| </p><p>It''s not March, but you know, it seemed like a good time to hang out with | |
| some leprechauns. </p> | |
| <p>Starting today and continuing for the next five weeks, we''ll be exploring | |
| a very green mansion, led by Mister Seven himself. This comic was laid out and | |
| sketched by the incredibly skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150314191613/http://deadwinter.cc/">Allison | |
| Shabet</a>, who will probably be talking a bit about the process at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150314191613/http://rallyyy.tumblr.com/">her | |
| blog</a> (or <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150314191613/http://www.patreon.com/deadwinter">her | |
| Patreon</a>?) sometime over the next few weeks. It was drawn, colored and lettered | |
| by the amazing <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150314191613/http://helvetica.jnwiedle.com/">Jones | |
| Wiedle</a>, whose lettering has been invaluable on past comics, and whose comic | |
| <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150314191613/http://helvetica.jnwiedle.com/">Helvetica</a> | |
| has just restarted! You can back <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150314191613/http://www.patreon.com/helvetica">Jones | |
| on Patreon</a>, too.</p> | |
| <p>Oh yeah, I guess <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150314191613/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/">some | |
| guy wrote it</a>, too. Real newcomer to the scene, let''s all give him a big hand | |
| in welcome, make sure he feels right at home.</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello, it''s me again. The fact that it''s me is how you know something | |
| weird is going on.</p> | |
| <p>Here''s a cool thing that will happen with this website sometimes. Every now | |
| and then, we will flip a switch, and that little button that says "2x UPDATE COMBO | |
| WEEK" will appear up there in the corner. This means for that week, Paradox Space | |
| will update with two pages per day. </p> | |
| <p>I know, right? That''s a lot of comics! When the idea for this site was first | |
| conceived, this is something I pictured as a standard for it. Frequently more | |
| than one (or even more than two??) pages per day. I would like to work toward | |
| this being a more common thing for the site. For now though, it will be kind of | |
| a special thing. It will take some time to make that idea sustainable. Posting | |
| ten pages in a week burns through a lot of comics! But as this comic-making process | |
| gets more streamlined, it is my hope that this will occur more often - perhaps | |
| it will even become normal.</p> | |
| <p>Part of "making it sustainable" has to do with cost. In case it was not obvious, | |
| I''m paying all the writers and artists a decent page-rate to make everything | |
| you see here. In fact, this is probably one of the most expensive webcomics to | |
| run for that reason. Usually, a webcomic involves one guy like me, who just makes | |
| a bunch of stuff "for free", puts it up, and whatever the site makes covers server | |
| costs, and some extra for the webcomic guy to live on. This is a much more distributed | |
| production though, involving many people. And that''s fine! At one page per day | |
| we can make that work without a sweat. It''s when you start racking up multiple | |
| pages per day, the costs start getting kooky. So my intention is to work on figuring | |
| that out, to make it sustainable. By optimizing ads, printing books, etc. Your | |
| support, as always, is critical and appreciated.</p> | |
| <p>What is implied here is that I am thinking in the long term with this site, | |
| and expecting it to grow and evolve. Part of that is frequency of the content. | |
| The other part is nature of the content. I spoke of what kind of comics to expect | |
| here in my initial spiel, but I think I can simplify it further.</p> | |
| <p>It seems to me there will be two types of content this site runs. The funny | |
| and gaggy kind, like the one my pal <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140603120806/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/"> | |
| KC Green</a> did a couple weeks ago, and the one running currently by the very | |
| funny <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140603120806/http://www.gastrophobia.com/"> | |
| David McGuire</a>. These are comics full of laffs, but quite obviously have no | |
| relation to canon events. Then there is the more "substantive" kind, which conceivably | |
| could have taken place in canon, and contribute a little more to your understanding | |
| of the characters and the story overall. The Flarp story last week by Benito and | |
| Kristin I think fits this description. Sure seems like that arc could have happened | |
| in canon, doesn''t it? If that is what you would like to believe, you will get | |
| no argument from me. Eridan getting owned is ALWAYS plausible, the end.</p> | |
| <p>My sense is that as this comic goes along, the latter type of content will | |
| be more exciting to the audience. Chuckles are always great, but "substantive" | |
| elaboration on the characters and universe are understandably seen as more rewarding. | |
| So I will try to nudge production in that direction. Again, it''ll take some time | |
| to make that a fully sustainable idea. I can''t just snap my fingers and expect | |
| other writers to have the comprehensive understanding of all this nonsense that | |
| I have. It''ll take a while to get there. But I am patient. I am also confident | |
| that the creative people behind this operation will keep putting out good comics, | |
| and that this site will continue evolving into something you will find more rewarding | |
| to visit with each passing month.</p> | |
| <p>Now let''s all kick back, relax, and google some horse memes.</p> | |
| <p>Edit: Whoaaa. Those are all HORRIBLE. Let''s forget I suggested that idea!</p> | |

| - author: Matt Hink | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well-- I suppose this would be a good time to introduce myself! My name | |
| is Matt Hink- as the fourth member of the Paradox Space team, I am the resident | |
| web developer and in fact, all-round technical guy for the site. A significant | |
| portion of my job is taking the (often somewhat unhinged) ideas that the rest | |
| of the team has and turn them into a functioning website. As some of you may | |
| have noticed, this is generally easier said than done. Websites can often be distinctly | |
| recalcitrant.</p> | |
| <p>The remainder of my job is attempting not to cry as Tauhid, Kory, and Rachel | |
| find ways to misuse the site. I am not particularly good at this. My beard is | |
| stained with tears.</p> | |
| <p>Anyways, circumstances like last night''s outage are likely the only time you''ll | |
| hear from me, as the rest of the team is much better than I am at saying words | |
| to people. But you can rest assured that I am constantly behind the scenes keeping | |
| a wary and at times paranoid eye over the Paradox Space server(s).</p> | |
| <p>And now, a few fun facts.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? During launch, our rate of requests peaked at around 3500 requests | |
| per minute, meaning that <strong>every second</strong>, about 58 users were accessing | |
| the site. Happily, the wave of the Homestuck fandom didn''t even come close to | |
| knocking us over. Since then, we''re down to about 200-300 requests per minute | |
| over the course of the day.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The 404 (File Not Found) and 500 (Internal Server Error) images | |
| were drawn by KC Green and Shad Andrews, respectively.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The final pre-launch touches to Paradox Space were made 4 minutes | |
| and 13 seconds before 4:13 on 04/13?</p> | |
| <p>Well, now you do.</p> | |
| <p>Couple notes of recognition: thanks to everyone who''s emailed in bug reports | |
| to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/mailto:issues@paradoxspace.com">issues@paradoxspace.com</a>- | |
| I do read them and generally take them into account. I''d also like to thank | |
| everyone who''s sent in encouraging emails to the team- I have this massive amount | |
| of respect for Rachel, Kory, and Tauhid, who constantly bust their rumps to make | |
| great stuff for you guys.</p> | |
| <p>P.S. To whoever it was on Tumblr that discovered the Swedish translation of | |
| my last name, thanks a WHOLE lot. My co-workers found out about it and now they | |
| won''t stop calling me "bucket". :(</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello again my friends. Welcome to the weekend! Have you caught up on <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a> | |
| yet? </p> | |
| <p>It seems I have a few small issues to address! It is raining here and therefore | |
| the title to this post is appropriate and funny (you are not required to laugh). | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed severe negative reactions to Karkat''s having a | |
| pink tongue in this comic. For reference, I''ve come up with a series of exploratory | |
| questions one can ask oneself to figure out whether an issue in a comic is one | |
| that''s worth fretting over.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this something that is important to canon?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Karkat''s blood color would be an important thing, and would be a big mistake | |
| if we got it wrong! Karkat''s tongue color, on the other hand, has not been mentioned | |
| in canon. We can assume that unless tongue color turns out to be an extremely | |
| important part of beating Lord English, it is probably not important at all. </p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this important to the story being told?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Sometimes things that aren''t important to canon can be important to the small | |
| stories that we tell. But since Karkat''s tongue hasn''t been important (yet?!) | |
| in this story, it''s probably not important at all.</p> | |
| <p>I don''t want to make light of small quibbles! (Okay, I do, but not too much.) | |
| I understand that canon adherence is really important to some people. But that''s | |
| not what we''re really about here. If you''re looking for information, the <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck">Homestuck | |
| wiki</a> is remarkably well-kept by its very dedicated caretakers. (In fact, so | |
| well-kept that we often use it to check our stories and refresh our memories.) | |
| But Paradox Space is going to generally be much more about telling stories than | |
| it is about canonicity. </p> | |
| <p>I''m also aware that there''s been some dismay that no stories yet have reached | |
| the full depth of emotion that Homestuck itself has. To this I''m sort of forced | |
| to say, Well, duh. So far we''ve been telling short, lighthearted stories. Homestuck | |
| has literally thousands of pages to move smoothly (or sometimes not that smoothly) | |
| between emotional gears; our longest story so far is this seven-page one that''s | |
| running! We do have some more serious stories in the works, and we do want to | |
| reach more emotional range, but the only way we can even try for that is because | |
| we''re working with established characters in an established universe. What it | |
| boils down to, I guess, is please have patience and trust us!</p> | |
| <p>Another thing I''ve heard pretty repetitively has been <strong>Oooh! I know | |
| where this story is going!</strong> And again I find myself forced to say--Well, | |
| duh. Predicting where a story is going when it''s told at this pace isn''t truly | |
| that hard. I hope that what you enjoy is the telling of it, rather than just the | |
| prediction of where it''s going. As always, serial readers find themselves in | |
| a very different position than archival readers. </p> | |
| <p>Two more things to address: One, we''re still getting lots of people writing | |
| in and asking how they can work with us. <strong>Right now, you can''t. If we''re | |
| interested in working together, we will come to you.</strong> I know that it''s | |
| taught, especially in art schools, that there''s no harm in being confident and | |
| putting yourself out there--but for us, right now, it''s truly more annoying than | |
| it is helpful. If we''re looking for artists, we''ll let you know, I promise! | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Two, dear, sweet, precious, sweet, sweet, readers. If you''re asking <strong>Why | |
| aren''t we talking about this?!</strong> or <strong>Has anyone else seen this?!</strong> | |
| I can assure you on both counts that people have seen it and are talking about | |
| it. In every single instance I have seen of those questions, it is so. Perhaps, | |
| dear readers, you need to look around a little better. </p> | |
| <p>If you have any other small questions, in addition to our email, you can shoot | |
| them to me on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://rachelpxs.tumblr.com/">my | |
| tumblr made specifically for that purpose</a> if it delights you to do so. </p> | |
| <p>Oh--and for goodness'' sake, stop asking about <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://paradoxspace.com/headed-for-stardom/2">that | |

| <p>Some people have expressed severe negative reactions to Karkat''s having a | |
| pink tongue in this comic. For reference, I''ve come up with a series of exploratory | |
| questions one can ask oneself to figure out whether an issue in a comic is one | |
| that''s worth fretting over.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this something that is important to canon?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Karkat''s blood color would be an important thing, and would be a big mistake | |
| if we got it wrong! Karkat''s tongue color, on the other hand, has not been mentioned | |
| in canon. We can assume that unless tongue color turns out to be an extremely | |
| important part of beating Lord English, it is probably not important at all. </p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this important to the story being told?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Sometimes things that aren''t important to canon can be important to the small | |
| stories that we tell. But since Karkat''s tongue hasn''t been important (yet?!) | |
| in this story, it''s probably not important at all.</p> | |
| <p>I don''t want to make light of small quibbles! (Okay, I do, but not too much.) | |
| I understand that canon adherence is really important to some people. But that''s | |
| not what we''re really about here. If you''re looking for information, the <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140428200852/http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck">Homestuck | |
| wiki</a> is remarkably well-kept by its very dedicated caretakers. (In fact, so | |
| well-kept that we often use it to check our stories and refresh our memories.) | |
| But Paradox Space is going to generally be much more about telling stories than | |
| it is about canonicity. </p> | |
| <p>I''m also aware that there''s been some dismay that no stories yet have reached | |
| the full depth of emotion that Homestuck itself has. To this I''m sort of forced | |
| to say, Well, duh. So far we''ve been telling short, lighthearted stories. Homestuck | |
| has literally thousands of pages to move smoothly (or sometimes not that smoothly) | |
| between emotional gears; our longest story so far is this seven-page one that''s | |
| running! We do have some more serious stories in the works, and we do want to | |
| reach more emotional range, but the only way we can even try for that is because | |
| we''re working with established characters in an established universe. What it | |
| boils down to, I guess, is please have patience and trust us!</p> | |
| <p>Another thing I''ve heard pretty repetitively has been <strong>Oooh! I know | |
| where this story is going!</strong> And again I find myself forced to say--Well, | |
| duh. Predicting where a story is going when it''s told at this pace isn''t truly | |
| that hard. I hope that what you enjoy is the telling of it, rather than just the | |
| prediction of where it''s going. As always, serial readers find themselves in | |
| a very different position than archival readers. </p> | |
| <p>Two more things to address: One, we''re still getting lots of people writing | |
| in and asking how they can work with us. <strong>Right now, you can''t. If we''re | |
| interested in working together, we will come to you.</strong> I know that it''s | |
| taught, especially in art schools, that there''s no harm in being confident and | |
| putting yourself out there--but for us, right now, it''s truly more annoying than | |
| it is helpful. If we''re looking for artists, we''ll let you know, I promise! | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Two, dear, sweet, precious, sweet, sweet, readers. If you''re asking <strong>Why | |
| aren''t we talking about this?!</strong> or <strong>Has anyone else seen this?!</strong> | |
| I can assure you on both counts that people have seen it and are talking about | |
| it. In every single instance I have seen of those questions, it is so. Perhaps, | |
| dear readers, you need to look around a little better. </p> | |
| <p>If you have any other small questions, in addition to our email, you can shoot | |
| them to me on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140428200852/http://rachelpxs.tumblr.com/">my | |
| tumblr made specifically for that purpose</a> if it delights you to do so. </p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well hello. It is me, Rachel, your new owl friend. Very nice to meet you.</p> | |
| <p>This week we will be enjoying <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://paradoxspace.com/prototyped/1">"Prototyped,"</a> | |
| from the illustrious Zack Morrison, who--again--creates the fantastic comic <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a>. | |
| When I say we will be enjoying it, I mean we <em>will</em> be enjoying it. If | |
| you do not experience enjoyment please report to your local Paradox Space Re-Education | |
| Center, because there has been a malfunction. </p> | |
| <p>I guess now it is incumbent upon me to answer some questions also! </p> | |
| <p><strong>I have a great idea and/or script and/or drawing! Can I submit it?</strong></p> | |
| <p>I''m sorry, but at present we are not open to submissions, and we have no current | |
| plans to open submissions. You can check out our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://paradoxspace.com/contact_us">contact</a> | |
| page if you are ever curious if we are opening submissions.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Who is drawing the current comic?</strong></p> | |
| <p>You can find this information in several places--on the title page or panel | |
| of the story, on our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://paradoxspace.com/stories">stories | |
| page</a>, or on the footer of any image in the story (a recommendation from a | |
| reader!). If you''re going to repost any image from Paradox Space, <strong>please | |
| keep the footer intact.</strong> It''s respectful to the artists and allows people | |
| who see the image but may not be familiar with PXS to find us! </p> | |
| <p><strong>Why is this more John bullshit? John is personally victimizing me.</strong></p> | |
| <p>Oddly, John is an important character in the comic. We, as much as you, relish | |
| the chance that Paradox Space gives us to tell stories from characters who don''t | |
| get as much screen time. Have patience!</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, you are required to enjoy this comic, as it is great. Paranatural is | |
| a comic you should definitely read between Paradox Space updates (we have helpfully | |
| allowed you to keep your weekends free for this activity). Relatedly, "Attack | |
| the Block" is a good movie. </p> | |

| <p>I wanted to thank everyone who wrote to me in response to my last post where | |

| post I made about process work</a> since I think it might be interesting to some | |
| readers. </p> | |
| <p>This comic was penciled and inked by EK Weaver, who is a new contributor to | |
| Paradox Space! Her incredible comic <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140802131502/http://www.tjandamal.com/">The | |
| Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal</a> ended recently, so I advise you to | |
| go buy all three volumes and read them back-to-back, greedily, like an animal. | |
| She is a lovely person and an absolute dream to work with, as are Zack and Adrienne! | |
| So basically this comic was made by a bunch of fantastic people, like our other | |
| comics. How did we get so lucky?? </p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150311080517/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |

