Summary
Shou had spent a year planning how to take down his father's ridiculous terrorist organization. In the midst of it all, he never considered what would happen in the event that he succeeded.
The world is a lot more complicated without a villain to defeat. Everyone wants Shou to move on, but it's not easy to replace the few people he used to trust with an estranged mother and new friends who have no idea where he came from.
Meanwhile, there’s no shortage of criminals trying to pick up where Claw left off. Between them and a government division set on erasing every esper they find undesirable, has anything even improved?
Perhaps change is more slow and grueling than Shou ever imagined, but everything he did and everything he endured cannot have been for nothing. It just can't.

Summary
My paper seeks to chart the course of Detective Pony. Mentioned briefly in a page or two of Homestuck, it is a palimpsest- a written and drawn over copy of Jeanne Betancourt’s 1998 book. The idea was that a comic character, Dirk Strider, lovingly transformed the book into a ridiculous parody for best friend Jane Crocker’s birthday. In the comic, only the first few pages are displayed, but this included a table of contents page. A fanfiction author was so inspired that they wrote their own imagining of the rest of the book, picking up where Hussie left off. It would later be adapted by another fan into an audiobook and a youtube series, and was explicitly canonized in Homestuck^2. While an extreme case, it does exemplify the interplay between creator and fan, one that is entirely unique to Homestuck. To research, I have several sites where fans congregate and have discussed the importance of Detective Pony, including the fanfiction writer’s personal blog. This tradition is incredibly expansive, so I am using the Detective Pony example as a case study through which to analyse the practice as a whole.

Summary
I liked the Homestuck Epilogues, but they aren't canon, and they make no pretense at being canon. If you're uninterested in taking Andrew Hussie's word for it, maybe you'll take my several thousand ones.
