Also, I made a clan on D4. I've been meaning to create a note or something about it. I think Nadia and her boyfriend joined a little while back. Whenever you have the time, just look up "Substack Crew" in the social tab!
I have spent a whole 5 minutes in-game thus far (Delinquentia is lvl2). Character creation took way longer! I might pop in during summer vacation but I am pretty busy with non-gaming stuff. If I do I shall check out ze crew! Thanks!
Absolutely cannot wait for the viewing of the feature documentary, that’s so exciting. Your success is so, so well deserved. The content you’re producing is of such a high standard and is so deeply moving, so thoughtful. It makes this whole human experience thing significantly easier for me, and I’m sure for many others, too, and for that I’m truly grateful. Congratulations, Taegan, and sincere thanks for all that you do.
That's incredibly kind of you to say. The feeling is certainly mutual - I think your thoughts and essays are very much needed in the modern world. It's been a pleasure having you pop up in my email and can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Thank you! Yeah, so far the responses to the guest post concept have been really interesting. I'm especially interested in the podcast element, too. It'll be nice to put some faces/voices to the writers we interact with every day
A collaboration of sorts, it would be amazing and illuminating! I imagine it may also give you some respite from working hard on your one word videos. Although I'm sure it would also be hard work too, but maybe a nice transition.
We have a few notable film festivals down here in Australia, and my wife is in film Production, so just in case you want any contacts down here in the future then let me know.
Oh that's amazing. I'd definitely be interested. Let me do some digging into what's going on with festivals over there and get back to you. I never thought about trying to qualify as an international!
Yeah we get a huge amount of international films at film festivals here. There's a big community of indie film (shorts, features and documentary) lovers and makers down in Aus.
What an amazing idea with the doco, Taegan. You've created something unique here, and I have high hopes that film festivals will absolutely recognise that, along with your creative brilliance in putting it all together and the way its filmed, spoken and edited. Best of luck my friend! Can't wait.
I also love the idea of guest post for the off season. I might have a little think 🤔 although I'm sure others will be coming up with some far better submission suggestions.
Thanks so much for your encouragement. I'm a little nervous about the process, but also very excited to see this season come to a conclusion, edit the doc, and move on to next season. Some big ideas already percolating for that.
And nonsense - if you come up with an idea send it my way. I'd love to hear it!
Your idea is SO GOOD. I’ll reply later today. Also, would love to pick your brain about the doc fest stuff. I’m going into it mostly blind. Will talk over email!
Fantastic idea, Taegan. You go get that doc out there. Wishing you the best of luck!
Thank you Alexander!

Are you trying to force me to purchase D4? 😅 This would be so awesome to join.
Would love to have out with you all.

Hey Chloe,
That's incredibly kind of you to say. The feeling is certainly mutual - I think your thoughts and essays are very much needed in the modern world. It's been a pleasure having you pop up in my email and can't wait to see what you come up with next.
All the best for the documentary and congratulations on fantastic work!
Hey Priya,
Thanks so much! I've never made a full-length video before, so fingers crossed
Taegan, this is so exciting! Best of success to you with the documentary. Also the guest post is a fine idea! I look forward to all of it!

Congrats on being a featured publication, you deserve it!
I’m definitely going to submit something, but I’m going to take some time and be intentional about it!
Hey Liz,
Thank you! And take your time, there's no rush. I'm glad you're aiming to be intentional about it. That's exactly what I'm hoping for!
Awesome!
You should definitely consider submitting to this film festival from @CODECXS

Will be thinking about an idea to submit for your offseason.
Hey MITER,
This looks really cool - I'm definitely open to sending the doc to a few festivals, so thanks for putting this on my radar.
And yeah, take your time. The first pieces for Off Season won't be going out until November. Looking forward to hearing your idea!

Amazing! I'm excited we're so close to the next Word now 😃
Good luck on the documentary! Very exciting!
Hey Fossil, thanks for the support. No idea what a 60 minute cut of One Word would look like, but we'll find out!
Exciting!!! Well deserved accolades on Substack! And good luck on this new journey beyond!
Hey Justus,
Thanks for the encouragement! Nervous to tackle the challenge but I'm hopeful it'll work out
Oo I’m definitely interested! I have a couple ideas to pitch, if you’d like. And congrats on the upcoming documentary!
Hey Jenn!
Thank you. And yeah, I'm open to all ideas. Off Season is pretty open at the moment, so take you time and send me an email whenever you're ready!
Awesome! Will do.
Your idea is SO GOOD. I’ll reply later today. Also, would love to pick your brain about the doc fest stuff. I’m going into it mostly blind. Will talk over email!
Thanks so much Barbara for all your support. You’ve been such a champion and it’s very much appreciated
