Heh, I never really got involved in fandom beyond lurking around fandom_wank for the lulz until I read Homestuck. Then I somehow wound up haunting the kink meme and then writing a fanfic, and now I can't stop? Addiction is powerful thing.
I guess if there actually gets to be a confirmed team, we can be awkward newbies together. The memos are lots of fun, although writing pesterlog stuff is a completely different kind of thing from the prose (or at least I found it to be, at first). And there's also the memos with current/future Karkat on the asteroid in act 6 to work with too, and I've always thought the idea of transuniversal memos with Karkats from doomed timelines and such also had a lot of potential.
