Summary
Homestuck is a flawed comic. It's far too long and bloated for its ideas to shine through, its creator is a smug asshole, and it's genuinely kind of infuriating at times with how needlessly convoluted it is. It's not without its merits, but those merits are obscured by its flaws, for me anyway.
But what if they weren't?
What if we started Homestuck from the beginning, with the hindsight decide which ideas were most imporant? What if we cut everything that only served to waste time, touched up the characters so their personalities can thrive and arcs can progress, reworked the plot from the ground up?
That is what I'm hoping to accomplish here.
Welcome to Homestuck Rewritten.

Summary
Dream-sharing: a highly illegal little industry in which agents delve into people's dreams, and unearth their deepest secrets and memories.
Within this business, the Strider-Lalondes are known as the best there is — until Dirk Strider gets his fool-ass trapped within the confines of his own subconscious, with his Auto-Responder playing malicious prison warden.
To save him, the best and brightest dreamers in the world will have to form a team. Backed by the token rich friend, lead by the surliest extractor ever bribed out of retirement, haunted by the shade of the latest, greatest agent in the biz, and on the run through a dangerous tiered dream in a hostile mind... It's going to take a miracle to pull this one off.
