Sailor Moon Z

""I know you'd have told me by now if you were Sailor Moon.""

- Naru, in Episode 1, two years after Usagi had started being Sailor Moon

A very large epic Fanfic series by Jeff Hosmer and John Biles (the latter of who brought us Dance Of Shiva, which this series is set in the same universe as), starring the Sailor Moon crew. The story begins in Tokyo, the night before Osaka Naru's sixteenth birthday, with Tsukino Usagi spending the night at Naru's house so that she can prepare for Naru's birthday party. Consumed by guilt because of the page quote, Usagi spills the beans.

Of course, this being a Sailor Moon story, not all is well in Japan. The evening after Naru's 16th Birthday party, the original senshi (plus Naru and Umino) are thrown out of a festival because Usagi managed to mess up some major plan that involved giving the Minister of Education a horary in a specific manner (don't ask, nobody knows why). Running the festival is the mysterious Capricorn, who works for the Zodiac, a remnant of the lost Kingdom of Odysseus.

Of course, it wouldn't be Sailor Moon without some legitimate monsters, which the Zodiac does not deal with. Can the Sailor Senshi survive fighting a two-front war? How will things turn out with Naru knowing about the Senshi being her friends? Does the new school that all the girls are going to have anything to do with this? And how is Sailor V over here if Sailor Venus is also over there?

This series provides examples of:

 * Crossover - With Himechan's Ribbon, of all things. Seems to come out of nowhere, too
 * Episode 20 crosses over with the TORG Novelizations.
 * Episode 24 crosses over with the Lexx universe, sort of.
 * Crowning Moment Of Funny - Usually once per episode in-story, but the "Sailor Moon Says" segments top them easily.
 * Dark Is Not Evil - and about half of the modern Zodiac.
 * Doorstopper - The unauthorized .lit file that's floating around weighs in at 3445 pages on the smallest text size setting in Microsoft Reader. Episode 20 is easily as long as the first Harry Potter book.
 * Reincarnation - Discussed, as are some of the ramifications of not being able to reincarnate in a universe where having more power than a beetle guarantees reincarnation.
