Read on Twitter
A few articles have recently come out quoting me by name — so yes, I& #39;m the writer behind Seraphine& #39;s Twitter.
I plan to tell my full side of the story sometime soon. For now, I want to clarify that my intention was simply to write an interactive story about a girl who pursues her dreams. There was no board of execs scheming to create a "relatable" girl or capitalize on mental illness.
I spent all of 2020 pouring my heart into this project, and so did my teammates. My goal was always to write a story that touched upon empathy, sincerity and kindness. I genuinely cared about all the people who interacted, and I wanted to use this platform to uplift them.
Social media is a new medium for storytelling, with unpredictable real-world impact. There are things we learned about the process, and are still learning. But we always took our responsibility to her fans seriously.
Please don& #39;t harass any of the people who worked on this project or any of her fans. I understand it can feel good to take a shot at a fictional character or a faceless corporation, but these words hurt real people. Think before assuming the worst about us.
There have already been several articles presenting misleading information, speculation about my personal life/mental state, and purposeful misinterpretation of our intentions. All I can ask is that you use your best judgement when reading about this "controversy."
For those who enjoyed Seraphine, thank you sincerely for your care and support. No matter what, the story& #39;s ending soon — and I hope you can enjoy the ending.
