Kolkata AI Users & Experts on Fandom Shift for Telegraph Online

Hey everyone, this is a call for responses for a feature in The Telegraph Online :) Is the culture of reading and writing fanfiction dead? As a Gen Z, I grew up enjoying fanfiction (more than I should have). I used to read fanfics on Wattpad and several other sites - just about any place I could get a slice of my favourite pieces of fiction after I turned the last page or finished the final episode. For many late millennials and older Gen Zs, it was the best way to get closer to our favourite fictional worlds. Today, that experience looks different. Instead of indulging in fanfiction, I see many young fans chatting with AI versions of their favourite anime characters, K-drama leads or K-pop idols through character bots, Instagram's AI chat studio and other similar apps. What I feel is a shift in the narrative around fans and the way some of them interact with fiction nowadays. Some for harmless fun, others to curb loneliness, perhaps? I want to explore this generational shift in fandom and imagination for a feature in The Telegraph Online, exploring how the younger generation is slowly moving away from fanfiction. I'm looking to speak with: 1. Kolkata-based people, young or old, who use character bots/ AI chats to interact with fictional characters or idols 2. A couple of AI researchers/experts based in Kolkata who can weigh in on this phenomenon If you're comfortable sharing your experience or if you know someone who does this, please leave a comment or DM me and we can chat.

Kolkata Residents Who Celebrate Durga Puja at Home – Telegraph Online

Dear connections, For many of us, Durga Puja is synonymous with pandal hopping, endless adda sessions, and soaking in the festive lights. But there are a lot of people who like the quieter side of the celebrations by choosing to stay at home. Some Kolkatans avoid the crowds because they feel overwhelmed or anxious in packed spaces. Others prefer to spend the holidays to recharge, catching up on books, movies, and making the most out of their four-day-long holiday. I’m working on an article about why some of us trade the pandals for peaceful evenings at home during Pujo. If you're someone who enjoys the calm during the festive season, I’d love to hear from you. Here are a few questions you can respond to: 1. Do you feel anxious, suffocated, or overstimulated by the Pujo crowds? 2. Do you prefer staying at home during the four days of Pujo? If yes, how do you usually spend the holidays to tune into the festive mood? 3. What do you enjoy the most about staying at home during the four festive days? 4. Do you ever feel left out when you see friends or family pandal hopping, or do you enjoy the solitude? This is for the My Kolkata section of The Telegraph Online. Your inputs will help me capture the diverse ways we all experience Pujo. You can either DM me or mail your thoughts at [email redacted] #DurgaPuja #DurgaPuja2025 #journorequest #Pujo #FestiveSeason #FestivalsofIndia #Culture #BengaliCulture #Kolkata #Bengal

If you're someone who recently moved out of Kolkata and is going to celebrate the festival away from home, then I'd love to hear from you. This is for the My Kolkata section of The Telegraph Online. You can share your responses on the following questions via DM or on my mail id: [email redacted] 1. What are you feeling as Durga Puja approaches? 2. How are you planning to celebrate this year? 3. What part of Pujo do you think you’ll miss the most since you're now away from Kolkata? #DurgaPuja2025 #MyKolkata #VoxPop #Culture #Community #FestivalsOfIndia #journorequest #Kolkata
