We apologize for any confusion of OF(Old Flames); we hope this deals with a few of your questions. In this way, we admit our mistakes in not explaining a few things. Please notice how we use bold, italics, and underlines in a few sentences here and there to state a point.
1) This is not during Stars, it is after.
2) Yes. This is intended as a Usa/Mamo fic.
3) We're trying to rid Sophia of all her perfections. Please understand that it is not exactly easy to make others understand that we don't want Sophia to be a Mary Sue. We're in heavy process of making her insecure which leads to her jealousy, resentful, lack of beauty,
and whatnot. But, we don't want her to be the typical other-girl who is
a bitch which even makes more things complicated. But that's how things
work to make things nice and sweet for us and you.
4) And no - it is not
the over-used plot of which Mamoru runs off with another woman and
leaves Usagi; returning her a few years later and begs for forgiveness.
We find it completely lowly of him as well as Usagi. Believe it or not,
but we actually plan a lot of action in OF. It is not your ordinary story of romantic drama. We want to be different and unique - it is our ultimate goal.
5) We avoid any cliché things as we want to be different.
6) Mamoru is NOT in love with Sophia. We repeat, NOT. And never will.
We understand that we should probably state most of this in the next chapter; but we're going to be uber-busy these couple next weeks. Therefore, no time to write or post new chapters. We want to clear things up now since some of our reviews seem to question the fic. And who reads the authoress note, anyway? :P Anyway, that's our reason why we're doing this. When we say that we're responding to the reviews - we also mean the recent flame we've been given.
We thank the following for having the courage and whatnot for telling us the flaws of our fic. After all, that's what reviews are for, right?

Thank you uber-much - we highly appreciate your questions of uncertainty. We are also pleased with everyone's words of encouragement. Please, in the future, don't hesistate to make a review whether it is negative or positive. All we ask is that if it's a flame - state a real reason of why you dislike it.
See you in the middle of February!
