<<<Oh, and if I hated Sailor Moon I sure as hell wouldn't be spending 
this much time on a story for it.>>>

Apparently, you haven't seen the Anti-fics of Nav and Bane. ^_^

<Yet again, I'll state the reason I did this story is _Sailor Moon_; 
disappointment at the one-dimensionalness of SM fiction villains.>

You've got a point.  I'll admit, I've fallen into that trap with my 
fic villains more then once. (Except, with Endworld: Moon Run, the 
Supiriors acted that way in the source material.)

I guess it's just that, I was used to the way things were when this 
fic came out and it was so radicaly different, (not to mention the 
fact that the main character had issues with my fav. Anime char. ^_^) 
that I guess that was was the reason I went balistic.

I still can't agree with Emeralds interperatation of the future (I 
can't see Usagi OR Serenity trying to brain wash people, it's just 
not in their nature) but I will except that there are alternate 
future's where it's possible.

That brings up another topic; the possibility of Emerald winning.  If 
he does that, then he loses.

Why?  Standard Time Paradox.(Patent pending)

He wins, Serenity vanishes, the world is still trapped in ice.  
Emerald can't go back because he's still fighting the demon who froze 
the world, so he doesn't and Serenity pops back into existance 
because he never went back.  Then he does go back... then he doesn't..
. so on and so forth.

Now, as we all know (thanks to Star Trek, Back to the Future, The 
Time Tunnel and others), when a paradox like this happens, it's 
resolved one of two ways...

1) The cause of the paradox (in this case, Emerald) is wipped from 
existance.
OR
2) The world acts as an extra in Dragon Ball: Z and blows up.

But then again... with the way this story is going... I wouldn't be 
too surprised if number two was your choice. ^_^
