This might be the start of a new trend.
Has anyone noticed more reviews/readers? (reader wise it seems level with my history, but that could be old readers not rereading)
I actually noticed yesterday and last night that your story had gotten multiple reviews, though I did not bother reading them... I monitor for stories using the RSS/ATOM feed system on FF.NET, not the email alert system. The advantage is feeds get updated upon reviews being left as well as story content.
I'm not surprised, it was to be expected.
I'm not really the least bit interested in the new series though. I still have all 5 seasons, the 5 specials and 3 movies though an d my episode notes I did as part of my research from years ago.
One thing that has always fascinated me about Sailor Moon (the original series) though, is its failure to grab its target audience. And yes, I realize how silly that sounds. But over the years I have had that series, I've loaned it out multiple times. Mostly to coworkers with daughters in the under 12 and early teen age brackets, even a few relatives with cousins and 2nd cousins in that same bracket... With out fail, none in the age bracket have liked it enough to want to see past about 1 dvd... the most fascinating one to have liked it, that amused me to no end, was a retired grandmother whom loved watching it, and I loaned her a disc at a time.
