I still want to know if Kun-chan thinks my fics are too serious....

>From my skimming through it, the answer is 'yes'... And the fic isn't
even in the style of Sailor Moon, either ... Sailor Moon is a shoujo
comedy in the anime, and from what I can tell, the manga, too. No-one
has been able to write a Sailor Moon fic, that I've read, that is in
the actual style of the series, except for the spoof-type SM fics...
So, I've taken to deleting all Sailor Moon fics because they're all
way too serious to be Sailor Moon... *shrug* And since I only have a
general knowledge of early Sailor Moon, and even less info on the new
Sailor Moon series', all of the 'new' characters seem to me like the
added in characters from Ranma 1/2 that often appear - and since I
don't like added characters, I'll end up deleting SM fics with people
that I don't know. If it was a youma, I could get over it, as they are
a dime a dozen, but 'major' characters that are added, or major chars
that I've never heard of before? The fic'll get deleted if I actually
stop to look at it before hand. *shrug* I just haven't seen any 'fic
do justice to the Sailor Moon series, and it's turned me off reading
ALL Sailor Moon 'fics...

If anyone can suggest a SM 'fic that's actually in the style of the
series - a lot of comedy with the fighting, normal high-shool girl
problems, etc - can you please tell me?

To me, all of the SM fics are too dark and they don't really concentrate
on the 'normal' things that are always seen in SM ... The only SM 'fic
that is anything like the series, that I've read, is a Sailor Moon
Choose Your Own Adventure type fanfic ... although that was probably
TOO light...

Kun-chan...
