“Life gets hard… make it better.”

Hi! I was pointed to your tumblr by a few folks and I just wanted to thank you for your thoughtfulness in writing about and interacting with the LiS games and the community. I love how you engage with others and their comments, and it shows what a curious mind and kind heart is at work. It is such an honor to have made a game you love and to have brought to life a character to whom you can relate. Thank you for what you put out into the world (we need more of this kind of passion), I hope you never stop. -Erika

No way. No fucking way. First off, THANK YOU. I am utterly starstruck. You’re thanking ME?? And calling it an honor to have made a game that I love?? I should be thanking you!! The asks I’ve received showed me how many people from all walks of life found something in Alex that helped them feel seen and less alone, so from me and the rest of the LiS community, THANK YOU!!!

I can’t really say much more about your performance that I haven’t said already, but it really did grab me from the start and it was all I could think about after I finished the game. I hope you know just how much Alex means to so many fans, especially during a pandemic. And your engagement with D9 and fans really does have such a huge reach— your interviews with Webb and SE made me smile and laugh even on my bad days. I’ve admired from afar how well-spoken, kind, and funny(!!!) you are, and I can’t believe I can finally say it to you directly! I’m so happy you got the opportunity to bring Alex to life and were nominated for those awards because I can’t think of anyone better for the part!

I never could have anticipated that my random commentary on True Colors could have such an impact and stretch as far as D9! I can’t thank you enough for the encouragement and for taking the time to send such a heartfelt message. I promise I will never stop! :)
