BIG NEWS, EVERYBODY!!!
On April 28, 1998, Guardians of Order, a new game company based in Ontario, Canada, announced that they had just procured the license to produce the official Sailor Moon Role-Playing Game! This game will be much more than simply an RPG, it is promised to be a complete sourcebook on the entire Sailor Moon series (the manga, Bishoujo Senshi and the DiC dub) through the end of Sailor Moon R! 


    Update: June, July and August 1998, I will not be furthering the Sailor Moon Futures storyline during the summer.  This is an executive decision by me, and is designed to free up my time and mental resources to write Rock Seven.

    However. . .

    I will be writing more Sailor Moon stories over the summer of 1998, and they will be fully compatible with the Futures universe.  However, they will be side-stories and not integral to the plot of the series (though they will help to set up my next Sailor Moon Futures storyline).

    The basis of this storyline will be revealed to all at the end of Married Life chapter 12.  I promise that it will be just as fun, entertaining, romantic, et cetera et cetera et cetera. . . as Married Life.  Really.  Would I lie to you?  Intentionally, I mean?

Ratings:
PG, PG-13, R and H.

Here are the lyrics to Evil Professor Chronos's fandub version of Moonlight Densetsu (Moonlight Legend).  I now consider this to be the proper English-language translation of Moonlight Densetsu.

Moonlight Legend
English lyrics written by Mark Sprague and Austin Loomis
and performed by Jennifer Allison Wand

I want to say I'm sorry, my darling,
But I can only say it when I'm dreaming.
Even so, from the way my thoughts are fleeting,
I know that I want to be with you.

And as my tears fall down in the moonlight,
If I could get to your side by midnight,
I know that everything would be all right...
My heart's a blur.  What can I do?

And following the moonlight shining in your eyes
Two lives collide in one endless dance

The twinkling of the stars so high above us
Will lead us straight to the ones who love us
Because we two were destined for each other
It's like a miracle romance.
In this I do believe
It's like a miracle romance!

Isn't that *MUCH* better than that 'Fighting evil by moonlight' crap?  This is the version of Moonlight Legend which would be the theme song of my fanfics if they were shot as TV episodes.

My Fanfics!

*: These names are established by MixxZine.  In Darien's case, I prefer the Japanese surname "Chiba" to the English surname "Shields," so I use it.
**: "Sonya Meiou" (misspelled "Sonya Mayo" in the last version of this page) is an alias.  She is actually Princess Setsuna of the Kingdom of Pluto.

Given that I was writing stories with these character names long before DiC announced the new names for the Outer Scouts, I'm not going to rename characters so that my stories match the dub. My stories aren't precisely about the dub universe, or the original series's universe, or the manga universe.  It's a mixture of the three, and will obviously have inconsistencies with all of them, made consciously in the pursuit of a better story.  If you don't like anything I'm writing, feel free to write your own story.

Rated: PG

The first series which I wrote to receive public accolade, The Wedding is the story of the wedding of Serena and Darien, as I see it happening in my continuity.  I have no access to the final issue of the manga, so I just winged it.  Anybody seeing any resemblance to their own stories. . .  there's probably a good reason for that!

Just a romantic little Christmas story with our favorite anime couple.

Describing it would ruin it, so just read it.

Mystery Sailor Theater 3000

Episode 101: Sailor Moon:Fantasy!
Coming soon: Episode 102: Trouble in Paradise

by Mark Berger and Sailor Mac.

    Mystery Sailor Theater 3000 is a series of MSTings (humorous C&C's based on the incredibly hilarious TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000 by Best Brains, Inc.) of incredibly bad Sailor Moon "lemon" fanfics.  Although these stories include some sexual content, what they include is so ludicrous and poorly-written that it couldn't possibly be considered erotic by any stretch of the imagination.  Still, though, they are sexually explicit, even if this is in a very pathetic and poorly-written form, and shouldn't be read if you're under legal age to do so in your community (18 in most of the U.S., 21 in some areas).  If you shouldn't be reading this, then just move along.

