This story is, indeed, a Sailor Moon fanfic, though it may not be
readily obvious in this first part. I have been plotting this story in my
mind for quite some time now, and I have finally decided to try and make it
happen. The story takes place on the planet Kinmoku and its small moon,
Lillith (an original idea of mine) and follows the lives of two of my
original characters, as well as the lives of Kakyuu-hime and the Sailor
Starlights. The story will be told in three parts, a trilogy of sorts which
I will title Starlight Guardians. Part one, called Protector of Hope, will
focus on a character named Safhia, who is Kakyuu's older sister by 8 years,
and will follow her childhood from the time of Kakyuu's birth to about age
14. Part two, called Protector of Trust, will focus on Safhia's adult life,
during which both she and Kakyuu-hime take their respective thrones (Kakyuu-
hime to Kinmoku and Safhia to Lillith) and the three Starlights and
Safhia's daughter, Genesis (my second original character) come into the
picture. Part three, called Protector of Love, will focus on Genesis and
the Starlights alone, and will follow them into their early twenties.
(titles may change) Needless to say, this is an enormous undertaking, and
it will probably take me at least a year to finish if I work steadily, and
there is no guarantee that I will be able to. However, the story is in my
head and I cannot ignore it; I have no choice but to write it, so I will
share it with all of you as I do.
The idea for the story began when I first created Genesis for some SM RPGs on Yahoo. The more I played her and developed her character, the more I began to see the possibilities for her in a fanfic setting. Once Safhia came along, I knew they deserved a story to themselves. My original idea was to write a story beginning with Genesis's birth and chronicling her life up until about the age of 21 (since that was about her age in most of the rpgs I was involved in), but the more I experimented with Safhia's character and began to write my two characters' histories, I began to realize that there was much about them that could only be truly explained in fanfic form. So for months I thought about it, drew diagrams and timelines, planned out on paper and in my head where the storyline would go, what characters I would need to create, envisioning those characters and imagining their personalities, even drawing some initial character designs which I will eventually upload to my webpage for all of you to see. And now, finally, I have managed to begin the writing of this enormous tale. I hope you will all bear with me as I attempt this, but I want this to be my crowning achievement as a fanfic writer, and I will not post anything unless I am completely satisfied with it. (Blame my mom for my perfectionism; I got it from her). I hope you enjoy what I have so far, and I promise you that in the end it will be worth your time.
