Skye Smith is an extremely talented writer and creative, known for their work as the official Lorekeeper and Story Editor for Dimension 20 on Dropout, (the streaming network formerly known as CollegeHumor).

Skye has a REALLY interesting take on the parasocial phenomenon as they have experienced it from MANY angles—as a fan, as a neutral observer to colleagues and friends who have rabid fanbases, and as an object of parasocial love and fascination themself.
