Subject: [Idea: SMoon] Ragnarok (plus an A!MS comment)

I was just reading a book on Norse mythology, and thinking of maybe writing
a story with Sailor Senshi based on the Norse gods.  Eventually, I reached
the part about Ragnarok (for those who don't know, the Norse "final
battle"), and read that, prior to the final battle, the world was going to
experience Fimbulvetr, the "winter of winters".

        HEY!  In Sailor Moon, didn't the world freeze over for most of the 
time up until the 30th Century?  What would the Sailor Moon version of 
Ragnarok be like?  Who wants to see this, and are there any ideas on how I 
could expand it?  

        The obvious sticking point is Crystal Tokyo.  I can think of three
possible ways to involve Crystal Tokyo - (1) Ragnarok takes place before 
Crystal Tokyo is built, (2) There are two possible futures - Crystal Tokyo
or Ragnarok, (3) The creation of Crystal Tokyo precedes Ragnarok, and the
city (along with the rest of the world) is (obviously) in great danger of
being destroyed.


        While we're on Norse mythology, concerning A!MS:  Many writers say
that Urd, Belldandy, and Skuld are the goddesses of the Past, Present, and
Future, respectively, but the book I was looking at ascribes different roles
to them.  These are - 
        Urd: Fate
        Verdandi*: Necessity 
        Skuld: Being
I'm not angry about the mistake (if it is one), this is just an interesting
tidbit of info I found.

* The Japanese phonetics for "Verdandi" and "Belldandy" are identical, so
it's easy to see how the spelling mistake was made.
