While Andrew Hussie jokingly announced that all fantrolls are canon, the true canon fan trolls are trolls created by fans that actually appear in Homestuck. The requirement to be canonized was for their creators to donate $10,000 to the Homestuck Adventure Game Kickstarter. Two backers pledged to this reward tier, but unfortunately, neither of them donated $100,000, meaning that their fantrolls were not guaranteed to survive for more than a single panel.
They finally appeared in Hero Mode here and, as expected, lasted for exactly one panel before their entire planet was obliterated by a cherub later revealed to be Caliborn and Calliope's father. Their names, Trollian handles, and other background information were not revealed in-comic. The post-scratch iteration of Earth was shown to be in the same universe as them, relocated there apparently as part of the Condesce's plan to revive the troll race in the universe created in the B2 session. This either suggests the Condesce succeeds with her plan or that in the event of her failure; Kanaya's goal of reviving the troll race if she could get a new matriorb succeeds, and that the relocation of Earth is still carried out without the Condesce, possibly to still serve the same purpose the Condesce had intended for it.

Trivia
- As has been occasionally seen with canon trolls, especially Gamzee, the fan trolls' shirt symbols are considerably brighter than their blood colours. The hue of Nektan's symbol is 300, which matches violet blood; however, Mierfa's hue is 223, which is roughly in the middle of cobalt (210) and indigo (230) blood, with a slight leaning towards the latter.
- Andrew also neglected to draw part of Mierfa's symbol; specifically, there should be two additional "arms" on the sides of the circle. Additionally, Nektan's horn lacks a small protrusion at the tip.
- On 4/14, the panel these trolls showed up in appeared on the updated Homestuck Adventure Map on the MSPA website as one of the various panels you could link directly to in the Act 6 Intermission 5 section.
