And if you don't know the Khoo story about how he got started with PA it's pretty amazing.
Andrew has actually managed to make a living off his comic from what I can tell. This was not the case with PA. They had no advertising model and were literally taking donations from their fanbase to feed the till and keep them fed and clothed. They had wives.
Khoo bought them lunch and just went to talk to them one day. They said sure, because FREE FUCKING LUNCH YA'LL. No really.
Khoo started to ask them about their five year plan, their advertising plans, etc., etc. and they just stared blankly. He realized that they had no idea what they were doing, they were just two talented guys who made a genuinely good product, and were living off the scraps of their fans.
So Khoo gave them an offer. He would work for them for a year and if he had earned his keep, he would be paid. If not, it would be free. So he quit his job, joined the PA crew, and the rest is history.
PA as it stands now would not exist without Robert Khoo.

I'd be perfectly content and happy if Homestuck was only a webcomic and book collection and never became a franchise
An animated show and video game adaptation would be incredible though.
so munkus what are your business plans for mspa
are we gonna be charged a buck each to watch the flashes now or what
and will gaia online be brought to justice
What kind of moron would I be to discuss a business plan in public before I was hired?
yeah good thing khoo didn't tell anyone he was planning to take out ads and sell tshirts and posters, gotta keep shit like that under wraps
Clearly we're not thinking on the same level here. I thought you were asking for specifics. "Take out ads and sell merchandise" is not the level of detail of I was thinking.

Khoo appreciation post.
Seriously, thats a pretty big gamble.
Let's be fair, Khoo was a big fan of PA and he knew its potential. It wasn't a huge gamble, it was a huge wager, but when you're dealt a straight flush you go big or go home.

It would be terrifying to see how the Homestuck fandom would look like if it was much bigger, though I wish for Hussie's continued success
I think its hit a critical point about now. The shippers are there, the porn is there, the readers are there, the con goers are there, and the fanworks and appreciation are definitely there. All it can really do at this point is gain more viewership.
