 SlyLilia 2009-11-15 . chapter 18I read this story a really, really, really, long time ago. Back when there was a really cool pic of the two faces of Princess Serena and Warrior Serena. Thought I would search to see if I had made it all up in my head. Glad that I found your story again! Fabulous work btw. It got me hooked on FanFic. |
 Jenbunny 2009-09-18 . chapter 18Loved it!! I finally finished it and I just adored this story. Very well written. Thank you for taking the time to write and share it. |
 Jenbunny 2009-09-15 . chapter 7I just found this story today and fell in love with it. It is a very very very well written fic. I love all parts of it, the way you've put all of the orginal characters in here and made them someone I could recognize by their personalities but at the same time given them something new and original. I really really love this story. The plot is wonderful, all the little details to well everything. Thank you so much for writing it. I wanted to read it all tonight since it is such a wonderful little story, but alas it is 4:30 in the morning and I don't think I can read another chapter. I will be back tomorrow to read more of it. Again, thank you for writing it can't wait to be able to read more! I am definitely favoriting this story and you as an author btw. |
 Henna Ryans 2009-09-03 . chapter 18This story is bloody fantastic!! One of the best that I've come across. You have a talent for writing my dear. :) |
 MoonlightMaiden14 2009-08-13 . chapter 18I will admit that I did stumble on this story a few times before actually deciding to read it. Sometimes having Serenity disguise herself as a man annoys me which is the main reason I turned away the first few times. But oh, am I glad I didn't this time.
This story was beyond amazing. It truly was. Words can't express how grateful I feel at this moment towards you for writing such a creative, original story like this one.
The details were absolute and clear. I could see the whole story like a movie. The characters were consistent and strong. I loved them. And even though the romance wasn't a main point like I had wished, it was enough for a story like this one.
Thank you for writing this. I won't forget it.
Take care,

 MoonlightMaiden14 2009-08-11 . chapter 9Once again, I noticed a mistake you may want to correct. It probably came from the programs mistake or something like that. At the end of this chapter, you have two repeating sentence for what Mina is observing about Serenity, one is in italic, the other is not. I thought you'd want to delete one of those. :D
Story is still amazing, by the way. |
 MoonlightMaiden14 2009-08-11 . chapter 3I usually wait until I finish a story to review, but I noticed a mistake you might want to fix. Towards the end of the chapter, when Luna is speaking to Serenity, she actually calls her Serenity. Now, I went back to this chapter to review this because I noticed that you had send in the chapter I'm reading that it was the first time she used her real name, and I thought you may want to correct the mistake in this chapter to clear up any possible confusion. :)
On a side note, I'm loving the story so far, but wish there would be more romance with Endymion and Serenity. They haven't even met yet!
Well, let me continue reading... |
 Haruko 2009-07-30 . chapter 18 Wow... just simply wow. I havent read something this good in so long! And so i would like to say thank you for sharing your wonerful talents! I really enjoyed reading it and I loved that the chapters were so long. So little grammatical errors and such.
One thing though, I realized as I was reading ch. 17, what happened to the sword that she bought back when she went on that trip in the market? It never came up.
BUT! The story still ended very well! Im even wondering as to how the published version will turn out. ^^ Good luck and keep writing!
p.s. this is the longest review ive written... ever. |
 Celebrien 2009-07-18 . chapter 18I just found your story the other day, and I'm blown away. This is SO fantastic! Oh please, rewrite it into something and publish it, I would buy it in a heartbeat! :D You are a very gifted author, thank you! |
 LovelyLynn 2009-06-05 . chapter 18It took me a little while to read this(A couple days). Had to use my friends... hehehe But I just loved this a lot. I hope that you do get it publised as original. It would be one that I would be happy to buy. |
 SailorNeo 2009-06-01 . chapter 18I have to say that I really enjoyed this story. Each of the characters had a lot of depth and were very well written. There were very few spelling mistakes and no grammar mistakes that I could find. The incorporation of characters from all of the SM sagas was pretty brilliant and they stared relatively true to the way they were in the animanga. I could see some of your inspirations for the story (at least I think the Tortall series by Tamora Pierce was an inspiration) and you did touch on some of the physical differences between men and women (i.e. Ami watching the men of her village) which I honestly thought you wouldn't. A lot of people don't really acknowledge that women and men sit/walk/talk/gesture differently. They know it's true, but they don't think about it.
