Sailormoon is the copyright of Naoko Takeuchi and Toei Animation and a load

Rating: Rated R for scenes of violence and themes of torture.
Author's Notes: Now that I've got the general housekeeping out of the way, let's get on with the heavy stuff, for want of a better phrase. This fic has been a project of mine since the summer of 2000, when the world of Sailormoon, and anime in general, was still fairly new to me. Over the years, it has undergone many revisions and quite a few fundamental developments in terms of plot and characterisation. Even after all this time, it is still far from finished, but I think it has reached the stage where I'm fairly certain of the direction it's heading in. Besides, if I don't put it up now, there's a strong chance that I never will, and I'm curious to see just how people will react to what is probably my biggest achievement fic-wise ^.^
The only thing left now is to thank those people without whom this fic would not have been possible (how much like an Oscars' speech did that sound?):
The Mathemagician: A lot of the better ideas for this fic were hers. I am in no doubt that without them the quality of the plot would have suffered greatly. I kid you not. And you thought Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! and Sailormoon had nothing in common...
Ice Princess: Or, as she is known on ff.net, Ice Princess2. It was Ice Princess who first introduced me to the world of fan fiction all those years ago, so without a doubt this fic wouldn't have even existed if it hadn't been for her. Since then, she's helped me with so many aspects of this fic, and her advice has been invaluable. She also deserves a hell of a lot of credit for having to listen to me read whole chapters to her over the phone, which can't have been an easy task.
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who bothers to read this fic, that is, if the author's notes haven't put you off :P I gladly welcome your feedback if you have time to spare, and if you leave your e-mail address I'll try my best to get back to you. ASMR readers, please feel free to PM me if you have any comments ^.^
That's it! Enjoy the fic ^.^
