Interesting concept, I look forward to seeing more of Ami/Tamao.

Well, first of all, thank you for the shout-out. Nothing like a good old fashioned anime sneeze, even across universal borders.

I am enjoying the heck out of the whole concept of the Strawberry, and I hope we see more of that cast coming in and making at least cameo appearances as we go. Of course, I also find myself wondering at the back-story: how did Shizuma and Nagisa, both from incredibly rich families (especially Shizuma), end up owning and actively running (as in, being waitresses and everything) a club in Akiba? It seems sort of a step down in terms of social status, to be part of the serving staff as well as the owners, and I can't help wondering if they fell on hard times with their families because of their commitment to one another. Or is this something they do simply because they love it, and not because they need the tip money? So you've got me wondering right off the bat, and I love that.

Now, I don't know a lick of Sailor Moon, other than the fact that two of the girls were lesbians (famously referred to as "cousins" in the dub), and that Hazuki looks a lot like Sailor Mars (which I only know because I showed a scene from Yami to a friend, and he said "Oh, that's totally Sailor Mars"), so these might as well be completely new characters to me. But since this story is about the characters rather than the whole Sailor Senshi mythology, I don't feel left out: I am getting to know them as people, and while some of the details are going over my head, I'm still comfortably along for the ride, so that's happy.

Hooray for Wicked Chikaru, by the way. I can definitely see where you're pulling from the print media version of the character more than the anime, and I dig that. You refer to her as evil (both inside and outside the story), but I prefer "scheming" for this rendition. Bow down to the costume mistress, mortals.

One detail which jumped out at me in your third chapter was the discussion of Tamao's books, and the surprise felt at her having a lesbian couple in only her second book. I like the acknowledgement there that it's not so easy dealing with publishers and expectations. Kudos to you for that.

Once again, thank you for the cross-universe shout-out. But where's Tamao? I guess this must be pre-threesome Hazuki? ;p

Loving the concept. Would love even more to see more background into how the Strawberry came to be, if that's something that interests you, and also to see what you might be able to do with others from the SP cast. I know you've said in the past that the show in question was not a huge favorite of yours, but I would nonetheless love to see your continued interpretations of that (enormous) group of characters. Cheers, and happy writing!

Well, well, soldier...

Hoo-rrah! 1º review, btches!

Now...odd. I coulda sworn I reviewed chapter 1...or maeby the Shizuma-Hater in me didn't allow me to review it. LOL Sure, NagiMao may have been a necessary sacrifice, but Hell, that doesn't mean it didn't piss me off. Goddamn Shizuma-teme!

...

...

Ok, I'm good, really! LOL

Now, TamAmi?

...

TamAmi? XD AW3SOME!st. Name. EVAR! LMAO That was pretty sweet. Age differences FTW! XD I LOEV cougars! Well, when they're hot and not fatass btches like Vickie F-ing Guerrero. I HATE that Fat Btch!

Chapter 2 was...

LOL

LMAO

ROFL

ChikaRei, eh? :D WIN!

Then, thishere chapter was very interesting and quite nice, thanks to TamAmi, though the ShizumaxNagisa smooch was YUCK!

Oh yeah! And ROFLOL at HazukixOther Universe!Chikaru. ROFLOL That was nice. _

And then, Chikaru will go for Rei. Go Go Chikaru-sama! :D

Nice work!

Update ASAP! That's an order!

Semper-Fi! Carry on!

Very much enjoying this crossover, especially the Rei and Chikaru plot!

wait wat? Minako and Rei kiss! O.o

I can SO see Rei as a yuri idol! This chapter threw my mind completely in the gutter as began to ponder who would be on top if Rei and Chikaru "got together." I feel another nose bleed coming on.

Minako kissed Rei? Oh, i so have to reread the manga!

No! it can't be done yet!

"Ami dresses like a baby dyke"? Funny, but i remember her mostly in short skirts. Is that how a "dyke" (i mean no offense to anyone with that word) is supposed to dress? I mean, all but the boyish bushs like Haruka, obviously.

I do admit to not ever having pegged her as a heterosexual, though, but then again... even before reading fanfics and doujins, Rei was the only one i thought was hetero (and i thought it was a shame). I pegged both Usagi and Minako as bisexual (which explained why Odango was with Mamoru) but not by much.

I thought Ami was gay, but the one i was almost sure of was Makoto. All that "he looks/sounds/acts like my old boyfriend" act screamed denial to me.

Ami-Tamao... interesting pairing. I would have paired her with either Yaya or Tsubomi... possibly Chikaru, but i would never have considered Tamao. But... hey, that could work!

I wonder how Tamao would react to the Locket... assuming Washu also connected Juri's place to this reality.

Nice one Shane

It's an interesting Crossover and it would have been interesting to see it go further if it wasn't for the fact it's a one-off.

Two thumbs up

Cheers

While I enjoy "Arisugawa's Locket," I am glad you separated this story from it, because yes, Tokyo needed an anime lesbian club. "Arisugawa's Locket" is more bar than club.

Personally, I am an Ami/Makoto shipper, but after reading this, I am curious to see how Ami and Tamao work out together.

This is an interesting start so far, and one of the few intelligent uses of SP I've seen in fanfiction. I would like a bit of background as to when in the SM timeline this falls, since it is clearly after the end of Strawberry Panic.

When I saw the crossover, I was kind of hoping that you were planning on setting this during the middle of both stories with the senshi attending one of the SP schools. To be honest, I was hoping to see Haruka/Michiru vs. Ami/Tamao (since you listed it that way) in the etoille contest with some senshi action mixed in.

All said though, since the only other SP cross I've seen thusfar was a good but completely abandoned Ranma-chan fic, I'd like to see more, though I don't know where you would take it since the timeline isn't clear, at least on the Sailor Moon side of things. Given the age, I'd assume that this is post-Galaxia, but there's no reason why the SM universe would necessarily be static in that regard. There are places that this could go that would be interesting, but considering the sheer volume of other active fics you have running, I'd be rather surprised if you did decide to continue this even though it is one of the more original ideas I've yet seen.

Personally, I'd like to see a lot more done with the SP-verse, just as a general rule in fanfiction, since it is a relatively unused, but fun story.
