My name is Lerya and I've been creating (fan)fiction for close to 21 years now.With the blackout of AO3 I realized that a lot more people than we ever knew were writing/creating which brought me to the idea of setting up a podcast of which the title will be "Your Only Limitation is your Imagination; 'Meet the Creators'" in which I hope to find people who would like to answer a set of questions either in a stream on Twitch, in voice while I'm on twitch or who'll fill out a form with the questions which I'll read while on stream.
I'll also be recording this to share on other platforms after the stream has ended. You will course also get a copy at the end of it all.

Why am I doing this?
As I mentioned, I think there are a lot more people connected to creators than we all realized. I used the example of AO3 as this is the platform I'm most active on but I think it can stretch further then that. I don't plan on just limiting myself to writers, so anyone who thinks of themselves as a creator is more than welcome to join in!
Anyway, I wanted to give this community a voice where I think they haven't had one before.
Things that might have gotten lost throughout the years or that aren't spoken about anymore.
I also hope that in sharing the views of others, there is a chance to build a community around all of us and have people to rely on and to support us.

I, myself, found an amazing community to back me up in just about everything. It helps to have like minded people to talk to and exchange ideas. Or just to spar over your own ideas to see what people think of it. That's what I want to create and what I hope will help others too.

What am I hoping to gain from this?
Nothing really. Except a community for me to connect to as well.
Mostly I want to see that giving people a voice might give others insights on things that they hadn't thought about. The internet can be a toxic place, so if you get misinformation or you suddenly get dumped into the deep end it might be so very scary. I hope with this that I can give out the information that I was given and that I adhere by together with other writers to give some context to subject lost in translation (either literally or through generations).
