* CharlieAndTheChocolateParody - The original idea for the story, ''Calliope and the Update Factory'', was to be this. Though, later fics moved away from the premise, and by the fifth (apparently) story idea there are little to no ''Chocolate Factory'' elements left.
-->In it, Hussie's role would have been exagerrated to feature an "Update Factory" where Homestuck is produced... and you can already see where this is going. John falls down into a river of cake, Rose becomes a "grimberry", Jade is teleported to a landfill by Bec and Dave is shrunk via spacebending powers, etc.

** The beta kids vary between different chumhandles (though, Rose prefers to just add numbers to hers), because those keep getting taken by different people.
** The trolls each have their own misspelling, which they stick to consistently.
** Calliope and Caliborn have come up with entirely distinct chumhandles fitting the UU pattern.
** Then there's [=MeAndMyReflection=], who misspells because she is not a native English speaker.

...Yup, [[FanFic/PortalThe4thMillenniumFranchise yet another]] [[FanFic/ITSMYLIFEExpandedUniverse shared universe]] by [=ASBusinessMagnet=]. What else is new?

Calliope and Caliborn are your average InnocentAliens who are pretty much hospitalized on Earth. Lately, however, people keep referring to them as "cosplayers" of "Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}". The weird goes up when four close friends move into the same town as them, and are identified as more "cosplayers", and the six immediately get the attention of Creator/AndrewHussie, who formally introduces them to ''Homestuck''...
