Collaborations[]
Preston doesn't collaborate frequently, except with one notable exception, where Preston did a quick video collab with Kuudere Ghost on a whim, and made one video for each other's channels. This first began when Preston had very little time to make a video due to a vacation, and so Kuudere Ghost made a quick video that Preston later uploaded the same week. "This is just an ordinary DDLC Video".
Preston then later a few weeks later made a similar video which Kuudere Ghost then uploaded onto her channel, "Just a normal video... or is it?".
Preston has mentioned a few times that their wants to collab with Zenia, a smaller Anime related channel. But due to little time, they haven't had time to do that quite yet. On the other, Preston did say at the end of the video called "Who's the best DDLC YouTuber? #2" that he would very much enjoy collaborating with more people in the future.
Preston has appeared as a guest on The First Podcast[1].
