Phoenix Wright fic

Just for a little variety from all the Guilty Gear and xxxHOLiC stuff up here lately…

Did pinneagig or I mention we finally got around to getting hold of the Phoenix Wright games a while back? As a rule most DS games don’t seem to appeal to me much, but I am pleased to say that all the good things we’d heard about this one were true (gay lawyer crack, FTW!), and a number of good things we hadn’t heard about the game turned out to be true too (plot! Really genuinely likeable, well developed main characters! A final case which messed with my head like nothing before it. Who gave them a list of all my weaknesses?!).

It does also have it’s moments of complete incomprehensibility and a tendency to drag out a lot while you hunt down the next event trigger-slash-unlikely piece of evidence that will prompt a Shocking Revelation! But in the name of Gay Lawyer Crack, we are willing to forgive.



Title: Better than nightmares
Pairing: Should count as mild Phoenix/Edgeworth
Rating: PG
Summary: The human subconscious is a dangerous place to spend the night.
Word Count: 320
Notes: Short and silly. Not spoilerish specifically, but presumably set after case 4 of the first game.

( On the morning of nearly every trial he’s has ever defended, Phoenix has woken up at 5:30 AM from a vivid nightmare in which he looks down in court to discover he isn’t wearing any clothes. )

LJ talk and xxxHOLiC fic stuffs

I downloaded LJ Talk a while back but I haven’t really done anything with it since, so I was wondering, are any of the rest of you using it? Is it worth bothering with, or should I just stick with the usual gmail/occasional AIM chat programs I’m used to?


On to an unrelated (though much lengthier) topic, it’s generally known that not everyone who enjoys a fic comes up with anything to say about it (and much as I live for like getting feedback, I’d be the last person to complain about this since I’m very aware I don’t leave feedback on everything I read by a long margin). So one of the nice bonuses of doing polls like this one is suddenly you’re getting a slightly better idea of about how many people really are reading your work and getting enough out of it to have an opinion on what they’d like to see more of, and – well, I’m not sure what number I was expecting, but still. Cool. That’s quite a lot of people. ^_^ And of course it’s extra gratifying when they all vote for the one you wanted to continue anyway.

The post-apocalyptic AU is coming along nicely, but there are a lot of background details that need to be sorted out, some of which I think I’ve got figured out, some of which I’m still pondering. So, in the hope I can talk people into helping me bounce ideas around, here’s what I’ve got so far:

( Assorted background stuff, to be incorporated into the story at some point )

( Other stuff to come, some of it not for a long while yet. (Much of which probably constitutes spoilers for things which won’t happen for a good long while) )

So, talk to me people. Am I heading in a good direction with all this? Anyone got any good suggestions about what I should/shouldn't be doing with this world?