| </p><p>Hello everyone! I hope you''re enjoying this tea party. Crumpets are over | |
| there, and cucumber sandwiches are there. Sugar cubes are in this cute little | |
| pot right here. </p> | |
| <p>A belated Canada day to all our Canadian readers, and a pre-emptive happy Fourth | |
| of July to our US-ian readers! I am kind of not so hot on the 4th as a holiday, | |
| but it''s as good a reason as any to wish people well. </p> | |
| <p>As many readers have noticed, we''ve been having some troubles with our tags. | |
| This is due to something Technical that I don''t understand completely enough | |
| to give you a good explanation for; but rest assured, we''re working on it, and | |
| will soon have the tags fixed up. We''re also working on some improvements to | |
| the tag system that we hope to have up in the next week or two. </p> | |
| <p>I''d also like to ask that if you find any problems while you''re browsing | |
| the site, you please send an email in to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/mailto:issues@paradoxspace.com">issues@paradoxspace.com</a>, | |
| as that is the ideal method to let us know there''s something technical going | |
| on! Sending an email to another address or writing in through Tumblr or Twitter | |
| is still helpful, but is likely to mean a longer delay in seeing your message | |
| and addressing the problem.</p> | |
| <p>I''d also like to thank everyone who wrote in response to my last newspost | |
| where I asked for inkers to step forward! I received a lot of really nice emails | |
| with links to some really gorgeous portfolios. We''ve put a whole bunch of new | |
| names into our useful little artists spreadsheet, and will no doubt be calling | |
| on many of you in the future! </p> | |
| <p>Because we had such success asking for inkers, we''re also taking a tentative | |
| next step: we are looking for writers. However, I want to stress that we are looking | |
| for <strong>experienced</strong> writers. If this is you, please, as before, <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/mailto:rachel@whatpumpkin.com">email | |
| me</a>. Guidelines for these emails: use your <strong>real name</strong>, send | |
| a <strong>link to your portfolio</strong> (not attached files), be <strong>clear | |
| about your experience level</strong>, and if you''re feeling especially helpful, | |
| <strong>give us an idea of your per-page rate</strong>.</p> | |
| <p>Thanks everyone, hope you''re staying cool! If you''re feeling a bit toasty, | |
| the iced tea''s right here.</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello, it''s me again. The fact that it''s me is how you know something | |
| weird is going on.</p> | |
| <p>Here''s a cool thing that will happen with this website sometimes. Every now | |
| and then, we will flip a switch, and that little button that says "2x UPDATE COMBO | |
| WEEK" will appear up there in the corner. This means for that week, Paradox Space | |
| will update with two pages per day. </p> | |
| <p>I know, right? That''s a lot of comics! When the idea for this site was first | |
| conceived, this is something I pictured as a standard for it. Frequently more | |
| than one (or even more than two??) pages per day. I would like to work toward | |
| this being a more common thing for the site. For now though, it will be kind of | |
| a special thing. It will take some time to make that idea sustainable. Posting | |
| ten pages in a week burns through a lot of comics! But as this comic-making process | |
| gets more streamlined, it is my hope that this will occur more often - perhaps | |
| it will even become normal.</p> | |
| <p>Part of "making it sustainable" has to do with cost. In case it was not obvious, | |
| I''m paying all the writers and artists a decent page-rate to make everything | |
| you see here. In fact, this is probably one of the most expensive webcomics to | |
| run for that reason. Usually, a webcomic involves one guy like me, who just makes | |
| a bunch of stuff "for free", puts it up, and whatever the site makes covers server | |
| costs, and some extra for the webcomic guy to live on. This is a much more distributed | |
| production though, involving many people. And that''s fine! At one page per day | |
| we can make that work without a sweat. It''s when you start racking up multiple | |
| pages per day, the costs start getting kooky. So my intention is to work on figuring | |
| that out, to make it sustainable. By optimizing ads, printing books, etc. Your | |
| support, as always, is critical and appreciated.</p> | |
| <p>What is implied here is that I am thinking in the long term with this site, | |
| and expecting it to grow and evolve. Part of that is frequency of the content. | |
| The other part is nature of the content. I spoke of what kind of comics to expect | |
| here in my initial spiel, but I think I can simplify it further.</p> | |
| <p>It seems to me there will be two types of content this site runs. The funny | |
| and gaggy kind, like the one my pal <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140528144410/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/"> | |
| KC Green</a> did a couple weeks ago, and the one running currently by the very | |
| funny <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140528144410/http://www.gastrophobia.com/"> | |
| David McGuire</a>. These are comics full of laffs, but quite obviously have no | |
| relation to canon events. Then there is the more "substantive" kind, which conceivably | |
| could have taken place in canon, and contribute a little more to your understanding | |
| of the characters and the story overall. The Flarp story last week by Benito and | |
| Kristin I think fits this description. Sure seems like that arc could have happened | |
| in canon, doesn''t it? If that is what you would like to believe, you will get | |
| no argument from me. Eridan getting owned is ALWAYS plausible, the end.</p> | |
| <p>My sense is that as this comic goes along, the latter type of content will | |
| be more exciting to the audience. Chuckles are always great, but "substantive" | |
| elaboration on the characters and universe are understandably seen as more rewarding. | |
| So I will try to nudge production in that direction. Again, it''ll take some time | |
| to make that a fully sustainable idea. I can''t just snap my fingers and expect | |
| other writers to have the comprehensive understanding of all this nonsense that | |
| I have. It''ll take a while to get there. But I am patient. I am also confident | |
| that the creative people behind this operation will keep putting out good comics, | |

| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |

| title: Writers, tags, etc | |
| - author: Andrew Hussie | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>A brand new webcomic, to be exact. One that has launched on the 5th anniversary | |
| of Homestuck''s first page. If the thirteenth of April holds a magical place in | |
| your heart, then chances are, you are on pins and needles waiting for me to post | |
| the end of the story. It will still be quite some time before that happens. I''ve | |
| had too much else going on to be able to attack the remaining content with the | |
| ferocity that has been characteristic of my update schedule over the years. It | |
| is nothing short of The Greatest Tragedy that a beloved story is held hostage | |
| to the ability of a single artist to continue creating it. Which brings us to | |
| the website called Paradox Space, and the chapter it will represent in Homestuck''s | |
| extended life cycle.</p> | |
| <p>As I work on finishing the story, I tend to think a lot about where Homestuck | |
| as a creative property goes from here. It''s hard to ignore the fact that it has | |
| turned into something much bigger than just a long, crazy story on the internet. | |
| It has a lot of fans, and there''s a whole culture surrounding it. Friendships | |
| have been made, lives have been changed, or so people tell me. Those who like | |
| HS are extremely fond of the characters, yet those characters are trapped - "stuck" | |
| if you will - inside a very particular narrative, which itself has been at the | |
| mercy of my ability to produce it. So when I think about the future of Homestuck, | |
| I envision projects which liberate the things people love about it from the story | |
| itself, and most importantly, from my intensive personal effort.</p> | |
| <p>So this website is the first major step in that direction. Here is the idea:</p> | |
| <p>Paradox Space will feature many short comic stories involving literally any | |
| characters and settings from Homestuck. Any point in canon could be visited and | |
| elaborated on, whether it''s backstory, some scenes that were skipped over or | |
| alluded to, funny hypothetical scenarios which have nothing to do with canon events, | |
| or exploring things that could have happened in canon through the "doomed timeline" | |
| mechanic that is a defining trait of Homestuck''s multiverse-continuum known as | |
| "paradox space". There is a WHOLE LOT of fun stuff we can do here; and we will!</p> | |
| <p>The idea is also to get a lot of different artists and writers involved. It''s | |
| going to be a major team effort. Occasionally I will write some comic scripts, | |
| particularly at the onset to help get this off the ground. But I''d like that | |
| to be the exception rather than the rule. I think it will be exciting to see how | |
| a talented pool of creators can work within the HS universe, and what they will | |
| bring to these characters. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see who''s | |
| contributing so far. I guarantee that list of names will expand considerably in | |
| the months ahead.</p> | |
| <p>And a quick shout-out to those I regard as the core contributors of Paradox | |
| Space. Rachel and Kory, who are the managing editors of the content. Tauhid, who | |
| designed this sick website. And Matt, who coded this sick website. These people | |
| worked very hard to get this site up and running. They did a great job.</p> | |
| <p>Paradox Space updates with a new page every weekday, starting this week. Next | |
| update is Tuesday, with the first page of another short story. What''s it gonna | |
| be?? Believe me when I say these arcs can involve anything and anyone.</p> | |
| <p>The first story was drawn by Zack Morrison, who is a super solid comic maker. | |
| You should take a look at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140415151121/http://www.paranatural.net/" | |
| target="_blank">his webcomic</a> when you get the chance. It''s really good! I''m | |
| not even "just sayin" that either. Why do ya think we asked him to make the first | |
| comic?? Dude''s great. ;-]</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello again my friends. Welcome to the weekend! Have you caught up on <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a> | |
| yet? </p> | |
| <p>It seems I have a few small issues to address! It is raining here and therefore | |
| the title to this post is appropriate and funny (you are not required to laugh). | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed severe negative reactions to Karkat''s having a | |
| pink tongue in this comic. For reference, I''ve come up with a series of exploratory | |
| questions one can ask oneself to figure out whether an issue in a comic is one | |
| that''s worth fretting over.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this something that is important to canon?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Karkat''s blood color would be an important thing, and would be a big mistake | |
| if we got it wrong! Karkat''s tongue color, on the other hand, has not been mentioned | |
| in canon. We can assume that unless tongue color turns out to be an extremely | |
| important part of beating Lord English, it is probably not important at all. </p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this important to the story being told?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Sometimes things that aren''t important to canon can be important to the small | |
| stories that we tell. But since Karkat''s tongue hasn''t been important (yet?!) | |
| in this story, it''s probably not important at all.</p> | |
| <p>I don''t want to make light of small quibbles! (Okay, I do, but not too much.) | |
| I understand that canon adherence is really important to some people. But that''s | |
| not what we''re really about here. If you''re looking for information, the <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck">Homestuck | |
| wiki</a> is remarkably well-kept by its very dedicated caretakers. (In fact, so | |
| well-kept that we often use it to check our stories and refresh our memories.) | |
| But Paradox Space is going to generally be much more about telling stories than | |
| it is about canonicity. </p> | |
| <p>I''m also aware that there''s been some dismay that no stories yet have reached | |
| the full depth of emotion that Homestuck itself has. To this I''m sort of forced | |
| to say, Well, duh. So far we''ve been telling short, lighthearted stories. Homestuck | |
| has literally thousands of pages to move smoothly (or sometimes not that smoothly) | |
| between emotional gears; our longest story so far is this seven-page one that''s | |
| running! We do have some more serious stories in the works, and we do want to | |
| reach more emotional range, but the only way we can even try for that is because | |
| we''re working with established characters in an established universe. What it | |
| boils down to, I guess, is please have patience and trust us!</p> | |
| <p>Another thing I''ve heard pretty repetitively has been <strong>Oooh! I know | |
| where this story is going!</strong> And again I find myself forced to say--Well, | |
| duh. Predicting where a story is going when it''s told at this pace isn''t truly | |
| that hard. I hope that what you enjoy is the telling of it, rather than just the | |
| prediction of where it''s going. As always, serial readers find themselves in | |
| a very different position than archival readers. </p> | |
| <p>Two more things to address: One, we''re still getting lots of people writing | |
| in and asking how they can work with us. <strong>Right now, you can''t. If we''re | |
| interested in working together, we will come to you.</strong> I know that it''s | |
| taught, especially in art schools, that there''s no harm in being confident and | |
| putting yourself out there--but for us, right now, it''s truly more annoying than | |
| it is helpful. If we''re looking for artists, we''ll let you know, I promise! | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Two, dear, sweet, precious, sweet, sweet, readers. If you''re asking <strong>Why | |
| aren''t we talking about this?!</strong> or <strong>Has anyone else seen this?!</strong> | |
| I can assure you on both counts that people have seen it and are talking about | |
| it. In every single instance I have seen of those questions, it is so. Perhaps, | |
| dear readers, you need to look around a little better. </p> | |
| <p>If you have any other small questions, in addition to our email, you can shoot | |
| them to me on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://rachelpxs.tumblr.com/">my | |
| tumblr made specifically for that purpose</a> if it delights you to do so. </p> | |
| <p>Oh--and for goodness'' sake, stop asking about <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://paradoxspace.com/headed-for-stardom/2">that | |
| rabbit.</a></p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150305061448/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |

| </p><p>Hello hello!</p> | |
| <p>Sorry for the radio silence of late; the PXS team is a pretty small one and | |
| we''ve all been extra busy lately! We appreciate your patience. :)</p> | |
| <p>Tag system improvements are still in the works, currently taking a back seat | |
| to longer-term and larger-scale technical stuff that should improve both the performance | |
| of both PXS and MSPA itself. Sorry about that; I know the tags are often a bit | |
| off! </p> | |
| <p>We''ve had reports of a malicious, hijacking ad. <strong>THIS IS NOT OKAY BY | |
| US.</strong> Sometimes bad ads can get through the ad service we use, much to | |
| our chagrin. If this happens to you, please email issues@paradoxspace.com with | |
| as much information as you can get! This includes the ad itself, where the ad | |
| sent you, what browser you''re using, anything. Thank you! We want this to happen | |
| as little as possible, and that means getting info to the ad service as fast as | |
| we can to get the offending ad axed.</p> | |
| <p>We''ve had some stories from new contributors lately! Big PXS welcomes to <a | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello, it''s me again. The fact that it''s me is how you know something | |
| weird is going on.</p> | |
| <p>Here''s a cool thing that will happen with this website sometimes. Every now | |
| and then, we will flip a switch, and that little button that says "2x UPDATE COMBO | |
| WEEK" will appear up there in the corner. This means for that week, Paradox Space | |
| will update with two pages per day. </p> | |
| <p>I know, right? That''s a lot of comics! When the idea for this site was first | |
| conceived, this is something I pictured as a standard for it. Frequently more | |
| than one (or even more than two??) pages per day. I would like to work toward | |
| this being a more common thing for the site. For now though, it will be kind of | |
| a special thing. It will take some time to make that idea sustainable. Posting | |
| ten pages in a week burns through a lot of comics! But as this comic-making process | |
| gets more streamlined, it is my hope that this will occur more often - perhaps | |
| it will even become normal.</p> | |
| <p>Part of "making it sustainable" has to do with cost. In case it was not obvious, | |
| I''m paying all the writers and artists a decent page-rate to make everything | |
| you see here. In fact, this is probably one of the most expensive webcomics to | |
| run for that reason. Usually, a webcomic involves one guy like me, who just makes | |
| a bunch of stuff "for free", puts it up, and whatever the site makes covers server | |
| costs, and some extra for the webcomic guy to live on. This is a much more distributed | |
| production though, involving many people. And that''s fine! At one page per day | |
| we can make that work without a sweat. It''s when you start racking up multiple | |
| pages per day, the costs start getting kooky. So my intention is to work on figuring | |
| that out, to make it sustainable. By optimizing ads, printing books, etc. Your | |
| support, as always, is critical and appreciated.</p> | |
| <p>What is implied here is that I am thinking in the long term with this site, | |
| and expecting it to grow and evolve. Part of that is frequency of the content. | |
| The other part is nature of the content. I spoke of what kind of comics to expect | |
| here in my initial spiel, but I think I can simplify it further.</p> | |
| <p>It seems to me there will be two types of content this site runs. The funny | |
| and gaggy kind, like the one my pal <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/"> | |
| KC Green</a> did a couple weeks ago, and the one running currently by the very | |
| funny <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://www.gastrophobia.com/"> | |
| David McGuire</a>. These are comics full of laffs, but quite obviously have no | |
| relation to canon events. Then there is the more "substantive" kind, which conceivably | |
| could have taken place in canon, and contribute a little more to your understanding | |
| of the characters and the story overall. The Flarp story last week by Benito and | |
| Kristin I think fits this description. Sure seems like that arc could have happened | |
| in canon, doesn''t it? If that is what you would like to believe, you will get | |
| no argument from me. Eridan getting owned is ALWAYS plausible, the end.</p> | |
| <p>My sense is that as this comic goes along, the latter type of content will | |
| be more exciting to the audience. Chuckles are always great, but "substantive" | |
| elaboration on the characters and universe are understandably seen as more rewarding. | |
| So I will try to nudge production in that direction. Again, it''ll take some time | |
| to make that a fully sustainable idea. I can''t just snap my fingers and expect | |
| other writers to have the comprehensive understanding of all this nonsense that | |
| I have. It''ll take a while to get there. But I am patient. I am also confident | |
| that the creative people behind this operation will keep putting out good comics, | |
| and that this site will continue evolving into something you will find more rewarding | |
| to visit with each passing month.</p> | |
| <p>Now let''s all kick back, relax, and google some horse memes.</p> | |
| <p>Edit: Whoaaa. Those are all HORRIBLE. Let''s forget I suggested that idea!</p> | |

| title: 2x UPDATE COMBO | |
| - author: Andrew Hussie | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>A brand new webcomic, to be exact. One that has launched on the 5th anniversary | |
| of Homestuck''s first page. If the thirteenth of April holds a magical place in | |
| your heart, then chances are, you are on pins and needles waiting for me to post | |
| the end of the story. It will still be quite some time before that happens. I''ve | |
| had too much else going on to be able to attack the remaining content with the | |
| ferocity that has been characteristic of my update schedule over the years. It | |
| is nothing short of The Greatest Tragedy that a beloved story is held hostage | |
| to the ability of a single artist to continue creating it. Which brings us to | |
| the website called Paradox Space, and the chapter it will represent in Homestuck''s | |
| extended life cycle.</p> | |
| <p>As I work on finishing the story, I tend to think a lot about where Homestuck | |
| as a creative property goes from here. It''s hard to ignore the fact that it has | |
| turned into something much bigger than just a long, crazy story on the internet. | |
| It has a lot of fans, and there''s a whole culture surrounding it. Friendships | |
| have been made, lives have been changed, or so people tell me. Those who like | |
| HS are extremely fond of the characters, yet those characters are trapped - "stuck" | |
| if you will - inside a very particular narrative, which itself has been at the | |
| mercy of my ability to produce it. So when I think about the future of Homestuck, | |
| I envision projects which liberate the things people love about it from the story | |
| itself, and most importantly, from my intensive personal effort.</p> | |
| <p>So this website is the first major step in that direction. Here is the idea:</p> | |
| <p>Paradox Space will feature many short comic stories involving literally any | |
| characters and settings from Homestuck. Any point in canon could be visited and | |
| elaborated on, whether it''s backstory, some scenes that were skipped over or | |
| alluded to, funny hypothetical scenarios which have nothing to do with canon events, | |
| or exploring things that could have happened in canon through the "doomed timeline" | |
| mechanic that is a defining trait of Homestuck''s multiverse-continuum known as | |
| "paradox space". There is a WHOLE LOT of fun stuff we can do here; and we will!</p> | |
| <p>The idea is also to get a lot of different artists and writers involved. It''s | |
| going to be a major team effort. Occasionally I will write some comic scripts, | |
| particularly at the onset to help get this off the ground. But I''d like that | |
| to be the exception rather than the rule. I think it will be exciting to see how | |
| a talented pool of creators can work within the HS universe, and what they will | |
| bring to these characters. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see who''s | |
| contributing so far. I guarantee that list of names will expand considerably in | |
| the months ahead.</p> | |
| <p>And a quick shout-out to those I regard as the core contributors of Paradox | |
| Space. Rachel and Kory, who are the managing editors of the content. Tauhid, who | |
| designed this sick website. And Matt, who coded this sick website. These people | |
| worked very hard to get this site up and running. They did a great job.</p> | |
| <p>Paradox Space updates with a new page every weekday, starting this week. Next | |
| update is Tuesday, with the first page of another short story. What''s it gonna | |
| be?? Believe me when I say these arcs can involve anything and anyone.</p> | |
| <p>The first story was drawn by Zack Morrison, who is a super solid comic maker. | |
| You should take a look at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140413205013/http://www.paranatural.net/" | |
| target="_blank">his webcomic</a> when you get the chance. It''s really good! I''m | |
| not even "just sayin" that either. Why do ya think we asked him to make the first | |
| comic?? Dude''s great. ;-]</p> | |

