At first I was just going to correct the URL (previous editor changed it to a link to a similarly-named but unrelated fanventure), but then I realized the tumblr blogs had gone down at some point. I don't know how extensive the Wayback archive for the betastuck url is.

[[spoiler:http://areyounext.
The original Tumblr has since gone down. However, parts remain on Wayback Machine [[https://web.archive.org/web/20160621193029/http://betastuck.tumblr.com]]com:80/ here]].

Another part of the AU was located at the Tumblr URL areyounext, under the password "betatesters". Unfortunately, that blog was deleted (presumably at the same time as the betastuck blog proper), and Wayback Machine never captured it. [[note]]The username has since been taken up by a spambot dedicated to various recipes.[[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

Betastuck is a Homestuck {{Alternate Universe}} fanfic where everyone is human and the events of Homestuck all took place in an immersive virtual reality game. Sixteen players are chosen to betatest it and are assigned a character at random. But while playing the game, they believed that they were the players and now they have to deal with the consequences of what they experienced. [[spoiler:It's just a game]]
