I don't need to get big or dream of a career as a Vtuber, but I already spend a lot of my free time preserving and archiving early fan works, as well as some official goods. I take requests from /a/ and other boards on what to scan first, and I already have thousands of doujinshi, and hundreds of magazines, CDs, and pieces of assorted software, but then I just drop a link for download and add it to the internet archive and I feel kind of lonely after a while. It would just be nice to talk to other about the media. I think for streams I'd have to keep the lewder books and games off-screen (though I'm still happy to upload them) but mentioning I'm essentially doing piracy is kind of a strange grey area. I have enough fan goods that I can stick to those for streaming so I don't think it would be a direct copyright issue. Maybe. I would need to read more up on this.
For example I loved Ragnarok Online many years ago and I've collected a lot of fan made works for it. Dozens of fan arrangements of the music, lots of books, comics, games, etc. Having a day where I focus on that series and play a little of the music in the background while I show some of the pages from the comics, then show off a little of the gameplay from the non-adult themed games, like a puyo puyo clone, maybe the guild building sim, some shmups, then finish with a link to all the the material I mentioned in the archive for others to download. I could mix in content from official sources like old defunct magazines and website archives I have, maybe if I'm careful.
People could ask for a specific series to be highlighted and if I have the material I could cover that.
I'm in the middle of moving at the moment and I don't even own a mic so it will be a bit, but just knowing that there are people out there that would join me is deeply encouraging. I will begin to read up on the basics for software and hardware.
