We interrupt this fanfiction to bring you this important Bulletin.

          Shen here.  I must say that I am totally amazed at how popular my story is among all of you Escaflowne fans.  It was just something I started writing because I thought Esca needed more… well, just more of Esca.  If that makes any sense…

Audience: *Blank stare*….

Shen: Eh heh heh…Right.  So anyway, I just wanted everyone to know why I haven't been writing recently.  Well, it's the government.  And Sunrise.  See, they're part of a joint conspiracy out to quelsh the creativity of young minds.  And to force those young minds to buy X-boxes.  Yes, X-boxes.  It turns out the friggin things are that big for a reason.  They're filled with pure evil, and contain devices which warp a child's mind into liking such things as "Canned Cheese" and "Spam"…. *shivers*

Gobano: LIES!!!  ALL LIES!!  The HUman merely decided that porn and chicken was a better waste of time!!  He's a pervert, and fattens himself on the crusty breaded meats of greasy poultry! 

Shen: Hey!!  Fried Chicken is good!  And I do NOT look at porn!

Gobano: Oh no?  Then what's THIS!!!? *whips out a magazine that says "I am l33t pr0n.  Ph33r m3."  And has a crudely drawn female on it*

Shen: …. That's a pathetic excuse for magazine you cut out of some cardboard boxes.

Gobano: YOU MAY HAVE WON THE BATTLE NOW, PUNY SHEN-THING, BUT ONE DAY I WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH, AND YOU SHALL SUFFER SCREAMING DOOMY DOOM!!!

Shen: Yeah, anyway, what I really want to say is that I haven't stopped the story.  Due to school and the fact that I haven't watched Escaflowne for quite some time, my creativity is in a bit of a rut, and I don't want the next chapter to be garbage.  So, until I get Escaflowne and watch it again (which will be on my next paycheck, hopefully…) to kick start my creativity again, I'll have to keep the story on a temporary hiatus.  But that just means it'll be all the better once the next chapter right?  Right.  So in the meantime, I leave you with GIR.  GIR?

GIR: *falls down from the ceiling* HI!!!!

Shen: Enjoy.
