Have you ever talked to your favorite content creators?

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I have talked to many online personalities over the years.

Some, I contacted as part of my then-job. Others, I e-mailed out of genuine admiration for their craft. And what's almost shocking to me is that a lot of them (even the vast majority) were extremely kind and generous with their time.

Some of the highlights include YouTuber Ross Scott, podcasters Marva and Sabrina (from "Sistory Untold"), and professional videogame reviewer Chereside (culturageek.com). I have also have very cordial conversations in passing with the girls behind the award-winning "Fresh Hell" podcast and a very interesting conversation with Jen from "My Little Nightmare", who seemed really glad to listen to me for ideas on how to expand her show.

Now, obviously, some people weren't nearly as nice when contacted, but the positive outweighed the negative so throughly as to become a non-issue entirely. Even some of the people who declined interviews were actually really nice about it and I still see them as really great creators whose circumstances didn't allow them to engage with minor outlets such as the one I was with.

What about you? Any stories to add to the mix?

If you watch mainly anglophone Youtubers and live in a country that does not speak English, you will never see them, i've seen some filmmakers from my country that i admire, and that's that.

Well, if interacting with Twitch streamers in chat counts.

I did once write a thank you eMail to Demon Feed Audio. Super nice person, read a lot of fanfic from AO3. She doesn't post that often anymore after finishing college, sadly life's gonna life.
