I have made up my own fictions in my head for various reasons over the years, sometimes in media, usual ones i watch rather then play. that sometimes what i an watching reminds me of things before. including stuff i made up and for a moment i end up comparing things rather then focusing on what in front of me. sometimes it can even spark new ideas. some witch are not even the intention of what i am watching at the time.

Its also a very different thing when I'm writing for a few folks i know in particular vs writing for a massive group of random unknown folks. with the small group i can work out what they would be into and cater to their tastes easily enough, but with something that anyone is gonna read i begin to nick pick every detail of things they 'might not enjoy' and end up getting nowhere. (so ultimately, i am on a similar boat as you on the subject.)

I am a big fan on new/unusual concepts and ideas (at least new to me) so these tent to be the kind of things i like to consume and want to create.


And finaly , hows it feeling to be getting these out there?

It feels double-edged. I'm feel like I'm finally saying stuff super clearly, and response seems to confirm. But as I look at what I've made, the contrarian in me keeps poking holes in my reasoning. And then I'm like, "exaggeration for comedic effect!" etc. :P

A few, but important words for you:

You share the same goal as corporations do, but the reason as to *why* differs.

Cool! I'm a corporation! *Splits into clones and takes over an office park*

I feel pretty much this same way about media myself, except I'd usually sort of prefer to just amuse and confuse people than make my point of view persuasive, or even legible. But no matter what you wanna do with an audience, knowing your audience is the best way to justify all the time, effort and cost of a passion peoject, and generally feel less like it's that Andy Warholy burrito camera situation. But counterintuitively, in order to know your audience you need to SHRINK your audience to include almost zero hypothetical strangers with unknowable opinions. That's how niche stuff like Phantom Tollbooth even happens, it feels like it was written to impress a friend, and liking it without meeting the author feels like spending time with a friend too.

Yep yep.
Nova Seed was AMAZING and I'm glad I caught the stream of it.

I feel like I’m supposed to put a lecture or something in this comment, but all I can think to say is I understand and agree with this comic 100%.

cool cool! Thanks! Comments of any length are welcome, I'm just shy and bad about responding sometimes. :P
