It is the year 2015, the month November.
Twitter is getting on its legs in mainstream social media, but Tumblr is still by far the most prominent social media platform for fandom. If you need a casual chatting service, you probably use Skype, because Discord barely exists at this point.
Homestuck still has yet to end and is fact in yet another hiatus, the Omegapause. Toby Fox has released an obscure little indie title named Undertale, sparking the sudden skyrocketing of a massive fandom even larger than the monolith that was Homestuck fandom, and which heralds a new association of the term Megalovania with the funny skeleton man and not Vriska Serket.
The scene of fandom drama was in the middle of its transformation into the one we see now, but still wasn't nearly as pervasive.
This post is not about Homestuck, or Undertale, or fandom drama, or Vriska Serket. This post is about a now-twice-defunct social media platform named Natter.
