The Origin Story
Fiona Fan, better known as Fanfan, began her journey into live streaming almost by accident during the 2020 lockdowns. Initially using Discord to game with friends, the group eventually transitioned to Twitch when their sessions outgrew Discord's technical limits. Fiona recalls her early days as being fraught with anxiety, often using a higher-pitched 'gentle' voice to avoid appearing rude. Despite streaming 180 hours in her first month to a handful of viewers, her passion for the medium was immediate, eventually leading her to choose streaming over pursuing graduate school.