| </p><p>Hello hello!</p> | |
| <p>Sorry for the radio silence of late; the PXS team is a pretty small one and | |
| we''ve all been extra busy lately! We appreciate your patience. :)</p> | |
| <p>Tag system improvements are still in the works, currently taking a back seat | |
| to longer-term and larger-scale technical stuff that should improve both the performance | |
| of both PXS and MSPA itself. Sorry about that; I know the tags are often a bit | |
| off! </p> | |
| <p>We''ve had reports of a malicious, hijacking ad. <strong>THIS IS NOT OKAY BY | |
| US.</strong> Sometimes bad ads can get through the ad service we use, much to | |
| our chagrin. If this happens to you, please email issues@paradoxspace.com with | |
| as much information as you can get! This includes the ad itself, where the ad | |
| sent you, what browser you''re using, anything. Thank you! We want this to happen | |
| as little as possible, and that means getting info to the ad service as fast as | |
| we can to get the offending ad axed.</p> | |
| <p>We''ve had some stories from new contributors lately! Big PXS welcomes to <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140918204717/http://www.maryborsellino.com/mary/">Mary | |
| Borsellino</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140918204717/http://www.monster-pulse.com/">Magnolia | |
| Porter</a>! Thanks for being a part of this little experiment!</p> | |
| <p>We are still going through some of the portfolios that we''ve been linked, | |
| both for writers and inkers. We may soon be looking for colorists; keep an eye | |
| on this space, and get your portfolios ready! </p> | |
| <p>Thanks everyone; have a great weekend!</p> | |

| </p><p>Hello again. It is me once more. Your owl friend.</p> | |
| <p>It seems that people are starting to take notice of the alt text that is popping | |
| up on some of the comic pages! For those who aren''t familiar, "alt text" comes | |
| from "alternative text." Its original purpose was to describe the image as a sort | |
| of fail-safe, whether that was for blind or visually impaired users, or because | |
| someone had images disabled in their browser, or in case the internet connection | |
| was really bad and couldn''t deal with images. Or whatever.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, alt text has been lovingly misused by webcomics for a long time--<a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140525181720/http://qwantz.com/index.php">Dinosaur | |
| Comics</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140525181720/http://achewood.com/">Achewood</a> | |
| being two great, classic examples. And as you, our loyal readers, have noticed, | |
| we''re using it too!</p> | |
| <p>Not all pages will have alt text. Some pages might not have alt text when they | |
| go up, but it''ll get added in later. Some pages might have alt text when they | |
| go up but then it gets changed or taken down later, perhaps due to members of | |
| the team engaging in a friendly bout of one-upmanship, or an alien takeover, or | |
| attack of conscience. Who knows? </p> | |
| <p>Anyone in the team can write alt text, so you''ll never know who wrote what. | |
| But regardless of who''s writing it, rest assured that all alt-text is non-canon | |
| both for Homestuck canon at large and the specific story as well. This may change, | |
| in which case it will probably be made explicitly clear. But for now, it''s just | |
| for jokes. Japery. Funning. Humor, is what I''m saying. Which I know is not usually | |
| part of the MSPA experience, so brace yourselves.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway today wraps up this story, but there''s another page to come! Of what, | |
| you ask?! Let''s all find out... <em>together.</em></p> | |
| <p>Oh whoops it went up already I thought it was scheduled for later</p> | |
| <p>no one notice this ok</p> | |
| <p>thanks</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |

| </p><p>Hello hello!</p> | |
| <p>Sorry for the radio silence of late; the PXS team is a pretty small one and | |
| we''ve all been extra busy lately! We appreciate your patience. :)</p> | |
| <p>Tag system improvements are still in the works, currently taking a back seat | |
| to longer-term and larger-scale technical stuff that should improve both the performance | |
| of both PXS and MSPA itself. Sorry about that; I know the tags are often a bit | |
| off! </p> | |
| <p>We''ve had reports of a malicious, hijacking ad. <strong>THIS IS NOT OKAY BY | |
| US.</strong> Sometimes bad ads can get through the ad service we use, much to | |
| our chagrin. If this happens to you, please email issues@paradoxspace.com with | |
| as much information as you can get! This includes the ad itself, where the ad | |
| sent you, what browser you''re using, anything. Thank you! We want this to happen | |
| as little as possible, and that means getting info to the ad service as fast as | |
| we can to get the offending ad axed.</p> | |
| <p>We''ve had some stories from new contributors lately! Big PXS welcomes to <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141021223948/http://www.maryborsellino.com/mary/">Mary | |

| Porter</a>! Thanks for being a part of this little experiment!</p> | |
| <p>We are still going through some of the portfolios that we''ve been linked, | |
| both for writers and inkers. We may soon be looking for colorists; keep an eye | |
| on this space, and get your portfolios ready! </p> | |

| </p><p>It''s not March, but you know, it seemed like a good time to hang out with | |
| some leprechauns. </p> | |
| <p>Starting today and continuing for the next five weeks, we''ll be exploring | |
| a very green mansion, led by Mister Seven himself. This comic was laid out and | |
| sketched by the incredibly skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150217050440/http://deadwinter.cc/">Allison | |

| Patreon</a>?) sometime over the next few weeks. It was drawn, colored and lettered | |
| by the amazing <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150217050440/http://helvetica.jnwiedle.com/">Jones | |
| Wiedle</a>, whose lettering has been invaluable on past comics, and whose comic | |

| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>We have a special meal for you this week! That''s right, it''s a Sweet | |
| Bro and Hella Jeff Meowrail Sandwich!</p> | |
| <p>They''re a little more unusual than your garden variety tuna salad so let me | |
| explain. You take two thin slices of SBAHJ bread--not too much or it will become | |
| overwhelming--and between them you put a nice sturdy helping of meowrails. Two | |
| great tastes that taste great together, and need a whole week to be fully enjoyed!</p> | |
| <p>So what I''m saying is we have one page of SBAHJ to start you off, by the illustrious | |
| and hilarious <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140623113143/http://kcgreendotcom.com/">KC | |
| Green</a>. KC is a super cool guy and one of the few who really have the chops | |
| to make something SBAHJ without being over the top. Plus, he just started a cool | |
| <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140623113143/http://backcomic.com/">comic | |
| called "Back"</a> that he''s making with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140623113143/http://nedroid.com/">Anthony | |
| Clark</a>! You should check it out. </p> | |
| <p>In the middle of the week--right now--we have <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140623113143/http://poinko.tumblr.com/">Phil | |
| Gibson</a>''s second story, "Hunting Lesson," this one illustrated by the extremely | |
| skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140623113143/http://paperseverywhere.tumblr.com/">Adrienne | |
| Garcia</a>, who you may know by the name "paperseverywhere." She came to our attention | |
| with her gorgeous fan art and we were extremely pleased that she had the time | |
| and desire to work with us!</p> | |
| <p>And to round out the week we''ll have one more slice of SBAHJ--but I''ll leave | |
| that mysterious for now. </p> | |
| <p>I''m extremely pleased on a personal level that we finally have a story where | |
| Equius gets to shine. He is my pride and joy, inasmuch as a sweaty, fictional | |
| alien teen can be such a thing. For a while I was trying to think of something | |
| special I could do whenever we had an Equius comic, but I ultimately decided that | |
| I would have to be content with just feeling smug. (Which I do.)</p> | |
| <p>Finally, a small note. PXS is currently looking for <strong>professional freelance | |
| inkers</strong>. We have avoided opening submissions in any way because we''re | |
| more than sure that it would be opening a floodgate we don''t have the time or | |
| energy to deal with. However, in this case, we are counting on you, our perspicacious | |
| audience, to self-select wisely. If you are an experienced artist whose inking | |
| skills are as exemplary as your professionalism, please <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140623113143/mailto:rachel@whatpumpkin.com">shoot | |
| me an email</a>. In this email, please include a link to your portfolio (not attached | |
| files), a little about yourself and your level of experience, and any other information | |
| that might be germane to working with you. If you know someone who fulfills these | |
| requirements we would vastly prefer that rather than writing in to us with their | |
| info, you ask them to email us themselves. </p> | |
| <p>Thanks everyone, hope you enjoy your sandwich! There''s also some potato chips | |
| to go with it, and a nice apple, because fruits and veggies are important.</p> | |

| <p>I''d also like to mention that Secret Sufferer is at 25 page long comic, but | |
| it''s broken up into a couple smaller stories, so don''t be alarmed that Friday''s | |

| </p><p>Whoa. WHOA. We went a while without speaking there. We''re really sorry. | |
| We''re not mad at you, we promise. We just get busy sometimes. </p> | |
| <p>Well! Since we last spoke, you''ve all seen a lot, huh? You saw <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.paradoxspace.com/a-fun-day-for-gcat">A | |
| Fun Day For GCAT</a> that was written by me and beautifully drawn by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.eiffelart.ca/">Matt | |
| Cummings</a>. Then you saw the exciting, mostly-grey adventure of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.paradoxspace.com/quality-time">Quality | |
| Time</a>, which was drawn by the incredible <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://hannibrosh.com/">Hanni | |
| Brosh</a> and written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://mspaintadventures.com/">an | |
| obscure writer you probably haven''t heard of</a>. </p> | |
| <p>And now here we are, together, with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.paradoxspace.com/fetch-quest">Fetch | |
| Quest</a>, written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://poinko.tumblr.com/">Phil | |
| Gibson</a> and drawn by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.rice-boy.com/">Evan | |
| Dahm</a>. Evan''s story <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.rice-boy.com/see/">Rice | |
| Boy</a> was one of the earliest webcomics I got into, and it''s really beautiful, | |
| as are his other works. I have to admit that I am not current with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.rice-boy.com/vattu/">Vattu</a>--ever | |
| since <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.rice-boy.com/order/">Order | |
| of Tales</a> my preference has been to wait and buy the books when they come out. | |
| Curling up with a brand new Evan Dahm hardcover knowing it''s all new to you is | |
| an experience to be cherished. But don''t let that stop you reading those stories! | |
| I have it on good authority that my waiting around makes me A Weirdo.</p> | |
| <p>One not-totally-intentional side effect to Paradox Space is that we''re exposing | |
| a lot of people to artists and writers they might not have known otherwise. We | |
| really try to work with people whose work we love and admire, which of course | |
| leads to us approaching artists whose work we''ve followed. We do want to bring | |
| totally new artists to you, too; but it''s my hope that you''ll follow at least | |
| one of those author or artist links and find a new love. Homestuck is great, but | |
| there''s so much more out there too!</p> | |
| <h5>Haha just kidding it''s all Homestuck don''t look around <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://www.whatpumpkin.com/home.php">read | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |

| </p><p>Hello hello!</p> | |
| <p>Sorry for the radio silence of late; the PXS team is a pretty small one and | |
| we''ve all been extra busy lately! We appreciate your patience. :)</p> | |
| <p>Tag system improvements are still in the works, currently taking a back seat | |
| to longer-term and larger-scale technical stuff that should improve both the performance | |
| of both PXS and MSPA itself. Sorry about that; I know the tags are often a bit | |
| off! </p> | |
| <p>We''ve had reports of a malicious, hijacking ad. <strong>THIS IS NOT OKAY BY | |
| US.</strong> Sometimes bad ads can get through the ad service we use, much to | |
| our chagrin. If this happens to you, please email issues@paradoxspace.com with | |
| as much information as you can get! This includes the ad itself, where the ad | |
| sent you, what browser you''re using, anything. Thank you! We want this to happen | |
| as little as possible, and that means getting info to the ad service as fast as | |
| we can to get the offending ad axed.</p> | |
| <p>We''ve had some stories from new contributors lately! Big PXS welcomes to <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140908021329/http://www.maryborsellino.com/mary/">Mary | |

| <p>We are still going through some of the portfolios that we''ve been linked, | |
| both for writers and inkers. We may soon be looking for colorists; keep an eye | |
| on this space, and get your portfolios ready! </p> | |

| \ my job, but you wouldn't be the first to have tried.</p>\n<p>Far from it...</p>\n\ | |
| <p><strong>\u2022 Does Andrew read these emails?</strong></p>\n<p>Probably not.\ | |
| \ When he's not flying all over the country, or working tirelessly on some project\ | |
| \ or other, he's likely floating, semi-conscious, in his Michael Jackson chamber.\ | |
| \ It does not get wifi. The good news is that I and the others do read your emails.\ | |

| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |

| - author: Rachel | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello again my friends. Welcome to the weekend! Have you caught up on <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a> | |
| yet? </p> | |
| <p>It seems I have a few small issues to address! It is raining here and therefore | |
| the title to this post is appropriate and funny (you are not required to laugh). | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed severe negative reactions to Karkat''s having a | |
| pink tongue in this comic. For reference, I''ve come up with a series of exploratory | |
| questions one can ask oneself to figure out whether an issue in a comic is one | |
| that''s worth fretting over.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this something that is important to canon?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Karkat''s blood color would be an important thing, and would be a big mistake | |
| if we got it wrong! Karkat''s tongue color, on the other hand, has not been mentioned | |
| in canon. We can assume that unless tongue color turns out to be an extremely | |
| important part of beating Lord English, it is probably not important at all. </p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this important to the story being told?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Sometimes things that aren''t important to canon can be important to the small | |
| stories that we tell. But since Karkat''s tongue hasn''t been important (yet?!) | |
| in this story, it''s probably not important at all.</p> | |
| <p>I don''t want to make light of small quibbles! (Okay, I do, but not too much.) | |
| I understand that canon adherence is really important to some people. But that''s | |
| not what we''re really about here. If you''re looking for information, the <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck">Homestuck | |
| wiki</a> is remarkably well-kept by its very dedicated caretakers. (In fact, so | |
| well-kept that we often use it to check our stories and refresh our memories.) | |
| But Paradox Space is going to generally be much more about telling stories than | |
| it is about canonicity. </p> | |
| <p>I''m also aware that there''s been some dismay that no stories yet have reached | |
| the full depth of emotion that Homestuck itself has. To this I''m sort of forced | |
| to say, Well, duh. So far we''ve been telling short, lighthearted stories. Homestuck | |
| has literally thousands of pages to move smoothly (or sometimes not that smoothly) | |
| between emotional gears; our longest story so far is this seven-page one that''s | |
| running! We do have some more serious stories in the works, and we do want to | |
| reach more emotional range, but the only way we can even try for that is because | |
| we''re working with established characters in an established universe. What it | |
| boils down to, I guess, is please have patience and trust us!</p> | |
| <p>Another thing I''ve heard pretty repetitively has been <strong>Oooh! I know | |
| where this story is going!</strong> And again I find myself forced to say--Well, | |
| duh. Predicting where a story is going when it''s told at this pace isn''t truly | |
| that hard. I hope that what you enjoy is the telling of it, rather than just the | |
| prediction of where it''s going. As always, serial readers find themselves in | |
| a very different position than archival readers. </p> | |
| <p>Two more things to address: One, we''re still getting lots of people writing | |
| in and asking how they can work with us. <strong>Right now, you can''t. If we''re | |
| interested in working together, we will come to you.</strong> I know that it''s | |
| taught, especially in art schools, that there''s no harm in being confident and | |
| putting yourself out there--but for us, right now, it''s truly more annoying than | |
| it is helpful. If we''re looking for artists, we''ll let you know, I promise! | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Two, dear, sweet, precious, sweet, sweet, readers. If you''re asking <strong>Why | |
| aren''t we talking about this?!</strong> or <strong>Has anyone else seen this?!</strong> | |
| I can assure you on both counts that people have seen it and are talking about | |
| it. In every single instance I have seen of those questions, it is so. Perhaps, | |
| dear readers, you need to look around a little better. </p> | |
| <p>If you have any other small questions, in addition to our email, you can shoot | |
| them to me on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://rachelpxs.tumblr.com/">my | |
| tumblr made specifically for that purpose</a> if it delights you to do so. </p> | |
| <p>Oh--and for goodness'' sake, stop asking about <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://paradoxspace.com/headed-for-stardom/2">that | |
| rabbit.</a></p> | |

| <p>We got a great response to our last invitation for writers, but most of the | |

