>Is it canon?
"There is no straightforward answer to this, since the notion of what should be considered canon in a work of fiction is what is being examined, ever since the epilogues brought the topic into the foreground as one of its core themes. By presenting that work as fanfiction, including other authors, and then going even further in that direction with this storyline, the narrative is being explicitly decentralized. It's being pulled further away from direct control by the original author, and allowed to expand into spaces governed by fandom desire - a fanontinuum, you might say. Where the original seven acts of Homestuck were a narrative contained within paradox space, a realm of strict authorial oversight by a single creator, Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon sprawls through this fanontinuum, a realm adhering less to the unilateral vision of one person, and instead thriving on a wide range of input from fans. And yet, the work is still official, since it is being produced by Hussie and What Pumpkin, and therefore is naturally amplified above other fan works. Whether this means the content should qualify as canon to the same extent as preceding material is something for you to reflect on as you read it." -Official FAQ
The ride never ends.
