You’re in The Write (Right?) Spot!

Among the many unpredictable issues that arose alongside the pandemic, a lack of interpersonal connection is arguably the most significant impact that I have experienced. Adding onto this, the imprint that the virtual workspace has made in our lives has been a quick change for myself, in which, I found it difficult to adapt my entire life to correspond with these changes. From school to work, and even socializing with my friends and loved ones, this digital era has overhauled the trajectory of all I know. As such, it is truly refreshing to be a part of the team here at The Write Spot

Congratulations to Elise Vist on their publication in the book Virtual Identities and Digital Culture

The book Virtual Identities and Digital Culture just dropped today and includes the chapter "From a Group of Friends to a Mainstream Audience: Critical Role and New Media Publics" authored by the WCC's own Multimodal and Public Scholarship Developer Elise Vist and former WCC Arts First Coordinator Betsy Brey!

Using the popular live-play tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) show Critical Role as a case study, Brey and Vist demonstrate that the ways creators take up the affordances of new media shape the kinds of publics that are invited and expected as their fandom. We're definitely checking this out!
