All right...time to get of lurking mode, which I've been
 in for a few months now...
 
 If you really want help, well, I'll give it to you.
 Ditch your Sailor Moon idea.  It's been done many times.
 And not too effectively at that.  My advice is that you
 do a Ranma 1/2 fanfic.
 
 You could try doing a story in first person perspective...
 from Shampoo's perspective.

 Vince.. Vince... Vince... long time no see. Anyway, I've been out of the FFML
for a while, so most of you might no remember me. (actually, I'll be surprise
if anyone remembers me.)
Okay, whoever I was helping, was it Doc Thinker? Sorry. I have a headache. Can
you help me with that doc? 
  Okay. I'm not going to tell you to ditch the Sailor Moon idea. Many Sailor
Moon fanfics have been done and most have sucked! Sorry, but it's true! But,
among those crap, are a few good pieces. I can't give any examples, but I say,
work that lost cause! You get out there, and write your damnest. 
  As for the Ranma fanfic advise. I think that's a bit cliche. I know most of
my old fics are Ranma fics and some of my futher fics will be Ranma fics.
Hell, right now, I'm working on two fics. A Golden Boy/Ranma Fanfic and a
Halloween in Nerima Fanfic. After I finish those two, I plan on trying to
write other things aside Ranma fanfic. Like getting my Escaflowne/Macross
fanfic out, or get my Chichiri meets Pinky from Pinky and the brain spoof.
  I guess my advice is, go for whatever you feel best doing! Go out, and write
the best Sailor Moon fanfic you can, regardless how stupid the idea is. This
is for fun, right? Don't let flames get you down! Ta ta!
