My, doesn't the fur fly when an author dares to leave something unclear,
unexplained, undecided or *gasp of horror* not making sense because of an
unexplained reason that can't be said but if it was would make what
happened make total sense. ^_^

I found myself in a love^2-hate relationship with this story.  In depth
writing on the day to day lives of little girls is not vastly entertaining
to me, and at some points the story was annoyingly and almost
overwhelmingly sappy (well-written and entertaining, which just made it
worse :).  I must say at least once I started paging down to get past such
a section.

That being said, the story is on my list of alltime favorite raves.  The
ability to build suspense, to keep the reader coming back for more, and
leaving us on the edge of our seats actually caring about what happens
(this is Sailor Moon, the anime American otaku love to hate, right?  Just
don't ask me how many tapes of fansubbed and raw SM I have in my possession
or ask me why I like SM - I'm not sure I have any answer that would make
any sense ^ ^) makes this a masterfully written and addictive story.  As
much as I dislike not knowing all the why's and wherefore's, I am eagerly
looking forward to reading more stories in the fascinating alternative
universe that these two authors have created.  I know a story is incredibly
well written when I start losing the ability to remember if a character
from it was in the original or not.  And several characters in this story
most definitely fit that bill.

Definitely looking forward to more!  And kudos's on finishing!  Many of the
greats still remain to be finished.  Which reminds me, what happened to MASN?
