My Dear Friends and Readers,

I have had a epiphany, and must endeavor to set things right.

I owe all of you an apology: HVK, N.C. Pyschick, Dagger1211, golder emperor, themax, schizo and proud, Goldfishgal, Raven's Girlfriend, Darkest Midnight, Hekatie, Malcore Xan'thex, Sinistra250, TameranianRaven, Squeege779, DarkWindingRose, Simply CC, staticsponge123, XRR, Terra Logan, outlawarcher, KaiWren, dragonking112, iajdsfljefo, Angel Vanilla, gothic kid 13, xXxMidnightxXx, PlayFulKitty07, Snipe-Master-Hex, Lady of Faerie, Gaarasama, The Master of Skittles, Absentia, Visigoth29527, JulesFire, MisstressofAzarath, Azrial Saotome, RouJoumis, BeastWithin, DarkChild5, wsudragongal, artemisgirl, themax, Tears of a Phoenix, warprince2000, Isis Loveright, dannyspudge, d-Dei, liljimmyurine, sillymail, gosscliff, quite-a-shame, Dove of Night, Lost Inside, DarkSpades, Shadow290, Techna, Lessa-13-2004, and everyone else who has read or reviewed my stories.

The two times I have been reprimanded by this ff site have been with good reason, and I apologize for my use of offensive language, and deceitful use of fanfiction as a vessel for inappropriate social commentary.

I am truly sorry to all whom I have transgressed against, with my snide commentary, arrogant attitude, and crude sexual innuendos.

I am sorry for the comments written under the pseudonym of 'Brain,' whose use of threats and hurtful language is not funny.

I apologize to those whose names I have carelessly misspelled, or utilized without permission.

I apologize for penning self-serving 'props,' for the sole purpose of soliciting reviews.

I apologize for breaking up story lines with needless and gratuitous sexual encounters and violence.

I apologize for heedlessly rushing stories to publication without first having them beta read, in order to garner a following of readers.

Dear Mr. Beast Guy, (Maybe you can get Raven to call you that.)

I feel a strange compulsion to write back to you, very politely, and apologize profusely.

I think I finally get it. I'm going to make sure that any stories I write in the future will stay away from any tasteless sexual innuendo. And Raven's character will be treated with the utmost respect.

I also realize that I have been most unkind as concerns your character. Book-learning 'smarts' are not everything, witness myself. I am a miserable failure, and am reduced to writing second-rate fictional stories about a cartoon to feed my battered ego. I have been taking the path of least resistance, and going for easy laughs, by making crude jokes at the expense of you and your friends.

You exhibit a lot of common sense traits that I, (and some of your team-mates,) can learn from. You are brave, as you demonstrated by writing me a letter, knowing that Raven would disapprove. You are a good friend, and loyal to the team. You possess tremendous abilities, which you choose to use in the service of doing good in the world. You have better fashion sense than one (who shall remain unnamed.) All in all, a very impressive resume.

I am sorry for any grief I have caused you. I am sorry for not giving you the proper credit due a superhero of your caliber. I am sorry for insulting your friends, and causing discontent among the Teen Titans.

If you can find it in your big green heart to forgive me; please, please, put in a good word for me with your empathetic and multi talented team-mate Miss Roth. I will be forever indebted to you.

Please keep this to yourself. (I know I can trust you!) The reason I have been writing stories about the Teen Titans, elevating Raven above the other Titans, and placing her in ridiculous love-affair situations, is because of my own feelings for her. I know it is silly for me to profess love for one so unreachable, and that is why I write about her in preposterous situations.

The most preposterous of all would be the one in which she could return my feelings for her.

It is just a feeble attempt to bury my feelings of unrequited love for your incomparable team-mate.

One such as her: so beautiful; so talented; so intelligent; so worldly-wise; possessed of such immense, awful powers-she could never concern herself with one such as I. I know that were I to confess my feelings to her, I would only be accused of being obsessive, and a stalking-threat.

I shall continue to suffer in silence, and adore her from afar. If I write any stories, I will treat you all with the respect you have earned, and deserve.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of corresponding with you. I know your time is valuable.

Your friend, and loyal fan,

Vincent

P.S. If there is anything I can do for you, just ask it. I will do all in my power to grant a favor to you, my gallant green friend.
