Ukyo: Argh! Shampoo! You didn't have to break the door down!! Shampoo: gomen... No worry spatula girl, Ryan sleep through world-war three. Ukyo: Hurry up! I thought you said you knew how to use these things? Shampoo: I do! Just... Ryan has all his programs named funny... Ukyo: "Named funny??" kinda like "Shampoo??" Shampoo: Ah, here we go! This PHD 3! Shampoo: Aiya, Shampoo not know you such a pervert Spatula girl! And in front of Ranma and Tsubasa no less... Ukyo: Uh.. lets uh.. skip this part... Shampoo: Aiya!!! What Ryan DOING!!!! Ukyo: I can't believe he wrote this! PHD was a pretty good series before, but now this?!? He's going to ruin everything! Shampoo: Who care if good story or not! He dragging proud Amazons through mud!!! Ryan pay for this... Ukyo: Not now Shampoo, You can beat him later, when I can help... but for now, we've got to do something about this!! Shampoo: There! Now can write better story in place! Ukyo "Ranma say "I love you Shampoo! I always have! Lets get married right now! I never really cared about violent- tomboy or Spatula girl!" Shampoo: Is good story! Go over well on FFML, you think? Ryan: wha.. what are you two doing?? Shampoo: Aiya! Ukyo: Ah.. er... Ryan.. uh... what are you doing up at this hour? We were just, you know... reading over the advanced copy of PHD 3. Ryan Oh? And what did you think? Ukyo: Ah, well... you know... It was pretty good. Ryan: Really? You think so? Oh I'm so glad, I was really worried... ... wah??? What is this!! Ukyo:Ah well, you know... we just sorta thought it could use a little editing, that's all.... Ryan: WHY YOU... Shampoo: You promised Shampoo that this her story! Ukyo: Yeah, just like he "promised" the FFML he'd have it done 3 weeks ago... Shampoo: But all you do is drag Amazon name through muck! You getting away from real story, and Shampoo no let you get away with that! And worst of all, SHAMPOO NO GET RANMA!!! Ryan: hmm... this isn't that bad... heck, maybe I was wrong to try to incorporate that off- the-wall idea (and you pre-readers know what I'm talking about) about the amazons into this story. Maybe this set back was just what I needed... *** Yup, that's right folks, I'm completely re-writing PHD 3! I know, your all waiting for it and its been intermedibly delayed already, but the reason it was taking so long to write was that I was getting too far from the heart of the story and trying to incorporate some really wacky ideas about how the structure of the Amazon's worked. Don't worry, for those of you who read fore-mentioned idea and liked it, I'm not abandoning it, I'm just not going to put it in this fic... I'll probably write a completely new one revolving around that particularly-bizarre idea... ;) So yes, PHD 3 is going to be delayed *again* but this time I think the writing will go much faster, so all you pre- readers, I still have your names on file and will send it out to you all as soon as I have more to go on. The new plot line will be much less action-oriented and more into exploring the inter-personal relationships than the previous one. Sorry about the extended delay (sigh, I really hate working full time... College was so much easier an environment to write in.) Ja ne! Ryan
