Heroes of the Squared Circle (Clark/Bruce): Master Post and Notes

[mithen]

This series will require a more detailed set of notes than many. :)

"Heroes of the Squared Circle" is an Elseworld story in which all the characters of the DCU are professional wrestlers. There are no superpowers, everyone is an ordinary human being--for example, Clark Kent is really the farmboy from Kansas that he appears to be. However, the heroic/villainous alter egos will still be there in the story!

Basically, I've taken the history of the DCU and the history of professional wrestling and smashed them against each other, then picked up the pieces and glued them back together to make a story I hope will be as fun to read as it has been to dream up. Nothing will be exactly as it is in the DCU, but I'm hoping you'll find enough there that's familiar to enjoy. Knowledge of the world and history professional wrestling shouldn't be necessary, as if I did it right everything is explained in the text (if something is unclear, let me know in comments!) There may be some Easter eggs for people who do know who Vince McMahon and the Undertaker are, though. :)

I'm really excited about this one, and I hope you'll enjoy it too!

A new series by mithen? Count me in!

This sounds so crazy but it really works! I have never ever in my life had an interest in wrestling - didn't even know what that was really, although I have heard names like Hulk Hogan and The Rock. I was a bit weary before starting to read this but I trusted that you would deal with this as beautifully as you did with all your other crossovers/fusions/AUs. And you did! I'm going to leave comments on the chapters now. :-)

Eee, I'm so glad you're liking it and took a chance on it despite not knowing much wrestling! Part of the fun of the series has been trying to be clear about how everything works, so it's an especial triumph to me if you can enjoy it with no background!
