Hey everyone!
The wait is over! The Downstream is back and better than ever before. Years ago, The Downstream was a virtual stream powered by the Community team for the Fandom community as a way to connect staff and editors and share updates. Now, we’re bringing this monthly stream back to the community, but we wanted to focus on celebrating community, fandoms, and having genuine fun with the people who make this platform special. We are ready to deliver a monthly dose of fandom fun, community connection, and exclusive insights about all things fandom — and sprinkle in some interesting content to keep you guessing. So, get ready to immerse yourself in your beloved fandoms, explore captivating lore, and peek behind the curtain with The Downstream!
