“As online fandom transforms storytelling, it is also revealing a fundamental truth: The lone writer in a garret, disconnected from the world, was always a myth. No one creates in a vacuum, untouched by the demands of the marketplace and the cultural conversation of the moment. From tales told and retold around fires to those filmed, spun off and rebooted in Hollywood, storytelling has always been a communal process.” (The New York Times; h/t Martin Lieberman)
Tilt Take:
Yes. Storytelling is a communal process. The only question: Are you listening to your community?
