Drops of Moonlight: A 30th Anniversary Sailor Moon Fanzine Unboxing

My copy of @dropsofmoonlightzine finally arrived! I'm so mad at myself for not getting both editions, but I didn't have the money. Instead I opted for the bundle with all of the extra goodies! I'm especially excited to look through the activity book. As the only one who contributed anything related to polyamory, I'm genuinely proud to be a part of this project, my very first fanzine.

Thank you @brownsugarheartattack, @daikon1, @floraone, @kakyuuu, @nari20, @ninjettetwitch, and @queenrisa14 for putting up with the giant headache that the zine became over the years. I'm sorry that life and the world got in the way. The zine is beautiful and I truly appreciate that you all powered through and delivered on this massive project. Thank you and here's to another 30 years!

(Please ignore the wonky pictures. I'm not the best photographer. Plus my phone kept trying to "improve" things.)

[wishwars]

My @dropsofmoonlightzine box arrived and what a treasure it contained!! I’m seriously in awe of the incredible labor of love this project must have been for the mods. What an amazing gift you’ve given us! It’s not often one can see their fan work in print, let alone in the company of so much wonderful talent 💖

Thank you @brownsugarheartattack, @daikon1, @floraone, @kakyuuu, @nari20, @ninjettetwitch, and @queenrisa14 - “you will forever be immortal. You will be the shiniest star shining in the sky for eternity.”

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 50 - Locked In

This week’s post is all about being locked in places together - be it various closets, elevators or islands. Thank you to @goddessalthena for being my gif fairy godmother 😘

Just wanted give everyone a heads up that I have only 2 more currently planned posts left to make it to the full 52 weeks. I still have some other ideas/lists and will share those at a later date, but this seemed to be a nice round milestone. I really hope you enjoyed these and discovered stories and authors, and maybe even got some new favourites. 

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

Seven Minutes in Heaven - @idesofnovember

Mini collection of stories throughout the original anime run where Usagi and Mamoru keep ending up in the closet together, at first because of fate or luck and later because of their meddling friends. 

Seven Minutes - colormeferret

A cute little reveal story where our duo getting stuck together in the closet during a game plays a big part. 

One Month: Trapped - @sailorsilverladybug

I am going to start with a disclaimer: there are a lot of stranded on an island stories between AO3 and FFN, and one of the themes that runs through is non-consensual intimacy. This particular story is not an exception, but what sets this one apart, and the reason why I included it on the list, is because there is a lot of discussion about consequences and legitimising of feelings for those impacted by the choices of others. Please make sure to check the tags and read the author's note before starting. 

Motoki and (some of) the girls decide that to stop Usagi and Mamoru from arguing they need to kidnap them and leave them on a deserted island for a month to get over their hostility for the good of the world (at least that’s Rei and Minako’s reasoning).

Intentionally Trapped - @ninjettetwitch

After having an absolutely horrible day at work, Mamoru decides to still go to Minako’s party only to blow up at Usagi because of his bad mood. Leading a very stern chat in a stopped elevator followed by a steamy make-up. 

Game Night - @riverlethe

Minako decides that they deserve a night off and best way to have fun is a game “night” at the arcade, where an increasing number of participants eventually includes Mamoru. Running out of games to play, Unazuki eventually suggests “7 Minutes in Heaven”. 

11 Hours - @floraone

This story is based around a study which postulated that with a specific set of questions and at least 4 hours together, two people can start falling in love. In this multi-chapter, our protagonists get stuck in an elevator, discovering things about their past, likes and dislikes, working through social anxiety and preconceived notions.

Give it a read and tell us what you think! Here’s the Fanfiction version and here is the Ao3 version!

Please enjoy and follow along! We have a lot more chapters to come so keep up ;) 

[nari20]

Happy Valentine’s!

Have some UsaMamo fanfic recommendations!!

