Sailor Moon and Time Spent Doing Things

[Bob Schroeck]

---

I seem to recall there was a rash of this sort relatively early on in the fanfiction, when only the dubbed first season was available in English.

---

Hm. I slid into anime fanfiction around 1996; would this have been earlier? I know it took me a while to get into any kind of Sailor Moon stuff at all, mainly because the NA dub did seem so dippy...

---

I got the feeling that most of the authors who did these stories were feeling embarrassed/annoyed that a "girly" show had gotten so popular in the anime fandom, and were trying to stamp out the shoujo elements to turn it into something acceptable to their "macho" sensibilities.

---

I find that amusing, somehow. Well, then, just consider it another SI cliche to overturn... as soon I find at least one example so I can figure out how to overturn it.
