Looking for resources and templates for starting a fan project?
Here's a list of masterlists and resource collections to help.

Masterlists
These probably contain duplicates of content in other masterlists and non-masterlist resources.
The Homestuck Archives
Mirror of the reddit index
Also see https://homestuck.net/resources/
A massive, nearly comprehensive archive of homestuck content maintained by r/homestuck and Makin, including a master collection of fan resources and templates. Also available as a torrent (keep circulating those tapes!)
Includes (but not limited to) Also contains mirrors of other resource collections.

homestuckresources.tumblr.com
A huge collection of fan resources and tutorials from tumblr. Many of these posts lead to dead links, though. Check the masterlist!

Writing/RP/Story resources

HS References File
See a responsive directory version of this tagged and organized on tumblr here.
A regularly-updated google drive folder of character transcripts and interactions, including extra-canon material, categorized by character. Maintained by a Gray Shaffer, aka yellowbloods, aka eridan-ampora.

Homestuck POV cam
A browser extension that lets you navigate the homestuck comic by character instead of linearly. Helps for tracking specific characters and other narrative aspects.

Fan adventure resources

MSPFA
"The fanventure site." Hosts your fan adventures. Traditionally used as a forum mirror so people can read the main posts without scrolling through comments and suggestions, but now commonly used as fanventure hosting.
Remember to always keep backups, and host your images somewhere safe and durable!

Art resources
Homestuck Sprite Palettes
A list of color codes for homestuck sprites and art assets, maintained by foreverFlummoxed.

Music resources
MSPA Sheet Music Index
For your fanmusic needs. Archive maintained by wheals. Mostly scraped from the old MSPA forums.

Game resources

The Spriter's Resource
If you prefer sheets to rips, TSR has many homestuck games, including Alterniabound and Openbound. (Loosely categorized)

Pesterquest Modsuite (shameless plug)
Wish you could make a friendsim-style homestuck visual novel, or even just a small fanroute? Look here!

Hiveswap Fansim Tutorial
A tutorial on making friendsim style material (like above) using ren'py.
personal note: this is no longer the best method, please use Pesterquest Modsuite instead

I'll update this list as I discover more resources. If you know about something great I don't have here, leave a reply!

Well, some of these aren't masterlists per se.
We've got boilerplate, some normal resources, and a few masterlists, so...
It's at least Θ(masterlist²)?

anyway, reserved

The "homestuck archives" link pointed to a reddit wiki page, which was deleted due to some recent unpleasantness. OP now references the new location of those resources, plus an archive.org mirror of the post.
