(Letters from the authors)
To everyone who read this crazy bit of insanity,
First, I just have to say thank you to everyone who actually read Juuban High. Personally, I still find it hard to believe that anyone besides Elise and I would actually find humour in this stuff. It's really nothing more than random insanity at its finest. It almost hurts to say that there will never be anymore of this story written. Originally, I wanted us to finish it before high school ended. Oh, how naive I was... you know, we just aren't quite so weird anymore. I don't consume far more Mountain Dew than one person ever should, and honestly, that was the main motivation for everything ever done in this story.
I know Elise talked about what she thought would have ended up happening in the story, or things she wanted to happen, so I'm going to be different. Why? Because I can be, silly! I'm going to just run down some of my favourite things, running gags and characters and whatnot, from the story. First, the entire wigger saga. Having gone to a high school where this was pretty prevalent, this saga really does hold a special place in my heart. It never fails to entertain me. Goku being set on fire never gets old, and neither does him eating everything in sight. "Late, late, late, late breakfast. Right before early, early, early lunch!" XD Gohan singing the Piccolo song is probably the best mental image ever. Tristan being killed repeatedly, the neo-Nazi that he is. Ravi as a whole, because it gave me material to tease him with for the longest time (XD). Everything must be CLEARLY MARKED! "KAWAII!" Poor, poor Sonya, everyone hated her. Which is funny, because in real life, I like her quite a bit. And of course, my absolute favourite character in all of Juuban High - no, not Trunks... and no, not even me! - None other than Eric, of course. Really, he should be everyone's favourite. If he's not, what's wrong with you?
Anyway! Now that I'm done going through just some of my favourites (and I'm sure I'll think of more after I've sent this off to be posted...), I'm sorry to say, this is pretty much officially the end of Juuban High. Thanks again, everyone!

A brief letter to the readers of Juuban High (I know you're out there):
Well, here I am about five years after Carrie and I lost our minds and started to write about two Grade 10 girls (tentatively named and modelled – to a point – after ourselves) who were suddenly enrolled in a school full of anime characters.
There were many sleepless nights filled with Mountain Dew and insanity where we would write about ten chapters in one sitting, ki blasting random characters, pointing out strange thing we'd noticed about anime and then creating even stranger things.
We even added not so anime bassed characters, like most of my family (my actual family – and there are still two of them we were going to add but stopped before we could), the old Raptors line-up and some of our strange friends from our school. Ravi, Yvonne, Mary, 'that red-headed chick', all real people, though we took a few liberties…
(And I quote from Ravi's Review:) "First of all I'd like to point out that I AM NOT GAY! Not that there is anything wrong with being gay, but I just am not. It is true that Inu yasha, Quatre, and Gohan are some of my favorite characters. But unlike some people out there(you know who you are) I don't fall in love with 2-D, non-existent characters!"
He's just a ball of fluff, honest.
But as we got older, we wrote less and less, and then we just didn't write anymore (I think Day 66 was written in '03). I suppose 33 chapters each is enough for anyone.
One can assume there are plans to finish this… all 200-some chapters that there should be… There was even a time when Ravi was going to write a week for us. But I unfortunately there will be no more than a chapter 66.
So this is goodbye, though we both still write Fan Fics from time to time, and I know I will always have a fond memory of this completely insane story. If you want my honest opinion of what was going to happen: Carrie and Trunks eventually get married, Youji cracks and joins Omi in canary land, Ravi and Eric kill each other off in a death match and Elise and Aoi go deeper into the folds of insanity until they are never heard from again.
And I suppose the school blows up... again.
Ja!

Dearest and fondest readers,
It is I, the unsung hero of Juuban High, Eric Jeffrey Haskell. No, don't get up, please. I don't deserve your kind and exuberant applause… Ok, maybe I do.
My dear sister Elise didn't want me writing a letter, how easily she forgets that I wrote about my journeys as well! Oh the good ol' days, when Tasuki and I were together. Oh, it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about all those moments when we were as one! How long has it been? Five years!
My time flies when you're having fun. Five years since my twin sister and her best friend, dear gentle golden-haired object of my… Uh, where was I? Oh right, since Elise Carrie and I wrote and lived Juuban High.
The days were long, and the nights nonexistent, but boy-oh-boy was it a blast!
VIVE LA RESISTANCE!
-Eric