| like to thank each and every one of you who''ve supported us during this past | |
| year. It''s been a new experience for all of us, and we''re so grateful you came | |
| along with us on this weird little journey!</p> | |
| <p>From myself personally, I''d like to extend an extra thanks to everyone we''ve | |
| worked with--especially my coworkers, the other editors of PXS, who are hardworking, | |
| tireless, and lovely. I''d also like to thank all the visual artists, writers, | |
| designers, and other freelancers we''ve worked with, who have sweat blood for | |
| what are objectively very silly stories, and to whom I could not be more grateful | |
| or appreciative. Working with, as they say, "creatives" is my favorite part of | |
| the job and I feel very humbled and lucky to have worked with you all!</p> | |
| <p>Happy 413, everyone. :)</p> | |

| </p><p>Hello again. It is me once more. Your owl friend.</p> | |
| <p>It seems that people are starting to take notice of the alt text that is popping | |
| up on some of the comic pages! For those who aren''t familiar, "alt text" comes | |
| from "alternative text." Its original purpose was to describe the image as a sort | |
| of fail-safe, whether that was for blind or visually impaired users, or because | |
| someone had images disabled in their browser, or in case the internet connection | |
| was really bad and couldn''t deal with images. Or whatever.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, alt text has been lovingly misused by webcomics for a long time--<a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140528144410/http://qwantz.com/index.php">Dinosaur | |
| Comics</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140528144410/http://achewood.com/">Achewood</a> | |
| being two great, classic examples. And as you, our loyal readers, have noticed, | |
| we''re using it too!</p> | |
| <p>Not all pages will have alt text. Some pages might not have alt text when they | |
| go up, but it''ll get added in later. Some pages might have alt text when they | |
| go up but then it gets changed or taken down later, perhaps due to members of | |
| the team engaging in a friendly bout of one-upmanship, or an alien takeover, or | |
| attack of conscience. Who knows? </p> | |
| <p>Anyone in the team can write alt text, so you''ll never know who wrote what. | |
| But regardless of who''s writing it, rest assured that all alt-text is non-canon | |
| both for Homestuck canon at large and the specific story as well. This may change, | |
| in which case it will probably be made explicitly clear. But for now, it''s just | |
| for jokes. Japery. Funning. Humor, is what I''m saying. Which I know is not usually | |
| part of the MSPA experience, so brace yourselves.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway today wraps up this story, but there''s another page to come! Of what, | |
| you ask?! Let''s all find out... <em>together.</em></p> | |
| <p>Oh whoops it went up already I thought it was scheduled for later</p> | |
| <p>no one notice this ok</p> | |
| <p>thanks</p> | |

| - author: Rachel | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello again my friends. Welcome to the weekend! Have you caught up on <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a> | |
| yet? </p> | |
| <p>It seems I have a few small issues to address! It is raining here and therefore | |
| the title to this post is appropriate and funny (you are not required to laugh). | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed severe negative reactions to Karkat''s having a | |
| pink tongue in this comic. For reference, I''ve come up with a series of exploratory | |
| questions one can ask oneself to figure out whether an issue in a comic is one | |
| that''s worth fretting over.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this something that is important to canon?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Karkat''s blood color would be an important thing, and would be a big mistake | |
| if we got it wrong! Karkat''s tongue color, on the other hand, has not been mentioned | |
| in canon. We can assume that unless tongue color turns out to be an extremely | |
| important part of beating Lord English, it is probably not important at all. </p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this important to the story being told?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Sometimes things that aren''t important to canon can be important to the small | |
| stories that we tell. But since Karkat''s tongue hasn''t been important (yet?!) | |
| in this story, it''s probably not important at all.</p> | |
| <p>I don''t want to make light of small quibbles! (Okay, I do, but not too much.) | |
| I understand that canon adherence is really important to some people. But that''s | |
| not what we''re really about here. If you''re looking for information, the <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck">Homestuck | |
| wiki</a> is remarkably well-kept by its very dedicated caretakers. (In fact, so | |
| well-kept that we often use it to check our stories and refresh our memories.) | |
| But Paradox Space is going to generally be much more about telling stories than | |
| it is about canonicity. </p> | |
| <p>I''m also aware that there''s been some dismay that no stories yet have reached | |
| the full depth of emotion that Homestuck itself has. To this I''m sort of forced | |
| to say, Well, duh. So far we''ve been telling short, lighthearted stories. Homestuck | |
| has literally thousands of pages to move smoothly (or sometimes not that smoothly) | |
| between emotional gears; our longest story so far is this seven-page one that''s | |
| running! We do have some more serious stories in the works, and we do want to | |
| reach more emotional range, but the only way we can even try for that is because | |
| we''re working with established characters in an established universe. What it | |
| boils down to, I guess, is please have patience and trust us!</p> | |
| <p>Another thing I''ve heard pretty repetitively has been <strong>Oooh! I know | |
| where this story is going!</strong> And again I find myself forced to say--Well, | |
| duh. Predicting where a story is going when it''s told at this pace isn''t truly | |
| that hard. I hope that what you enjoy is the telling of it, rather than just the | |
| prediction of where it''s going. As always, serial readers find themselves in | |
| a very different position than archival readers. </p> | |
| <p>Two more things to address: One, we''re still getting lots of people writing | |
| in and asking how they can work with us. <strong>Right now, you can''t. If we''re | |
| interested in working together, we will come to you.</strong> I know that it''s | |
| taught, especially in art schools, that there''s no harm in being confident and | |
| putting yourself out there--but for us, right now, it''s truly more annoying than | |
| it is helpful. If we''re looking for artists, we''ll let you know, I promise! | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Two, dear, sweet, precious, sweet, sweet, readers. If you''re asking <strong>Why | |
| aren''t we talking about this?!</strong> or <strong>Has anyone else seen this?!</strong> | |
| I can assure you on both counts that people have seen it and are talking about | |
| it. In every single instance I have seen of those questions, it is so. Perhaps, | |
| dear readers, you need to look around a little better. </p> | |
| <p>If you have any other small questions, in addition to our email, you can shoot | |
| them to me on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://rachelpxs.tumblr.com/">my | |
| tumblr made specifically for that purpose</a> if it delights you to do so. </p> | |
| <p>Oh--and for goodness'' sake, stop asking about <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://paradoxspace.com/headed-for-stardom/2">that | |

| </p><p>Hello again. It is me once more. Your owl friend.</p> | |
| <p>It seems that people are starting to take notice of the alt text that is popping | |
| up on some of the comic pages! For those who aren''t familiar, "alt text" comes | |
| from "alternative text." Its original purpose was to describe the image as a sort | |
| of fail-safe, whether that was for blind or visually impaired users, or because | |
| someone had images disabled in their browser, or in case the internet connection | |
| was really bad and couldn''t deal with images. Or whatever.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, alt text has been lovingly misused by webcomics for a long time--<a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140522065636/http://qwantz.com/index.php">Dinosaur | |
| Comics</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140522065636/http://achewood.com/">Achewood</a> | |
| being two great, classic examples. And as you, our loyal readers, have noticed, | |
| we''re using it too!</p> | |
| <p>Not all pages will have alt text. Some pages might not have alt text when they | |
| go up, but it''ll get added in later. Some pages might have alt text when they | |
| go up but then it gets changed or taken down later, perhaps due to members of | |
| the team engaging in a friendly bout of one-upmanship, or an alien takeover, or | |
| attack of conscience. Who knows? </p> | |
| <p>Anyone in the team can write alt text, so you''ll never know who wrote what. | |
| But regardless of who''s writing it, rest assured that all alt-text is non-canon | |
| both for Homestuck canon at large and the specific story as well. This may change, | |
| in which case it will probably be made explicitly clear. But for now, it''s just | |
| for jokes. Japery. Funning. Humor, is what I''m saying. Which I know is not usually | |
| part of the MSPA experience, so brace yourselves.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway today wraps up this story, but there''s another page to come! Of what, | |
| you ask?! Let''s all find out... <em>together.</em></p> | |
| <p>Oh whoops it went up already I thought it was scheduled for later</p> | |
| <p>no one notice this ok</p> | |
| <p>thanks</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141103172221/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |
| Court</a> right now. It''s okay, I''ll wait here until you finish) and I also | |
| want to give shout-outs to Incineraptor and Mary Cagle!! | |
| Oh, and there''s me I guess. Hi! My name is Blueberry and I''m an Assistant Editor | |
| here at Paradox Space. I also have a really cute cat.</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello, it''s me again. The fact that it''s me is how you know something | |
| weird is going on.</p> | |
| <p>Here''s a cool thing that will happen with this website sometimes. Every now | |
| and then, we will flip a switch, and that little button that says "2x UPDATE COMBO | |
| WEEK" will appear up there in the corner. This means for that week, Paradox Space | |
| will update with two pages per day. </p> | |
| <p>I know, right? That''s a lot of comics! When the idea for this site was first | |
| conceived, this is something I pictured as a standard for it. Frequently more | |
| than one (or even more than two??) pages per day. I would like to work toward | |
| this being a more common thing for the site. For now though, it will be kind of | |
| a special thing. It will take some time to make that idea sustainable. Posting | |
| ten pages in a week burns through a lot of comics! But as this comic-making process | |
| gets more streamlined, it is my hope that this will occur more often - perhaps | |
| it will even become normal.</p> | |
| <p>Part of "making it sustainable" has to do with cost. In case it was not obvious, | |
| I''m paying all the writers and artists a decent page-rate to make everything | |
| you see here. In fact, this is probably one of the most expensive webcomics to | |
| run for that reason. Usually, a webcomic involves one guy like me, who just makes | |
| a bunch of stuff "for free", puts it up, and whatever the site makes covers server | |
| costs, and some extra for the webcomic guy to live on. This is a much more distributed | |
| production though, involving many people. And that''s fine! At one page per day | |
| we can make that work without a sweat. It''s when you start racking up multiple | |
| pages per day, the costs start getting kooky. So my intention is to work on figuring | |
| that out, to make it sustainable. By optimizing ads, printing books, etc. Your | |
| support, as always, is critical and appreciated.</p> | |
| <p>What is implied here is that I am thinking in the long term with this site, | |
| and expecting it to grow and evolve. Part of that is frequency of the content. | |
| The other part is nature of the content. I spoke of what kind of comics to expect | |
| here in my initial spiel, but I think I can simplify it further.</p> | |
| <p>It seems to me there will be two types of content this site runs. The funny | |
| and gaggy kind, like the one my pal <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140525181720/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/"> | |
| KC Green</a> did a couple weeks ago, and the one running currently by the very | |
| funny <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140525181720/http://www.gastrophobia.com/"> | |
| David McGuire</a>. These are comics full of laffs, but quite obviously have no | |
| relation to canon events. Then there is the more "substantive" kind, which conceivably | |
| could have taken place in canon, and contribute a little more to your understanding | |
| of the characters and the story overall. The Flarp story last week by Benito and | |
| Kristin I think fits this description. Sure seems like that arc could have happened | |
| in canon, doesn''t it? If that is what you would like to believe, you will get | |
| no argument from me. Eridan getting owned is ALWAYS plausible, the end.</p> | |
| <p>My sense is that as this comic goes along, the latter type of content will | |
| be more exciting to the audience. Chuckles are always great, but "substantive" | |
| elaboration on the characters and universe are understandably seen as more rewarding. | |
| So I will try to nudge production in that direction. Again, it''ll take some time | |
| to make that a fully sustainable idea. I can''t just snap my fingers and expect | |
| other writers to have the comprehensive understanding of all this nonsense that | |
| I have. It''ll take a while to get there. But I am patient. I am also confident | |
| that the creative people behind this operation will keep putting out good comics, | |
| and that this site will continue evolving into something you will find more rewarding | |
| to visit with each passing month.</p> | |
| <p>Now let''s all kick back, relax, and google some horse memes.</p> | |
| <p>Edit: Whoaaa. Those are all HORRIBLE. Let''s forget I suggested that idea!</p> | |

| \ big hand for Andrew, without whom none of this would be possible and I in particular,\ | |
| \ would still be trying to murder local sports coaches and garage bands with my\ | |
| \ mind. Also, big-ups to <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20140423230534/http://gunshowcomic.com/250\"\ | |
| >KC Green</a> for the latest story. One day we're all going to find out that he\ | |
| \ was just a man-suit full of comics. </p>\n<p>I'm Tauhid Bondia, also known\ | |
| \ as \"Black, Not-Hussie\". Not to be confused with Rachel \"My Last Name is so\ | |
| \ Cool, Your Last Name Will Kill Itself\", Kory \"So This is What's up With My\ | |
| \ Cat, You Guys\" and Matt \"There's a Strong Chance I'm Wearing a Hat Right Now\"\ | |
| . You'll meet them all shortly. Together, we comprise the Paradox Space Crew and\ | |
| \ each of us brings something essential to the site. My job is to lend an eye\ | |
| \ to the design of and provide all the graphical elements on the site. I also\ | |
| \ manage the ads (you're WELCOME). The others can tell you more about themselves,\ | |
| \ but I think my point is that (much like the stories you'll be enjoying here)\ | |
| \ the Paradox Space site is a strong collaborative effort. </p>\n<p>Since it looks\ | |
| \ like we're answering burning questions, I'll take this time to go ahead a field\ | |
| \ a few.</p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Can I work for What Pumpkin?</strong></p>\n<p>Probably!\ | |
| \ If you want to know my secret, it's been to know these people for something\ | |
| \ like 10 years and spend most of that time learning about and practicing my craft.\ | |
| \ I don't know if that's helpful, though. You could always murder me and take\ | |
| \ my job, but you wouldn't be the first to have tried.</p>\n<p>Far from it...</p>\n\ | |
| <p><strong>\u2022 Does Andrew read these emails?</strong></p>\n<p>Probably not.\ | |
| \ When he's not flying all over the country, or working tirelessly on some project\ | |
| \ or other, he's likely floating, semi-conscious, in his Michael Jackson chamber.\ | |
| \ It does not get wifi. The good news is that I and the others do read your emails.\ | |
| \ We talk about you over cereal and coffee. All good stuff, though. </p>\n<p><strong>\u2022\ | |
| \ I thought some other thing was going to happen, but Paradox Space happened instead!\ | |
| \ Why is that?</strong></p>\n<p>This must be the first time something like this\ | |
| \ has happened to you! I can't imagine what that must be like. The only explanation\ | |

| </p><p>It''s not March, but you know, it seemed like a good time to hang out with | |
| some leprechauns. </p> | |
| <p>Starting today and continuing for the next five weeks, we''ll be exploring | |
| a very green mansion, led by Mister Seven himself. This comic was laid out and | |
| sketched by the incredibly skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150326040724/http://deadwinter.cc/">Allison | |

| by the amazing <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150326040724/http://helvetica.jnwiedle.com/">Jones | |
| Wiedle</a>, whose lettering has been invaluable on past comics, and whose comic | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>We have a special meal for you this week! That''s right, it''s a Sweet | |
| Bro and Hella Jeff Meowrail Sandwich!</p> | |
| <p>They''re a little more unusual than your garden variety tuna salad so let me | |
| explain. You take two thin slices of SBAHJ bread--not too much or it will become | |
| overwhelming--and between them you put a nice sturdy helping of meowrails. Two | |
| great tastes that taste great together, and need a whole week to be fully enjoyed!</p> | |
| <p>So what I''m saying is we have one page of SBAHJ to start you off, by the illustrious | |
| and hilarious <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140629180801/http://kcgreendotcom.com/">KC | |
| Green</a>. KC is a super cool guy and one of the few who really have the chops | |
| to make something SBAHJ without being over the top. Plus, he just started a cool | |
| <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140629180801/http://backcomic.com/">comic | |
| called "Back"</a> that he''s making with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140629180801/http://nedroid.com/">Anthony | |
| Clark</a>! You should check it out. </p> | |
| <p>In the middle of the week--right now--we have <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140629180801/http://poinko.tumblr.com/">Phil | |
| Gibson</a>''s second story, "Hunting Lesson," this one illustrated by the extremely | |
| skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140629180801/http://paperseverywhere.tumblr.com/">Adrienne | |
| Garcia</a>, who you may know by the name "paperseverywhere." She came to our attention | |
| with her gorgeous fan art and we were extremely pleased that she had the time | |
| and desire to work with us!</p> | |
| <p>And to round out the week we''ll have one more slice of SBAHJ--but I''ll leave | |
| that mysterious for now. </p> | |
| <p>I''m extremely pleased on a personal level that we finally have a story where | |
| Equius gets to shine. He is my pride and joy, inasmuch as a sweaty, fictional | |
| alien teen can be such a thing. For a while I was trying to think of something | |
| special I could do whenever we had an Equius comic, but I ultimately decided that | |
| I would have to be content with just feeling smug. (Which I do.)</p> | |
| <p>Finally, a small note. PXS is currently looking for <strong>professional freelance | |
| inkers</strong>. We have avoided opening submissions in any way because we''re | |
| more than sure that it would be opening a floodgate we don''t have the time or | |
| energy to deal with. However, in this case, we are counting on you, our perspicacious | |
| audience, to self-select wisely. If you are an experienced artist whose inking | |
| skills are as exemplary as your professionalism, please <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140629180801/mailto:rachel@whatpumpkin.com">shoot | |
| me an email</a>. In this email, please include a link to your portfolio (not attached | |
| files), a little about yourself and your level of experience, and any other information | |
| that might be germane to working with you. If you know someone who fulfills these | |
| requirements we would vastly prefer that rather than writing in to us with their | |
| info, you ask them to email us themselves. </p> | |
| <p>Thanks everyone, hope you enjoy your sandwich! There''s also some potato chips | |
| to go with it, and a nice apple, because fruits and veggies are important.</p> | |

