Out of curiosity, why'd you wind up going with Calliope+optional Seppucrow instead of Muse Calmasis's older design concept? Just simplicity?

The design I used in the flash was always what I was going to do, but there was some miscommunication in our skype chat at the time which lead to Calicorn finishing the other design. I’m not sure if Austin clarified that when he posted it way back when. But it is nice art!

> Also! It’s almost certainly way too late to even consider changing something like this, and it really doesn’t matter much regardless, but IMO “Muse Mayonaka” is just about the optimal name for an Anti-Lord-English, in terms of both meaning (fan self-insert Professor Mayonaka, the song Midnight Calliope, Japanese (Damara!) vs English…) and alliterative catchiness into the bargain, even if Muse Calmasis was the most common one when the idea was making its rounds in the theorysphere.

She doesn’t have an official name in the story, (other than ‘Calliope,’ of course) so you’re totally welcome to refer to her as you’d like. Though for fun and thematic reasons I tend to call her “Miss America.”
