It was unsolicited, but still welcome, and I'd like to thank the reviewer, darksymphony777, for running it past me first before simply posting it to the story comments. His review is twenty minutes long and a bit on the stream-of-consciousness side, but definitely worth listening to as he addresses all the major parts and issues of the novelization in turn.

Well, it's been 10 days since The Lawyer and The Unicorn (T-rated version) was released, and the response to it has been extremely tepid at best. To this point, in fact, it's underperformed even my low expectations, garnering less than six comments and an even worse upvote-to-downvote ratio than TLaTU-M. I wasn't expecting a blockbuster performance by a T-rated rerelease of an already-completed M-rated story, but I also didn't think that readers would be so few.

After a lengthy production, the third episode to the crossover audio/visual drama series, Elements of Justice, is finally here! You can find the video below. Hold on to your hats, because this one is a doozy - a massive improvement in almost all areas of development.

I already did this in the most recent Rise of Firefly chapter, but I'd like to do so here as well:

Like updating Turnabout Storm. The prelude plus first five chapters have been redone and reposted. Updates include a careful editing pass, lot of dialogue additions and changes (honestly, the first video part’s dialogue was a bit stilted in places), fleshing out and adding additional details and graphics, and toning down the early shipping. I also added some things to make the story mesh a bit better with what

I asked for ten yea votes to do it, and I got nine. But there were also two yea votes by different readers for the T-rated version for the trial, so counting those, that makes 11. Threshold exceeded, so as promised, a T-rated version of The Lawyer

Part 65 - Channel Change is the first of a two-part grand finale that I originally wrote as one large chapter, but decided that 30k words was a little much for a single chapter, even an ending one. Aside from the usual edits and cleanup, smoothing things out and putting in some additional detail and dialog, there is one major update to the chapter.

Finally got my vacation and I'm spending a week-plus in Las Pegasus Vegas starting two days ago. How is it? Hot and dry. Temperatures forecast to be 110F later this week, but they keep the giant poker rooms at the Rio conference center they use for the WSOP (World Series of Poker) so cool I had to buy a sweatshirt. How am I doing? Played three daily tournaments and hit the money (barely) the first time, just missed it the second, and did very badly on the third thanks to one stupid

In a manner of speaking as its number of likes just reached 1776, the same number as the year of American Independance! I'd like to thank yet again everyone who read, enjoyed, or commented on the novelization, as well as the original author, Chrome Regios, who took on this Herculean task to begin with and churned out the first 42 chapters. The stories this work has spawned live on as well, in the form of the The Lawyer and The Unicorn, and the Firefly series. And of course, let's

And whoa, was it EVER worth the wait! Revelations aplenty, and a conspiracy unravels as Phoenix solves the mystery of the Helios-6 incident and uncovers the true mastermind behind a murder, clearing both his client of the crime and his client's brother of complicity in the deaths of twenty soldiers. Move over Manfried von Karma, Chief Damon, Matt Engarde and Dahlia Hawthorne, for I promise you will NEVER love to hate an Ace Attorney villain as badly as this one.

I'm around, but in pain.

Last Friday, I had a minor medical procedure called Radiofrequency Ablation--basically involving microwaving the back of my tongue under partial sedation. The purpose of it is to cause the internal tissues of the tongue to tighten by basically roasting them, helping to open the airway--I'm still suffering a bit of obstructive sleep apnea even after the jaw advancement surgery I had a couple years ago.

The T-Rated version of The Lawyer and The Unicorn has been released. Nine chapters are now posted, and I plan to release one new chapter a day from here on out.

A couple things that, with apologies and due respect to the late great Dr. Seuss, we’ll call Thing 1 and Thing 2:

You know, I've thought about it, and there's really no reason for me to wait until the entirety of TLaTU is converted to a T-rated story before releasing it. Especially when I can convert the first six or so chapters in a matter of hours.

This is a catalog of what I remember of my journey to discovering Phoenix wright and learning to love the series.
Some time in 2010
-Found a game called Escaping the prison on newgrounds.com, favorite ending was the Lame Ending in which you call a stickman version of Phoenix wright. He clears you innocent and you beat the game with that ending. Unaware that it was a reference at the time.
Some time between 2012 and 2013

After an unpleasant couple weeks of work, I've got a three day weekend to unwind and take advantage of. Here's my writing schedule to come, in order of priority:

1. Unleash the Magic:

Thanks to the long weekend, the next Unleash the Magic: Midnight Rising chapter draft should be finished by Monday or sooner, and will be posted as soon as it passes prereaders. Needless to say, I think you all know what happens next...

2. The Lawyer and The Unicorn

Initial launch will comprise a prologue plus eight chapters, with additional chapter releases occurring at the rate of one per day after. At that rate, the story will reach the start of the trial by this time next week with plenty to read in the meantime.

Here’s what to expect:

Sorry to disappear for the past few weeks. My update is that work is a royal pain the flank right now, and I'm not finding much time or emotional energy to write at the moment. Work continues--slowly--on the climactic Firefly chapter for the Battle of Outpost Epsilon, and after that, as promised, I'll shift over to Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night for a couple chapters. Work, unfortunately, is not likely to let up for at least several weeks, and after that, I'll be looking
