そのようなアレは、困る

Back from the dead - Wendy

Because I've been clearing out some stuff and found some random AA merch that I'd like to find a good home for. Some I've put up before but I figured it couldn't hurt to relist esp since some new fans are around (since 5 years ago... yeesh!)

Prices include Paypal fees. P&P = shipping + 50p for the envelope (I will ship internationally).

Casual enquiries/questions welcome, as is signal boosting!

Capcom Cafe Godot acrylic bookmark - £10 + p&p

From the royal Capcom Cafe collab some years back. He will come with the little foil slip he came in!

Rayfa rubber keyring - £9 + p&p

From the 15th anniversary collection. She will come in her box :)

Blackquill x Apollo Doujin - £12 + p&p

A Blackquill/Apollo doujin I picked up in Japan - it's not explicit and contains some short manga and stories (in Japanese).

Rubber Straps (READ DESC) - £5 + p&p each

I believe these were also from the 15th anniversary - these have not been kept as carefully as they should have and are a little bit dirty from the less-than-ideal accommodation I was in before. I think they should clean up well, but I didn't want to risk it myself so I'm selling them a little cheaper. Feel free to message for more details on these in particular with no pressure to buy.

Princess Cafe Pearl Keyring - £8 + p&p

Chibi head keyrings - £6 each + p&p

The Pearl is from a Princess Cafe collab, and Phoenix and Maya are anime merch. They only came in foil slips so won't have boxes.

I didn’t even know until you sent this in. I was just thinking the other day that I should save them just in case and now they’re gone :( Though, I don’t know how recently it went down. It could have been that it was down already when I was thinking that, so I’m glad I got told by someone who appreciated her fics rather than finding out alone.

You’re right though, the undercover journalist one was my absolute favourite fic too. Chapter 18, the horrible misunderstanding right in the middle. I actually translated that part as part of my university dissertation. Actually I translated both her Edgeworth fics, but it’s been a long time since I read them, I’d been meaning to read them again. I never even read her Blackquill one, and then I think of all the other authors (there was another Edgeworth one I liked, had a really sweet one where he falls in love at first sight and the protag is just oblivious 🥺)

I don’t know who you are, you don’t have to come off anon or anything but it’s really special to me that there’s someone else out there who knew her stories who I’m able to connect with. I would have loved to be able to recommend them to everyone if not for the language barrier, so thank you for your message.

So I have the copies I translated but it’s just not the same as the original works. And it was so long ago that I bet there are some errors in there, stuff I would’ve done a better job with now, etc., but I’ll never be able to check. I was actually messaging her, I told her my dream was to go see an Ace Attorney concert in Japan, but now I won’t get to let her know I achieved it, that I met Shu Takumi. I wish I could let her know, she was my absolute inspiration for all the writing I do. I won’t be able to read those specific scenes in those specific words anymore, and feel the way they made me feel and that’s really heartbreaking.

I really hope there’s something else that springs up for Ace Attorney yume-fics on that side of the web. It’s been a while since I’ve gone hunting for any, and now I just wonder what I’ve missed that I could have read. At the same time, it makes me want to put even more into my own writing just in case anyone can get even a fraction of the enjoyment I got from her fics from my stuff.

I hope other people will see this and maybe take a moment to download the stories they love. If anything ever happens to any of mine, and you want copies, find a way to contact me because I’ve got them all backed up and everything. I’m not really active on tumblr anymore, but the anon messages always come to my email inbox, so I’ll pop back and respond when that happens.

Oh, I didn’t realise! Thanks for letting me know! (I was wondering why no one was joining LOL)

I haven’t actually posted Edgeworth before so it was in part my nerves of being completely new here, and as someone who has read and loved your work (Personal Prosecutor in particular) I felt I wanted to start on the right foot with this! Particularly before I actually stick my head into this world and start posting. So truly thank you for the reassurance. I am quite excited actually, this community seems much kinder than where I was previously, so I find myself quite motivated!

Apologies again if I made little sense in that ask as well, I sent it quite late in the evening haha. I would like to think this one is a little better put together but who knows, not me! Just thank you again for taking the time to discuss it and answer my ask, I suppose I better crack on and get typing! 🫂♥️

Hi again 😎 I do appreciate you reaching out of course! I just didn't want you to feel as though you *had* to, y'know? :)

I understand the nerves as well! For a long time I didn't even try to write anything because I wasn't "imaginative enough", but I did it anyway and I'm really glad I did. I'm sure you'll find you were really glad to have done it, too.

I can't speak too much to communities and such, I just try to be nice to people and otherwise stay quiet most of the time, but I have made a ton of friends from fic writing, some who are undoubtedly my closest (internet) friends now so I hope you'll have a similarly positive experience

Hiya!

I absolutely do not mind in the least, and honestly if I did, you should just say "screw her" and do it anyway! In fact, please do publish it!

I don't own the monopoly on Edgeworth stories just because I wrote something first xD There are billions of humans in the world at this point, so people are bound to come up with similar ideas. I remember after writing the ball scene of PP that I stumbled across a story the next week that had a super similar scene, written before I published mine, but that I literally had no idea existed. It happens, ideas form independently, and I don't like the idea that someone would say you can't post yours just because they happened to get in first. If anything, I love to see stories that start from a similar point with similar elements and see how they evolve differently. Besides, when you're thinking of someone to pair with Edgeworth, your first go-tos are going to be people who work in the courtroom, so I don't even think a sketch artist was incredibly original of me or anything. Especially with my sketch artist one, y/n's profession actually has very little bearing on the overall plot, so it would be great to see a story where it's more central (if that's what you're going for)

Literally ten authors could pop up right now and say "I'm gonna write an Edgeworth/personal assistant story" and I wouldn't be bothered by it. In fact I would look forward to seeing it 🤭because you're right, there aren't that many Edgeworth/reader stories out there (more than there used to be, thankfully!) and any new one is a bonus in my book.

Please, write your story, don't feel you need to make any caveats when you publish it like "I got permission for this" or anything. If anyone thinks you're copying me, screw 'em, if you get flack for it, send them this post.

(sorry for the aggressive capslock;; i want to describe how bad i love ur works and lowercase isn't solidifying it!! Thank u again for sharing ur writing with us i look forward to everything u do & thank u for existing lovelots💗!!)

EEEE, thank you so much! :DD I make myself very gooey writing them and daydreaming for them too, hehe ^^;

I'm actually the same, I have to force myself to stop daydreaming and get back to real life because I have like, 10 different concepts turning into stories in my head all while I've got one ongoing that I want to savour writing but I also get so excited for the next one ^^; I love writing so much that it's it's own reward, but lovely fans and comments like yours really are the cherry on top. Thank you so much not just for reading and enjoying, but taking the time to let me know :) It's such a massive source of joy for me, but doubly so when I find out it's the same for other people ^^

Hello!

Thank you so much for your message! Though I no longer translate each and every piece of AA news as it comes out, I still want to do the one-off projects (like translating the AAI anthology) when I can :) And of course my fics! I know this sounds cliche, but I really do pour my heart and soul into those stories. I adore planning and writing them, and that people are enjoying them too only amplifies the satisfaction I get. In fact, your message landed in my inbox as I was busy writing the next chapter of Purgatory's Observer, hehe :p