"Love Theme from Mystery Sailor Theater 3,000"
Music by Best Brains.
Lyrics by Mark Berger.

In the not-too-distant future,
Way down in Deep 13,
Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank,
Were hatching an Evil Scheme.
They caught a girl called Sailor Moon,
Just a teenage girl who likes to sleep 'til noon,
Their experiment needed a good test case,
So they signed up with the Negaverse,
And shot her into space (GET ME DOWN!!!)

We'll send her cheesy fanfics,
The worst we can find, (la-la-la)
She'll have to sit and watch them all,
And we'll monitor her mind, (la-la-la)
Now keep in mind she can't control,
Where the fanfics begin or end, (la-la-la)
She'll try to keep her sanity,
With the help of her Sailor friends!
(whirring noise)

Sailor Roll Call:

Venus!

Jupiter!

Mercury!

Maaaars!

If you're wondering how she eats and breathes,
And other science facts, (la-la-la)
Repeat to yourself, "It's just a show,
I should really just relax,
For Mystery Sailor Theater 3,000.


In addition to my stories, I have an archive of a select group of *VERY GOOD* fanfics, including such luminaries as Jendra, Jennifer Wand, Michael "Cape-Mike" Stancel and Sailor November!  Enjoy!
Other People's Fanfics:

Sailor Moon Universal

By  "Jendra"
Time Setting: End of Sailor Moon R (1993), replaces episodes #66-83.
Naming Conventions: U.S.
Rated: PG

My all time Number One favorite Sailor Moon fanfic, Sailor Moon Universal is a long (novel-length), excellent story that, just like the Sailor Moon anime, is by turns happy, sad, romantic and funny!  As Jendra's wonderful story, an alternate ending to Sailor Moon R that picks up where Episode #65 leaves off, begins, Darien explains to Serena that he's taking a vacation, she runs, tear-blinded to school, and winds up running headlong into a new transfer student, a boy who immediately earns the attention of the entire female half of the class.  This boy, Travis Watson, surprises everybody by single-handedly improving Serena's personal habits! Has he replaced Darien in her heart, or is not all as it seems at first glance?  Find out!  This story is DEFINITELY worth downloading and spending a few hours reading!

Destiny in the Moonlight

By Sailor November
Time Setting: End of Sailor Moon R (1993), replaces episodes #66-83.
Naming Conventions: U.S.
Rated PG.

Another very nice and fun and romantic ending to Sailor Moon R, Destiny in the Moonlight removes Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond and Black Lady (I just can't bring myself to call her the dub name "Wicked Lady") in favor of a much more straightforward plot.  A lovely, romantic story with lots of good fun and arguments between Serena and Rei (Poor Darien!)

 Chapter 1
 Chapter 2
 Chapter 3
 Chapter 4
 Chapter 5

Darien's View and First Kiss: A Sailor Moon Moment

By Jennifer Wand
Time Setting: First half of Sailor Moon R (1993).
Naming Conventions: U.S.
Rated: PG

Ooh, I love these two.  If not for Jendra, Jennifer Wand would be the Queen of Sailor Moon fanfiction.  You've seen the Doom Tree Saga story arc from Serena's point of view - now read it from Darien's!  The results may surprise you!

Plus, First Kiss gives the ending to Treed that I always wished it had been given by Takeuchi-sensei.

 Darien's View
 First Kiss: A Sailor Moon Moment

Insecurities by Corina "Mako" Borsuk
You just need to read this one.  I'm sorry, but to tell any of the plot ahead of time would be to give too much of this masterpiece away.  Let's just say that it revolves around Darien and his seeming inability to say those three little words. . .
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Epilogue

This is my favorite archive, by far.  Not only does Sailor November provide plot synopses so you don't have to jump blindly into a fanfic, but she's a very nice young lady.  I strongly recommend you support her archive!