| </p><p>It''s my turn to make a news post! I''m Kory Bing, and I''m the Managing | |
| Editor! That means I ask people if they want to make comics, hire them to make | |
| comics, make sure they make those comics on time, and then let you read those | |
| comics.</p> | |
| <p>We round out our first week of Paradox Space with a comic by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/">KC | |
| Green</a>! You may remember this Zoo from KC''s comic <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://gunshowcomic.com/250">Gunshow</a>, | |
| or maybe <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://horribleville.com/d/20060312.html">another | |
| comic</a>. Don''t go to that zoo, I guess is the moral here. KC also made our | |
| 404 images, which you can find by breaking the site (note: Matt has told me not | |
| to ask you to break the site on purpose I am sorry).</p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed their disappointment that the first week of Paradox | |
| Space did not include their favorite characters, but remember, this was just the | |
| first week! We have loads of plans to feature all your favorite characters. Yes | |
| even that one. Probably. Most likely.</p> | |

| like to thank each and every one of you who''ve supported us during this past | |
| year. It''s been a new experience for all of us, and we''re so grateful you came | |
| along with us on this weird little journey!</p> | |
| <p>From myself personally, I''d like to extend an extra thanks to everyone we''ve | |
| worked with--especially my coworkers, the other editors of PXS, who are hardworking, | |
| tireless, and lovely. I''d also like to thank all the visual artists, writers, | |
| designers, and other freelancers we''ve worked with, who have sweat blood for | |
| what are objectively very silly stories, and to whom I could not be more grateful | |
| or appreciative. Working with, as they say, "creatives" is my favorite part of | |
| the job and I feel very humbled and lucky to have worked with you all!</p> | |

| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |

| </p><p>Well hello. It is me, Rachel, your new owl friend. Very nice to meet you.</p> | |
| <p>This week we will be enjoying <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140423230534/http://paradoxspace.com/prototyped/1">"Prototyped,"</a> | |
| from the illustrious Zack Morrison, who--again--creates the fantastic comic <a | |

| When I say we will be enjoying it, I mean we <em>will</em> be enjoying it. If | |
| you do not experience enjoyment please report to your local Paradox Space Re-Education | |
| Center, because there has been a malfunction. </p> | |
| <p>I guess now it is incumbent upon me to answer some questions also! </p> | |
| <p><strong>I have a great idea and/or script and/or drawing! Can I submit it?</strong></p> | |
| <p>I''m sorry, but at present we are not open to submissions, and we have no current | |
| plans to open submissions. You can check out our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140423230534/http://paradoxspace.com/contact_us">contact</a> | |
| page if you are ever curious if we are opening submissions.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Who is drawing the current comic?</strong></p> | |
| <p>You can find this information in several places--on the title page or panel | |
| of the story, on our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140423230534/http://paradoxspace.com/stories">stories | |
| page</a>, or on the footer of any image in the story (a recommendation from a | |
| reader!). If you''re going to repost any image from Paradox Space, <strong>please | |
| keep the footer intact.</strong> It''s respectful to the artists and allows people | |
| who see the image but may not be familiar with PXS to find us! </p> | |
| <p><strong>Why is this more John bullshit? John is personally victimizing me.</strong></p> | |
| <p>Oddly, John is an important character in the comic. We, as much as you, relish | |
| the chance that Paradox Space gives us to tell stories from characters who don''t | |
| get as much screen time. Have patience!</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, you are required to enjoy this comic, as it is great. Paranatural is | |
| a comic you should definitely read between Paradox Space updates (we have helpfully | |
| allowed you to keep your weekends free for this activity). Relatedly, "Attack | |
| the Block" is a good movie. </p> | |

| </p><p>It''s not March, but you know, it seemed like a good time to hang out with | |
| some leprechauns. </p> | |
| <p>Starting today and continuing for the next five weeks, we''ll be exploring | |
| a very green mansion, led by Mister Seven himself. This comic was laid out and | |
| sketched by the incredibly skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150316042718/http://deadwinter.cc/">Allison | |
| Shabet</a>, who will probably be talking a bit about the process at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150316042718/http://rallyyy.tumblr.com/">her | |

| Patreon</a>?) sometime over the next few weeks. It was drawn, colored and lettered | |
| by the amazing <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150316042718/http://helvetica.jnwiedle.com/">Jones | |
| Wiedle</a>, whose lettering has been invaluable on past comics, and whose comic | |

| </p><p>Hello again. It is me once more. Your owl friend.</p> | |
| <p>It seems that people are starting to take notice of the alt text that is popping | |
| up on some of the comic pages! For those who aren''t familiar, "alt text" comes | |
| from "alternative text." Its original purpose was to describe the image as a sort | |
| of fail-safe, whether that was for blind or visually impaired users, or because | |
| someone had images disabled in their browser, or in case the internet connection | |
| was really bad and couldn''t deal with images. Or whatever.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, alt text has been lovingly misused by webcomics for a long time--<a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140603120806/http://qwantz.com/index.php">Dinosaur | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>A brand new webcomic, to be exact. One that has launched on the 5th anniversary | |
| of Homestuck''s first page. If the thirteenth of April holds a magical place in | |
| your heart, then chances are, you are on pins and needles waiting for me to post | |
| the end of the story. It will still be quite some time before that happens. I''ve | |
| had too much else going on to be able to attack the remaining content with the | |
| ferocity that has been characteristic of my update schedule over the years. It | |
| is nothing short of The Greatest Tragedy that a beloved story is held hostage | |
| to the ability of a single artist to continue creating it. Which brings us to | |
| the website called Paradox Space, and the chapter it will represent in Homestuck''s | |
| extended life cycle.</p> | |
| <p>As I work on finishing the story, I tend to think a lot about where Homestuck | |
| as a creative property goes from here. It''s hard to ignore the fact that it has | |
| turned into something much bigger than just a long, crazy story on the internet. | |
| It has a lot of fans, and there''s a whole culture surrounding it. Friendships | |
| have been made, lives have been changed, or so people tell me. Those who like | |
| HS are extremely fond of the characters, yet those characters are trapped - "stuck" | |
| if you will - inside a very particular narrative, which itself has been at the | |
| mercy of my ability to produce it. So when I think about the future of Homestuck, | |
| I envision projects which liberate the things people love about it from the story | |
| itself, and most importantly, from my intensive personal effort.</p> | |
| <p>So this website is the first major step in that direction. Here is the idea:</p> | |
| <p>Paradox Space will feature many short comic stories involving literally any | |
| characters and settings from Homestuck. Any point in canon could be visited and | |
| elaborated on, whether it''s backstory, some scenes that were skipped over or | |
| alluded to, funny hypothetical scenarios which have nothing to do with canon events, | |
| or exploring things that could have happened in canon through the "doomed timeline" | |
| mechanic that is a defining trait of Homestuck''s multiverse-continuum known as | |
| "paradox space". There is a WHOLE LOT of fun stuff we can do here; and we will!</p> | |
| <p>The idea is also to get a lot of different artists and writers involved. It''s | |
| going to be a major team effort. Occasionally I will write some comic scripts, | |
| particularly at the onset to help get this off the ground. But I''d like that | |
| to be the exception rather than the rule. I think it will be exciting to see how | |
| a talented pool of creators can work within the HS universe, and what they will | |
| bring to these characters. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see who''s | |
| contributing so far. I guarantee that list of names will expand considerably in | |
| the months ahead.</p> | |
| <p>And a quick shout-out to those I regard as the core contributors of Paradox | |
| Space. Rachel and Kory, who are the managing editors of the content. Tauhid, who | |
| designed this sick website. And Matt, who coded this sick website. These people | |
| worked very hard to get this site up and running. They did a great job.</p> | |
| <p>Paradox Space updates with a new page every weekday, starting this week. Next | |
| update is Tuesday, with the first page of another short story. What''s it gonna | |
| be?? Believe me when I say these arcs can involve anything and anyone.</p> | |
| <p>The first story was drawn by Zack Morrison, who is a super solid comic maker. | |
| You should take a look at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140423230534/http://www.paranatural.net/" | |
| target="_blank">his webcomic</a> when you get the chance. It''s really good! I''m | |
| not even "just sayin" that either. Why do ya think we asked him to make the first | |
| comic?? Dude''s great. ;-]</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello again. It is me once more. Your owl friend.</p> | |
| <p>It seems that people are starting to take notice of the alt text that is popping | |
| up on some of the comic pages! For those who aren''t familiar, "alt text" comes | |
| from "alternative text." Its original purpose was to describe the image as a sort | |
| of fail-safe, whether that was for blind or visually impaired users, or because | |
| someone had images disabled in their browser, or in case the internet connection | |
| was really bad and couldn''t deal with images. Or whatever.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, alt text has been lovingly misused by webcomics for a long time--<a | |

| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello, it''s me again. The fact that it''s me is how you know something | |
| weird is going on.</p> | |
| <p>Here''s a cool thing that will happen with this website sometimes. Every now | |
| and then, we will flip a switch, and that little button that says "2x UPDATE COMBO | |
| WEEK" will appear up there in the corner. This means for that week, Paradox Space | |
| will update with two pages per day. </p> | |
| <p>I know, right? That''s a lot of comics! When the idea for this site was first | |
| conceived, this is something I pictured as a standard for it. Frequently more | |
| than one (or even more than two??) pages per day. I would like to work toward | |
| this being a more common thing for the site. For now though, it will be kind of | |
| a special thing. It will take some time to make that idea sustainable. Posting | |
| ten pages in a week burns through a lot of comics! But as this comic-making process | |
| gets more streamlined, it is my hope that this will occur more often - perhaps | |
| it will even become normal.</p> | |
| <p>Part of "making it sustainable" has to do with cost. In case it was not obvious, | |
| I''m paying all the writers and artists a decent page-rate to make everything | |
| you see here. In fact, this is probably one of the most expensive webcomics to | |
| run for that reason. Usually, a webcomic involves one guy like me, who just makes | |
| a bunch of stuff "for free", puts it up, and whatever the site makes covers server | |
| costs, and some extra for the webcomic guy to live on. This is a much more distributed | |
| production though, involving many people. And that''s fine! At one page per day | |
| we can make that work without a sweat. It''s when you start racking up multiple | |
| pages per day, the costs start getting kooky. So my intention is to work on figuring | |
| that out, to make it sustainable. By optimizing ads, printing books, etc. Your | |
| support, as always, is critical and appreciated.</p> | |
| <p>What is implied here is that I am thinking in the long term with this site, | |
| and expecting it to grow and evolve. Part of that is frequency of the content. | |
| The other part is nature of the content. I spoke of what kind of comics to expect | |
| here in my initial spiel, but I think I can simplify it further.</p> | |
| <p>It seems to me there will be two types of content this site runs. The funny | |
| and gaggy kind, like the one my pal <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140522065636/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/"> | |
| KC Green</a> did a couple weeks ago, and the one running currently by the very | |
| funny <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140522065636/http://www.gastrophobia.com/"> | |
| David McGuire</a>. These are comics full of laffs, but quite obviously have no | |
| relation to canon events. Then there is the more "substantive" kind, which conceivably | |
| could have taken place in canon, and contribute a little more to your understanding | |
| of the characters and the story overall. The Flarp story last week by Benito and | |
| Kristin I think fits this description. Sure seems like that arc could have happened | |
| in canon, doesn''t it? If that is what you would like to believe, you will get | |
| no argument from me. Eridan getting owned is ALWAYS plausible, the end.</p> | |
| <p>My sense is that as this comic goes along, the latter type of content will | |
| be more exciting to the audience. Chuckles are always great, but "substantive" | |
| elaboration on the characters and universe are understandably seen as more rewarding. | |
| So I will try to nudge production in that direction. Again, it''ll take some time | |
| to make that a fully sustainable idea. I can''t just snap my fingers and expect | |
| other writers to have the comprehensive understanding of all this nonsense that | |
| I have. It''ll take a while to get there. But I am patient. I am also confident | |
| that the creative people behind this operation will keep putting out good comics, | |
| and that this site will continue evolving into something you will find more rewarding | |
| to visit with each passing month.</p> | |
| <p>Now let''s all kick back, relax, and google some horse memes.</p> | |
| <p>Edit: Whoaaa. Those are all HORRIBLE. Let''s forget I suggested that idea!</p> | |

| </p><p>Hey again everyone!</p> | |
| <p>I hope you''re enjoying this latest comic! Speaking as a huge fan of Equius, | |
| it''s one of my favorites. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141101074815/http://beyondthecanopy.com/">Jon''s</a> | |
| script is great, and as always <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141101074815/http://pukind.tumblr.com/">Mallory''s</a> | |
| art is gorgeous! Look at all those darling, sweaty Equius faces. My heart! </p> | |
| <p>We got a great response to our last invitation for writers, but most of the | |
| people writing in were men. We''d really love for others to write in, too, so | |
| please, if you were waiting for a sign, this should be it! If you''re a skilled | |
| writer, especially if you have experience writing for comics, please send me an | |
| email: rachel@whatpumpkin.com. Thank you!</p> | |
| <p>I''m sure you''ve also noticed that our tag system is still not working right. | |
| I''m really sorry about that! Our technical guy <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141101074815/https://twitter.com/mhink1103">Matt</a> | |
| has been super busy. Thank you all for your patience and understanding!</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150119154207/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |

| </p><p>Hello hello!</p> | |
| <p>Sorry for the radio silence of late; the PXS team is a pretty small one and | |
| we''ve all been extra busy lately! We appreciate your patience. :)</p> | |
| <p>Tag system improvements are still in the works, currently taking a back seat | |
| to longer-term and larger-scale technical stuff that should improve both the performance | |
| of both PXS and MSPA itself. Sorry about that; I know the tags are often a bit | |
| off! </p> | |
| <p>We''ve had reports of a malicious, hijacking ad. <strong>THIS IS NOT OKAY BY | |
| US.</strong> Sometimes bad ads can get through the ad service we use, much to | |
| our chagrin. If this happens to you, please email issues@paradoxspace.com with | |
| as much information as you can get! This includes the ad itself, where the ad | |
| sent you, what browser you''re using, anything. Thank you! We want this to happen | |
| as little as possible, and that means getting info to the ad service as fast as | |
| we can to get the offending ad axed.</p> | |
| <p>We''ve had some stories from new contributors lately! Big PXS welcomes to <a | |

| on this space, and get your portfolios ready! </p> | |

| title: More Holiday Things! | |
| - author: Matt Hink | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well-- I suppose this would be a good time to introduce myself! My name | |
| is Matt Hink- as the fourth member of the Paradox Space team, I am the resident | |
| web developer and in fact, all-round technical guy for the site. A significant | |
| portion of my job is taking the (often somewhat unhinged) ideas that the rest | |
| of the team has and turn them into a functioning website. As some of you may | |
| have noticed, this is generally easier said than done. Websites can often be distinctly | |
| recalcitrant.</p> | |
| <p>The remainder of my job is attempting not to cry as Tauhid, Kory, and Rachel | |
| find ways to misuse the site. I am not particularly good at this. My beard is | |
| stained with tears.</p> | |
| <p>Anyways, circumstances like last night''s outage are likely the only time you''ll | |
| hear from me, as the rest of the team is much better than I am at saying words | |
| to people. But you can rest assured that I am constantly behind the scenes keeping | |
| a wary and at times paranoid eye over the Paradox Space server(s).</p> | |
| <p>And now, a few fun facts.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? During launch, our rate of requests peaked at around 3500 requests | |
| per minute, meaning that <strong>every second</strong>, about 58 users were accessing | |
| the site. Happily, the wave of the Homestuck fandom didn''t even come close to | |
| knocking us over. Since then, we''re down to about 200-300 requests per minute | |
| over the course of the day.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The 404 (File Not Found) and 500 (Internal Server Error) images | |
| were drawn by KC Green and Shad Andrews, respectively.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The final pre-launch touches to Paradox Space were made 4 minutes | |
| and 13 seconds before 4:13 on 04/13?</p> | |
| <p>Well, now you do.</p> | |
| <p>Couple notes of recognition: thanks to everyone who''s emailed in bug reports | |
| to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/mailto:issues@paradoxspace.com">issues@paradoxspace.com</a>- | |
| I do read them and generally take them into account. I''d also like to thank | |
| everyone who''s sent in encouraging emails to the team- I have this massive amount | |
| of respect for Rachel, Kory, and Tauhid, who constantly bust their rumps to make | |
| great stuff for you guys.</p> | |
| <p>P.S. To whoever it was on Tumblr that discovered the Swedish translation of | |
| my last name, thanks a WHOLE lot. My co-workers found out about it and now they | |
| won''t stop calling me "bucket". :(</p> | |

| </p><p>Hello hello!</p> | |
| <p>Sorry for the radio silence of late; the PXS team is a pretty small one and | |
| we''ve all been extra busy lately! We appreciate your patience. :)</p> | |
| <p>Tag system improvements are still in the works, currently taking a back seat | |
| to longer-term and larger-scale technical stuff that should improve both the performance | |
| of both PXS and MSPA itself. Sorry about that; I know the tags are often a bit | |
| off! </p> | |
| <p>We''ve had reports of a malicious, hijacking ad. <strong>THIS IS NOT OKAY BY | |
| US.</strong> Sometimes bad ads can get through the ad service we use, much to | |
| our chagrin. If this happens to you, please email issues@paradoxspace.com with | |
| as much information as you can get! This includes the ad itself, where the ad | |
| sent you, what browser you''re using, anything. Thank you! We want this to happen | |
| as little as possible, and that means getting info to the ad service as fast as | |
| we can to get the offending ad axed.</p> | |
| <p>We''ve had some stories from new contributors lately! Big PXS welcomes to <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140924070438/http://www.maryborsellino.com/mary/">Mary | |

