This week I’m joined by Stephanie Bruneau, a talented artist and streamer, and also the voice of Iris in Arcade Spirits. On this week’s episode, I talked to Stephanie about her experience diving into the Mass Effect series, and what it was like being an “early” fan to the series. We talked about filling in the gaps in the story through fan fiction, and her own experiences writing a slow burn romance for everyone’s favorite Turian, Garrus Vakarian—and this was BEFORE Mass Effect 2 made him a canonical love interest! Through personal legacies and our growing histories, we explored much of the galaxy this week and the characters that form the backbone of it.
If you enjoyed my conversation with Stephanie Bruneau, make sure to give her a follow on Twitter, check out her art on Instagram, and follow her on Twitch.
