The Rise and Fall of Hell Park | A Fandom Documentary

Описание: The complete story of Hell Park, the South Park fanfic that became the gold standard... and the fandom war that destroyed it.

Hell Park wasn't just another South Park AU. It was the gold standard. An interactive wevcomic with professional-quality animations, a dedicated team of artists, and a fanbase so passionate that they created their own language. Gregory, Pip, Estella, Tweek, Thomas—characters the show had forgotten, given new life as demons in an ambitious reimagining that captivated thousands.
Then came the ship wars. The accusations. The harassment. And finally... silence.
This documentary tells the complete story of Hell Park—from Wire's first Tumblr posts to the explosive popularity of the Extraballz animations, from the devastating Creek vs Cromas war to the dark years when simply being a Hell Park fan made you a target. And finally, the unexpected 2023 resurgence that proved some stories never truly die.
Whether you read every panel or you're discovering Hell Park for the first time, this is a story about creativity, community, passion, and the price we pay when fandom turns toxic.
