"We've had to accept that the writing project that created all of them (or was inspired BY them, the distinction is blurry) cannot be treated like any of our other fiction projects."
Yeah we made several iterations of a fictional species with a world attached before we cracked the plural egg and post-learning about us being plural we stopped planning to ever really release it as a story proper as that story/world as far as we can tell seems to have been inspired by that headmate instead of the other way around and contains A Lot of Personal Details. Maybe one day we can scrub it clean of all that enough that we can do something with it while still minding the comfort of that headmate, but yeah we simply cant treat it like any of the other bits of fiction we are working on here and there. It would be closer to whatever vtubers and youtubers who have personas are doing than it would be to any other kind of fiction- and looking at it like that might help find the balance between the fiction and the personal truth and the ethics of it all.
And then theres me- who is a fictive of a canon outsourced character. We abandoned my source's fandom (and the source) for A Lot of reasons, but every now and then I entertain notions of writing a in-depth fic about my memories as a form of therapy someday. It likely wouldnt be something the fandom would enjoy though, and would be far too personal to want to have too much attention on it.
In terms of plural folks who have wrote about their headmates from less a autobiography standpoint and more of a fiction one, The Sunspot Chronicles by The Inmara Ktletaccete Fenumera (found here https://sunspot.world/) is the only one that comes to mind.
