Well, I didn't mean that in a literal sense, but a more metaphorical one like what you seem to be on to about power associated with the planet/whatever. Although I might point out that even if they were drawing from the planet itself, that wouldn't necessitate Pluto being weak--we have no idea whether the sort of power they need is tied to size or not. Doesn't really matter anyway.

Possible, but I doubt it myself. Why not just name it after the star in that case? It's simpler and more accurate.
I still think the strangeness involved between drawing power from
events as opposed to
things stands though, especially since this is fanfiction and we don't have to invent theories to make it consistent in honour of its canonical status. I suppose it's possible that it's some sort of weird temporal squick going on though. Not very elegant, but it works.
Or maybe Sailor Nova is really shorthand for Sailor Diffuse Cloud of Stellar Ejecta Originating From A Nova.
