Summary
There's obvious Doylist reasons why Duck looks and acts less like a "real" duck than the other animals in the show. She's the relatable audience-viewpoint protagonist; she needs to be cute, appealing, not too inhuman. The other animals, with more naturalistic features, are either ordinary beasts without human intelligence, or they're framed as offputting and unsettling in their bestial forms and habits, as befitting animal bridesgrooms in fairy-tales. Duck can't be a real duck because a real duck is unpalatable, unrelatable; she's the idea of a duck, cute and sanitized.
What if there was a Watsonian reason for that, too?
What if she wasn't a real duck at all?

Summary
What’s wrong with me? Rue cursed inwardly as she leaned forward on the barre to catch her breath. Barely an hour into her practice and already she felt exhausted. Slanted rays of sunlight beamed down into the room like harsh spotlights, burning her skin. Or maybe that was her shame.
The soft gentle melody of Swan Lake continued to play from the gramophone. Rue waited for her heart to slow down then threw herself back into the steps.
Her movements were ugly. Heavy and sluggish, not at all the light graceful elegance required of a swan.
They weren't hers...

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.
