What number is this? 6? 7? 10? Eh, who cares. It’s another newsletter, and with it, another guest. So please, everyone give a hand for Sakuya, whom we have as guest from the alternate reality of my Shin Tenchi tapes.
Jaf: It’s always a pleasure to have you here on the newsletter, Sakuya.
Sakuya: Of course it is. I’m Sakuya, after all, the one who finally wins Tenchi’s heart once and for all. I mean, who can deny that I, Sakuya, am the one who truly deserves the love of the only suitable guy in the Tenchi universe, the main star himself? Who can not see that I am the queen to his Jurain emperor, the shine to his eternally burning star, the wings to his ever-flying angel, the Mrs to his, uh, Mr? So of course it is a pleasure for a peion like you to have a star like me on your show. For after all, I have achieved the thing that every woman in the Tenchi universe, either through series or fanfiction, has sought out and has failed to come up with.
J: Uh, you might want to tone it down a bit. I mean, this is the AFC and there are a lot of Aeka fans reading this. It wouldn’t be proper for you to badmouth-
S: I’ll badmouth whoever I want! Whoever I dangwell please!! I AM SAKUYA!! WHO ARE YOU TO SAY WHO I CAN AND CAN NOT BAD MOUTH?!! WHO ARE YOU BUT SOME SIMPELTON LITTLE RUNT WHO SHOULD BE KISSING MY DIRTY FEET?!! IN FACT HELL WITH THEM!! HELL WITH RYOKO!! HELL WITH THE WHOLE HOUSE!! HELL WITH AEKA!! HELL WITH-
J: What did you say?!
S: I said hell with them!!! HELL WITH THEM ALL!! HELL WITH-
J: You said hell with Aeka!!
S: Uh, Yeh! I guess I did!! In fact, to hell with all of-
J: Good work War!
S: Meow meow!! (War gives a furry thumbs up)
Well, that concludes our interview. To see Sakuya’s untimely demise (thought I can not guarantee it being as bloody and greusome as took place here) just keep buying Shin Tenchi and supporting the dwindling Tenchi era.
As for news, the biggest and most important would have to be the members section. And, for all you who do not know by now, the members section is a giant story that many people have worked very hard on. Everybody’s a character, and if you’re not up there quite yet, you will be as soon as we can get our acts together. And, anyone who would like to write a member chapter themselves can just email me and I will set you up with one to write. You can do whatever you want with it, and twist the story however you like. There will be no edits or cuts from your chapter.
We’ve had an explosion of new members, and for everybody who’s been passing the word around (Lita and K’thardin have been mentioned), keep up the goodwork!
The story this time comes to us from Literary Eagle and Seion, two very gifted authors (you might remember that Literary won best fanfic award on Gensao’s site, last vote tally). It is called Startica Song and here’s the link, just in case the download screws up: A Startica Song at GenSao’s Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction Archive. As always, thank you to Gensao for letting us link to his fanfics on his site. If someone wants to attach a fic to a newsletter, just email me and I’ll set you up.
Well, that’s about it,
Jaf.
