	Now that Endless Nights has been posted, I need to clarify many things
concerning that and the many other fics I currently have in progress. 
If you've read any of my stories or plan to read any in the future,
this message is for you.

	The most profound problem with my writings is a lack of planning. 
When I started, I had not known the scope of what I was writing and how
it would effect future stories.  Now that I look back, I can see many
flaws in the decisions I have made, mostly in the past but a few of
late.  The worst of which, is the decision to link Full Circle to a
multitude of other stories that had almost no reason to be associated
with Full Circle.  To fix this, I give the following announcements:

	Honor Bound is no longer in production.  The story of Honor Bound was
severely lacking and now it contradicts the universe it was placed in. 
It will be recycled to be perhaps used in a future fic, although I can
almost guarantee that it will no portray myself.  I have come to the
decision that I no longer like having any characters resembling myself,
so after Endless Nights there will be no more stories, timeline-wise,
using the Adam Leigh character.  To summarize, consider the story
non-existent, and banish it from your minds.

	The Heroes We Love is no longer part of the Full Circle universe,
however, it's own universe has been created that will include future
stories already in production.

	Prelude To Adventure, formally associated with The Heroes We Love,
formerly associated with Full Circle, has been abandoned as well.  The
plot, characters, and one of the scenes will be transplanted into a new
fic that will be part of the Heroes We Love universe.

	A Double Edged Sword, technically is no longer in production. 
Unofficially, the plot has been transplanted into it's own universe and
given a new name that cannot be released at this time.  The prologue to
the original ADES is retained and may be slightly revised under the new
name.

	Slayers Requiem is no longer part of the Full Circle universe, and is
pending total revision.  As mentioned above, this fic had little to
absolutely no planning to it, so only time will tell.

	For as far as I can see, the Full Circle Universe will be:

1992  The Adventures Of Darien
1996  Full Circle: The Tenchi Muyou Episodes
2043  Imperfect Image: 2043
2050  Imperfect Image: 2050
2069  Imperfect Image: 2069
  -   Endless Nights


[UPDATE]
	Update is in order of preferred completion:

	Endless Nights part two is being written, abet very slowly.  The
integration of the plot outline I've created into the actual story
proved to be more difficult than expected.

	The Prologue for Imperfect Image: 2043 is written, as well as the
first two parts, but they are going through second and third revisions
to work the bugs out and so that I don't clutter up the Full Circle
timeline with things that I won't be able to resolve during the story.

	You'll be glad to know that As Dark As Knight is planned out to the
end and part two is still in production.  I can't even guess how long
it will be before this part is released though.

	Planet Of Twilight is the story of the reign of Emperor Tenchi on
Planet Jurai.  While I have a lot of ideas and even a few scenes, I
haven't yet had enough initiative to put the pieces together to form an
episode.

	The Thrill Of The Chase, a YUA/Ice Blade crossover, is written, but
it's pretty shoddy.  Too many mystical elements from the Sailor Moon
universe made their way into the story.  It's being edited and possibly
rewritten before release.

	The Organization is a proposed original fic that may be written to
explain the origins of the infamous group in 'The Heroes We Love.'  It
should take place in 1981 in Manhattan, New York.  The final decision
on this fic has yet to be made.

	Finally, a novel-like story is fresh in the mind right now and has the
best chance of being written.  It takes place in the Silver Millennium
and will appear to be an original fic at first but elements from the
Silver Millennium will pour in quickly after the third chapter.  The
style of storytelling comes from the ingenious mind of Raymond E. Fiest
this time, his Riftwar Saga being the prime inspiration.
