> From Jonny’s recent stream:

> Ko-fi: Hi Jonny. I was wondering if you have a particular audience in mind when you write. Thanks for the streams.

> Jonny: Like, I do and I don’t, like, it’s weird because Magnus has taken off quite a lot among, like, sort of, queer teens. Basically, and so, I feel a bit bad when I often say the audience I’m writing for is them in about 10-15 years. Uh, just, because a lot of my writing is informed by like, the world of work and day jobs and small and petty compromises that you end up having to make, like just throughout life, and like I feel like some of that. It doesn’t entirely get, to say that some of that gets lost is ..it feels too dismissive of the audience that we have which is great, and I legitimately am so grateful and really, really love the audience that Magnus especially has gathered. But it is interesting the differences between that and the audience that like in my mind I’ve always been writing for, I guess, so it’s a weird one.

> What I really hope is that the people who love Magnus at the moment, a lot of the younger ones, revisit it further on in their life and get new and different things out of it. That’s what my deal….[at this point Jonny gets distracted by the game.]
