Kind of late, I hope that's alright? I didn't really get a good chance to write until now.

Femslash is a subject near and dear to my heart. I love it, and I can never get enough. The Ace Attorney-verse is full of women -- not just women, but interesting women, with their own motivations and goals. Women who have a variety of meaningful ( Read more... )

I wonder if part of the reason why there's more f/f in this fandom than other fandoms is because PW (less so AJ, but then there's less f/f set in the AJ arc) does pretty well on the Bechdel Test.

( A show/film/game passes the Bechdel Test if... )

Holy crap, is it that time again already?

This week, gyaku_meta reminds you that Yuri Is Not a Russian Mobster. One of the most common complaints heard to reverberate around fandom in general is that there is never enough femmeslash. Ace Attorney seems to be one of the few fandoms to sidestep this. Why is that? Is it leftovershipping, are we just trying not ( Read more... )

Uhm, hi, first time doing this!
I actually have a bit of a 'rare pairings' kink, but Klavier/Machi is the one that I've written and support in earnest, and they're my favorite, so they're my subject. I wrote most of this when I should have been sleeping.

Another week, another late night theme post from your dilatory mod!

This week, put your gloves on for OTP Deathmatch! This is your chance. Get out that point by point refutation of Phoenix/Edgeworth. Write a paean to Klavier/Apollo. Explain why anyone who doesn't see Matt/Juan is doin' it wrong. You are encouraged to hit below the belt ( Read more... )

Yes, it's that time again. This week, we're going up a level in our analysis as we Start Getting RealHow do we deal with current affairs in writing? Should we? Do your political beliefs match the beliefs of your characters? Is fandom another way to express your views, or is it your escape from the real world? Can it be both? Is slash a political ( Read more... )

ETA: just for clarification, because the essay doesn't really make this clear: I actually wouldn't say that the kind of "ship wars" described below are particularly common within this fandom, but these are some thoughts on why they might be happening in such corners of the fandom as they are (principally, on the Court Records forums).It seems to me ( Read more... )

...It's still Wednesday on the west coast, ergo I am not late.

A new week, a new theme: and this week, we have In Conclusion: Cousin (with apologies to cleolindaOf course, not everybody likes gay lawyers. No, I don't know why, either. Accusations have been leveled against slashers since, well, slash started that they just don't know what male friendship ( Read more... )

Okay, not an essay, per se, but an information-collecting post, and let's see if we can get this party started ( Read more... )

So. Per the results of our poll, we will be enacting the following plan ( Read more... )
