Any ideas?: I'll be finishing A Long Way to Fall. It's at about 31k words right now, and I expect to add another 30k to finish the tale.

In this story, Phoenix and Edgeworth have feelings for each other, but believe the other party isn't interested. Edgeworth goes off and has a one-night stand with a stanger, and that person begins stalking the prosecutor. Phoenix tries to support Edgeworth through the ordeal, and the two of them begin getting closer to one another...

And now the story has expanded. The stalker turns out to be more than what he seems, a crime ring has moved in, an FBI agent has turned up, and this romance story is taking a more action-filled turn. The story will be Phoenix/Miles in the end and I intend to include more romantic/explicit sexy-times with them, so hopefully that won't put anyone off. There may also be some trigger-warning content involving being restrained (and not in the sexy way) in the future.

Want a Cheerleader?: I would absolutely love a cheerleader!

Tell Us About Yourself!: I've been in the AA fandom for about 3 years, mostly on the Kink Meme. I've posted most of my works on AO3 and FF, as well as archived them on my dreamwidth account. My main ship is Phoenix/Edgeworth - I don't think I'll ever get tired of their dynamic - but I also enjoy exploring relationships, romantic or otherwise, among other characters. I love the characters in this series, with all their flaws and complications!

On a more personal note, I just finished graduate school and am searching for a job. I'm recently moving out of a horrible depression I sunk into about half a year ago, and am trying to get my mojo back. Writing is both a stressful and stress-relief hobby for me, if that makes sense!

Oh hi! I have that fill bookmarked to read when I graduate! I'm so happy you're continuing it.

I totally understand about writing, that's an excellent way to put it. Welcome to our creative adventure friend!

Heh - I've got it bookmarked to complete now that I'm graduating!

Thank you for organizing this shindig. I've never done anything like this before, and I'm excited to be a part of it. Thank you for having me on the adventure!

*glomps* I love A Long Way To Fall so much and every chapter makes me all happy. Seeing you talking about it here is like the bestest thing ever. (I squeed whilst anon, but hey, you are amazing and there is no such thing as too much squee about this fic and DAMN, you have some talent.)

Also, massive hugs and kind thoughts regarding the depression. I know a lot of writers talk about it helping them write, but for me, it just results in huge amounts of writer's block and a generalised lack of motivation about everything. I really hear you on this and hope you can keep the black dog at bay.

Aw, thank you so much! *Glomps you back* Sorry for the late reply; I've been flying cross-country for job interviews and it's getting in the way of internetting.

I'm still a little giddy with disbelief that you're a fan of ALWtF. So many of your stories, and particularly Little Brother, have haunted me. They're like specters that float around behind me, always there, waiting for me to remember. Those stories filled me such empathy and I find myself still thinking about them years later. You have such a gift for angst and character and bittersweetness. Just wow.

And yeah, I'm the type that completely freezes up when depressed: crying; doubting everything about myself and life, the universe and everything; terrible thoughts; unmotivated to do anything, even eat. I haven't had a bout like this in a few years, and it was triggered so suddenly. "Keep the black dog at bay." That phrase is very special to me. The writer who first got me into fanfic ten years ago, who changed my life, talked about her depression using that phrase. Just seeing it again has filled me with a warm, empathetic nostalgia, a reminder that no one has to be alone.

I'm glad I'm able to work on this story again. It was such a joy to me before, and I'm looking forward to writing the second half.
