Line #19 YMMV/SeventeenThousandSevenHundredSeventySix


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The relaxing smooth jazz accompanying most videos.
2	* BrokenBase:
3	** As you can imagine for such an ... esoteric piece, there were a lot of Jon's normal fans who weren't impressed at all.
4	** A crack in the fandom formed after the Intermission. Is the fact that [[spoiler:humanity simply refuses to enter space or develop space travel due to nothing being out there, despite the amount of time that flew by]], unrealistic and frankly unsettling? Or is it a good way of keeping human interaction with the satellites to a minimum and keep it from their perspective only?
5	** Chapter 20 caused a minor one - Nine had never been referred to by any gender-specific pronoun before then, but Ten calls Nine "she" for the first time in that chapter... and then the author edited it the next day to remove any references to Nine using gendered pronouns. Is it confirmation of Nine's gender, or is it a sign that Ten doesn't quite respect Nine (since she also refers to herself as Nine's ''big'' sister then, contradicting her earlier declaration that she was Nine's ''little'' sister)? Was it simply a slip of the tongue, so to speak, or a mistake by the author?
6	*** In a [[https://www.sbnation.com/2017/7/24/16003968/17776-questions-and-answers follow-up Q&A article]] Bois stated that the pronoun was a mistake, that Nine was presently non-binary but could change as Nine slowly discovers their humanity.
7	* CrazyIsCool: One football player runs into a tornado ''on purpose.'' Justified in that nobody can die. Also, she seems pretty calm and relaxed in person.
8	* EnsembleDarkhorse: While Hubble only appeared for one chapter and a few lines, he got himself a decent share of fanart for it.
9	* FriendlyFandoms: Near ''instantaneously'' after its first few days of release, it formed a close bond with the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fandom due to being a strange web story revolving around ColorCodedCharacters. Juice is also a dead ringer for Dave Strider.
10	* HarsherInHindsight: One of the first things Nine asks after being able to use quantum communication was if Music/SteelyDan was still together. The band's guitarist and co-leader Walter Becker would die months after the story's publication.
11	* HilariousInHindsight:
12	** The fact that the probes gained sentience through radio waves sent by humans is this when [[http://abc13.com/science/nasa-wants-to-beam-your-message-into-space/2278825/ NASA actually did launch a program to have someone's message be broadcasted to the voyager probe.]]
13	** The fact that Juice uses yellow text, is the wackier one of their group, and has an unnatural fascination with sports brings to mind [[Anime/OsomatsuSan a certain baseball-loving Matsuno brother]]. (The fact that Jyushimatsu also has "Juicy" as a nickname among his fans helps.)
14	* ItsShortSoItSucks: Many fans feel like the story could've been explored for much longer than ten days.
15	* ItWasHisSled: It's ''very'' easy to have TheReveal that the main characters are space probes spoiled - the main page outright shows tiny shots of all three of them, as well as a close-up of Nine.
16	* MemeticMutation:
17	** "Is this the new ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The numerous similarities between the two stories, as mentioned above, have led to many comments calling attention to this.[[/labelnote]]
18	** Juice's love for Lunchables.[[labelnote:Explanation]]He goes on a lengthy rant about how sad it is that they've disappeared in the story's present-day, continuing throughout an entire chapter. It quickly caught on in the fandom.[[/labelnote]]
19	* MisaimedFandom:
20	** ''17776'' was hit with it pretty hard when it first came out. Like much of Bois' work it uses sports as satire to examine the lack of safety in real-world football and how players have gotten hurt due to it, the chronic flaws of American culture, and on mankind's pursuit of play once work becomes unnecessary [[spoiler: or undesired]]. However, due to many people being drawn in for the narrative presentation and comedy, it was read mostly for the satellites and their antics and not the satire. Some people went so far as to ask ''why'' football is at the center of the story and why the world isn't being built more.
21	** ''20020'' in part is a response to the MisaimedFandom ''17776'' developed that bridges the gap between what fans took from it and the more focused satire, being a far more meandering story, often filled with diversions with exploring the world and history, with the Bowl Game used as a persistent touchstone more than the primary narrative thread.
22	* TheWoobie: Nine, who starts the story depressed and without identity, and still holds on to that lack of self-security even after they're rescued from seclusion.
