History Webcomic / NepetaQuest2011

The ''Violetescence'' to ''Webcomic/{{Cordless}}'s Fanfic/RedDeadVirgo'', ''Nepetaquest 2011'' is a ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' fanfic by username aceofspudz that manages to be a decent tale in its own right. Abounding with [=OCs=] and characters from canon, it expands upon the Trolls' already complex society and also devotes attention to a much-loved but oft-ignored green-blooded player. The story is considered by a significant portion of the fandom to be the basis of the (theoretical) Homestuck expanded universe; it is well-written and well illustrated, and pays very close attention to what goes on in the source material. Truly worth checking out, whether you're a Homestuck fan or not. Much like its sister fic, ''Cordless'', it became a DeadFic, with the author revealing how the future would have panned out at the end of the last forum thread. However, updates resumed July 2013.

** Takes place before ''{{Cordless}}''

* {{Precursors}}: Aradia's investigating them in true AdventurerArchaeologist style. It seems that the author subscribes to the popular [[spoiler:"the kids create the trolls' universe as well as the other way around"]] theory, judging by the [[MockGuffin true nature]] of the [[SweetBroAndHellaJeff ancient prophecies]].

-->--'''[[MSPaintAdventures Andrew Hussie]]'''

* CleavageWindow: The Alternian female Captain uniform has this, although neither character shown wearing it is well endowed enough to take advantage.

** Ironically, though, this is also the ''last'' page before the story was abandoned.

* FetishFuelStationAttendant: Nezumi's [[spoiler: many anime-inspired personality profiles.]]

* IncrediblyLamePun: Scoria is fond of these.

* MaidOfSexy''/''MaidOfMoe: [[spoiler:Nezumi's maid mode]] has elements of both.

Occasionally from your window you see a group of [[{{LARP}} FLARP]]ers sailing for adventure on the HIGH SEAS. Someday you plan to join them! For now you continue to feel an unnerving sense of restlessness.

!!''FanFic/{{Nepetaquest 2011}}'' has the following tropes:

-->Scoria: This is the greatest day of my life. Look at my ridiculous getup! And my very own my own[[hottip:*:sic (her typing quirk is repeating herself)]] bridge bunnies.

* {{Prequel}}: To [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Hivebent]]. [[hottip:Trv.:Trollian is still in its development stages, so the trolls use Alternian IM. Colony Raiders is all the rage on Alternia and doing excellently in that game decreases the chances of getting culled. Terezi is still able to see, Sollux hasn't gotten the glasses we'd know him by (Scoria probably helped), Aradia is still alive, and Nepeta hasn't moved into her cave hive or gotten her cat cap yet, nor is she involved in a moirallegiance with Equius. Overall, things were different one solar sweep ago.]]

* WordOfDante: Several aspects of troll society detailed in the adventure, such as trolls opening shops in "waystations" or the use of caegars as currency [[hottip:* : Caegars do appear in ''Homestuck'', but since they're based on ancient Roman coins, they may well be inteded to be obsolete]] have been adopted by other fanfiction set on Alternia.

-->'''Zander:''' Lesser races would see an escape pod.

** Terezi is [[http://nixshadow.com/mspfa/?s=185&p=87 quite clearly using an]] [[NeonGenesisEvangelion N-2 mine]], complete with [[CreepyCoolCrosses a crossplosion.]]
