Collection Introduction

Hi! I'm Michaela Wills. I've just started writing Sailor Moon Fanfics and I hope that you like my tales and continue to read them. Now for the traditional disclaimer! (Better safe than Sued!)

Disclaimer: (For all the Early Moon Chronicles) I don't own any of the Senshi, Tux, or Naru and all rights belong to the original author (Takeuchi Naoko) for her magna and various other companies. I'm only using these characters for the enjoyment of other fans and don't mean to infringe on any copyrights, ect. I don't mean any ill will on the charcters or their owners

Now then . . . to the good stuff!
We all (hopefully) are aware that Hotaru showed signs of her power, even before she became a Sailor Senshi. We learned this from memories of her childhood years, as she was alienated by the other children for her odd abilities. But is she the only one of the Sailors, who at a young age, showed signs of the prowess that they posessed? Did some of them, like Hotaru, feel like outcasts from a young age? Or is it only now, as a senshi, that they have to sever themselves from the friends they always had?

*Michaela whips out her crystal ball*
The Early Moon Chronicles explores some of the possiblities for each of the future senshi. Ages vary, so if an age is not noted during the story, assume that the to-be Senshi is around 10. And now please sit back & ride into the past, through the eyes of my crystal ball and I, and enjoy . . . The Early Moon Chronicles!

Orenda's TEMC Notes and Specific Notes:

First thing's first: This is my first PUBLISHED Fanfic. If you like what you see, please let me know. These Fics are a self-sufficent COLLECTION of short stories, meaning you can pick and choose whose stories to read without having to read chronologically to understand. Got that? I also have a thing with background information. Most background for these stories comes from the Anime; Original season thru SMS. Also, the background to Mamoru's story also includes a little Magna background, explained in my Specific Notes section.

Specific Notes:
Story 1-Moon: The 'other side/part' of Usagi I refer to constantly is her princess personality, which I really hope is obvious enough. There's alot of other tie-ins to the different aspects of SM. See how many you can connect. The tune in her heart is Moonlight Destiny, what else?

Story 2-Tuxedo Kamen: To clarify, Mamoru's mysterious 'friend' that he can't remember is Nephlite (in the magna, the four General's were Endymion's Generals before brainwashed into serving Beryl.) and the tune is of course Moonlight Destiny; the theme song that plays from Usagi's locket. *grins*

Story 4-Venus: Yes, the cat in the tree is Artemis. *winks*

Story 6-Jupiter: Mako's past is pretty much unknown before her parent's death. I used that to explain a few facets of her personality with her past and explain how some things that are associated with Mako came to be (cooking, karate, the rose earrings) And yes, the little blond she protects is Usagi, a little reminder of everything to come! *winks*

Story 7-Saturn: Okay, there's definite background to this. If you have never seen/read the later SMS eps, pay attention. We're told in flashback form that most of Hotaru's childhood, she's outcasted. A particular incident, in which Hotaru 'supposedly' hurt a classmate, she comes in the next day and asks what happened to the child. The others get mad at her innoncence, because she did it, but she honestly didn't remember (think of her blackouts, she's being groomed to host Mistress Nine, for God's sakes, of course there's going to be violent incidents) She goes home and cries to her father, who tells her she's not evil (I changed that part of course) end of flashback. Tomoe Hotaru means 'Earth Firefly', so you can see why I used the firefly in such strong symbolism.

Story 10-Pluto: Okay, this one's a real mix. Cerberus is my character, based on the 3-headed dog that guards the entrance to Hades' domain in Greek Mythology. My own belief is that there's only one Sailor Pluto forever, so I couldn't give her a full childhood as Meioh Setsuna. This story sparked me to begin work on a (still incomplete) Fanfic centered on my views of Setsuna/Sailor Pluto and the differences between her existance and everyone elses. Hopefully that fic will be completed soon and you'll be able to understand the theories that aren't fully explained in this fic
