Kura: Before you read all of the stuff below this note, we want to bring up something that's really important. It's become a huge problem lately. Please don't skip this (says around 10x through). You can skip everything else in this note and go straight to the contest results, but we really want you to read this first.
Hana: Lately the anime and manga industries have been obliterated by all of the illegal anime and manga online. I know that not everyone likes dubbed anime, but if you actually buy the DVDs then you can watch the original dubbed version with accurate subtitles.
Kura: Yeah, we know they're expensive (not as much so as in Japan...but expensive to teenage fans none the less), but is it really worth it in the long run? I mean, think about it. Sure you can watch it online for free, but what happens when the millions of dollars that the industry isn't getting starts to add up?
Hana: We'll tell you what, industries go bankrupt and close. Not too long ago, we lost ADV title, one of the only three big anime companies left in the US. Now all that's left is Funimation and 4Kids, and who ever took ADV's stuff up (but really do you think they're going to be as known?). That means that Funimation is going to be solely responsible for getting us our anime (since there aren't many people who like 4Kids, since they don't do the best job in the world). how long do you think that Funimation can keep it up?
Kura: Also, you need to think about the effects that it has on Japan. We're screwing them over too! You have to realize that if Japan goes down, then there's no more anime period. End of story. There won't be anything left. And what's worse is that people are predicting that this will happen in two years. TWO YEARS! Do any of you anime fans want to imagine life without anime? It might just happen in two short years. Think about that before you watch another illegal episode online. You can get anime at Funimation, Hulu, and Youtube/Funimation FREE AND LEGAL!!! (and for dub haters sub lovers, there's subs just for you). So watch the legit stuff, for anime's sake!
Hana: You people all love this show, so don't let it, along with the rest of the anime/manga industry get destroyed! You really can make a difference!
Kura and Hana: Talk to your friends, family, readers. Anyone you know who likes anime, convince them that they can't do this anymore! Let them know about the anime doomsday two years from now. We can guarantee that it will make them listen, if they really care about it! Just think about it! We're going to try to make a difference, and we hope that you will too.
Hana and Kura: AND CUT!
Hana: Ok you guys had a long time to get them in...
Kura: And you tried your best in everything you sent to us...
Hunny: Now we have the results!!!!
Kura: But it won't be any fun if we just read them off boringly and all monotone-like
Hana: SO, we're going to have little fun things while we announce these....like a comment answer section...OMGSH THAT WOULD BE FUN!!!!!
Kura: sweat drop did you just seriously think of that on the spot?
Hana: Yeah...so?
Kura:OK so if you don't want to read Hana's answer section just skip down til you see stuff thats written like this and those are the contest winners.
Hana: There's a lot of reviews....
Kura: What did you expect? We have 24 chapters, 73 story faves, and 60 user alerts!
Hana:Right...didn't exactly think of that...
Kura: Because you're an idiot...anyway lets go explaining the contest things while you figure out how your going to do your comment answer thing...Hitachiin brothers?
Kaoru: Ok, so we have the two first place winners that will be announced at the end of this segment.
Hikaru: We'll also name the other contest entries in sub categories.
Kura: Those being... second place, third place, so on and so fourth
Hana: FIGURED OUT A WAY!!!
Kura: Finally!
Hana: First lets mention our first sub category entry!
Hunny: The first category in the fan art contest is So Freaking Awesome That This Catergory Has to Have a Rediculously Long Title to Describe its Awesomness Accurately and the winner of that is ALittleMind!
Mori: Ah
Liza: OMG I LOOK FREAKING AWSOME!!
Alyx: You totally have to draw me next!! Please!! I'll be your bestest best friend!!
Hana: Ok! so now for the reviews! I'm going to randomly pick comments to write about (if you got a reply to this comment in the past, which is most likely, please enjoy another reply! this is for boredom's sake and for the sake of actually making an interesting authors note) so I'm going to type this into my calculator...and BANG! comment number THREE!!!
--MeiuxtheApprentice

Hana: yeah...but we already did that to episode 3...I think it was...or 2...we didn't want to do that again...
Kura: Besides we meant for it to be a quicky chapter....
Kyouya: See how well that turned out.

--yducky
I love your story! I've been reading it off and on all day! Awesome! Keep up the good...ness?--
Alyx: Goodness, awesomeness, ADDtasticness, you can pretty much as ness to the end of anything!
Kura: Doesn't make it correct automatically though.
Alyx: That doesn't matter, ness is a nice suffix.
Kura: That it is.
Hana: You two are crazy...
Hunny: I THINK WE SHOULD ANNOUNCE THE SECOND CONTEST RESULT!
Tamaki: YES! And the next result picked by Kura and Hana for the oneshot contest is Halloween Romance A Muto Oneshot by JoBros4eva!
Alyx: You have no idea how eerily accurate this is (even though Hana told you). I mean, did you read Kura and Hana's minds or something?!
Hikaru: Wait! If that's accurate then that means...glances at Alyx
Liza and Kaoru: blush
Kura: Aaaaaand now we should return to Hana's calculator.
small puff comes out of calculator
Kura: Hana...your calculator is going to explode...
Hana: NO IT'S NOT! gets message that its dead WHAT?!
Hunny: Is it broken?
Tamaki: If she keeps doing that it might just be...
Hana: slaming calculator against the desk WORK! DANG! IT!
Kyouya: What a waste of money...
Liza: Hana-
Hana: STUPID CALCULATOR throws across room and in mid air it explodes ...my...my...my calculator
Kaoru: Are you going to be ok?
Hana: MY CALCULATOR JUST EXPLODED AND YOUR ASKING IF I'M GOING TO BE OKAY!?
Hikaru: Buy a new one...
Hana: I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY A FREAKIN NEW ONE! MY CALCULATOR IS DEAD AND YOU GUYS ARE SIMPLY IGNORING THE FACT THAT I'M FREAKING OUT OVER THIS INCIDENT?!
Kura: It's just a calculator...you never use it anyway...
Hana: YOUCALCULATORHATERS!!!!!!!! runs off
Kura: Ok...so I guess we go on to the rest of the results?
Alyx: Sounds best...
Mori: Ah.
Kura: The runners up for the oneshot contest are Haruka Oujo and Haname. They were both so good, that we litterally couldn't pick between the two and I didn't want one of you to get shorted because of unfair dice (translation: it was gonna be up to a dice roll).
Alyx: And the runner up for the fanart contest is fledglingphoenix! You know who you are (we loved your chibis too, Haname)!
Kura and Alyx: Congratulations! You get...honorable mention!
Hikaru: What kind of prize is that?
Kura: The only kind of prize we can really give...
Kaoru: So they worked hard on the contests and all you're giving them is honorable mention?
Kura: If you two have such and issue with it, go hug them or something! Though Kyouya, you need to hug Fledglingphoenix.
Hikaru and Kaoru: Will do! Haname and Haruka Oujo get a twins hug
Kura and Hana: NO FAIR!! I WANT ONE!!
Alyx: And now we know not to tell them to do something if we're going to get jealous about it.
Kyouya: hugs Fledglingphoenix despite the blatant OoCness
Everyone: Congrats winners and runners up! Thanks for entering!
Hana: We'll get those forms for the winners to fill out in a short bit...we've got to edit the ones we have first
Kura: So be on the look out for our PMs!
Everyone: Hope to see you again soon!
