Mia Rose Winter asked Your favorite kind of media to engage with?…

Probably music! Sadly, I haven't been able to enjoy books since high school. I probably haven't read any fanfiction since high school either! I enjoy comics, graphic novels, TV shows, movies, but video games are probably right up there beside music!

Games > Comics > TV Shows (animated) > Movies > TV shows > Books > Fanfiction (and only if it’s really good). I think the art/design aspect is pretty important to me. While I love a good story and can overlook functional art if the story is gripping, I have a much easier time accepting a clichéd story if the art and general presentation is great or made with purpose/passion. To me it’s more a question of how you tell a story than the story as such. Exceptions do exist, but that’s the general rule. I will easily fall into love with your story if you manage to deliver both.

I like game-based storytelling, because if done well it’s a cool way to put you in a story where you have to piece happenings together yourself.

video games and comic books are definitely my top two. they both satisfy different parts of my brain

Probably movies. There's a certain kind of silent storytelling you can only do in animated media but movies are the ones that have the best pacing and density. Close second would be games, but I don't really play many games these days.

Video essays right now. Usually video games, but no energy for those atm

Audiobooks, video games, animation, podcasts, manga, movies, books

Honestly the bigggest factor is time and available sensory devices. I got on podcasts and audiobooks early cause i did thonlse during work/commutes. Not a ton of preference, except what my particular media special interest is right now.
The past year ive been using my tablet ereader more and thats cut into videogame and tv time. I rarely now watch shows.

usually audio dramas are my favorite media - my favorite one being Midnight Burger, which at this point is kinda beyond description but the closest i can come to describing it is "a space opera about a diner that travels through time and space"

hmm i am not sure tbh, i do love a good book specifically a physical book, for whatever reason the paper helps me focus, but i also like to sit down and watch a good show/movie. i'm definetly not really a fan of comics but i haven't engaged with those that much.. it's complicated

Usually videos, though books are nice.

Hm, I think tv shows work the best for me, but I watch a bunch of movies (and been going to the theater a lot since last year!)
