I am officially closing the Ace Attorney icon family!  But please do not consider this a bad thing.  I feel like the icon family has lived a long, successful life full of its ups and downs and now, after a rather long period of silence, I believe it is safe to finally put it to rest.  Thank you to everyone who participated!  You all have my gratitude.  But please, do not lose interest in the Ace Attorney series just because the icon family is over.  After all, Ace Attorney 5/Dual Destinies will be releasing in the near future.  Please continue to show your support for this great series, and once again, thanks to all of those who participated!

For those interested, I will be keeping this group active (as in not deactivated) for the memory of the group.
Thanks again!

:bulletred: Mayane Tayke: Ace attorney
Greetings Ace attorney (or if you're feeling cultural, 'Gyakuten Saiban') fans!
Do you miss playing new cases of  Ace attorney? Well team 'Gyakuten Sisters' have got you covered!
A couple of my friends and I are currently in production of our own Ace attorney game. For official art and news, please visit our blog. gyakutensisters.wordpress.com/
The cases in our fan game will include our own original characters and sprites (using the Judge and the odd Prosecutor Payne as the only official characters used) and our own original cases written by the whole team to invent the most interesting cases possible. Due to the wonders of the internet, you can also play it like you would for any other Ace attorney game. That's right- cross examinations and penalties await the player! In fact, there will even be our own version of the magatama (with a twist to keep it interesting) in future cases.

So what are you waiting for? ''Mayane Tayke: Ace attorney''  (Case 1) is ready to play at the link below! Enjoy and please let us know what you think!

Sorry no theme this month. :c
(Everyone seems to be busy.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:bulletred:  Icon Theme Rules
-  To join a theme, just edit your icon to match it.  You are not supposed to use a new icon entirely.  Doing so may put you in the "possibly inactive members" list.  If you are worried of this, just comment a message or send a note to midori-kitty.

- Remember this theme is supposed to last only a month.  While you will not be tracked down for using the icon at other times of the year, it is highly recommended you return to your usual icon after the theme is over.

:bulletred:Icon Help

Since it's been so long, I'd like to redo our icon helping team.  If anyone is willing to work on icons please comment. ;u; Thank you.
Likewise, if anyone would like help, just comment, and I'll see if I can get you any help.  No promises, though. u__u


:bulletred:  Also worthy of mention!~  We still have no one to take care of this journal. :c
If anyone is interested, please comment or send a note to midori-kitty.
In this position, you will have the main voice in deciding themes and you will also get a spot in our creative ideas crew! (Which is to say, you'll have a say in the events we do.)
A requirement to joining will be to make a Wikia account, so you can update the icon themes section.  I'll give more details in a note if you're interested.

_______________
Helpful links: iaza.com (Can create simple animations with no download!), GIMP (The best, legal, no-cost replacement for Photoshop~), Paint.net (A simpler, no-cost replacement for editing than GIMP, but be aware, it lacks the ability to make animations.)

Note: At this time, this is not a place to get a new icon altogether. (Unless there are people willing to take up that task.)
I've decided to just start the board over all together!  So if you want to be in it, please give your usernames here!

So far these people have been signed up:
