1. After finishing the second case of Apollo Justice, I can say with no fear of being mistake that the one(s) who localized this game MUST be the one(s) who did Okami. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR. And no, it's not my obsession or anything: it is THAT obvious. Every time Klavier opens his mouth. But the icing of the cake was...

Auf Wiedersehen, baby.

For my own sanity, I'm on denial and consider AJ to be a Tsubasa-esque canon AU, and that in some parallel world there is a Phoenix who's still an attorney and a non-bitter [insert character] who managed to become a [insert profession]. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy the prettiness of the Gavin brothers game.

...I think this game is making me shallow.

I should check your drabbles out when I have the time ^^ GS3 left me all wanting to read genfic, and I don't dare to check the fandom out.

Or trying to separate the characters is like trying to separate ingredients in a cake that has already been baked.
True! Although I find that in some cases, it's easy to write about said characters in introspection, analyzing their relationship, without having to add the second character(s) talking. (For instance, writing Subaru genfic without him interacting with Seishirou, but still talking/thinking about him.) However, trying to write pairing fic with someone else ignoring the second character ever existed is hard or sometimes just impossible, because the reason you're giving.

Phoenix is doing the bitter smile thing that Edgeworth does. Feenie doesn't do that. Feenie is not supposed to do bitter smiles. He's supposed to be sarcastic and high-strung. Not smiling bitterly and lazy-eyed. But those brothers are very pretty, I will admit. And yes, this game makes everyone shallow.

AA fandom is a bit...odd, compared to others. There aren't any real pairing wars, simply because the only real relationships in the game are already over when they're introduced, excluding Maggey/Gumshoe, but that doesn't really happen until GS3. So there's a lot of crack pairings, but everyone's polite about them, even if it's pure, pure crack.

Most of my fics are genfic, but spoilery. The only stuff that isn't genfic is my Iris/Phoenix stuff (that's marked by me saying that if I said what character it was it would be a spoiler), because I am a sucker for writing tragic relationships--especially if they're doomed from the start--when they're still happy, but with the edge of reminiscence. Here's the tag link for my AA fic. [/shameless pimping]

It is hard. I don't know how some fanfic writers can pull the "rocks fell" for one half of relationships that are established in the freaking story, and also fail to express that in the fanfic. For me, that'd be the whole damn plot, where it's all about the missing other half being missing and trying to get over it.

He so doesn't feel like him at all D: And what's with the weird sense of humor he developed? I'm having troubles to imagine Nick liking jokes, no matter how horrible set-ups and having an enthusiastic daughter could've affected him. It just feels so... odd.

Another exception is the DeLites, who remained married, but apart from them I guess there aren't happy canon couples that stay that way -and they're so minor anyway. But I can imagine the crack pairings should be abundant ^^ Still, I like the friendships and family relationships in this game better than pairings. Ah, a game with "gay lawyer" fame, and I don't do slash and go for the canon and platonic stuff... I clearly choose them well.

*saves link for later :D*

And considering how most writers are into angst and H/C, one'd expect them to do that kind of plot more often,
