Pesterquest theory. This is where alt Calliope comes from.

Credit to MundaneGeneric for having the thought.
Basically that the pesterquest could possibly be leading towards the events that creates Alt Calliope. A timeline where she gets cut off from her friends or motivated to overcome Caliborn, devour him and become alt calliope.
Whether or not it means she is behind pesterquest... That would be the question. Its not implausible but it would show a certain level of hypocrisy, playing around in the past with the retcon powers through someone. Then again it would be needed for her origins.
However the fingerprints seem to belong more to Dirk than it does to calliope. Certain lines, the fact that many times it seems as if the narrator has been trying to dissuade the reader from continuing. Then there is the fact that the reader kept on suffering deaths riiiight after his encounter with Dave. including ones he could have easily escaped.
It could be there is even a third party here that has been working through the reader to accomplish their goal. Or fuck maybe Dirk has deliberately ensured Alt calliope's very existence. Which is disturibng cause it increases the amount of control Dirk has here.
But yea it is plausible, especially if Dirk tries to avoid the Reader.