The relationships that are formed between the Senshi, and the way they're formed, are awesome. I really don't like Mina/Kunzite (I prefer Kunz/Zoi due to the US dub Kunz and Zoi being so freakishly obsessed with one another) but I wasn't annoyed by your Mina and Kunzite. I actually thought they were cute, which means you are a magician. I also thought that the pace of the story was exceptional. Some stories skim over some parts that actually would be crucial and some drag on and on. Your story did neither, skipping ahead in the right places (after all, we didn't need to know *everything* about the training) and detailing in the right ones.
I really have to go back to the relationships amongst the characters though. You really had them all done perfectly. Seiya was particularly amusing, especially when he said that Serenity made him question his preferences. That really was the entirety of the Sailor Stars show. Demando was also perfectly done. You captured all his creepyness while making him an ally at the same time. The few times that we saw Saffir he was true, as was the relationship between him and Esmeraude. Well, for them it was more like a "what could have been." Wiseman was intensely creepy, as was Metallia, which was awesome. Beryl was also totally annoying/creepy. The Senshi (well, Mage Guard I guess) and the dynamic amongst themselves were perfect too. You also captured some aspects of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon with the relationship between Rei and Mina. The Senshi were just all amazing with one another. The relationship between the Generals wasn't touched on as much, but the focus of the story really wasn't about Endy and them, so that was okay.
Luna in particular was spot on. She does really drive Usagi, and that really showed in your portrayal of her. I also liked that you incorporated the sisters even though they were dead. Artemis was also pretty entertaining, as was his relationship with Luna. Every little cameo that appeared (Fish-Eye and whatever the other two are, Ail, and all the others that I probably missed because I'm in the middle of rewatching) were fun to find. Hotaru, Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna were amusing too. You made me wonder if Haruka and Michiru have met at all being in such close proximity to one another. I liked that you incorporated Setsuna's role as the Pluto-who-isn't-the-guardian-of-the-gates-but-still-has-mystical-powers when she had the vision of Serenity fighting.
The changes you made the the Silver Millenium were very interesting and I really liked them. It's sort of like a half AU in my opinion which is awesome because there's enough familiarity to make it not distracting like half of the AUs are but with enough differences that you have to pay close attention, which is what I like in a story.
Well, that's all I have to say other than I look forward to reading the sequel to this. Oh, and that I'm sorry this was so long. I sort of rambled on in a few places, didn't I? |
 Serenasinluv08 2009-05-14 . chapter 18This story was amazing. Ihavent read somethung this captivating since I read a Tomara Pierce bok. Well done. I command you! |
 Anna Nigma 2009-04-16 . chapter 4I really like tis story. It's very well written and unique. The chapters are nice and long and the dialogue flows very well. I can't wait to see Serenity and Endimion's first real interaction. Oh, and O'neill, Carter,Teal'c, and Daniel are all characters from Stargate, which I love. :)

 Rusting Roses 2009-03-13 . chapter 18Fabulous!! I enjoyed this very much!! |
 ADdict 2009-03-04 . chapter 18 First I must say that I have truly enjoyed this story -- it is a very creative and mature alternate sailor moon universe.
That being said, there are only a few things I noticed you may want to go back and edit/add if you get the chance:
* The change in names of Serenity's father
* Serenity told Endymion (with Rei and Minako as witnesses) about seeing Selene during her trials and getting the locket/crystal during their communications in an earlier chapter; yet, in later chapters it seems they have not been told; furthermore, when Serenity does tell them again when they are trying to warn Endymion's army about Beryl's plans to collapse the mountain, she states that at the time of her trials she had only met Rei thus far, but hadn't she already known Makoto and Ami/Kenn before she met Rei?
* How Safir was controlled, and by whom; where Demando is and what happened to him; what happened to Luna and Artemis
* What happened with the blade that Hotaru, Haruka and Setsuna gave Serenity
* Selene stated during Serenity's trial that Selenity was her mother; Wiseman says it was one of Selene's/Selenity's descendents that was Serenity's mother -- it is possible it really was Selenity but no one knew the temple girl was in actuality the first queen of Nomaris, but it is unclear in the story which is the truth
I understand you wrote this story over years, and (being in a similar position myself, writing a story over five years that still is not done) I realize some details may be forgotten between the writing of one chapter and the next. I just thought you may want to know the notable slips if you ever get the chance to look back on this story for a minor revision. And truly, only a minor revision would be needed, for as I stated above, this is a wonderful story that I will remember as one of my favorites among Sailor Moon fanfiction.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us, and I look forward to reading more from you! |
