What happened to the slow build and discovery?\n</a></h2></div><div class=\"response-container\"><p>\nWhat's the deal with the phrase \"what's the deal with\"? The deal with it is what you see and read. That's how it is.<br/>\n<br/>\nWere you expecting absolute reversion to earlier story progression rhythms? You were wrong to do so. What is it about this story, this format, or this website which would make you anticipate static, unevolving patterns? Is there criticism and disapproval buried in your question? [Yes.] That's cool. But if you've made it this far, you should now be familiar with the concept of storytelling in a state of perpetual flux. Your observation strikes me as a little obtuse.<br/>\n<br/>\nI believe the reader is well prepared for every shift in the nature of the story's unfolding. There are primers on what to expect along the way. Very early, when we first met Dave, we began a humble exercise in non-linear pacing. Conversations he had with John and Rose, then revisited from an earlier timeframe from his perspective. Some nonlinear revisitations with Jade's story as well. It wasn't just messing around. It established that time was something to be tinkered with in this story, more intensively as we progress. The MC intermission was a primer on complicated time travel dynamics taking center stage in the story. It was a tangent, quite silly and convoluted, but very good preparation for the concepts to follow, which have dominated the story since. The troll arc was a very aggressive primer on completely off the rails nonlinear story progression, which has somewhat extended beyond it into the main story, and will continue to do so. All of these primer concepts are now firing on all cylinders at once. And the word primer is the title of a very complicated time travel movie, which I have not seen yet. I imagine watching it would serve as a decent primer for reading Homestuck.<br/>\n<br/>\nThis is what the story is. There is no \"real story\" I need to \"get back to\" as you imply.\n</p></div><div class=\"meta\"><span class=\"user\">andrewhussie</span>\nresponded\n\n\nOct 15, 2010\n\n\n</div>"
