So, um, I have this perfectly good, half-written fanfiction sort of just sitting around among my documents. Basically, it’s set in 2040, and after Hatsune Miku escaped into the real world with virtual Rick Astley (long story), Rick died, and she became sad. This quote explains it pretty well:
Anyways, this kid, Richard Ashley, is Rick’s reincarnation, and he has to win a singing competition to buy cancer medicine for his parents, so he’s pretty desperate to get Miku to teach him. Any thoughts?

Well, virtual Rick is kind of the embodiment of his ‘meme’ internet personality. I don’t know what the real Rick is like. He seems like a nice guy, but he could be a secret serial killer for all I know.
It’s not really the main focus, but yeah, that’s kind of true. A part of the reason these singing competitions arose was to give non-AI singers a small source of income, sort of like how artisans switched to selling novelty items after machinery replaced them. It’s not a permanent solution, though, although AI isn’t that far along yet.
That’s true. in the original half I wrote, I kind of skipped over most of the first parts to get to the actual competitions, so I’ll probably rewrite it.
Lol that seems true. My “write later” lists are almost as long as some people’s “read later” lists. I have “Danganronpa Fanfic” in progress, then “Hatsune Miku fanfic”, “danganronpa fanfic sequel”, “Miku prequel” etc…
