* ApprovalOfGod - Just one day after ''Calliope's Update Girl'' was discontinued, another "''Homestuck'' characters read ''Homestuck''" blog, aptly named [[https://homestuck-reads-homestuck.tumblr.com/ homestuck-reads-homestuck]], popped up. Naturally, [=ASBusinessMagnet=] almost immediately endorsed it.

** A project only known as "hcsgame", which would be a game, done in the style of the ''Homestuck'' walkarounds and ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' (made obvious with the game referencing, but not explicitly having, a genocide route), that would follow ''The Homestuck Character Support Group (Volume 2)'' as Rose reconsiders her options and decides to join Hussie to read ''Homestuck'' again, starting from Act 2, in a fic labeled as ''Calliope's Update Girl: Three is a Crowd but Two is Just Fine''.

*** The continuation of the plot of ''Calliope and the Final Update'', which had two distinct versions: one where the kids are eliminated à la ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'', and one where, after the entirety of the rest of ''Homestuck'' is read, an advertisement for ''Hiveswap'' (except the name "Hiveswap" wasn't known at the time, leading ASBM to nickname it "Spacebound") would show up at the end of ''Homestuck'', Hussie would reassure his guests to play ''Hiveswap'' and everyone would return to their homes as Hussie publishes the final update on 10/25 (which [[IronicEcho was also the date]] both actual ''Homestuck'' and ''Calliope's Update Girl'' ended with the credits and ''Unreleased Stuff'' respectively; though, with 1025 being one of the ArcNumber[=s=] of ''Homestuck'', this is more probable than if it was a random date).

** The plans for the characters to enter two Sburb sessions; one with the trolls (which would just plain reuse the planets they already had created) and one with the kids, Calliope and the six (at the time) fans who had submitted self-inserts, with the Condesce as the supervisor of the troll session and ASBM as the supervisor of the kid session.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen - Oh so many of them in ''Calliope's Update Girl - Unreleased Stuff''.
** While the intention with the series was still to follow the ''Homestuck'' characters reading ''Homestuck'' and had not devolved into a plot with the Condesce, ASBM had planned out how ''the entirety of Homestuck'' would be divided amongst Calliope's Update Girl books and "leaflets", which match up with ''Homestuck''[='s=] acts and intermissions, except when acts (such as Act 5 Act 2) are simply too long, in which case those are further subdivided into parts.
** Loading Screen 2, which would feature more backstory on the trolls and reveal where all of them live.
** A ''Calliope's Update Girl'' thread on the MSPA Forums, which, even if it did happen, wouldn't be available now for obvious reasons.
** ASBM's AndImTheQueenOfSheba statement was not in its original form.
** Calliope moving out, which puts Caliborn in trouble, as she was the one supporting the household.

** There being more than two memo titles for the memos that the kids, the trolls, Calliope and the fans join.
** ''Calliope and the Final Update - Aftermath'', a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] look at what became of the ''Calliope and the Final Update'' universe, or rather, the version of ''Homestuck'' within it, as ''Calliope and the Final Update'' became ''Calliope's Update Girl''.
** Loading Screen 2: The Current Version, which would have included, among other things, Karkat dreaming of [S] GAME OVER.
** A project only known as "hcsgame", which would be a game, done in the style of the ''Homestuck'' walkarounds and ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' (made obvious with the game referencing, but not explicitly having, a genocide route), that would follow ''The Homestuck Character Support Group (Volume 2)'' as Rose reconsiders her options and decides to join Hussie to read ''Homestuck'' again, starting from Act 2, in a fic labeled as ''Calliope's Update Girl: Three is a Crowd but Two is Just Fine''.
