Soooooooooooooooo. I feel like a lot of times when we post on here it's something serious, or someone left, someone arrived, you get it. And honestly, I've got no problem with that cause it makes sense! But how about some more icebreakers?

FanPort got me thinking cause obviously all the locals are crazy about superheroes, and even non-superheroes, but what about you guys? If you come from a world with superheroes like me, you've got a pretty good head start on everyone else. Still, everyone's probably got some kind of hero, right?

And now I'm sure you're wondering, "Stephanie, who is your favorite superhero?"

Well, drumroll please...

[The drumroll is so she can think of a good answer. It's not working.]

Uh. I had a poster of Superboy when I was in high school. Wait, is Superboy here? I just realized how weird this could potentially get...

Not that we ever referred to them as superheroes... but my heroes growing up were the first Paladins of Voltron, my father and his friends — the first Defenders of the Universe. It was their shining example that made me hope I could become a Paladin myself, someday.

It's one of the reasons I find FanPort so endearing. I can't help but hope that some of them will be inspired in the same way.

That's awesome. I feel weird saying same cause I looked up at Superman and then became a college student, but you get the idea, right? Heroes inspire people!

Did you see anything cool from your fans? Or do a panel or autographs or whatever? Since it sounds like you're a hero yourself now.

Precisely! So long as you're motivated to live your best life.

[She smiles.] ... I actually heard one of my fans use that expression. It's possibly one of the best I've heard since I arrived on Earth.

I did run a panel! Nothing so grand as some of the rallies for support we did back in my own universe, but I think it went well regardless. And it was so much fun to be able to speak with so many of them!

Wait, so let me get this right... you're a hero here and back home? Whoa. Does that ever get exhausting? I mean, I sort of thought about trying out the superhero thing here for a second, but the only power I got is turning things purple.

If we're being honest? Here, I sometimes worry that I might be slacking.

There's actually far less on my shoulders here than there was back home. Certainly not nearly so much politics or warfare.
