        It is with a certain amount of transient sadness that I announce
that I can no longer deny the call of my soul, and must set aside worldly
things, such as fanfiction, in order to join a local Budhist monastery.

        I realize that this will cause even greater sorrow among those who
have found pleasure in my writings, and so have sought to ameliorate this
sadness by giving other authors my private notes and encouraging them to
continue where I leave off.  Each I have asked has gladly consented.  And so
I thank Mr. Christopher Angel for volunteering to continue the story of
"Evangelion: Kawari no Scenario", and Mr. Fred Herriot the story "Together
Again: 2937 Chapter".  Mr. Sean Gaffney has graciously consented to extend
his partnership with Mr. Jeff Hosmer, begun for the purposes of writing
"Trials and Errors", to continue the story of Athena and Sheila Ten'kai.
The mysterious individual known as Cherry Tiger volunteered to continue the
story "Bubblegum Chakram".  Lastly, Ms. Jeanne Hedge will finish "Chris
1/2".  I regret increasing these worthy individuals burden by further tying
their karma to my own, but I would regret more the tension of denying the
call longer than I already have.

        And now, farewell.  May you too come to realize the path to
enlightenment.

He Who Was Christopher Davies.

Happy April Fools, by the way.
