> What is this?
This is a project brought to you by 14 different artists and its organizer, Joyfulldreams, to keep the tradition of custom Homestuck calendars alive a little longer!
The theme for 2026 is Homestuck: Acts 1-5. The calendar is a highlight reel of the first half of the comic, featuring pieces that will have you reliving the experience of reading the comic as the year goes by! The front and back covers are a pair of stunning pieces that represent the finale of Act 5, [S] Cascade.
> What's in it?
Aside from the art pieces, the calendar portion emulates the style of the old ForFansByFans calendars. Various Homestuck-related anniversaries, character birthdays, and other relevant dates are noted. Additionally, it attempts to be inclusive of holidays and important dates from countries and cultures around the world: It includes noteworthy dates for the USA, Canada, the UK/Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, the EU, and more -- as well as Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu holidays and holy days.
If you feel like we've missed anything, please let us know so we can include it in next year's calendar!
> How do I get one?
You can purchase a physical copy of the calendar on this website and have it shipped to you worldwide! They can be shipped to any country where it is legal to send mail via the USPS (which is most of them). Pre-orders for the 2026 calendar will open on October 1st, and will close on November 16th. Pre-orders will be mailed out the following week to hopefully arrive at their destination before Christmas!
After pre-orders close, there will be a certain amount of overstock up for grabs which will be mailed later. We can't guarantee any orders made after pre-orders close will arrive before the new year.
A free, digital version of the calendar is available here. Or, alternatively, you can purchase a print-ready pdf of the calendar for a minimum of $1.00 USD, and have it printed yourself locally!
Please note: The free digital version of the calendar is not optimized for print. The print-ready version has the images processed and formatted in such a way that any print shop will be able to take that file and turn it into a sleek calendar with proper colors. Additionally, the image processing on the print-ready calendar renders most of the art pieces not optimal for digital viewing, which is why they are separate.
> Do I HAVE to use Stripe?
If you're able to use the Stripe checkout to make your purchase, that is very much the preferred method. Stripe allows you to use a credit or debit card, Link, CashApp, ApplePay, and GooglePay (depending on your region, device, and browser). However, if none of that works for you, it's possible to use Paypal instead on an individual basis. Please send an email to [email protected] if you're interested in making an alternative purchase.
> What's FRAF?
FRAF stands for Fruity Rumpus Asshole Factory, and it's a collective of fan creators which have been granted an official license to monetize their fanworks by Andrew Hussie and the Homestuck Independent Creative Union, or HICU. The calendar project is a member of FRAF and thus has an official license!
While this is exciting, let it be clear that as the calendar does not operate through the FRAF website or store, ALL profits from calendar sales still go directly to the artists and organizer. Nonetheless, there is a link to the FRAF website on the left of this page's top banner if you want to check that out! There's a forum, don't you know?
