Residence Fastened [Dead]

[PaladinFoster]

Introduction: This is just a little idea I had recently. I hope it works out. No longer text based. I had a little epiphany and decided to use crudely drawn pencil sketches, sort of like doodles from your school textbooks. However, pictures take a backseat to the story and I will sometimes not post them until later, so check often. This is a story half fact and half fan-fiction. It is the story of myself and two friends in the Homestuck universe. Think of it as a giant self-insertion. Note however, I will not be using actual names, just variations on them. Criticism is welcome. I hope you enjoy this shameless and probably slightly tacky fanfic.

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is not his birthday. His birthday was months ago, and this day isn't different from any other summer day. Except Sburb Beta is released today. The young man is fairly tall, though not over six feet. His curly brown hair reaches to the back of his neck, and no farther, and hides the frame of his glasses and the top half of his ears. His green button-up shirt is his favorite style, with the sleeves rolled up to make it look less formal. It even has his favorite symbol on the front pocket, the fleur de lis. His jeans are slightly worn, mostly from over-use. He never wears shorts. But despite having all these personal preferences in clothing, he still has no name. What will the name of this young man be?

You're pretty certain that it isn't normal for someone to have two names, and that neither of those are yours. You're also pretty certain that it's ridiculous that you've spent 17 years in life and haven't been named. Most people get one when they're thirteen. So that means you must have a name, but you can't remember it. Oh wait, your remember now. You wrote your name on the inside collar of your shirts so you wouldn't forget it again.



There it is.

>Cameron Barker.

Yep, you're pretty certain that's your name. Now that that little identity crisis is averted, what will you do?

For lack of a better thing to do, you examine your BOOKSHELF OF DAUNTING TOMES, all caps for epicness. Here you keep all your sweet artifacts of literature. Your collection is as complete as the limited space you have permits, but you think it is pretty damn complete. It has everything from The Lord of the Flies to The Lord of the Rings. You are definitely a bookworm.

But what's this? A high-pitched beep emitted from your shitty laptop? This can only mean one thing. One of your friends is attempting to message you via Pester Chum. As much as you appreachiate socialization, you were kind of in the middle of fondly regarding your BOOKSHELF OF DAUNTING TOMES. What could possibly be so important as to interrupt this fond regarditude?

LG: good afternoon Cameron.
PF: Lizzy.
LG: odd, usually you prefer more extravagant salutations.
LG: did I interrupt you whilst fondly regarding something again?
PF: As a matter of fact, you did.
PF: I was getting on with the sicknasty regarding.
PF: And next thing I know, my laptop is sounding off like it's Fourth of July.
LG: what?
PF: Sorry, I've been playing too much BioShock. I'm starting to quote Atlas at the most random times.
LG: who?
PF: Never mind. So what's up?
LG: have you retrieved your copy of Sburb Beta yet?
PF: No, not yet.
LG: well, would you kindly go do that? i need someone to play with, apparently.
PF: Are you sure you don't know who Atlas is?
LG: i have no idea what you are talking about. you know I don't play videogames.
PF: ....I'll go get that game now, bye.
LG: until we speak again, my friend.

I really like the direction this adventure is heading in. I have a notebook full of notes on characters, some most yet to be introduced, and a general yet flexible idea of how the plot is going to go down. I hope this can be a fun adventure for me and readers. Expect updates every two or three days unless otherwise posted.

Argh, what was I thinking writing this? THIS IS STUPID.
