I might have read a story like that...the only one of his I

the rather stupid one where a werewolf kills all the Sailors, then

That "rather stupid" story (Teenage Wasteland) has over 4000 hits by
itself
on my website.  I suspect several someones like to see the Senshi
get theirs
or something...

        Just as likely every day someone encounters someone else
saying
that that particular story is an abomination and that the author
should be
exposed to vacuum, and decides to go look to make up his or her own
mind.  Doubtless immediately after, the bathroom nearest their
terminal gets a hit too.

The story was rather poorly written, but I don't think that's at the
root of your complaint.  I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but
it sounds like you're complaining about what he was trying to do, rather
than whether he succeeded or not.  Is a story in which the Senshi are
overmastered and slaughtered -- really slaughtered, with no deus ex moon
crystal power -- such a horrible thing that it must never even be
*attempted*?

 

We like crossovers, right?  What about a crossover between Sailor Moon
and an H.P. Lovecraft story, or John W. Campbell Jr's "Who Goes There?"
(the basis for the movie "The Thing")?   

 

        I will grant that Marco's "Retribution" is fairly good, as is
his
effort at dealing with the BGC/Blade Runner connection; however his
other
writings are disgusting, and his behaviour in certain public forums
leaves
much to be desired.

Hm.  Bad blood.  Just try not to confuse your opinion of the author with
your opinion of the story.
