Sorry, but I don't buy that. Libby Thomas and I wrote Sailor Moon AX, and I
had never seen, much less touched anything of Sailor Moon until chapter 7 of
my fic. A good story is a good story that will draw in the reader no matter
what. I think in this case, it's a matter of the "NASA stale, pale, and
male syndrome", ie. institutionalization.
If we don't learn to break that, no matter how much the FFML talks evolution
and such, it will not happen.

Slayers, Sailor
Moon, or Evangelion, I can post it here. Gundam Wing, for
example? I post
elsewhere.
Of course, my perceptions could be completely in error. But those
are my
feelings on the matter.
No, I sadly suspect you're spot on in this regard. I do think that
(with
the exception of crossovers), stories in series other than the Big
5 get
sent packing rather quickly.

Could also be knowledge of series. I think me and Bert Miller are the
only ones who know anything about Moldiver, for example.
