Author's Note: (3/28/2007)
Chibiusa is not your "Small Lady" nor "The Spore"
anymore for she's now a teenager!
This fanfic manga will somewhat follow the Japanese
version meaning that the name "Chibiusa" (or Usagi) will be used instead
of "Rini" but with exception of "-sensei" ("teacher"), I won't be
using the Japanese name formalities (like -chan, -san, etc), because of
my dislike for formalities (I always had some trouble with such formalities).
I don't even like being called "Mr. Jeffrey Anderson" and I prefer just
"Jeff" or "JA". ^_^;
Chibiusa and Saturn are wearing the Eternal level
uniforms, and in most cases, their attack phrases have been left out which
is mainly due to the lack of information on the "Eternal Level" attacks.
Another reason is a plenty of translation errors in the English-translated
Sailor Moon mangas, making them somewhat unreliable. For example, I noticed
"Palis" in SMStars #2 and "Palus" in SMStars #3 which both should be "Pallas"!
How about "Amazonus" instead of "Amazon"? Those translators really need
to do a plenty of research on the backgrounds of any mangas they translate
before translating them (same goes for science too)! So you can pretend
that they shouted something while making any attack moves, and I
do admit that I kind of like it better when they don't shout anything while
making any attacks. For the names of the four Amazon Quartet, I will be
using the actual names of the four major asteroids (Ceres, Juno, Pallas,
and Vesta) instead of misspelled "Cere", "Jun", "Palla" and "Ves".
When BSSailorMoon came out (1991), we knew
of only nine planets, but now we have been learning about the new discoveries
of dwarf-planets beyond Pluto, and this fanfic manga were drafted in accordance
with recent discoveries (and any future discoveries too!) . Sedna and Eris
are examples of dwarf planets discovered very recent (November 2003-April
2003) (and Eris (big bigger than Pluto)a new and bigger one in 2006 that
later got named Eris). Science always evolve as long as we're curious.
^_^
I'm still playing with my drawing style, so some
characters may not look "Sailor-Moon-ish" (small changes in the way I draw
eyes and noses), but don't worry about that. I'm just figuring out what
works best for me.
I have to admit that I didn't like how the
progress of Chibiusa fanfic went very slow. It took 9 months to finish
this fanfic manga (should be 6 months) but I have this new and growing
geology business taking up more of my time. ^_^;;
It seems that new computers today are coming with
the monitors with larger resolution (how much stuff can be seen at once
in a monitor), and I'm still using my 5 years old LCD monitor (smaller
resolution but easier to see small stuff), so some words may be bit harder
to read in those new monitors.
Some parts in the Chibuisa fanfic may seem rushed,
and that is mainly due to the fact that I don't have as much time devoted
to drawing as I used to have, so I kind of squeezed the entire storyline
in fewest pages as possible (less work!). This chapter did had a potential
to be more than 350 pages, but I don't really want to do that many pages
so it was cut down to 270 pages. ^_^; Because of this, some scenes may
be bit confusing (or bit too technical), but don't let that worry you.
If you get bit confused, just move on. ^_^ Also, there are some things
that are left in mystery on purpose...
