A milestone I'm very happy to reach, some three-plus years after its initial publication. In some ways, it's paradoxical--TLaTU is easily my most unpopular story in terms of like/dislike ratio, yet also my most commented-on one, not counting Turnabout Storm which wasn't originally mine. I daresay it's also my most ambitious and accomplished for bringing the impossible ship to life believably.
It was a blast to write most of the way, and though I originally only intended it to be a 7-or-8 chapter 'bridge fic', it turned into a 38-chapter, 334k word epic; a bonafide sequel to Turnabout Storm with a lot of good character development and worldbuilding with a unique and suspenseful Ace Attorney trial at its core. It also spawned the Firefly war epic side fics which I'm very proud of, and even if the main story fizzled, they alone would make the story worth writing to me.
So thank you to all who liked, read, and followed the story, especially the newest readers. Sequels are still planned, but not right away. I have an anthro novel to finish first, and two other in-progress stories that will need attention as well. As said before, the next installment of TLaTU will be based in the Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations game, where you can expect the story of the game to be retold alongside visits to Earth of Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 + Spike, and likely Vinyl/Octy as well. That means among other things, the in-game trials will get pony additions, alterations and twists.
Also, I believe that Leo Archon is thinking of a new side story of his own, detailing the fate of Sunset Shimmer in this verse, which we're calling the "Phoenixverse." Probably should make a group for it... but all in good time. We're both loaded down with writing projects right now, so I do ask for your patience and indulgence. More is coming, but other projects have priority for now.
Congrats, that is a huge milestone!
Cool, I hope that one of these days, you’ll do Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright.

Sorry for not replying sooner. I’d like to, but I’ll have to play it first before I can figure out how to fit it in.
That is ok, I have never played it myself either but I did watch a walkthrough of it on YouTube in case you want to find a place to watch it.
