AN IDEA TO STOP HOMESTUCK COMMISSION PROBLEMS WHILE OBEYING COPYRIGHT LAWS: →

How about this. The Homestuck crew has to live off of this comic and it’s revenue. They don’t want people making money off the designs without credit. The fans want to commission things that they can’t make themselves through artists.

How about there be a website where artists can sign up and sell their products, THROUGH WhatPumpkin. You sign up, list your items, and out of every purchase made, a certain percent goes to WhatPumpkin automatically and a certain percent goes to you. Sort of like the art prints in the WP store right now.

Since it would be automatic and user run, there would be no constant e-mails for permission. Sort of like buying a print off deviantART, or something off eBay, where they take a commission. WP wouldn’t have to worry about shipping or logistics, they could just make bank off their fan’s works.

So in the end WhatPumpkin could charge a commission for a percent of all items sold therefore not losing money on their designs, users could sign a terms of service saying they would only sell Homestuck merch there, the fandom could get the cosplay and plushie and art and jewelry commissions they so want, and artists could have a place where everyone could find them, thus expanding their network greatly and eventually getting them even more money.

Everyone wins.

OH MY GOD YES YES YES YES FUCK YES.

It’d be a lot of work, yes, and require legal drafting for things like people who attempt to scam (because I’ve been around long enough to know that this always happens in marketplaces), and it may require things like “you can’t sell certain things that are already being marketed by WP/Topatoco” but this would be WONDERFUL. With such a creative fanbase being inspired to make so much stuff… the great market of stuck-at-home could be the best thing online other than cat videos.

Signal boosting like a mofo; while the OP tagged halftruth and mspandrew… guys it’d be nice if you could try and get this idea around, because this is the single best solution I’ve seen yet to the problem of Homestuck fan merchandise.

I’M DOWN WITH THIS. LET’S DO IT RIGHT NOW. SIGNAL BOOST THE SHIT OUT OF THIS AND MAYBE SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. SERIOUSLY. I WOULD LOVE TO DO THIS. I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS AND I’VE SEEN SO MANY THINGS FANS HAVE MADE THAT I WANT TO THROW MONEY AT. I THROW MONEY AT HUSSIE ALREADY, THIS WOULD JUST MAKE ME THROW MORE MONEY AT HIM.
