NOT related to Homestar
Runner. inspired by Henry Darger.
An extremely personal (and often extremely time consuming) body of
work--usually of the creative variety and often extensive/sprawling in its execution--which was intended purely for personal edification, with no apparent intention of the work in-question ever being shared with anyone in any meaningful
way.
The choices, language, idioms, imagery and/or motifs employed are often so deeply personal to the original creator that they have little if any coherent meaning to any other viewer, who is/are likely to only gain access to the
work itself after the creator has died or
gone missing.
My friend has been trying their
hand at automatic writing lately. I snuck a
peak when they weren't looking, and it was completely dargeresque. not a single sentence
made any sense to me, but my friend really seemed to be getting a lot out of it in spite of that.
