On creating things and finding an audience

Steph Thirion, cre­ator of the neat iPhone game Eliss, sums it up:

Often insom­nia would strike in, and I would ask aloud, to the dark­ness of the room, “will any­one appre­ci­ate this”? (My girl­friend had by that time devel­oped the habit of using earplugs). And then in a spec­ta­cle of light rays and stars, the Fairy of Rea­son would appear to me and speak ten­derly: “good hearted child, if you love it, some peo­ple, who have things in com­mon with you, will too”. And then, on my knees, hold­ing my hands together, tears shak­ing on the cor­ners of my beg­ging eyes, I would ask, “what if I’m just a freak and no one is like me?” And then she’d say, in her sooth­ing voice: “Well, it’s true that you do some weird shit. Do you always have to do the dishes with gloves on?” And then I’d reply: “I don’t like deter­gent, my hands get all dehy­drated and”. But the Fairy of Rea­son would not wait for me to fin­ish: “Do you really need four duvets, in spring­time?” And me: “Look, I get chilly when I sleep. Can we get back to my game?” And then, just as she appeared, in a beau­ti­ful glow of white color, she was gone.
