I would like to give my opinion on all of them, since appreciation for literature is one of my things, and I don't think anyone should go without some sort of opinion on their writings.

"The Gourd Lake Incident"- Very entertaining and funny. Captures the characters very well, especially Gumshoe, of course. Any Gumshoe fan should definitely read it. I've always thought he was so dumb that it's somehow cute in some odd way, and this made me think that, yet again, pretty strongly.

"The Scariest Thing"- This one is all about the effect given at the end, so elaborating too much would just spoil it. So, the only thing I have to say is that this one had a very nice effect at the end.

"All I Needed"- A nice way to go deeper into Phoenix's personal feelings during the time inbetween T&T and AJ:AA. Short, yet it captures the reader's feelings very well, which alone makes it a very impressive bit. Whoever wrote this, you have a lot of potential with touching, inspirational-ish stories. If you ever write a novel or something, even if not a fanfic, I would love to read it.

"Chasing An Illusion"- This could best be described as a hidden prelude, and a very well-written one. Kind of seems to capture the way Edgeworth is most likely portrayed in Investigations.

"Shards of Glass"- This one has a very experimental-seeming flow to it, moving from inner-dialogue to outer pretty frequently. Not a bad way of doing things, reminiscent of the way some Stephen King books seem to flow. Also nice presentation of Maya and Phoenix's relationship.

"Breath"- Unique writing style, but I'll just be honest; I'm not for that particular pairing at all, so any opinion I give would probably come out bias. So please, someone else, give an opinion, since I know that a lot of people are all for the pairing.

"I Had Not Intended To Love Him"- This was my favorite, which is actually VERY odd. I absolutely hated Pride and Prejudice, yet it reminds me of that a lot (I'm assuming that the writer is most likely a female who really enjoyed P&P). It went into such depth with the characters, especially Franziska, who before, was one of the oddest characters in the game, yet this makes her seem very human and realistic. I first read it because I'm obsessed with Godot, but in the end, she was the character who really captured my attention. I think part of it might have been because the way the two of them interact reminds me a lot of the way me and my girlfriend are with each other. Even Franziska's more detailed background is similar to hers. At first sight of the description, it seemed like a very odd idea that could never work, but somehow, the writer actually managed to make it work amazingly well. This one is the longest, but in my own opinion, the best. Anyone who hasn't read it, please, check it out. Trust me, the fact that it's so long is actually a good thing. And also, a side-note, this is yet another writer who I would definitely give a try, if they were ever to publish something. I'm sure I would get hooked, just as I did in this case.

"That Room"- A guess would be that this took place between the 3rd and 4th case of the first game (seems like I'm stating the obvious, but I could be wrong). Short and simple, but actually, kind of funny, if you really think about it. In a way, it seems to be making humor of Phoenix's sneaky, yet forceful investigation tactics.

I wish everyone would comment on all the fics like that. It's nice for the writers. And since these fanfics are only posted on here, I'm sure they'd appreciate the feedback.

By the way, when exactly does the voting end?O_o It said the weekend was when it was open, but it's Monday, and the voting is still open...
