History Fanfic / SburbGlitchFAQ

--> Let me drop the guillotine blade to the neck of the matter. This is not a walkthrough. ''There are no Sburb walkthroughs.'' And no, it's not because of the procedural generation. - [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/340777/chapters/552316 Preface]]

* ObviousBeta: Sburb in its entirety.

* DarkWorld: The Underworld of each Land, an inside-out HollowEarth occupied by Angels and containing a [[UncannyValley "FAKE"]] version of your own house.

* UncannyValley: InUniverse and out, Saccharine Doppelgangers.

Tropes for the roleplay universe that came from it are [[RolePlay/ReplayValueUniverse here]].

* UnwinnableByMistake: When the game is beaten, there are two options available - accept the Ultimate Reward at the end of the credits, or select the little 'Replay' button in the corner. Sadly, the credits screen always bugs out, making the 'Replay' option the only chooseable one.

* TheMissingno: The "Ohgodwhat", a catchall term for when the Underling spawning mechanics hiccup and place several dozen monsters in [[BodyHorror one horrible Siamese twin body.]]

* EscortMission: Inverted with Miss Taylor, an NPC who can be made to follow you around but is completely defenseless. GGtG notes that Guards and similar classes get massive bonuses for "defending" someone, leading him to the following conclusion:

''Fanfic/{{Sburb Glitch FAQ}}'' is a ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fanfiction that is written as if it were a StrategyGuide, written by a Sburb veteran for Sburb players. The author writes of the many glitches in Sburb, such as the DummiedOut "Clown" title, the unfortunate case of the temporally unglued pumpkins, the [[BonusFeatureFailure Saccharine Doppelganger]], the undocumented InstantDeathRadius around the prototyping towers... and the elephant in the room, why there are Sburb veterans in the first place.

** All of the names of the Hope abilities are shout outs to Music/TheProtomen's songs. (Except Sepulchritude.)

** Although GodsGifttoGrinds himself now regards it as an OldShame.

* DeadFic: The eponymous fic and the forum haven't really been posted on for months, the former due to several reasons including the Admin going missing. As a matter of fact, the board's been taken over by a single person.

** The [[ShadowArchetype Nightmare Heir]] also works this way

** Although trying to fight your Denizen before you're "ready" will usually result in getting swatted out of their lair with one hit point.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Inverted. Heart players have the ability to ''rip your soul out of your chest, make modifications to your personality and then put it back''. The Guide's author finds this power so terrifying he refused to use it or any other Heart ability for the entire session when he rolled Heart.

Contains many, many references to the ''{{Homestuck}}'' soundtrack, extensive worldbuilding, and a subtle subplot about how the narrator himself is trying to deal with the game. It also managed to spawn an extensive list of fanworks, most of which are [[http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Replay%20Value%20AU on AO3]].
