Oh Gail Simone no. D:

I highly recommended epic Sailor Moon re-readings/watchings. Although I never finished my rewatch, tbh. (This is extremely helpful.)

[a_white_rain]

I know. :(

I think I'll reread and then chose some eps to watch. Mix it up with both dub and sub. ~*~hardcore~*~

[von_questenberg]

If you re-watch, I would go with subs.

I've been in love with Sailor Moon for well over half my life, and it still makes me happy.

[a_white_rain]

I know the subs are better but Serena! Raye! Lita! My hearttttttt

[selphish]

Can you give me the tl;dr version of what happened with Gail?

[a_white_rain]

Just read the post? I only heard she flounced.

I've only seen the example a_white_rain linked, and this earlier post, but she doesn't handle it particularly well when people criticise elements of her work. Added to that, she comments mostly on posts about her comics, to defend herself while becoming increasingly riled by people sticking to their points of view. So she didn't seem like she was there to be part of the community, but rather to tell people they're interrogating texts from the wrong perspective.

I'm downright relieved she deleted the journal, actually, because cringe cringe cringe.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not huge into comics, but I like to keep up with the comic-related drama whenever possible.

SAILOR MOON :D Your idea makes me want to dig up my Mixx/Tokyopop graphic novels and hunt down episodes on YouTube. Or find the fansubs I burned to CDs years ago.

Try dubs until you get sick of them, then switch to subs.

I did that with my Pokémon re-watch a couple of years ago. Though... minus switching to subs part.

[a_white_rain]

..That's what I did with Gundam Wing. Switch around sounds fun.

[serenemuffin]

Yeah, and you get to mix in nostalgia with lesbians. That's always good.

Honestly I think I may be most looking forward to Chibi Usa. I love her relationships with Pegasus and Hotaru and her parents. I know she's a polarizing figure in fandom but I love her pink self.
