The GAFF forums are back, for those of you who care.
Also,
here’s a parenting article about Harry Potter spoilers. It doesn’t say anything about how all of the main characters die and everyone else becomes sterile and asexual due to the spell that was used to kill Voldemort.

And can they face Sailor Pluto and Sailor Mars, now brainwashed generals for the Negaverse? And will Amanda and Destiny (Mercury's daughter and Pluto's daughter) ever get to reunite with their moms or dads? What is Mina's hidden secret about her past?

Comments: At the end of the story, there is a link to a petition to get this story published. Do what you will with that information.
I wonder, has anyone ever written a female Future Mars that looked like Yuuichirou/Chad instead of Rei/Raye?
Samples:
"Hello, Sailor V," one of them said.
"Who are you?" Mina asked with a frightened voice.
"Three good friends," one of them said.
"Oh my gosh, Tuxedo Mask?" Mina asked.
"Ummm.....No," another one said in a sarcastic voice.
"Wait a minute. Sing for me." Mina asked.
The three people started singing.
"Oh my gosh, the Starlights!" Mina said.
"Took you long enough." one of them said. They stepped out of the shadows.
Mina started crying loud. "Where have you been all these years?" she asked.
"One question where have you been?" the one with white hair said.
Mina looked up at them with teary eyes. "A long time ago, I dated this boy named John. John was one year older than me. I changed my name to Chistine Smith to hide my identity. Well, one night, in this big fancy restaurant, he asked me to marry. I said yes. I thought all my troubles were over, but they were just beginning. Two years later, I had twins, a boy and a girl. Faith and Alex. John and I both worked, so Faith and Alex had to stay in day care. One day, we decided getting a baby-sitter was smarter and less expensive. So we did. The baby-sitter was middle-aged and very experienced. Well, one day, I came home from work, expecting Faith to run up to me and show me her latest paintings, but she didn't, nobody did. I got worried, I had told the babysitter not to take the children anywhere. I walked in the kitchen and saw no one. Then, I walked into the living room and saw something I was not prepared for, three dead gory bodies, Faith, Alex and the babysitter. I screamed on the top of my lungs. I couldn't believe it. People started accusing me of murdering them, but I didn't. John immediately divorced me, in fear that I would kill him." Mina said.
"We know you didn't murder them." Mya said as she put her hand on Mina's shoulder.
"There was a trial. The people Vs Christine Smith. The jury had proven me innocent by one millimeter. Until I started searching for you girls, my life was terrible and depressing." Mina explained.

I closed my eyes trying to recuperate. Then another vision came to me. It was 9 girls holding hands dancing around a pole. "Isn't this fun, Urania?" one said giddily to the one next to her. She had long brown hair in one meatball and was dressed in a light blue dress. "Not as fun as my astronomy, that's for sure." Urania said happily. Urania had long blonde hair with star and moon hair clips in them. She was wearing a thin silver dress. "Or my music," the one with long black hair said. Then they continued to dance around the pole happily. [I just heard someone squeal “Pretties!” in the distance…] The girl with the long black hair kept coming back in my head. She looked like me, a lot like me. Maybe it was me when I was young. But who were Urania and the other girls? I shook my head and opened my eyes. I was still in the auditorium.

