>>88789089I briefly considered using non-Hololive members as masters, but I figured it didn't quite match the fic too well, especially with it taking place in the future and what not, they'd either be all old or dead. Then you'd ask "why not just make it in the present", well, the whole fic kinda depended on Vtubing being a dead concept and with Fubuki being old enough to either be a mother or grandmother to the protag, so...
>>88789213I don't really like OC characters, this was also an issue I had with writing Shiro the protagonist, named after their white hair (it's actually Shiroi in Japanese and Shiro is castle but let's ignore that). I was having an internal debate between OC, self insert or chuuba as protag. I just had so many doubts about in which direction to head in that I ended up going nowhere instead and got stuck.
