Damn, XP, that's both funny and an excellent executive summary, not to mention some serious brainstorming. The roll-your-own-enemy plan looks very enticing; the Pharoah 90 angle sounds like a very compelling idea... I'm going to save that all locally and think about it some more. Until then, a couple of quick comments.
Yeah, five junior high-schoolers took out the Kingdom, but one of them is for all practical purposes a demigoddess. I'm planning on having Doug look at Usagi's aura and seeing something like an O!MG goddess' power level, only purely mortal...
Gotta keep some first-season stuff intact, no matter what. For some inexplicable reason, the parts of the Ginzuisho are stuck inside the Seven Shadow candidates, so we need to preserve that part of the arc in some form -- or Usagi never gets her primary power/weapon.
As for subverting Neptune and Uranus, well, I'd rather leave that in Usagi's hands -- I don't want this to be the Doug-and-Usagi show, after all. Doug may figure out they're there, but it'd have to be Usagi who would go to them and bring them into the fold.
Thanks for all that effort!
