STfA - Tumblr Posts
EITHER WAY, no I already shipped it. They have a lot in common and I could see it working in literally any quadrant. I especially like that Calliope disguises herself as a troll because she thinks she is ugly, and I like to think that Eridan wears the march drag to try and distance himself from who he is, and they could bond over their self pity.
In this AU, since Calliope obviously goes out superheroing as Uroboros, her troll alter ego is more of a necessity than just cosmetic appearance. Why she chose that will be delved on in later chapters, along with why she’s part of an anti-superhero unit. But you are right about Eridan’s drag outfits, and that could still be a reason for either of the two to bond regardless of which identity they’re using.
I’ve been really busy lately but finally got to finish f-r-o-thing’s request for a March!Eridan from his Real Men Wear Tights inspired fanfic Superhero, Thanks For Asking. I’m glad you like the concept, Frank! Bio written by Frank and cropped no-helmet view under the cut!

November Comment Challenge
I double dog dare you, Tumblr, to leave some kind of comment on every story you read on AO3 this November.
You don’t have to compose a sonnet, or make offers of marriage, but I challenge you to take the minute of your time required to type one sentence of feedback into the comment field after you’ve read any story you didn’t completely hate, and tell the author something about what your experience of reading their work was. Two or three words is all it takes, if you’re feeling shy – “I liked this” or “This was good”
Something to let the author know that you recognize their efforts, that you are at least on some level aware that they entertained you, or at least kept you occupied for a little while, and that these comments are the only pay you’re ever going to be asked to give up for it. The only pay these authors are going to get. Recognition. From you.
When you think about how many hours of entertainment you get from reading fanfic every week, it’s not so much to pay, really.
So click the comment button. Use your words. Give a fan writer some encouragement to keep doing what they do.
I dare you.
I’ve decided after some thought (but mostly a complete and utter lack of response at all from more than one or two constant readers) to retire from fanfic writing on both AO3 and FF.net. Superhero Thanks For Asking’s next chapter will be my last.
If you’re out there and you’ve read my fanfics, thanks for sticking around in the seats and - more importantly - I’m sorry I wasted your time.
On Leap Day and just in time for third perigee, this chapter has Dauphine and Uroboros sign up to climb the crime-fighting duo echeladder.
Maybe I might get another of my fics updated too? We shall see...
Because we need a proper segue and send off to Homestuck 1.0 ;_;7
