Talk:Sailor Moon
From Fan History Wiki
Let's get this article more fleshed out! I've been out of the fandom for awhile, so I can't help with the more recent fandom members and events. I don't know any more which of the old fans are still known to newer members, and who the new big fans are. I was in this fandom from around 1996-2000, heavily involved in fansites/WPRs/fanfiction, so that's where I can contribute. Please help me if you're more familiar than me with 2000/2001 and on! :) -- Immora 01:18, 10 February 2007 (CST)
- I remember the first time I read an Amazoness Duo story was 1999, so I think they fall into the 1990s members category. --User:SaraJaye 11:13, 10 February 2007 (EST)
- Whoops! Well, that's easily fixed. I hadn't heard of them and the earliest references I could find were 2001 (dates on their site and when other sites began linking to them) so I assumed they came later. -- Immora 11:59, 10 February 2007 (CST)

[edit] SOS
An edit by 24.3.214.213 says: "To be fair to SOS, however, no concrete claim one way or the other is ever made about the relationship in the Sailor Moon anime in any way." While this may not appear on their current website, this is not true to their old position (as I remember it), which is what caused the big controversy. I do think the representation of SOS in the article could be more balanced than what I wrote, but I don't think it's correct to say they never made a concrete claim. I'll hunt Archive.Org to see if I can find the original text. -- Immora 12:57, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
- Update: So far, Archive.Org archives the homepage back to June 05 1997 [1] but not the individual "What Are We Missing?" page that had the "Prince Uranus" and "it's not gay, just Japanese friendship" claims on it. The furthest back that page seems to have been archived is 1999, well after the controversy when they covered their tracks by modifying it to say, "Oh yes, Takeuchi herself said they're lovers." I will continue to search for the actual SOS text. -- Immora 13:10, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
- Aha! Changing the missing5.html to different numbers yielded partial results. In a December 1998 version, SOS explains away their previous claims as something they're unable to cite. [2] I will attempt to find some old direct links to the article to see if there was a different address, and if so, if that was archived. A message group shared a snippet of the text, but it isn't the actual archived page [3]. WikiMoon also posts the full text [4], but again, it's not as verifiable as an archived page. SOS right out claimed this interpretation, until the backlash against it made them backpedal and issue a retraction. -- Immora 13:32, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
[edit] People
If anyone could work on the pages related to Sailor Moon, that would be really helpful. :) --Laura 15:33, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
[edit] Starfox
Speaking of old SM memories, who remember Starfox's SM page? I found by the Internet archive, this back-up of his SM commemorative page http://web.archive.org/web/20050207000014/iamstarfox.com/sailormooncommemorativepage.html and here some other SM memories page like Greg "Hologrami" Taylor, who was a big Sailor Mercury fan http://web.ncf.ca/cz159/ --sd 7:25, 18 October 2007 (CDT)
[edit] Sailor Moon Fan panels?
There still are Sailor Moon fan panels run at cons, are they worthy of noting at all? Also I should note that the official page run by Takeuchi as of the beginning of this year started banning people from outside of Japan to access the pages on the official site. You can see it as "Japanese Only" and you are no longer able to access Flash portions of the website, though Luna Box is still working. (Though you can't send anything through Lunabox unless you are in Japan) [I have screen captures of the Japanese Only if needed]--Hitsuji Kinno
