* DoingItForTheArt: More of the writing than the art itself. The art is fairly well below Andrew's skill level but he clearly enjoys writing the story solely for the story.

* AscendedFanon: Andrew has admitted to getting as many plot ideas from the WildMassGuessing on the forums as the user commands themselves. ''Homestuck'' now almost entirely runs on this, since the suggestion boxes have been closed.

** Funnily enough, the grandaddy of these fan [=MSPAs=], Bird Wizard, had a suggestion from Andrew Hussie ("Squawk like an idiot and shit on your desk.") that made it into Homestuck (though the character resisted it).
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: With Adobe pulling the plug on Flash at the end of 2020, the Homestuck website (who was also running the other installments of MSPA) became extremely unstable. But many unofficial archives have been created in order to avert this. A standout example (who have been [[ApprovalOfGod endorsed by Hussie]] and who have already some mentions on the ''Homestuck'' page) is [[https://bambosh.github.io/unofficial-homestuck-collection/ Bamboshu' archive]] who contains basically ''nearly everything'' Hussie ever made, webcomic-wise. It even has the comics he did before starting ''Jailbreak''!

** By his own standards the later half of Act 5 Act 2 of ''Homestuck'' suffered heavily from very sporadic updates and pacing problems. Switching narration over to Doc Scratch was designed to relieve this, and ''that'' started to drag on as well! Seems to have recovered fully with Act 6 however. And it should be said that even during this "slip", he still updated more frequently than normal web comics.

* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: Interesting use. In ''Homestuck'', Andrew planned out the entire process of Sburb, and the end result before even making a single page, but the way the story shows that process is completely improvised. Concepts such as the trolls, the exiles, and the entire Apocalypse were made up more or less on the fly. Applies to the art, as well. Andrew has admitted to creating some character designs shortly before they were introduced, such as the guardians. Andrew admitted the basic story plan for ''Homestuck'' was from the outset: [[CrazyIsCool Make crazy shit up.]] It's worked surprisingly well so far.

Not to hound ypu for details, but trivia like this tends to be historically important.

** MSPA's influence has become so broad that a number of comics with similar formats such as SilentHillPromise and Webcomic/AetheriaEpics have sprung up independently of the forums.
