JULY 31st IS COMMENT/REVIEW APPRECIATION DAY!

Fanfic authors! Take the day to thank your reviewers!

You can...

💌 Go through some of your unanswered comments on Ao3, even if they're ages old, and say a belated thank you!

💌 Answer a few newer comments that may have piled up

💌 Answer a comment that you think about frequently, even if you've answered it before

💌 Answer a comment by a reviewer/commenter that you've never seen/read in your inbox before! This way, you can also encourage someone new to the fandom and maybe shy to engage with us authors more!

💌 Screenshot your favorite review/comment publicly and thank them

💌 Write a Review/Comment yourself for a fic you love - old or new, regardless if you've commented on it before or not!

💌 Have your Reviewers/Commenters prompt you and write a little snippet on something for someone

💌 Don't overwhelm yourself! Showing a little love already suffices. Start a routine, not a one-off marathon!

It's in one of mine! In Yugen. Here's the chapter:

I am looking for a story where Usagi ends up coming with Mamoru to the cemetery to visit his parents but he says he doesn't really feel connected to them. So Usagi makes him make roses for all the "neighbors" - making up back stories for them. I thought it was a oneshot but I think it was part of a multi chapter now and can't figure out who wrote it.

Anyone know this story or scene?

No author is entitled to comments, to interaction, to reblogs or likes or reviews or anything, but in a community where you’re essentially a bunch of indie writers, that’s the lifeblood that keeps people *posting*. Writing doesn’t necessarily stop, but when someone feels like no one gives a shit whether you’re sharing or not, you quit sharing.

Anyway this fic is a delight so far - have a look! ♡ The author is new to the fandom and maybe you want to welcome them too ♡

Kaleidoscope Chapter 1

This story has been in my mind for 6+ months now. So excited to share it with the world!

Kaleidoscope (2134 words) by speak_mnemosyne Chapters: 1/7 Fandom: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Anime & Manga), Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: As she took in her surroundings, Usagi grew painfully aware of a few things. The first — she was not in her own bed. She was alone in a large bed of crisp, white sheets that smelled faintly of lavender and magnolia blossoms. Soft light filtered through a curtain billowing on a small balcony. The second — she was not in her own bedroom. This was definitely not the small, cluttered apartment she and Minako shared in Juuban. “Okay, focus”, she breathed to herself, trying to calm the pounding in her chest.

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 22 - Friends to Lovers

I think this may have been the post I have been looking forward to the most, so thank you tophat for picking it as this week’s theme (see end of last week's post for the story behind it). Friends to Lovers is more manga than anime characterization in most cases, which is a nice change to the constant arguing we get with the OG anime compliant stories.

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

It's You (I Fell Into) - @idesofnovember

Usagi literally trips over air and falls onto Mamoru on his first day of being the new engineer at the company she works for. As they start to spend more time together both in and out of the office, they get into a pattern that will require clearing up of misunderstandings before someone gets hurt. Also this art piece titled "Before you go in" by @iamcharlotte88 totally fits into the end of chapter 3 / start of chapter 4 of this story.

It's Always Been You - Beej88

In this non-senshi AU, little Usagi finds Mamoru in his hospital room and declares that since he is her best friend he will never be alone again. As he moves through foster care, Tsukinos always keep an eye on him, with him becoming an integral part of the family. Except that to him, Usagi means so much more than that, and she herself doesn’t realise yet what Mamoru means to her.

The Ghosts Of Lake Yokai - @floraone

This is the lemoniest story of the bunch. It is an aged up retelling of the original anime episode, BUT if the Starlight Tower stand-off turned out completely differently, with Mamoru joining the senshi team as the result. This one also features magical healing 🍆, which is always welcome in my books 😏

Not Him, Please? - @uglygreenjacket

Mamoru has long ago realized that he was in love with Usagi but chosen to keep himself in check best he can to stay in her life as one of her best friends. But when mixing alcohol, jealousy and a birthday party, even best intentions can go astray.

Finally Mine - @reispinkoveralls

Having woken up after defeating Chaos at the Cauldron, Usagi rushes to Mamoru's place to make sure he is back as well. In this AU, they have been fighting together as a team, and Usagi chose to not worry him overseas when a new enemy appeared. This one is also a 🍋🍋

Miraculous Musings: Vignettes of a Miracle Romance - Chapter 25: Fairy - @goddessalthena

This one-shot gives us a glimpse of an AU that us readers will hopefully get to see in full one day. The set-up is that our favorite duo has known each other since childhood and Mamoru gets something incredibly thoughtful as a gift for Usagi.
