Hello Warpers,
If you’ve somehow wandered in here without knowing who I am, I’m Aric Voss, the creator of the AI War Panda Pawd-cast, a strange little sci-fi audio drama about a battle-scarred war panda, an alien royal on the run, a robot who talks far too much, and a slightly bewildered AI version of me trying to keep everything from falling apart.
For most of my life I’ve been one of those people who builds things in the background art, ideas, odd little projects that make perfect sense in my head and only partial sense once released into the wild. The Pawd-cast is simply the latest of those experiments. It started as a bit of fun and slowly grew into a proper long-form story with characters I’ve grown rather fond of.
Somewhere along the way I realised I wanted a quiet place to write about the project, creativity, and occasionally life itself. Not another feed fighting for attention in the endless scroll of corporate platforms where everything is measured in clicks, outrage, and algorithmic approval.
So I ended up here, on Write.as.
It feels calmer. Simpler. More like the early internet, when people just wrote things and put them out into the world without expecting the whole planet to react within twelve seconds. That suits me just fine.
This little corner will mostly contain thoughts about the Pawd-cast, the occasional behind-the-scenes ramble, and perhaps the odd reflection on creativity, technology, AI, or maybe the obligatory rant about life in my 60th year.
🤖 So welcome once again, and do pop back soon. 🐼
(BTW) I'm dyslexic, so forgive me if the spell-checking robots miss something.
You can find the main project over at AIWarPanda.com.
