NAME: TJ Caracino

FANFICS: Many Happy Returns and Past Reflections.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND HIS FANFICS: Rush's Sailor Moon Fanfic Page

WHERE I MET HIM: I met TJ when he sent me the entire story Many Happy Returns.

MY FAVOURITE FANFIC MOMENT: My favourite moment is when Rei is yelling at Chad, and Chad asks Grampa if he has a way of turning invisible. Grampa answers that he would have used it a long time ago is he did.

(RUSH)Tell me a little about yourself.

(TJ) My is TJ Caracino and I am currently a senior at Boyertown Area Senior High(or BASH, as it's lovingly known as). I'm eighteen years old and I love to write(as you can see). I'll write anything from fantasty to mystery to romance, but my best work is in the sci-fi realm. I'm the editor of my school newspaper and I am one of the most organized people I know.

(RUSH)How did you come to love Sailor Moon?

(TJ)Two of my friends, Angela Doto and Krista Yoder(the creators of Sailor Sunshine and Sailor Vega respectively), introduced me to the story at the beginning of the summer soon after it began showing on USA. Ever since then I've been hooked on the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon.

(RUSH)Why did you start to write fanfiction?

(TJ)I started writing fan fication at the beginning of this school year when a young man named Adam Smith(creator of the Eye of the Heaven) sent me his fan faction. At the time I was not as versed in the lore of Sailor Moon as I am now, but I still knew that parts of his story, especially the history of his character, were wrong. He wrote that there were two wars between the Negaverse and the Moon Kingdom. Adam never completed the fan fic and soon after he and I had a falling out(totally unrelated to his story). Well, I was angry with him when I found his story again. I reread it and got even madder that he wasn't man enough to admit his mistakes in the story, so I rewrote it, adding the characters of Centurion Alpha and Sir Aaron of Vega. That was my first work of fan fiction.

(RUSH)Who is your favourite Sailor Scout and why?

(TJ)Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter tie for my favorite Sailor Scout. Sailor Mercury because she likes to use her brains when her powers fail(unfortunately writing her is a bit more difficult). Sailor Jupiter because she's not afraid to take a swing at the Negaverse every once in awhile(as she proved when she took a swing at Tuxedo Mask).

(RUSH)What's your favourite season of Sailor Moon and why?

(TJ)Well, I've only seen a season and a half of Sailor Moon(the first seaon and the up to the last seventeen esipodes). Out of those two I really couldn't pick my favorite since they were both so good.

Thanks TJ for the wonderful interview!
