WHYYYYYYY

>Twilight: Look at the Alchemy Excursus.

[invertableQuasar]

Combining all of the above...
>Twilight: Begin to deploy everything except the cruxtruder, then be startled to hear a loud noise behind you. Turn to see that rarity has deployed your cruxtruder. Turn back to notice that in your shock, you have deployed Dash's cruxtruder. Panic.

[Spurs]

Sorry I meant to say "I'm going to throw my vote behind twilight as not to upset the pattern." though its to late now.

I'd only had 12 hours of sleep in the last four days so I wan't functioning quite that well.

anyway,

>Twilight Sparkle: Hear Rarity deploy your cruxtruder. Turn around and see the cruxtruder

im going to third this

[Bohandas]

>Twilight Sparkle: Loudly go on, to nopony in particular, about how there is no such thing as alchemy.

[OnBackorder]

See if you can click Applejack. Move her around and stuff.

[DarkFlame]

I found this story on EQD today and I really love where it's gone so far. It's really complex but still great. Too bad part of your fanon is already destroyed by canon XD.
>Twilight: Use Explore Atheneum

[Grollo]

Twilight: select an apple tree and deploy it somewhere else.

[Biosheep]

Twilight: find out how to deploy apples. Lots of apples. That should make AJ happy.

[flyingBrick]

Look at all these new bronies!

Let's second some suggestions instead of making our own, shall we?

This. Yay, efficiency!

See if you can click Applejack. Move her around and stuff.

Also this. For science.

[Nyremore]

TS: Make futher connections between device and the story in the book.

[JapaneseTeeth]

>TS: Start to deploy everything except the cruxtruder, but be interrupted by Rarity deploying the cruxtruder. Turn around and see the cruxtruder.

I'm seconding this one. Getting everyone in there in one shot.

[gingerale]

> Tagline: Change to "Let me tell you about Hoofstuck."

[pageturner1988]

Hey I forgot to say hello. Hello everypony! \(*o*) This is all unfamiliar territory to me, never having read Homestuck or anything like that. Looking forward to fun times though.

Look at all these new bronies!

I'm completely ignorant of most of what's going on and how this all works so please correct any stupidity on my part. I thought that Violet will choose whatever action they think is best for the story. So it's best to try as many things as possible and see what interesting stuff pops out of Violet's head.

As for not reading Homestuck, no, it's not required, although it would definitely help you understand stuff. And on that other thing, that's exactly the point. For instance, my 'be Lyra' suggestion was used to make things a bit more meta, while advancing the plot a bit. While it wasn't quite what I had envisioned, it was definitely interesting.

Nope, sounds like you've got the idea of things!
(Just try not to suggest too much between updates-Violet's only human, after all. )

[JapaneseTeeth]

Yeah, reading Homestuck for this isn't required, but it'll certainly help you appreciate some of the jokes in this comic more.

*Has been reading Homestuck for a long time but only recently got around to registering*

One thing you could do is go to MSPA's text search archive here and here, search the pages for the phrase "recap " and read the three recaps of the plot of MSPA so far that Andrew Hussie has written. It'll get you up to speed in a much shorter time than actually reading through the comic conventionally.

[JapaneseTeeth]

Of course, on the other hand, actually reading the comic will give you a much better feel for the writing style and sense of humor, as well as give you a better feel for the characters.

On the other other hand, it'll probably take you quite a while to catch up. I just archive binged the whole thing and even though I had already read up to the start of the [o]termission, it still took me like a week and a half to catch up on it.

Be warned though, each one is a veritable wall of text, not to mention you will be missing many of the character interactions, flash animations, and plot in general. It would be most useful as a stopgap while you read the comic proper.

E: Yeah, what Japanese Teeth said.

[AProcrastinatingWriter]

OR alternatively,

You could continue to not read Homestuck if you like. I mean, I think it's pretty good, but I also entirely get why someone else might not want to read it.

We won't hate you for just skipping it and enjoying this story here.

[forkinyoureye]

Anyhoo(f), we should probably stop cluttering the thread with this conversation.

I'm actually switching my vote to Bohandas' suggestion.

>Twilight Sparkle: Loudly go on, to nopony in particular, about how there is no such thing as alchemy.

I had to.

This is also true. But I'd still encourage you to give it a try. There have already been quite a few injokes in Hoofstuck that don't make much sense otherwise.

[nupanick]

Just caught up. This is one of the best crossovers I have ever seen.

The author seems to have thought ahead on how all this time travel shit is going to eventually have been willen worked out, and I laughed out loud when I realized the Hub had taken Skaianet's place in the familiar Sburb symbology.

I then laughed out loud a second time at the suggestion to "decorate ancient ruins." I'm getting so much nostalgia to when I used to make suggestions like that on problem sleuth.

Oh hey look it's my life story again, I should probably just do that thing where I try to come up with a suggestion which is both witty on my part and useful to the writer, or failing that, jump on a bandwagon regarding the best ideas suggested so far.

> TS: Wake Spike. You're going to do science.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I also really like the fanon involving pegasi and floating furniture, and the idea that the wagon has to "think" it's rolling! That has to be the most perfect proposition for the properties of passive pegasus prestidigitation I've heard yet.
