Vast Error

As described on the MSPFA page for the comic, Vast Error is a story that simply has "Twelve trolls play a game." This description is the most minimal way to state what exactly comic is about, and was done intentionally as to keep the mystique and illusion of the actual story alive, as well as to poke fun at the traditional plot of your average Sburbventure. Vast Error is the 2,302 fan adventure created on its host site, Mspaintfanventures (MSPFA), and currently sits at the top of the sites featured adventures list. It started properly on the 25th of March 2013 (3/25/13), though still retains its original arc number of 322 in-universe from its Beta which began on the 22nd of March 2011 (3/22/11) on the, now defunct, MSPA Forums. The story contains foul language, violence, gore, and other adult themes. The comic only recieved 1-3 updates per year due to personal reasons until the 18th of December 2016 (12/18/16) when it began to update regularly thanks to help from its newly formed team. The comic was fully planned during this extensive hiatus and went through an extreme amount of changes from its original concept. It is still currently running and is on Act 2 at the time of writing.

Vast Error was created by austinado and Sparaze and infamously coined in the past as a "deconstruction" or as Austin puts it now; a "deconreconstruction" of its source material, Homestuck. It is heavily inspired by said source material and all it encompasses, most notably the archetypes and themes conveyed through Homestuck, its fantroll community, and the typical fan adventures created for and by that community. The main cast of trolls all being lovingly based on tropes commonly found within characters created by the fanbase.

Besides these and quite a few notable uses of Homestuck's concepts, Vast Error has been stated by its creators to take place within its own contained reality and mythos. With there no real connection to the source material aside from the concepts used within the story proper, and even then with major changes as to their purpose and how they function.
