stay focused on my projects, why not give myself a bit of a lift and drive by letting people show me their passion for what I do?
So, I'm considering taking a leaf from the book of the Homestuck and starting something where every now and then I offer a little poll for people to take their interest in? So, should this prove a success, I'm gonna be polling people for the potential ideas I have, and seeing which THE PEOPLE wanna see the most? I'm not sure how it's gonna turn out, but it should make for an interesting ride, right?
OK, so I'm gonna keep the clues as to what each option is kind of vague, to allow me some creative room, but for the first poll, let's decide on a protagonist, shall we?
