Wait, so Hussie started to write a story about a few kids who traveled into a book and had snarky adventures? I would read this.

Holy SHIT this update is foreshadowing something HUGE.
Terrible meta-Potter fanfiction? Because that's what I'm seeing.

Who wants to bet that the comic sans parts were written when Roxy was far past drunk instead of merely hammered?

I don't think you understand how DAMN IMPORTANT this is

I mean come ON

No, two kids who travelled into a fanfiction, I think.

I am going to start a kickstarter to start a petition to ask Hussie to write this thing for serious.

Is there anything like this written already? "Meta character fan fiction"?

With better writing? lol It seems like a fun idea.

How would you even do that?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Let's dig around a little in this forshadowing.
The characters are trapped in a terribad fanfic, which proceeds unfazed from their intentions and actions. They have decided to go through with it, but probably will try to BR8K OUT later.
This is appliable to every being in paradox space that has any insight in the path of the alpha-timeline.
To achieve a victory that even counts as a victory, the kids will have to break the multiverse, I think.

The fanfic contains a major character derailement, turning a friend, "Grant" into big bad "Marlevort". The cherubs come to mind here, but also Meenah <--> Condesce, especially since Malefiz is a lot more ambivalent and scheming than LE ever was. Condy might be proposing a similiar deal.
 
We may also see some allusion to void powers here... there are two levels of reality in this wizard story, the fanfic and the snarky protagonists. It feels a little schizophrenic at first. The imaginary reader of the fanfic would only see comic sans and typos, while the actual reader(well, us, since Roxy's fic only exists as it exists in Homestuck) sees the characters struggling... what if Roxy could hide the second level, making everything seemingly run as it should while in truth wizards run amok with handguns?

EDIT: UPDATE!
 haha, I won't even try and interprete THAT.

Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean the actual, varied, serious condition that is schizophrenia, but more the common view at it as a dissociation of the self, etc.

At first I thought this was Roxy writing a "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" to her mother's crazy wizard stories, but now I just don't even fucking know.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

If I squint real hard, I can almost see some self-parody from Hussie in there.

I am now attempting to anagram every character.

The only thing we know for sure is that it is not going to be an anagram.... or do we?

Protectors of the Plot Continuum is vaguely like this. Basically, agents going into shitty fanfiction and taking out Mary Sues.
