This is the static source of the website https://homestuck.net, the Homestuck fandom's archive.
Homestuck.net is a static website that serves as an archive for the Homestuck fandom and overall franchise. The archive is composed of a variety of HTML pages that link to audio, video, images, and text that the Homestuck fandom wants to preserve. Homestuck is a webcomic created by Andrew Hussie that was popular during the mid-2010s. The webcomic has a large and active fandom, and the Homestuck.net archive is an effort to preserve and celebrate their creative footprint.
The archive was created by a group of volunteers who are passionate about preservation. It includes fan art, fan fiction, music, cosplay, and other creative works. We welcome contributions from anyone who is interested in helping archive fanworks.

├── LICENSE # License information for the project (it's MIT)This project has no header or footer pages, it's all raw HTML. This has been chosen to make individual html pages usable, but in retrospect it makes things harder to maintain and we should have gone with static site generation (possible approach soon?). For now, if you want to contribute and need to submit a new page, make sure it follows the structure of all other pages.
This project is released under the MIT license, which means you can do whatever you want with it, even create your own fandom archive under your own name. However, please note that all fan content belongs to the original authors to the extent the concept applies to derivative works.
