In a world with supers and magic (not Whateley), a trickster god (Loki?) has stolen the power of other trickster gods, and appears over the Earth as a spaceship from another world. He announces that they find the distribution of powers on Earth unfair, so they will grant powers to anyone who asks. Chaos ensues, keeping existing hero teams busy helping people who get in trouble with their unmastered new powers and fighting new supervillain wannabes. One existing villain group meets in the castle of their leader (?), and decide to hold off doing anything until they get a handle on it all. The trickster declares them no fun and blows up the castle.
Last I saw, it was unfinished.
Sound familiar to anyone?
I remember that story
I think it was part of the retcon green lantern stories
We the willing, led by the unsure. Have been doing so much with so little for so long,
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
Sounded familiar
Then read Nuuan's comment about the Green Lantern and Lillith's "Comics Retcon Universe"
It sounds like it could be Alan\Alena's story "Green With Envy" by Lynceus
Nope...
It's from Dorothy's E-Girl universe...
“He’s been stealing the power of tricksters from all the other pantheons...”
E-Girl: The Gift, featuring Fluke.

(OK, I didn't read any of the Retcon stories, so I suppose there might be a similar plot there. But everything in the E-Girl story matches the description exactly, IIRC.)
Thanks!
That was the one. Somehow, I missed seeing chapter 3.