Two hours past and my performance was near. I had changed my performance song to "I Don't Know Why," an old song that I loved since childhood. I walked backstage yet again and near the stage. The glimmering lights lifted my spirit to an all time high. Just then, Reba McEntire, the recipient for a special award, walked up to me. With her vibrant red hair shining her whole face, she asked me "You must be Sabrina! I just love your music!"
I blushed and said "Thanks. I love your music too."
"Well, thank you!" she expressed with her Southern accent showing. "Honey it's your time to go on," she said looking at the microphone. I gently put my right foot forward and calmly walked to the microphone.
"Tonight I'm going to sing one of my favorite childhood songs. I dedicate this song to my mother. My mother and father died when I was young. Ever since Katrina took care of me." I said smiling into the camera. I placed the mic back on the stand and started singing,
"I don't know why the sky is so blue, and I don't know why I'm so in love with you, but if there were no music then I would not get through and I don't know why I know these things but I do, and I don't know why but somewhere a dream comes true, and I don't where but there will be a place for you, and every time you look that way I would lay down my life for you, and I don't know why I know these thing but do, I don't know why but I'm gonna make you cry, and I don't how but I will get you back I will try because they're not trying to cause you pain they're just afraid of loving you and I don't know why I know these things but I do, and I don't know why the trees grow so tall and I don't know why I don't know anything at all, but if there were no music then I would not get through and I don't know why I know these things but I do." I sang.
When the piano finally finished, the audience gave me a standing ovation. I simply bowed and smiled. This was my most loved moment. I immediately walked backstage. Mina was there standing, still in her limo driver uniform. "You did the right thing. Now we must go," she said with a blank stare on her face.
------------------------------------------
Tonight, we would be going to the Quake, a local nightclub for people eighteen and younger. It was our night hangout, also to our friend Jewel. I had known Jewel since kindergarten. Her parents were divorced and she switched between houses, so every other weekend, she couldn't go the club. This weekend she could. Jewel was known for her great dancing. She knew how to dance ballet, jazz and tap. You name it and Jewel could dance it. Jewel was also known for the necklace that she wore everyday. It was a charm with a heart and inside it was a symbol that looked much like a 4, held by a gold chain. Whenever we asked her why she wore it daily, she would not answer but instead bite her lip and look at us worriedly. But, besides that, Jewel was a pretty normal girl.
After Ky tried on the outfit, we bought it and went home to change into our "nite" clothes. I wore blue jeans, a silver simmery tanktop and, of course, a silver butterfly. Ky wore blue jeans, a T-shirt with a sweatshirt pullover, and her hair in a ponytail. We arrived at the club in no time and I couldn't wait to tell Jewel that Mike had asked Ky out.
When we parked, we heard screaming from the club. Not fun screaming but terrified screaming. I looked at Ky and she was looking at the club, trying to see what was happening. Suddenly, a woman with a crown appeared in front of our car. At first, I thought I was dreaming but Ky saw it too.
She wore a white dress - Roman-like almost. Gold embroidery surrounded the dress and her hair was in strange pigtails -- like a meatball to each pigtail. Her skin was as smooth as silk and her lips as powerful and intelligent as a royal. She stood straight, her arms extended just below her elbows. I looked at Alexis and she stared at me. We glanced at the figure again. "I am Queen Serenity, queen of the past moon. I am Sailor Moon's mother," she paused an unnoticed minute, "and you," she said glancing at me. "You are Sailor Mars' almighty daughter, defender of fire, flames and Mars, Sailor Firestar. And you," she said now glancing at Alexis.
It hit me like a rock. That's why Mom had disappeared during WNW. It was amazing how many questions were answered in that mere sentence.
"You are Sailor Uranus' powerful sister, protector of all mankind as we know it, Sailor Windstorm." Queen Serenity said.
Alexis' mouth was open and silent.
"You will take these henshin pens and raise them in the air and say your simple transformation phrase. They need you," Queen Serenity said as she handed both of us a henshin pen.
"Who's they?" I asked but I was too late. She was gone. Alexis bit her lip and raised her pen in the air. "What are you doing Alexis?" I asked, giving her a weird glance. "Saving mankind," she said in an instant. She screamed out a phrase, "WINDSTORM MAKE-UP!" She floated in the air and a suddenly wind passed all around her. In the background, I could see Earth, our graceful planet. Maybe Alexis was right. So, I slowly raised my pen and shouted a phrase that seemed to come to me right then and there. I floated in the air much like Alexis. Fire surrounded me like a thick cover. I could feel the power of Mars around me. Visions of my mom emerged in my head. Without even knowing, I was down on the ground in a red top, purple skirt. Alexis was in gold and a beautiful baby blue.
We ran into the nightclub like they giving away free food and we were surprised to see five other figures wearing suits similar to ours. We stared for a while until we noticed the youma. He stood proudly and flashed his enormous fangs. "I am Werewolf and you're dead!" he said as he leaped through the air.
Suddenly, the one suited in blue, shoot out a ring of snow at the werewolf. It was frozen in its tracks. Then, the one suited in purple, shot out a purple blast that shocked the animal. The animal growled, "I'll get you next time, Sailor brats!" We opened our mouth to speak, but before we knew it, our look a likes had disappeared.
