Commentary on A Bluff to Remember

This is the first of my commentaries on my fics. I don’t know if anyone will be interested in reading these, but that doesn’t matter, because I want to write them.

This first one, on A Bluff to Remember, focuses a lot on how I came to be writing it and to be writing anything at all, but in future ones there will be more about why I made certain decisions, pointing out various things I did in the fics, and explaining what I had in mind where there wasn’t a place in the fic to say something explicitly. (There is a bit of that in this post too; if that’s all you’re interested in feel free to jump to the “Points of Interest” cut.) Some of this (in particular the pointing out things I did) may or may not already be clear to the reader. I want to comment on it because I honestly don’t know whether or not people will pick up on these things. (I welcome any “I see what you did there” comments on any of my fics, or on these commentary posts, so I can be happy to discover at least some of my readers did catch some of these!)

A warning: there may be spoilers in these commentaries. Obviously for my fics, but also for canon. With regards to Ace Attorney (which is the only fiction-based fandom I have posted for so far), I am currently not very far through Apollo Justice, and don’t envisage needing to refer to any of that (I will mention on the post in question if I do do so), but I may reference anything from the original trilogy.
