Definitely. Phoenix Wright is a classic example of a visual novel. It presents a complex narrative through static images, text dialogues, and decision-making points for the player.
No, it's not just a visual novel. Phoenix Wright games often incorporate elements of mystery-solving, courtroom drama, and interactive decision-making.
Yes, there are quite a few. You can find them on fanfic platforms like Archive of Our Own. Some focus on exploring her backstory in the context of the Ace Attorney universe, while others might create unique crossovers with other series.
Well, 'Love in the Courtroom' is another great one. It combines the courtroom drama aspect that is so characteristic of the Phoenix Wright series with the budding relationship between Phoenix and Iris. The fanfic is full of suspense, just like in the games, and at the same time, it weaves in the romantic elements very skillfully.
One challenge is maintaining the integrity of both universes. For example, if you're crossing over Phoenix Wright with a very different franchise like Star Wars, you have to make sure the legal aspects of Phoenix Wright fit in with the space - opera setting of Star Wars. You can't just throw in Phoenix's courtroom scenes without making it believable in that new universe.
One popular theme is the exploration of gender - how Phoenix Wright's character changes and interacts in a female - presenting form. Another is relationship - building, like her relationships with other characters from the game in new and different ways.
Fanfiction.net also has some. However, the tagging system there might not be as refined as AO3. So you may need to do a bit more digging. You could also try checking out some Ace Attorney - specific fan forums. Sometimes fans will share their own fanfics or recommend ones they've read in those forums.
You can start by looking on fanfiction.net. It has a large collection of 'phoenix wright fan fiction'. Just search for the relevant tags and you'll find a variety of stories.
The plot needs to be engaging. It could involve elements from the original games, like courtroom battles, and then add the romantic aspect between them. For example, a case that somehow brings them closer together in an unexpected way. It should also have a good flow, not be too rushed or too slow.
There's also 'Phoenix Wright in the World of Harry Potter'. In this fanfic, Phoenix finds himself in the magical world. He has to use his courtroom skills to navigate the strange laws and customs of Hogwarts. It's really fun to see how he interacts with the magical characters and tries to prove the innocence of some wrongly accused students.
