Reviews for Much Obliged, Sir!

    Hello,

    I glanced through this story a while back (curse my short attention span!), before I had even thought of playing Phoenix Wright... now that I have finished at least the first one, I came back to check it out again. Unsurprisingly, things make a lot more sense.

    I suppose I should start by confessing that I'm a very intense Edgeworth fan, although I generally like him paired with Phoenix... still, Gumshoe has some very adorable puppy-dog appeal. Your writing is absolutely beautiful in terms of the way in which it's kept his character intact: he means well and he's such a great person, but he can never do anything exactly right... or, in the case of the antique furniture, even remotely right. :P Add to that Edgeworth, who's still trying to grasp the idea of good intentions but hardly ever bungles anything, and it's the original odd couple... and their adventures are hilarious. On the subject of characterization, Phoenix and Maya are also perfect, and the dialogue/thought monologues are great, and full of one-liners that still have me laughing as I type this ("Phoenix: -I- sleep on my couch"... priceless).

    I'd also like to express my appreciation that you didn't throw Gumshoe and Edgeworth into bed, or a janitor's closet, or the back seat of a car, halfway through chapter one. The pacing of this story is very refreshing, and demonstrates a maturity of craft that, unfortunately, is all too rare in Fanfiction. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm enjoying the opportunity to ease myself into your vision of the characters, to see them relate to each other as people before (or perhaps instead, despite this being "Adult Fan Fiction") they come to relate to each other as lovers.

    I happened to see in your reply to another reviewer that you're having difficulty turning out updates as quickly as you'd like, which I suppose is to be expected, given the length of your chapters... I mention this because I'm the same way with, well, everything. :P I suppose that's the long way around to telling you that I do intend to keep reading your story, and leave a review if I get the chance, but I certainly won't be winning any trophies for promptness in that task.

    Thank you for writing this-- it really is enjoyable, and you should be proud of it. I can't wait until the next chapters are posted.

    Best, Delia

    Thank you kindly :). The story is still in progress; sorry for the lack of updates recently. I am a college student and I do not have as much time as I might wish in order to write fanfiction.

    I like it. Pheonix's thoughts totally reminds of the game. And the stuff Maya says! ^.^ And of course Edgeworth/ Gumshoe is completely awesome... *giggle*
