Third post today. I just spent some time on the Sailor Moon Wiki. Sooo confused ... so many canons to keep straight.... No wonder I threw up my hands in despair when trying to write that Sailor Moon fic. I think I made a couple of errors in plot points that I'll need to get corrected. I'm trying to mostly follow the anime, with the exception of a couple of manga and live-action elements to flesh out the Shitennou's backstories and personalities when not under Beryl's control.
I remember another point of frustration was that people would read, but they wouldn't review. And I really wanted some help in knowing whether I was getting characterizations right. You know, I don't have one review on that thing from an actual Sailor Moon fan, except the very latest one, which wasn't very helpful? Two friends were reading, neither of whom were familiar with Sailor Moon, then someone popped in just to comment on Dr. Portman skipping fandoms between Sailor Moon and Detective Conan (actually, I figure each of those fandoms are in their own separate verses, as I don't like to think of either of them existing in the same verse with more realistic fandoms), and then someone popped in to talk about Sailor Moon Crystal as though I was unaware of it and oh, by the way, great story, keep it coming.
Mama Mia.
