Dear Infinity Sparks,
It’s been fixed, and you can feel free to tell either of us about any errors you spot. Whichever one of us sees it first can fix them.
That might become a possibility somewhere down the road (and I’d sure love for it to work out that way), but for now, we’re taking turns answering letters individually.
And as far as I know, the only real purpose for the tags is to clarify if a letter is meant for a moderator rather than a character, so it really doesn’t matter which one(s) you choose. You can just use the “to mod” tag for letters to all three of us, if you prefer.
Dear supercykes,
Yes, but only for sprites in the courtroom and in her waitress outfit. If others exist, we haven’t found them, so we’ll have to stick to the Mod’s gifs for when she’s speaking directly to the player.

Dear Annoying Anon,
Technically, Phoenix already saw her in the outfit, so it’s not entirely private. Besides, who ever heard of privacy on the internet?

Dear Roadhog360,
I put the translation in a tag for that letter -- that’s what it was, not a comment I was making. Sorry if that was confusing.
Dear C Ranked Gouken,
Thanks for your concern, but I’m not too worried. We have some good lawyers here if we ever need them.
Dear John,
I glanced through the inbox, but I didn’t run into any of your letters. It could be that the Mod removed them, that we just haven’t reached them yet, or that Tumblr botched them up (the latter being the most likely). You can try resending them if you still want them to be answered.
Also, while I’m at it, I apologize for Mod letters taking so long to be answered. We’ll try to answer them at least once a week if it’s possible, in keeping with the Mod’s methods.
Dear naitomeruu,
I haven’t read any Ace Attorney fanfics, so you’ll have to fill me in there. In any case, we’ll most likely keep our identities a secret for the time being, but I will say this much -- one of us is from the U.S. and the other is from Canada. How cool is that?
The Modthorne has gone by that nickname since I’ve known her (referring to her favorite Ace Attorney character), and I sort of came up with my nickname on the spot. Sorry if they weren’t what you expected, but that’s life.

Dear Inferno,
Thanks! I can’t take all the credit for it, though. The submitter practically asked for Dhurke’s catchphrase in the way they wrote the letter. In fact, I don’t think I would’ve seen the joke there if I hadn’t recently read a similar letter while scrolling through the inbox. Thank goodness great minds think alike.
Dear FernandoLemon,
Heh heh! Thanks! I’m a big fan of double meanings, and I thought that was a pretty cool movie too. I’m super glad that our writing styles are working to make the characters “sound” the way they should, and I’m also glad they’re hard to tell apart. Here’s one thing you can know for sure – I won’t be answering my own letters. I mean, that would just be weird.
And yeah, we have our disagreements about some of the characters (Dahlia especially), but we’re both big fans of the series, which is all that matters to me.
As of right now, there are 17 letters in the queue (and I’m about to add some more), but the inbox has a total of 2,421 unanswered letters. It’s both daunting and exciting to see such a high number in the inbox.
Dear SC,
(Yay, I’m doing good!)
Thank you for the feedback. I actually hadn’t ranked the games before, so it was mostly off the top of my head. I graded each one mainly by how much it affected or impressed me. While they all contain meaningful stories and fun gameplay, there are only a few that really immersed me in the plot and made me feel like it was really happening. (Dual Destinies even made me drop my jaw at one point!) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Apollo Justice were enjoyable, but they didn’t quite “grab” me in the same way. Not to mention, the first game contained a lot more foul language and innuendo, which just aren’t my thing.
The most underrated characters in my opinion would be Maggey Byrde, Adrian Andrews, Iris, Rhoda Teneiro, Lauren Paups, and Apollo Justice. Sure, they’re not always the best people, but you can’t fault them for not caring, can you?
And I’m going to guess you were joking about Iris, but in case you weren’t, I was referring to her sister. Iris is awesome.
