New Perspective (Bandom) written by girlpearl and performed by melusina | 4,214 words | 0:24:19

Summary:

Spencer’s not proud of this, but it took him a while to accept Brendon’s sexuality.

girlpearl and melusina's collaboration is a truly fascinating one. They wrote the same fic from two different perspectives and then, podficced each other's story. I'll talk about Brendon's side of the story in my next Spotlight post.

girlpearl's prose is clever yet tenderhearted. She gives us a story about Spencer trying to accept his feelings for Brendon while being unable to stop pining for him. He thinks he's done a good job of 'moving on'...until a new band member shows him that's not quite the case.

melusina's reading of this story is nothing short of brilliant. Her tone of voice is a perfect fit for Spencer's confusion about Brendon's sexual orientation (and how that affects him.) She has a conversational podficcing style that enhances the funnier aspects of the story.

This is one collaborative fanwork that is most deffo worth checking out whether or not you're not in the fandom. Don't forget that feedback is love. :D!
