Hey, Ace Attorney fans! I see my fanfic To Each A Tempo has already been mentioned in this com, so I thought I'd inform you folks about its update.

Originally completed in April 2008, To Each A Tempo is an epic-length crossover casefic where Phoenix Wright defends an Elite Beat Agent from a murder charge. That project helped my writing in ways I couldn't have imagined. So now that my original fantasy novel is available to the public, I went ahead and cleaned Tempo up! The full story has been edited for style, clarity and formatting. Here's to you, fandom.

You can find Tempo version 2.0 (along with my other AA fanfic) on Archive Of Our Own and Fanfiction.net. It's also going up onto my Dreamwidth fanfic tag in batches. The first version of Tempo remains on my Dreamwidth and on Insanejournal, in case you want to see the original version, its context and its spinoff fics.

(I've mentioned this in other coms. Sorry if I'm spamming anyone.)

Ok, so here's the deal

A spokesman for the Capcom unity blog said Capcom has no plans to bring the PW vs Pl crossover to the states. This supposedly had to do with phoenix wright games not selling too well here. Please show your support for the game and reply to his blog!

From what we know, it's Phoenix and Maya (and Pearl?) teaming up with Prof. Layton & Luke in the plot of Princess Tutu. Looks like that's what the "Witch Trial" hints were all about!

And here is the official game website:

A hint of things to come...?

In addition to the 10th anniversary page (with a hilarious image of Kristoph, I will note), there's a rather mysterious image, with the caption "???x???", showing what appears to be someone's desk with a book displaying the scales of justice on the cover front and center.

This could potentially be anything (who expected their "big announcement" awhile back to be a Takarazuka show, for instance?), especially since GK2 was only announced a short time ago... but I'm holding out hope for another Apollo game.
Gyakuten Kenji 2 at Tokyo Game Show! No release date yet, but hey. I'm cautiously looking forward to it.

What would you like to see in the game? What would you like less of?

Personally, I hope the game mechanics (i.e. endless investigation tiems interspersed with non-challenging logic puzzles) won't simply be carried over but either revised or exchanged... although the chances of that happening are slim, hah.
After the last Awkward Zombie comic, I thought I'd share. There aren't too many Ace Attorney based ones (most of the jokes revolve around various OTHER Nintendo games and WoW) but the ones that are there are pretty funny.

Eureka!

Back on LJ there's been a massive project to create an original EBA level for the climactic scene of [livejournal.com profile] pyrasaur's opus, To Each A Tempo, which, for those who missed it, an Elite Beat Agents/Phoenix Wright crossover.

I present the following video of a play-through of said level as decisive evidence of the awesome of both fic and fan level.



Original announcement post at gyakuten_saiban if you wanna join the party over there.
Hi! I'm Jen, and I'll be adminning this place. I'd like to keep it a pretty open community, where we can all discuss the games we love so much. In that spirit, I'll be updating the community rules shortly, but here they are for open discussion:

1.) Fic, art, music, discussion, and speculation are all open, welcome, and encouraged.

2.) As for the above: please keep large images under a cut, and please make use of the members-only and adult content settings for anything NC-17.

3.) RP advertisements are also okay, whether they be panfandom or single fandom - but please don't spam the community with them. Also, all RP ads with images should go under a cut.

4.) Be courteous. :)

5.) Have fun!

Also, on another note: I am looking for a co-admin. Please feel free to message me or comment here if you're interested.

Thanks, guys!

ETA: Please welcome [personal profile] miang on board as co-admin. :)

Also, regarding the kink meme: reposting or linking to any fills is fine, but please keep the discussion and other things related to it out of [community profile] aceattorney. If someone wants to make a community just for kink meme discussion here on DW, that's fine and even welcome; I'll even link to it on the community profile.

But what I want to emphasize here is that this is a community for the fandom at large. Yes, the kink meme is part of the fandom, and we acknowledge that, but there is much, much more to the fandom than this. We want to encourage discussion, speculation, and talk about the canon.

whoo, Ace Attorney community on Dreamwidth! \o/

I suppose everybody and their dog has already seen & played this, but I just discovered it. So for people who are equally slow, I thought I'd link the

Japanese Gyakuten Kenji flash demo, the forthcoming investigator game starring my beloved ~*~ Miles Edgeworth ~*~ (<3!)

Thankfully, there's an English translation for the non-Japanese speakers.

Enjoy -- and feel free to share your impressions in the comments! <3
