Weekly Fanstuff

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 14:35, 2 May 2025

This article is about the weekly updated fanstuff which began on January 27, 2004. For the older fan material in the Museum, see Fan Stuff.

Weekly Fanstuff is a collection of fan-submitted Homestar Runner projects and pictures. These were once viewed by clicking on the F button at the top of the Main Pages, and were generally updated on Thursdays from 2004 through late 2009. This hiatus was briefly acknowledged in 2014, but no new fan creations have been shared since October 22, 2009. After the post-Flash site update on the first day of 2021, the button did not work. On April 16, 2025, the button's function was reinstated, but the text says "some fan's stuff". This does not apply to Main Pages 24, 25, 27, 28 or the version of the Homsar Main Page from interview.

Fanstuff could be sent to The Brothers Chaps at their email address, brotherschaps@homestarrunner.com; the fact that the email address is now closed suggests that Fanstuff has been entirely discontinued in favor of @StrongBadActual.

Fun Facts

Trivia

• Prior to November 22, 2004, the image and text were included as part of the fanstuff Flash file.
• The font used in the captions is Bauhaus 93, the same font used on Homsar's shirt.
• The longest hiatus between pop-up updates was exactly five years between October 22 of 2009 and 2014, with the longest overall hiatus being over 11 years since the latter date. During activity, the record was seven weeks between June 21 and August 9, 2007.

Glitches

• Clicking the F button repeatedly while the Fanstuff popup is loading causes the caption to move up in the box. The more times it is clicked, the further the text moves.
