Fictional Fans

Aah I'm so envious you get to play it for the first time! Man that would be such a good antidote for the times we're living in right now, lol.

The fandom IS very friendly and welcoming, but also diffused through a whole bunch of different platforms.
There don't appear to be any ACTIVE comms on DW, but there is a TON of great art and discussion on Tumblr, plenty of Discords, and the AO3 tags are always hopping.

The thing about AA is because it's such a huge canon with so many characters, there's so many different interests people have within the fandom. It's great because that's what keeps the fandom alive, but not so great if you find you're really into one pairing or whatever and that pairing happens not to be in fashion at the moment. (My mamegoma icon here is Phoenix and Edgeworth, if it's not obvious!)

But the kinkmeme is still going strong, I believe it is the longest running fandom kinkmeme of all? I keep tabs on it by following anon_press-- forgive me, I'm still re-learning how to do the DW coding on here. It's this comm: https://anon-press.dreamwidth.org/

They have a daily roundup of all the new posts and prompts. (Though I'd hold off on perusing the KM until you've finished the first trilogy, at least, if you want to avoid spoilers lol! At this point I think everyone considers the first trilogy like a basic history we were all taught in school!)
