Microsoft Paint Fan Adventures. Dear god, where do I even begin to describe such a website? If you're here, then you're probably already familiar with the chaotic beautiful wild west of creativity and shitpostery that is mspfa.com. To call it a "fanfic site" would be a horrible oversimplification of what it truly is, because I think it goes beyond the confines of homestuck fandom. To me, mspfa.com is a living piece of old internet culture, indie webcomic culture, and above everything, the general attitude of "well, I had a hyperspecific fixation on an idea and nobody said no, and so I just started writing?". In this hellish algorithm-ruled online landscape of the late 2020s, it really stands out as a weird pixelated cube shaped oasis of adults and teens alike creating goofy-as-hell multimedia webcomics that don't adhere to any regular comic standards. Indeed, here live the webcomics that aren't constrained to speech bubbles, and aren't afraid to have tons and tons of *words* in them. This is where long rambling conversations between characters live, and shameless dumps of exposition are welcomed. The fact that the site calls them "Adventures" instead of "Comics" says alot about how much they pretty much feel like their own distinct medium.

I've found that I really enjoy looking for the hidden gems in this space!

Yes- though there are many ongoing works on there that deserve some serious literary praise, alot of them scarcely receive it due to how buried into web they can be. To me, however, that kind of just adds to the thrill of finding them. Discovering a new Adventure I really like always brings me great joy. It has a way of renewing my curiosity about what storytelling can do, and gives me a sense of appreciation for the fellow human being somewhere in the world making it.

So today I was like "well shoot, if I so much to say about some of these, why don't I write it down somewhere? Not only would it help me take in more cool stuff to analyze, but I'm pretty sure it would help someone feel perceived?"
