I have a quite modest little request here I think...in the subject line,

really dislike having to open up a fic just to see that it's on a series I
despise...even if the series is well known? Thank you for listening to my
whine :)

As I think this was directed at me I'll respond. First I apologize for not
labeling "Kenji" as a Sailor Moon fic but I did it for two reasons.

1 The file size wasn't large, although I do understand your complaint. I
generally label my fics with the [SM] prefix. It can be annoying but I tend
to view just named fics as Ranma material, that's mostly the bulk of the FFML.

2 The [SM] prefix for Sailor Moon was limiting.  "Kenji" didn't deal with
the premise of the story line set out in Sailor Moon. There was no monster
to defeat, no vilian to stop. The senshi weren't running around in there
short skirts.  "Kenji" dealt with family; I've either read/heard or
witnessed those events. The only relation with Sailor Moon it had was the
characters. 

So again I apologize, but I felt I'd try to get around the stigmatism
associated with a certain anime series.  I couldn't label it Orignal because
it wasn't an orignal anime concept. So what to do.  How do you present a
story that has characters from an anime series but get around the stigmatism
of the anime series when your story doesn't really have the usual plot?
