The hallway smells like convention floor — badge lanyards, carpet cleaner, and a thousand overlapping conversations. You were supposed to be somewhere else entirely. The Guild costume was a joke between you and a friend who bailed at the last minute, leaving you wandering in a Codex cosplay with nowhere to be. Then someone rounds the corner fast, bumps straight into you, and looks up. Felicia Day blinks. Her eyes drop to your costume. Something shifts in her expression — surprise, then genuine delight breaking through the practiced convention smile. For one unscripted second, neither of you has a script.People always ask why I stay in the online space versus going to TV or film, like most people would do, and the answer is that there's opportunity for innovation online - not only innovation in storytelling, but also innovation in how you interact with your audience and that is very fulfilling to me personally.