| <p>We are still going through some of the portfolios that we''ve been linked, | |
| both for writers and inkers. We may soon be looking for colorists; keep an eye | |
| on this space, and get your portfolios ready! </p> | |
| <p>Thanks everyone; have a great weekend!</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>And... yep. Went STRAIGHT to the well of juggalo humor, right off the bat. | |
| Were you honestly expecting anything else? Frankly, shame on you if you were.</p> | |
| <p>"Headed for Stardom" is by Jonathan Griffiths. Observe more of his fine work | |
| <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140423230534/http://www.beyondthecanopy.com/" | |
| target="_blank">over here</a>!</p> | |
| <p>Soon I will take a step back from this news section and let other voices emerge. | |
| I''m the stern guardian figure pushing several frightened children on a rickety | |
| little bike, and they''re all nervous as hell. But I''m not. I''m smiling and | |
| beaming with pride as I let go of the bike at the top of a steep hill, which has | |
| a ramp at the bottom that launches over Sadcorpse Canyon. They''re not sure if | |
| they can make it. But I know they can. I know they can. (Also, they''re chained | |
| to the bike.)</p> | |
| <p>Now for a few "frequently asked questions", or as I like to call them, FREQAQUES.</p> | |
| <p><u>Do you have an RSS feed?</u></p> | |
| <p>Yes, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140423230534/http://www.paradoxspace.com/rss.atom" | |
| target="_blank">here it is</a>. </p> | |
| <p><u>Are these comics canon?</u></p> | |
| <p>I think you will have to use your own judgment on that. Sometimes there''s | |
| going to be some truly ridiculous nonsense that could not have possibly happened | |
| in canon. Other times, the events portrayed will at least be plausible, and will | |
| present no contradiction. Does that then mean those events are canon? Hard to | |
| say. A formal ruling here does not seem appropriate. </p> | |
| <p>If you want me to give you some guidelines that are AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE, here | |
| you go. For any given story, it is either "Definitely Not Canon" or "Possibly | |
| Canon". But no story should ever be regarded as "Definitely Canon", unless Homestuck | |
| itself confirms those events retroactively in some manner. Does that make sense??</p> | |
| <p><u>I really want to know about X, but Paradox Space keeps running a lot of | |
| silly shit that isn''t answering my questions about Homestuck.</u></p> | |
| <p>This isn''t frequently asked yet (also, it isn''t a question), but I''m anticipating | |
| the sentiment. Primarily, PS content will involve a lot of silly, funny stories | |
| that feature fun characters saying stupid things to each other and doing funny, | |
| silly things together. Much like Homestuck itself! SOMETIMES, these stories may | |
| brush with topics or events that weren''t fully elaborated on in Homestuck, and | |
| may offer some intriguing insight into what might have happened during certain | |
| unembellished portions of canon. But such stories are not guaranteed to be the | |
| site''s principle offering. Viewing it as an effort to pad out HS by filling all | |
| the holes and answering all the mysteries is not the right way to look at it. | |
| The right way to look at it is to see PS as a funny source of entertainment, where | |
| funny and entertaining comics are posted every weekday. And sometimes, those comics | |
| will be "interesting" as well.</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well hello. It is me, Rachel, your new owl friend. Very nice to meet you.</p> | |
| <p>This week we will be enjoying <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140430154248/http://paradoxspace.com/prototyped/1">"Prototyped,"</a> | |
| from the illustrious Zack Morrison, who--again--creates the fantastic comic <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140430154248/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a>. | |
| When I say we will be enjoying it, I mean we <em>will</em> be enjoying it. If | |
| you do not experience enjoyment please report to your local Paradox Space Re-Education | |
| Center, because there has been a malfunction. </p> | |
| <p>I guess now it is incumbent upon me to answer some questions also! </p> | |
| <p><strong>I have a great idea and/or script and/or drawing! Can I submit it?</strong></p> | |
| <p>I''m sorry, but at present we are not open to submissions, and we have no current | |
| plans to open submissions. You can check out our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140430154248/http://paradoxspace.com/contact_us">contact</a> | |
| page if you are ever curious if we are opening submissions.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Who is drawing the current comic?</strong></p> | |
| <p>You can find this information in several places--on the title page or panel | |
| of the story, on our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140430154248/http://paradoxspace.com/stories">stories | |
| page</a>, or on the footer of any image in the story (a recommendation from a | |
| reader!). If you''re going to repost any image from Paradox Space, <strong>please | |
| keep the footer intact.</strong> It''s respectful to the artists and allows people | |
| who see the image but may not be familiar with PXS to find us! </p> | |
| <p><strong>Why is this more John bullshit? John is personally victimizing me.</strong></p> | |
| <p>Oddly, John is an important character in the comic. We, as much as you, relish | |
| the chance that Paradox Space gives us to tell stories from characters who don''t | |
| get as much screen time. Have patience!</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, you are required to enjoy this comic, as it is great. Paranatural is | |
| a comic you should definitely read between Paradox Space updates (we have helpfully | |
| allowed you to keep your weekends free for this activity). Relatedly, "Attack | |
| the Block" is a good movie. </p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |

| art</a> since forever-ever. In fact, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140629180801/http://www.machall.com/">Mac | |
| Hall</a> was the first webcomic I''d ever discovered. I''m fan-plotzing right | |
| now, but as you can see, playing it totally cool. If this was some kind of convention, | |
| then this post would be the equivalent of my standing by his table all day, ignoring | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello, it''s me again. The fact that it''s me is how you know something | |
| weird is going on.</p> | |
| <p>Here''s a cool thing that will happen with this website sometimes. Every now | |
| and then, we will flip a switch, and that little button that says "2x UPDATE COMBO | |
| WEEK" will appear up there in the corner. This means for that week, Paradox Space | |
| will update with two pages per day. </p> | |
| <p>I know, right? That''s a lot of comics! When the idea for this site was first | |
| conceived, this is something I pictured as a standard for it. Frequently more | |
| than one (or even more than two??) pages per day. I would like to work toward | |
| this being a more common thing for the site. For now though, it will be kind of | |
| a special thing. It will take some time to make that idea sustainable. Posting | |
| ten pages in a week burns through a lot of comics! But as this comic-making process | |
| gets more streamlined, it is my hope that this will occur more often - perhaps | |
| it will even become normal.</p> | |
| <p>Part of "making it sustainable" has to do with cost. In case it was not obvious, | |
| I''m paying all the writers and artists a decent page-rate to make everything | |
| you see here. In fact, this is probably one of the most expensive webcomics to | |
| run for that reason. Usually, a webcomic involves one guy like me, who just makes | |
| a bunch of stuff "for free", puts it up, and whatever the site makes covers server | |
| costs, and some extra for the webcomic guy to live on. This is a much more distributed | |
| production though, involving many people. And that''s fine! At one page per day | |
| we can make that work without a sweat. It''s when you start racking up multiple | |
| pages per day, the costs start getting kooky. So my intention is to work on figuring | |
| that out, to make it sustainable. By optimizing ads, printing books, etc. Your | |
| support, as always, is critical and appreciated.</p> | |
| <p>What is implied here is that I am thinking in the long term with this site, | |
| and expecting it to grow and evolve. Part of that is frequency of the content. | |
| The other part is nature of the content. I spoke of what kind of comics to expect | |
| here in my initial spiel, but I think I can simplify it further.</p> | |
| <p>It seems to me there will be two types of content this site runs. The funny | |
| and gaggy kind, like the one my pal <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140521150512/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/"> | |
| KC Green</a> did a couple weeks ago, and the one running currently by the very | |
| funny <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140521150512/http://www.gastrophobia.com/"> | |
| David McGuire</a>. These are comics full of laffs, but quite obviously have no | |
| relation to canon events. Then there is the more "substantive" kind, which conceivably | |
| could have taken place in canon, and contribute a little more to your understanding | |
| of the characters and the story overall. The Flarp story last week by Benito and | |
| Kristin I think fits this description. Sure seems like that arc could have happened | |
| in canon, doesn''t it? If that is what you would like to believe, you will get | |
| no argument from me. Eridan getting owned is ALWAYS plausible, the end.</p> | |
| <p>My sense is that as this comic goes along, the latter type of content will | |
| be more exciting to the audience. Chuckles are always great, but "substantive" | |
| elaboration on the characters and universe are understandably seen as more rewarding. | |
| So I will try to nudge production in that direction. Again, it''ll take some time | |
| to make that a fully sustainable idea. I can''t just snap my fingers and expect | |
| other writers to have the comprehensive understanding of all this nonsense that | |
| I have. It''ll take a while to get there. But I am patient. I am also confident | |
| that the creative people behind this operation will keep putting out good comics, | |
| and that this site will continue evolving into something you will find more rewarding | |
| to visit with each passing month.</p> | |
| <p>Now let''s all kick back, relax, and google some horse memes.</p> | |
| <p>Edit: Whoaaa. Those are all HORRIBLE. Let''s forget I suggested that idea!</p> | |

| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well-- I suppose this would be a good time to introduce myself! My name | |
| is Matt Hink- as the fourth member of the Paradox Space team, I am the resident | |
| web developer and in fact, all-round technical guy for the site. A significant | |
| portion of my job is taking the (often somewhat unhinged) ideas that the rest | |
| of the team has and turn them into a functioning website. As some of you may | |
| have noticed, this is generally easier said than done. Websites can often be distinctly | |
| recalcitrant.</p> | |
| <p>The remainder of my job is attempting not to cry as Tauhid, Kory, and Rachel | |
| find ways to misuse the site. I am not particularly good at this. My beard is | |
| stained with tears.</p> | |
| <p>Anyways, circumstances like last night''s outage are likely the only time you''ll | |
| hear from me, as the rest of the team is much better than I am at saying words | |
| to people. But you can rest assured that I am constantly behind the scenes keeping | |
| a wary and at times paranoid eye over the Paradox Space server(s).</p> | |
| <p>And now, a few fun facts.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? During launch, our rate of requests peaked at around 3500 requests | |
| per minute, meaning that <strong>every second</strong>, about 58 users were accessing | |
| the site. Happily, the wave of the Homestuck fandom didn''t even come close to | |
| knocking us over. Since then, we''re down to about 200-300 requests per minute | |
| over the course of the day.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The 404 (File Not Found) and 500 (Internal Server Error) images | |
| were drawn by KC Green and Shad Andrews, respectively.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The final pre-launch touches to Paradox Space were made 4 minutes | |
| and 13 seconds before 4:13 on 04/13?</p> | |
| <p>Well, now you do.</p> | |
| <p>Couple notes of recognition: thanks to everyone who''s emailed in bug reports | |
| to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/mailto:issues@paradoxspace.com">issues@paradoxspace.com</a>- | |
| I do read them and generally take them into account. I''d also like to thank | |
| everyone who''s sent in encouraging emails to the team- I have this massive amount | |
| of respect for Rachel, Kory, and Tauhid, who constantly bust their rumps to make | |
| great stuff for you guys.</p> | |
| <p>P.S. To whoever it was on Tumblr that discovered the Swedish translation of | |
| my last name, thanks a WHOLE lot. My co-workers found out about it and now they | |
| won''t stop calling me "bucket". :(</p> | |

| </p><p>So, we''ve been receiving reports from several users having issues accessing | |
| Paradox Space- specifically, that they simply cannot connect to the site whatsoever. We''ve | |
| gotten in touch with our hosting provider, but they need a bit more information | |
| about the issue in order to get things working. If you''re having problems accessing | |
| the site, <em>please</em> email us at issues@paradoxspace.com so we can get a | |
| few details from you, and we''ll get the situation resolved as quickly as possible. Many | |
| thanks to the readers who have already brought this to our attention!</p> | |
| <p>(I am also not oblivious to the irony of posting about issues accessing the | |
| site on the site itself. If you know anyone having problems with the site, please | |

| </p><p>Hey all! </p> | |
| <p>As you might have heard from <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160109235019/http://www.mspaintadventures.com/">the | |
| latest newspost</a>, PXS will be taking a hiatus starting today! Keep an eye out | |
| here and on MSPA for news as it occurs. (Speaking of which, if you haven''t seen | |
| <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160109235019/https://twitter.com/pxscomics/status/585199014221651970">this | |
| teaser</a> yet, now''s the time to see it and get excited!) In the meantime, we''d | |
| like to thank each and every one of you who''ve supported us during this past | |
| year. It''s been a new experience for all of us, and we''re so grateful you came | |
| along with us on this weird little journey!</p> | |
| <p>From myself personally, I''d like to extend an extra thanks to everyone we''ve | |
| worked with--especially my coworkers, the other editors of PXS, who are hardworking, | |
| tireless, and lovely. I''d also like to thank all the visual artists, writers, | |
| designers, and other freelancers we''ve worked with, who have sweat blood for | |
| what are objectively very silly stories, and to whom I could not be more grateful | |
| or appreciative. Working with, as they say, "creatives" is my favorite part of | |
| the job and I feel very humbled and lucky to have worked with you all!</p> | |
| <p>Happy 413, everyone. :)</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |

| <p>One not-totally-intentional side effect to Paradox Space is that we''re exposing | |
| a lot of people to artists and writers they might not have known otherwise. We | |
| really try to work with people whose work we love and admire, which of course | |
| leads to us approaching artists whose work we''ve followed. We do want to bring | |
| totally new artists to you, too; but it''s my hope that you''ll follow at least | |
| one of those author or artist links and find a new love. Homestuck is great, but | |
| there''s so much more out there too!</p> | |

| </p><p>It''s my turn to make a news post! I''m Kory Bing, and I''m the Managing | |
| Editor! That means I ask people if they want to make comics, hire them to make | |
| comics, make sure they make those comics on time, and then let you read those | |
| comics.</p> | |
| <p>We round out our first week of Paradox Space with a comic by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/">KC | |
| Green</a>! You may remember this Zoo from KC''s comic <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://gunshowcomic.com/250">Gunshow</a>, | |
| or maybe <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://horribleville.com/d/20060312.html">another | |
| comic</a>. Don''t go to that zoo, I guess is the moral here. KC also made our | |
| 404 images, which you can find by breaking the site (note: Matt has told me not | |
| to ask you to break the site on purpose I am sorry).</p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed their disappointment that the first week of Paradox | |
| Space did not include their favorite characters, but remember, this was just the | |
| first week! We have loads of plans to feature all your favorite characters. Yes | |
| even that one. Probably. Most likely.</p> | |

| </p><p>Hello hello!</p> | |
| <p>Sorry for the radio silence of late; the PXS team is a pretty small one and | |

| <p>Tag system improvements are still in the works, currently taking a back seat | |

| <p>We''ve had reports of a malicious, hijacking ad. <strong>THIS IS NOT OKAY BY | |
| US.</strong> Sometimes bad ads can get through the ad service we use, much to | |
| our chagrin. If this happens to you, please email issues@paradoxspace.com with | |
| as much information as you can get! This includes the ad itself, where the ad | |
| sent you, what browser you''re using, anything. Thank you! We want this to happen | |
| as little as possible, and that means getting info to the ad service as fast as | |
| we can to get the offending ad axed.</p> | |
| <p>We''ve had some stories from new contributors lately! Big PXS welcomes to <a | |

| </p><p>Hello again. It is me once more. Your owl friend.</p> | |
| <p>It seems that people are starting to take notice of the alt text that is popping | |
| up on some of the comic pages! For those who aren''t familiar, "alt text" comes | |
| from "alternative text." Its original purpose was to describe the image as a sort | |
| of fail-safe, whether that was for blind or visually impaired users, or because | |
| someone had images disabled in their browser, or in case the internet connection | |
| was really bad and couldn''t deal with images. Or whatever.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, alt text has been lovingly misused by webcomics for a long time--<a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://qwantz.com/index.php">Dinosaur | |
| Comics</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://achewood.com/">Achewood</a> | |
| being two great, classic examples. And as you, our loyal readers, have noticed, | |
| we''re using it too!</p> | |
| <p>Not all pages will have alt text. Some pages might not have alt text when they | |
| go up, but it''ll get added in later. Some pages might have alt text when they | |
| go up but then it gets changed or taken down later, perhaps due to members of | |
| the team engaging in a friendly bout of one-upmanship, or an alien takeover, or | |
| attack of conscience. Who knows? </p> | |
| <p>Anyone in the team can write alt text, so you''ll never know who wrote what. | |
| But regardless of who''s writing it, rest assured that all alt-text is non-canon | |
| both for Homestuck canon at large and the specific story as well. This may change, | |
| in which case it will probably be made explicitly clear. But for now, it''s just | |
| for jokes. Japery. Funning. Humor, is what I''m saying. Which I know is not usually | |
| part of the MSPA experience, so brace yourselves.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway today wraps up this story, but there''s another page to come! Of what, | |
| you ask?! Let''s all find out... <em>together.</em></p> | |
| <p>Oh whoops it went up already I thought it was scheduled for later</p> | |
| <p>no one notice this ok</p> | |
| <p>thanks</p> | |

