Writing team

was created by writer and artist Andrew Hussie, and initially the entire webcomic was his solo creative project. While Jailbreak, Bard Quest, Problem Sleuth and Homestuck were authored solely by Hussie, as Homestuck's spin-offs have expanded into other media and canons, various external writers have been brought in to work on these projects, often working to a loose outline penned by Hussie. These writers have generally been either employed by Homestuck media company What Pumpkin, or else are brought on as independent contractors, and are often recruited from the MSPA fan community.

This page lists members of the MSPA/Homestuck media writing team by the projects that they worked on.

Jailbreak, Bard Quest, Problem Sleuth, Homestuck, Ryanquest
The initial run of MSPA webcomics, including the short comic Ryanquest, were penned wholly and illustrated primarily by Andrew Hussie. On occasion, contributions were taken from an art team during the latter half of Homestuck's lifespan. Music on [S]  pages was provided by Homestuck music team members.

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff
The web-published Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff comics were written and drawn by Hussie, later working in character as Homestuck character Dave Strider.

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff and the Quest for the Missing Spoon was a collaborative project, with writing split between Hussie and twitter personality dril. Artist KC Green also collaborated with Hussie on the artwork.