| - author: Matt Hink | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well-- I suppose this would be a good time to introduce myself! My name | |
| is Matt Hink- as the fourth member of the Paradox Space team, I am the resident | |
| web developer and in fact, all-round technical guy for the site. A significant | |
| portion of my job is taking the (often somewhat unhinged) ideas that the rest | |
| of the team has and turn them into a functioning website. As some of you may | |
| have noticed, this is generally easier said than done. Websites can often be distinctly | |
| recalcitrant.</p> | |
| <p>The remainder of my job is attempting not to cry as Tauhid, Kory, and Rachel | |
| find ways to misuse the site. I am not particularly good at this. My beard is | |
| stained with tears.</p> | |
| <p>Anyways, circumstances like last night''s outage are likely the only time you''ll | |
| hear from me, as the rest of the team is much better than I am at saying words | |
| to people. But you can rest assured that I am constantly behind the scenes keeping | |
| a wary and at times paranoid eye over the Paradox Space server(s).</p> | |
| <p>And now, a few fun facts.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? During launch, our rate of requests peaked at around 3500 requests | |
| per minute, meaning that <strong>every second</strong>, about 58 users were accessing | |
| the site. Happily, the wave of the Homestuck fandom didn''t even come close to | |
| knocking us over. Since then, we''re down to about 200-300 requests per minute | |
| over the course of the day.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The 404 (File Not Found) and 500 (Internal Server Error) images | |
| were drawn by KC Green and Shad Andrews, respectively.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The final pre-launch touches to Paradox Space were made 4 minutes | |
| and 13 seconds before 4:13 on 04/13?</p> | |
| <p>Well, now you do.</p> | |
| <p>Couple notes of recognition: thanks to everyone who''s emailed in bug reports | |
| to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140430154248/mailto:issues@paradoxspace.com">issues@paradoxspace.com</a>- | |
| I do read them and generally take them into account. I''d also like to thank | |
| everyone who''s sent in encouraging emails to the team- I have this massive amount | |
| of respect for Rachel, Kory, and Tauhid, who constantly bust their rumps to make | |
| great stuff for you guys.</p> | |
| <p>P.S. To whoever it was on Tumblr that discovered the Swedish translation of | |
| my last name, thanks a WHOLE lot. My co-workers found out about it and now they | |
| won''t stop calling me "bucket". :(</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150303052202/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well hello. It is me, Rachel, your new owl friend. Very nice to meet you.</p> | |
| <p>This week we will be enjoying <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://paradoxspace.com/prototyped/1">"Prototyped,"</a> | |
| from the illustrious Zack Morrison, who--again--creates the fantastic comic <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a>. | |
| When I say we will be enjoying it, I mean we <em>will</em> be enjoying it. If | |
| you do not experience enjoyment please report to your local Paradox Space Re-Education | |
| Center, because there has been a malfunction. </p> | |
| <p>I guess now it is incumbent upon me to answer some questions also! </p> | |
| <p><strong>I have a great idea and/or script and/or drawing! Can I submit it?</strong></p> | |
| <p>I''m sorry, but at present we are not open to submissions, and we have no current | |
| plans to open submissions. You can check out our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://paradoxspace.com/contact_us">contact</a> | |
| page if you are ever curious if we are opening submissions.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Who is drawing the current comic?</strong></p> | |
| <p>You can find this information in several places--on the title page or panel | |
| of the story, on our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/http://paradoxspace.com/stories">stories | |
| page</a>, or on the footer of any image in the story (a recommendation from a | |
| reader!). If you''re going to repost any image from Paradox Space, <strong>please | |
| keep the footer intact.</strong> It''s respectful to the artists and allows people | |
| who see the image but may not be familiar with PXS to find us! </p> | |
| <p><strong>Why is this more John bullshit? John is personally victimizing me.</strong></p> | |
| <p>Oddly, John is an important character in the comic. We, as much as you, relish | |
| the chance that Paradox Space gives us to tell stories from characters who don''t | |
| get as much screen time. Have patience!</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, you are required to enjoy this comic, as it is great. Paranatural is | |
| a comic you should definitely read between Paradox Space updates (we have helpfully | |
| allowed you to keep your weekends free for this activity). Relatedly, "Attack | |
| the Block" is a good movie. </p> | |

| - author: Andrew Hussie | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>And... yep. Went STRAIGHT to the well of juggalo humor, right off the bat. | |
| Were you honestly expecting anything else? Frankly, shame on you if you were.</p> | |
| <p>"Headed for Stardom" is by Jonathan Griffiths. Observe more of his fine work | |
| <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140428200852/http://www.beyondthecanopy.com/" | |
| target="_blank">over here</a>!</p> | |
| <p>Soon I will take a step back from this news section and let other voices emerge. | |
| I''m the stern guardian figure pushing several frightened children on a rickety | |
| little bike, and they''re all nervous as hell. But I''m not. I''m smiling and | |
| beaming with pride as I let go of the bike at the top of a steep hill, which has | |
| a ramp at the bottom that launches over Sadcorpse Canyon. They''re not sure if | |
| they can make it. But I know they can. I know they can. (Also, they''re chained | |
| to the bike.)</p> | |
| <p>Now for a few "frequently asked questions", or as I like to call them, FREQAQUES.</p> | |
| <p><u>Do you have an RSS feed?</u></p> | |
| <p>Yes, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140428200852/http://www.paradoxspace.com/rss.atom" | |
| target="_blank">here it is</a>. </p> | |
| <p><u>Are these comics canon?</u></p> | |
| <p>I think you will have to use your own judgment on that. Sometimes there''s | |
| going to be some truly ridiculous nonsense that could not have possibly happened | |
| in canon. Other times, the events portrayed will at least be plausible, and will | |
| present no contradiction. Does that then mean those events are canon? Hard to | |
| say. A formal ruling here does not seem appropriate. </p> | |
| <p>If you want me to give you some guidelines that are AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE, here | |
| you go. For any given story, it is either "Definitely Not Canon" or "Possibly | |
| Canon". But no story should ever be regarded as "Definitely Canon", unless Homestuck | |
| itself confirms those events retroactively in some manner. Does that make sense??</p> | |
| <p><u>I really want to know about X, but Paradox Space keeps running a lot of | |
| silly shit that isn''t answering my questions about Homestuck.</u></p> | |
| <p>This isn''t frequently asked yet (also, it isn''t a question), but I''m anticipating | |
| the sentiment. Primarily, PS content will involve a lot of silly, funny stories | |
| that feature fun characters saying stupid things to each other and doing funny, | |
| silly things together. Much like Homestuck itself! SOMETIMES, these stories may | |
| brush with topics or events that weren''t fully elaborated on in Homestuck, and | |
| may offer some intriguing insight into what might have happened during certain | |
| unembellished portions of canon. But such stories are not guaranteed to be the | |
| site''s principle offering. Viewing it as an effort to pad out HS by filling all | |
| the holes and answering all the mysteries is not the right way to look at it. | |
| The right way to look at it is to see PS as a funny source of entertainment, where | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>We have a special meal for you this week! That''s right, it''s a Sweet | |
| Bro and Hella Jeff Meowrail Sandwich!</p> | |
| <p>They''re a little more unusual than your garden variety tuna salad so let me | |
| explain. You take two thin slices of SBAHJ bread--not too much or it will become | |
| overwhelming--and between them you put a nice sturdy helping of meowrails. Two | |
| great tastes that taste great together, and need a whole week to be fully enjoyed!</p> | |
| <p>So what I''m saying is we have one page of SBAHJ to start you off, by the illustrious | |
| and hilarious <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625035316/http://kcgreendotcom.com/">KC | |
| Green</a>. KC is a super cool guy and one of the few who really have the chops | |
| to make something SBAHJ without being over the top. Plus, he just started a cool | |
| <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625035316/http://backcomic.com/">comic | |
| called "Back"</a> that he''s making with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625035316/http://nedroid.com/">Anthony | |
| Clark</a>! You should check it out. </p> | |
| <p>In the middle of the week--right now--we have <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625035316/http://poinko.tumblr.com/">Phil | |
| Gibson</a>''s second story, "Hunting Lesson," this one illustrated by the extremely | |
| skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625035316/http://paperseverywhere.tumblr.com/">Adrienne | |
| Garcia</a>, who you may know by the name "paperseverywhere." She came to our attention | |
| with her gorgeous fan art and we were extremely pleased that she had the time | |
| and desire to work with us!</p> | |
| <p>And to round out the week we''ll have one more slice of SBAHJ--but I''ll leave | |
| that mysterious for now. </p> | |
| <p>I''m extremely pleased on a personal level that we finally have a story where | |
| Equius gets to shine. He is my pride and joy, inasmuch as a sweaty, fictional | |
| alien teen can be such a thing. For a while I was trying to think of something | |
| special I could do whenever we had an Equius comic, but I ultimately decided that | |
| I would have to be content with just feeling smug. (Which I do.)</p> | |
| <p>Finally, a small note. PXS is currently looking for <strong>professional freelance | |
| inkers</strong>. We have avoided opening submissions in any way because we''re | |
| more than sure that it would be opening a floodgate we don''t have the time or | |
| energy to deal with. However, in this case, we are counting on you, our perspicacious | |
| audience, to self-select wisely. If you are an experienced artist whose inking | |
| skills are as exemplary as your professionalism, please <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625035316/mailto:rachel@whatpumpkin.com">shoot | |
| me an email</a>. In this email, please include a link to your portfolio (not attached | |
| files), a little about yourself and your level of experience, and any other information | |
| that might be germane to working with you. If you know someone who fulfills these | |
| requirements we would vastly prefer that rather than writing in to us with their | |
| info, you ask them to email us themselves. </p> | |
| <p>Thanks everyone, hope you enjoy your sandwich! There''s also some potato chips | |
| to go with it, and a nice apple, because fruits and veggies are important.</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well hello. It is me, Rachel, your new owl friend. Very nice to meet you.</p> | |
| <p>This week we will be enjoying <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://paradoxspace.com/prototyped/1">"Prototyped,"</a> | |
| from the illustrious Zack Morrison, who--again--creates the fantastic comic <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a>. | |
| When I say we will be enjoying it, I mean we <em>will</em> be enjoying it. If | |
| you do not experience enjoyment please report to your local Paradox Space Re-Education | |
| Center, because there has been a malfunction. </p> | |
| <p>I guess now it is incumbent upon me to answer some questions also! </p> | |
| <p><strong>I have a great idea and/or script and/or drawing! Can I submit it?</strong></p> | |
| <p>I''m sorry, but at present we are not open to submissions, and we have no current | |
| plans to open submissions. You can check out our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://paradoxspace.com/contact_us">contact</a> | |
| page if you are ever curious if we are opening submissions.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Who is drawing the current comic?</strong></p> | |
| <p>You can find this information in several places--on the title page or panel | |
| of the story, on our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509161952/http://paradoxspace.com/stories">stories | |
| page</a>, or on the footer of any image in the story (a recommendation from a | |
| reader!). If you''re going to repost any image from Paradox Space, <strong>please | |
| keep the footer intact.</strong> It''s respectful to the artists and allows people | |
| who see the image but may not be familiar with PXS to find us! </p> | |
| <p><strong>Why is this more John bullshit? John is personally victimizing me.</strong></p> | |
| <p>Oddly, John is an important character in the comic. We, as much as you, relish | |
| the chance that Paradox Space gives us to tell stories from characters who don''t | |
| get as much screen time. Have patience!</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, you are required to enjoy this comic, as it is great. Paranatural is | |
| a comic you should definitely read between Paradox Space updates (we have helpfully | |
| allowed you to keep your weekends free for this activity). Relatedly, "Attack | |
| the Block" is a good movie. </p> | |

| </p><p>You may have noticed by now that if you squint really hard, there are now | |
| THINGS at the bottom of each comic page. These things have colors and words on | |
| them. This may confuse and alarm you, but these things have a name.</p> | |
| <p>They are called TAGS.</p> | |
| <p>After talking it over in our weekly video calls (during which I usually just | |
| nod sagely while Kory, Rachel, and Tauhid discuss the finer details of comic scheduling | |
| and do Actual Work), we decided that what Paradox Space REALLY NEEDS is another | |
| way for us to insert EVEN MORE hilarious sideline commentary in a website that''s | |
| already packed to the brim with cool stuff.</p> | |
| <p>You''ll notice that there are several types of tags which appear at the bottom | |
| of each page. The colorful tags describe two things: the creator(s) of the comic, | |
| and the characters appearing in the comic. (The Critical Wh8le was granted charactership | |
| in a landslide victory for curmudgeonly sea mammals worldwide.)</p> | |
| <p>The not-colorful tags (I''ve heard they''re called ''desaturated'', but I don''t | |
| approve of that sort of language) are simply other ways for us to make silly and | |
| pointless remarks about comics.</p> | |
| <p>Last, but not least, hiding down below the "Recent Stories" panel is a friendly | |
| button which says TAG CLOUD. Clicking this will make allllllll of the tags (all | |
| of them) in the entire comic appear for your perusal.</p> | |
| <p>Thanks to everyone who''s gotten in touch via issues@paradoxspace.com and questions@paradoxspace.com!</p> | |
| <p>P.S. Stop hammering the paradoxspace.com/413 url. There''s nothing there... | |
| yet.</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |

| <p>I hope you''re enjoying this latest comic! Speaking as a huge fan of Equius, | |

| art is gorgeous! Look at all those darling, sweaty Equius faces. My heart! </p> | |
| <p>We got a great response to our last invitation for writers, but most of the | |
| people writing in were men. We''d really love for others to write in, too, so | |
| please, if you were waiting for a sign, this should be it! If you''re a skilled | |
| writer, especially if you have experience writing for comics, please send me an | |
| email: rachel@whatpumpkin.com. Thank you!</p> | |
| <p>I''m sure you''ve also noticed that our tag system is still not working right. | |

| </p><p>It''s not March, but you know, it seemed like a good time to hang out with | |
| some leprechauns. </p> | |
| <p>Starting today and continuing for the next five weeks, we''ll be exploring | |
| a very green mansion, led by Mister Seven himself. This comic was laid out and | |
| sketched by the incredibly skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141231213525/http://deadwinter.cc/">Allison | |

| by the amazing <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141231213525/http://helvetica.jnwiedle.com/">Jones | |
| Wiedle</a>, whose lettering has been invaluable on past comics, and whose comic | |

| <p>Well! Since we last spoke, you''ve all seen a lot, huh? You saw <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://www.paradoxspace.com/a-fun-day-for-gcat">A | |
| Fun Day For GCAT</a> that was written by me and beautifully drawn by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://www.eiffelart.ca/">Matt | |
| Cummings</a>. Then you saw the exciting, mostly-grey adventure of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://www.paradoxspace.com/quality-time">Quality | |
| Time</a>, which was drawn by the incredible <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://hannibrosh.com/">Hanni | |
| Brosh</a> and written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://mspaintadventures.com/">an | |
| obscure writer you probably haven''t heard of</a>. </p> | |
| <p>And now here we are, together, with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://www.paradoxspace.com/fetch-quest">Fetch | |
| Quest</a>, written by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://poinko.tumblr.com/">Phil | |
| Gibson</a> and drawn by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://www.rice-boy.com/">Evan | |
| Dahm</a>. Evan''s story <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://www.rice-boy.com/see/">Rice | |
| Boy</a> was one of the earliest webcomics I got into, and it''s really beautiful, | |
| as are his other works. I have to admit that I am not current with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://www.rice-boy.com/vattu/">Vattu</a>--ever | |
| since <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140610063729/http://www.rice-boy.com/order/">Order | |
| of Tales</a> my preference has been to wait and buy the books when they come out. | |
| Curling up with a brand new Evan Dahm hardcover knowing it''s all new to you is | |
| an experience to be cherished. But don''t let that stop you reading those stories! | |
| I have it on good authority that my waiting around makes me A Weirdo.</p> | |
| <p>One not-totally-intentional side effect to Paradox Space is that we''re exposing | |
| a lot of people to artists and writers they might not have known otherwise. We | |
| really try to work with people whose work we love and admire, which of course | |
| leads to us approaching artists whose work we''ve followed. We do want to bring | |
| totally new artists to you, too; but it''s my hope that you''ll follow at least | |
| one of those author or artist links and find a new love. Homestuck is great, but | |
| there''s so much more out there too!</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150219055737/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |

| \ like we're answering burning questions, I'll take this time to go ahead a field\ | |
| \ a few.</p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Can I work for What Pumpkin?</strong></p>\n<p>Probably!\ | |
| \ If you want to know my secret, it's been to know these people for something\ | |
| \ like 10 years and spend most of that time learning about and practicing my craft.\ | |
| \ I don't know if that's helpful, though. You could always murder me and take\ | |
| \ my job, but you wouldn't be the first to have tried.</p>\n<p>Far from it...</p>\n\ | |
| <p><strong>\u2022 Does Andrew read these emails?</strong></p>\n<p>Probably not.\ | |
| \ When he's not flying all over the country, or working tirelessly on some project\ | |
| \ or other, he's likely floating, semi-conscious, in his Michael Jackson chamber.\ | |
| \ It does not get wifi. The good news is that I and the others do read your emails.\ | |
| \ We talk about you over cereal and coffee. All good stuff, though. </p>\n<p><strong>\u2022\ | |
| \ I thought some other thing was going to happen, but Paradox Space happened instead!\ | |
| \ Why is that?</strong></p>\n<p>This must be the first time something like this\ | |

| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well-- I suppose this would be a good time to introduce myself! My name | |
| is Matt Hink- as the fourth member of the Paradox Space team, I am the resident | |
| web developer and in fact, all-round technical guy for the site. A significant | |
| portion of my job is taking the (often somewhat unhinged) ideas that the rest | |
| of the team has and turn them into a functioning website. As some of you may | |
| have noticed, this is generally easier said than done. Websites can often be distinctly | |
| recalcitrant.</p> | |
| <p>The remainder of my job is attempting not to cry as Tauhid, Kory, and Rachel | |
| find ways to misuse the site. I am not particularly good at this. My beard is | |
| stained with tears.</p> | |
| <p>Anyways, circumstances like last night''s outage are likely the only time you''ll | |
| hear from me, as the rest of the team is much better than I am at saying words | |
| to people. But you can rest assured that I am constantly behind the scenes keeping | |
| a wary and at times paranoid eye over the Paradox Space server(s).</p> | |
| <p>And now, a few fun facts.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? During launch, our rate of requests peaked at around 3500 requests | |
| per minute, meaning that <strong>every second</strong>, about 58 users were accessing | |
| the site. Happily, the wave of the Homestuck fandom didn''t even come close to | |
| knocking us over. Since then, we''re down to about 200-300 requests per minute | |
| over the course of the day.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The 404 (File Not Found) and 500 (Internal Server Error) images | |
| were drawn by KC Green and Shad Andrews, respectively.</p> | |
| <p>DID YOU KNOW? The final pre-launch touches to Paradox Space were made 4 minutes | |
| and 13 seconds before 4:13 on 04/13?</p> | |
| <p>Well, now you do.</p> | |
| <p>Couple notes of recognition: thanks to everyone who''s emailed in bug reports | |
| to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140515222130/mailto:issues@paradoxspace.com">issues@paradoxspace.com</a>- | |
| I do read them and generally take them into account. I''d also like to thank | |
| everyone who''s sent in encouraging emails to the team- I have this massive amount | |
| of respect for Rachel, Kory, and Tauhid, who constantly bust their rumps to make | |
| great stuff for you guys.</p> | |
| <p>P.S. To whoever it was on Tumblr that discovered the Swedish translation of | |
| my last name, thanks a WHOLE lot. My co-workers found out about it and now they | |
| won''t stop calling me "bucket". :(</p> | |

| or maybe <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140423230534/http://horribleville.com/d/20060312.html">another | |
| comic</a>. Don''t go to that zoo, I guess is the moral here. KC also made our | |
| 404 images, which you can find by breaking the site (note: Matt has told me not | |
| to ask you to break the site on purpose I am sorry).</p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed their disappointment that the first week of Paradox | |
| Space did not include their favorite characters, but remember, this was just the | |
| first week! We have loads of plans to feature all your favorite characters. Yes | |
| even that one. Probably. Most likely.</p> | |

| - author: Rachel | |
| body: '<div class="media-body"> | |
| <p> | |
| </p><p>Well hello. It is me, Rachel, your new owl friend. Very nice to meet you.</p> | |
| <p>This week we will be enjoying <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://paradoxspace.com/prototyped/1">"Prototyped,"</a> | |
| from the illustrious Zack Morrison, who--again--creates the fantastic comic <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a>. | |
| When I say we will be enjoying it, I mean we <em>will</em> be enjoying it. If | |
| you do not experience enjoyment please report to your local Paradox Space Re-Education | |
| Center, because there has been a malfunction. </p> | |
| <p>I guess now it is incumbent upon me to answer some questions also! </p> | |
| <p><strong>I have a great idea and/or script and/or drawing! Can I submit it?</strong></p> | |
| <p>I''m sorry, but at present we are not open to submissions, and we have no current | |
| plans to open submissions. You can check out our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://paradoxspace.com/contact_us">contact</a> | |
| page if you are ever curious if we are opening submissions.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Who is drawing the current comic?</strong></p> | |
| <p>You can find this information in several places--on the title page or panel | |
| of the story, on our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140507120852/http://paradoxspace.com/stories">stories | |
| page</a>, or on the footer of any image in the story (a recommendation from a | |
| reader!). If you''re going to repost any image from Paradox Space, <strong>please | |
| keep the footer intact.</strong> It''s respectful to the artists and allows people | |
| who see the image but may not be familiar with PXS to find us! </p> | |
| <p><strong>Why is this more John bullshit? John is personally victimizing me.</strong></p> | |
| <p>Oddly, John is an important character in the comic. We, as much as you, relish | |
| the chance that Paradox Space gives us to tell stories from characters who don''t | |
| get as much screen time. Have patience!</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, you are required to enjoy this comic, as it is great. Paranatural is | |
| a comic you should definitely read between Paradox Space updates (we have helpfully | |
| allowed you to keep your weekends free for this activity). Relatedly, "Attack | |
| the Block" is a good movie. </p> | |

| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |

| </p><p>Hey again everyone!</p> | |
| <p>I hope you''re enjoying this latest comic! Speaking as a huge fan of Equius, | |
| it''s one of my favorites. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141024091325/http://beyondthecanopy.com/">Jon''s</a> | |
| script is great, and as always <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141024091325/http://pukind.tumblr.com/">Mallory''s</a> | |
| art is gorgeous! Look at all those darling, sweaty Equius faces. My heart! </p> | |
| <p>We got a great response to our last invitation for writers, but most of the | |
| people writing in were men. We''d really love for others to write in, too, so | |
| please, if you were waiting for a sign, this should be it! If you''re a skilled | |
| writer, especially if you have experience writing for comics, please send me an | |
| email: rachel@whatpumpkin.com. Thank you!</p> | |
| <p>I''m sure you''ve also noticed that our tag system is still not working right. | |
| I''m really sorry about that! Our technical guy <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141024091325/https://twitter.com/mhink1103">Matt</a> | |
| has been super busy. Thank you all for your patience and understanding!</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150316042718/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |

| </p><p>We have a special meal for you this week! That''s right, it''s a Sweet | |
| Bro and Hella Jeff Meowrail Sandwich!</p> | |
| <p>They''re a little more unusual than your garden variety tuna salad so let me | |
| explain. You take two thin slices of SBAHJ bread--not too much or it will become | |
| overwhelming--and between them you put a nice sturdy helping of meowrails. Two | |
| great tastes that taste great together, and need a whole week to be fully enjoyed!</p> | |
| <p>So what I''m saying is we have one page of SBAHJ to start you off, by the illustrious | |
| and hilarious <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://kcgreendotcom.com/">KC | |
| Green</a>. KC is a super cool guy and one of the few who really have the chops | |
| to make something SBAHJ without being over the top. Plus, he just started a cool | |
| <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://backcomic.com/">comic | |
| called "Back"</a> that he''s making with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://nedroid.com/">Anthony | |
| Clark</a>! You should check it out. </p> | |
| <p>In the middle of the week--right now--we have <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://poinko.tumblr.com/">Phil | |
| Gibson</a>''s second story, "Hunting Lesson," this one illustrated by the extremely | |
| skilled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/http://paperseverywhere.tumblr.com/">Adrienne | |
| Garcia</a>, who you may know by the name "paperseverywhere." She came to our attention | |
| with her gorgeous fan art and we were extremely pleased that she had the time | |
| and desire to work with us!</p> | |
| <p>And to round out the week we''ll have one more slice of SBAHJ--but I''ll leave | |
| that mysterious for now. </p> | |
| <p>I''m extremely pleased on a personal level that we finally have a story where | |
| Equius gets to shine. He is my pride and joy, inasmuch as a sweaty, fictional | |
| alien teen can be such a thing. For a while I was trying to think of something | |
| special I could do whenever we had an Equius comic, but I ultimately decided that | |
| I would have to be content with just feeling smug. (Which I do.)</p> | |
| <p>Finally, a small note. PXS is currently looking for <strong>professional freelance | |
| inkers</strong>. We have avoided opening submissions in any way because we''re | |
| more than sure that it would be opening a floodgate we don''t have the time or | |
| energy to deal with. However, in this case, we are counting on you, our perspicacious | |
| audience, to self-select wisely. If you are an experienced artist whose inking | |
| skills are as exemplary as your professionalism, please <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140703024346/mailto:rachel@whatpumpkin.com">shoot | |
| me an email</a>. In this email, please include a link to your portfolio (not attached | |
| files), a little about yourself and your level of experience, and any other information | |
| that might be germane to working with you. If you know someone who fulfills these | |
| requirements we would vastly prefer that rather than writing in to us with their | |
| info, you ask them to email us themselves. </p> | |
| <p>Thanks everyone, hope you enjoy your sandwich! There''s also some potato chips | |
| to go with it, and a nice apple, because fruits and veggies are important.</p> | |

| I have it on good authority that my waiting around makes me A Weirdo.</p> | |
| <p>One not-totally-intentional side effect to Paradox Space is that we''re exposing | |
| a lot of people to artists and writers they might not have known otherwise. We | |
| really try to work with people whose work we love and admire, which of course | |
| leads to us approaching artists whose work we''ve followed. We do want to bring | |
| totally new artists to you, too; but it''s my hope that you''ll follow at least | |
| one of those author or artist links and find a new love. Homestuck is great, but | |
| there''s so much more out there too!</p> | |

| </p><p>Hello hello!</p> | |
| <p>Sorry for the radio silence of late; the PXS team is a pretty small one and | |
| we''ve all been extra busy lately! We appreciate your patience. :)</p> | |
| <p>Tag system improvements are still in the works, currently taking a back seat | |
| to longer-term and larger-scale technical stuff that should improve both the performance | |
| of both PXS and MSPA itself. Sorry about that; I know the tags are often a bit | |
| off! </p> | |
| <p>We''ve had reports of a malicious, hijacking ad. <strong>THIS IS NOT OKAY BY | |
| US.</strong> Sometimes bad ads can get through the ad service we use, much to | |
| our chagrin. If this happens to you, please email issues@paradoxspace.com with | |
| as much information as you can get! This includes the ad itself, where the ad | |
| sent you, what browser you''re using, anything. Thank you! We want this to happen | |
| as little as possible, and that means getting info to the ad service as fast as | |
| we can to get the offending ad axed.</p> | |
| <p>We''ve had some stories from new contributors lately! Big PXS welcomes to <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141011051600/http://www.maryborsellino.com/mary/">Mary | |
| Borsellino</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141011051600/http://www.monster-pulse.com/">Magnolia | |
| Porter</a>! Thanks for being a part of this little experiment!</p> | |
| <p>We are still going through some of the portfolios that we''ve been linked, | |
| both for writers and inkers. We may soon be looking for colorists; keep an eye | |
| on this space, and get your portfolios ready! </p> | |
| <p>Thanks everyone; have a great weekend!</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141216053827/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |

| </p><p>Hello again. It is me once more. Your owl friend.</p> | |
| <p>It seems that people are starting to take notice of the alt text that is popping | |
| up on some of the comic pages! For those who aren''t familiar, "alt text" comes | |
| from "alternative text." Its original purpose was to describe the image as a sort | |
| of fail-safe, whether that was for blind or visually impaired users, or because | |
| someone had images disabled in their browser, or in case the internet connection | |
| was really bad and couldn''t deal with images. Or whatever.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway, alt text has been lovingly misused by webcomics for a long time--<a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140521150512/http://qwantz.com/index.php">Dinosaur | |
| Comics</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140521150512/http://achewood.com/">Achewood</a> | |
| being two great, classic examples. And as you, our loyal readers, have noticed, | |
| we''re using it too!</p> | |
| <p>Not all pages will have alt text. Some pages might not have alt text when they | |
| go up, but it''ll get added in later. Some pages might have alt text when they | |
| go up but then it gets changed or taken down later, perhaps due to members of | |
| the team engaging in a friendly bout of one-upmanship, or an alien takeover, or | |
| attack of conscience. Who knows? </p> | |
| <p>Anyone in the team can write alt text, so you''ll never know who wrote what. | |
| But regardless of who''s writing it, rest assured that all alt-text is non-canon | |
| both for Homestuck canon at large and the specific story as well. This may change, | |
| in which case it will probably be made explicitly clear. But for now, it''s just | |
| for jokes. Japery. Funning. Humor, is what I''m saying. Which I know is not usually | |
| part of the MSPA experience, so brace yourselves.</p> | |
| <p>Anyway today wraps up this story, but there''s another page to come! Of what, | |
| you ask?! Let''s all find out... <em>together.</em></p> | |
| <p>Oh whoops it went up already I thought it was scheduled for later</p> | |
| <p>no one notice this ok</p> | |
| <p>thanks</p> | |

| <p> | |
| </p><p>Hello again my friends. Welcome to the weekend! Have you caught up on <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140430154248/http://paranatural.net/">Paranatural</a> | |
| yet? </p> | |
| <p>It seems I have a few small issues to address! It is raining here and therefore | |
| the title to this post is appropriate and funny (you are not required to laugh). | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed severe negative reactions to Karkat''s having a | |
| pink tongue in this comic. For reference, I''ve come up with a series of exploratory | |
| questions one can ask oneself to figure out whether an issue in a comic is one | |
| that''s worth fretting over.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this something that is important to canon?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Karkat''s blood color would be an important thing, and would be a big mistake | |
| if we got it wrong! Karkat''s tongue color, on the other hand, has not been mentioned | |
| in canon. We can assume that unless tongue color turns out to be an extremely | |
| important part of beating Lord English, it is probably not important at all. </p> | |
| <p><strong>Is this important to the story being told?</strong></p> | |
| <p>Sometimes things that aren''t important to canon can be important to the small | |
| stories that we tell. But since Karkat''s tongue hasn''t been important (yet?!) | |
| in this story, it''s probably not important at all.</p> | |
| <p>I don''t want to make light of small quibbles! (Okay, I do, but not too much.) | |
| I understand that canon adherence is really important to some people. But that''s | |
| not what we''re really about here. If you''re looking for information, the <a | |
| href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140430154248/http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck">Homestuck | |
| wiki</a> is remarkably well-kept by its very dedicated caretakers. (In fact, so | |
| well-kept that we often use it to check our stories and refresh our memories.) | |
| But Paradox Space is going to generally be much more about telling stories than | |
| it is about canonicity. </p> | |
| <p>I''m also aware that there''s been some dismay that no stories yet have reached | |
| the full depth of emotion that Homestuck itself has. To this I''m sort of forced | |
| to say, Well, duh. So far we''ve been telling short, lighthearted stories. Homestuck | |
| has literally thousands of pages to move smoothly (or sometimes not that smoothly) | |
| between emotional gears; our longest story so far is this seven-page one that''s | |
| running! We do have some more serious stories in the works, and we do want to | |
| reach more emotional range, but the only way we can even try for that is because | |
| we''re working with established characters in an established universe. What it | |
| boils down to, I guess, is please have patience and trust us!</p> | |
| <p>Another thing I''ve heard pretty repetitively has been <strong>Oooh! I know | |
| where this story is going!</strong> And again I find myself forced to say--Well, | |
| duh. Predicting where a story is going when it''s told at this pace isn''t truly | |
| that hard. I hope that what you enjoy is the telling of it, rather than just the | |
| prediction of where it''s going. As always, serial readers find themselves in | |
| a very different position than archival readers. </p> | |
| <p>Two more things to address: One, we''re still getting lots of people writing | |
| in and asking how they can work with us. <strong>Right now, you can''t. If we''re | |
| interested in working together, we will come to you.</strong> I know that it''s | |
| taught, especially in art schools, that there''s no harm in being confident and | |
| putting yourself out there--but for us, right now, it''s truly more annoying than | |
| it is helpful. If we''re looking for artists, we''ll let you know, I promise! | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Two, dear, sweet, precious, sweet, sweet, readers. If you''re asking <strong>Why | |
| aren''t we talking about this?!</strong> or <strong>Has anyone else seen this?!</strong> | |
| I can assure you on both counts that people have seen it and are talking about | |
| it. In every single instance I have seen of those questions, it is so. Perhaps, | |
| dear readers, you need to look around a little better. </p> | |
| <p>If you have any other small questions, in addition to our email, you can shoot | |

| </p><p>It''s my turn to make a news post! I''m Kory Bing, and I''m the Managing | |
| Editor! That means I ask people if they want to make comics, hire them to make | |
| comics, make sure they make those comics on time, and then let you read those | |
| comics.</p> | |
| <p>We round out our first week of Paradox Space with a comic by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://www.gunshowcomic.com/">KC | |
| Green</a>! You may remember this Zoo from KC''s comic <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://gunshowcomic.com/250">Gunshow</a>, | |
| or maybe <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140505234305/http://horribleville.com/d/20060312.html">another | |
| comic</a>. Don''t go to that zoo, I guess is the moral here. KC also made our | |
| 404 images, which you can find by breaking the site (note: Matt has told me not | |
| to ask you to break the site on purpose I am sorry).</p> | |
| <p>Some people have expressed their disappointment that the first week of Paradox | |
| Space did not include their favorite characters, but remember, this was just the | |
| first week! We have loads of plans to feature all your favorite characters. Yes | |
| even that one. Probably. Most likely.</p> | |

| Boy</a> was one of the earliest webcomics I got into, and it''s really beautiful, | |

| since <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625035316/http://www.rice-boy.com/order/">Order | |
| of Tales</a> my preference has been to wait and buy the books when they come out. | |
| Curling up with a brand new Evan Dahm hardcover knowing it''s all new to you is | |
| an experience to be cherished. But don''t let that stop you reading those stories! | |
| I have it on good authority that my waiting around makes me A Weirdo.</p> | |
| <p>One not-totally-intentional side effect to Paradox Space is that we''re exposing | |
| a lot of people to artists and writers they might not have known otherwise. We | |
| really try to work with people whose work we love and admire, which of course | |
| leads to us approaching artists whose work we''ve followed. We do want to bring | |
| totally new artists to you, too; but it''s my hope that you''ll follow at least | |
| one of those author or artist links and find a new love. Homestuck is great, but | |
| there''s so much more out there too!</p> | |

| </p><p>Okay, so the holiday wishes are a bit early, but DAMARA is an extra-spooky | |
| comic especially produced for Halloween, so! Here we are.</p> | |
| <p>You may have noticed that this comic is in black and white! That''s because | |
| DAMARA is an homage to the work of Junji Ito, particularly "TOMIE". If you like | |
| spooky manga, check it out! (You can read DAMARA without reading TOMIE first, | |
| but it may make more sense if you do.) (A note: TOMIE has some mature content, | |
| particularly gore.)</p> | |
| <p>In less-specific news: new contributors!! It''s been a while since our last | |
| news post (not a lot to report, sorry!) but you should be sure to check out the | |
| contributor panel for info and links on our new artists!! DAMARA is inked by the | |
| fantastic Tom Siddell (go read <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150217050440/http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/">Gunnerkrigg | |