Happy Ending - Guaranteed:

Checkmate by @queenrisa14 - I just read this multichapter mystery coffee-shop AU for the first time and let me tell you, it is a ride!! If possible, I recommend reading it with someone else so you can over-excitedly bounce theories around with them between chapters. Where the hell is Usagi’s mysterious chess partner, aka Mamoru?? (Rated T)

The White Rabbit by @idesofnovember - Okay it took me MONTHS and many very-enthusiastic recommendations before I finally gave this three-part pirate AU a try. Learn from my mistakes, go read it now. (Rated T)

A Craving for Chocolate Milkshakes by @kasienda - This is like, the ultimate MindMeld fic. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask get hit by a Youma attack and Mamoru and Usagi are suddenly mentally linked - and all that that implies! Emotional, sexy, adorable, and recently finished multichapter! (Rated T)

Since I Found Out by @lyraterra - First season multichapter AU with an early reveal, mindlink, and a side of SenShi! Cute, fast-paced, and very bingeable!! (Rated T)

The Heatwave by @reiokiscorner - If you haven’t read this amazing multichapter AU, go do that immediately. Waiting for updates seriously got me through the first six months of quarantine. After years of bickering, unexpected temperatures have Usagi looking at Mamoru in a new light... (Rated M)

Distraction by @kaleidodreams - A smutty established-relationship oneshot where Mamoru calms Usagi down during a thunderstorm. Sexy, tender, and fun! (Rated M)

Better Than Dreaming by @wishwars - a loosely plotted and very sexy oneshot PWP; what the hell else would happen if Usa walked in on Mamoru masturbating while thinking of her? (Rated M)

Somniloquy by @ninjettetwitch - Sexy little PWP oneshot where Mamoru-baka decides to ‘punish’ Usagi for her hurtful sleep-talking. (Rated E)

The Ghosts of Lake Yokai by @floraone - I ‘jokingly’ refer to this one as “proof of concept” on FloraOne’s writing after LDE got my attention. Usagi and Mamoru are sent on a mission alone after years of pining, and with the help of some demonic possession, Usagi’s feelings finally boil over. Mutual pining, miscommunications, and misunderstandings abound in a two-parter I revisit frequently. (Rated E)

Angsty or Open-Ended Fics:

His Changing Rose by @tinysagi - I’ll be honest and admit that chapter 2 (Summer) is my favorite, but this short multichapter delving into how Mamoru thinks about Usagi as they move through their lives is just darling all around. (Rated K)

The Chances We Don’t Take by @floraone - Okay it’s probably cheating to include this one because she wrote it specifically for me and my tastes but EVIL ENDY MUTUAL PINING???? This oneshot is f*cking glorious and I still cannot believe it was written for me. (Rated T)

Weathering the Storm by @brownsugarheartattack - Also probably cheating since I got to beta this one; a maybe-TBC oneshot in which Mamoru and Usa are hilariously reunited when they both “rent” the same cabin, giving Mamoru another chance to win over the girl of his dreams. (Rated T)

Contrition by @tinacentury - I ADORE this mutual-pining canon-divergent AU oneshot. Too much detail honestly kind of spoils the first read, so just know that it’s the best of these two idiots trying and failing to communicate. (Rated T)

Ongoing Fics:

Hikari 27 by @uglygreenjacket - An angsty, pining, miscommunication-ridden long-distance AU multichapter that I am DYING to see finished. Usagi and Mamoru meet on the Shinkansen and fall in love; Mamo-chan has no idea how to be a boyfriend and Usagi has no idea how to ask for what she needs. (Rated T)

If Only I Belonged to You by @beej88 - A fabulous epic UsaMamo-week story that isn’t quite finished yet. Weaving together their various lives, Usagi and Mamoru have to find and choose each other again and again. Read it and help me cheer her on to the finish!! (Rated M)

Something Old, Something New by @allyunabridged - My happy place in fic form! Usagi and Mamoru meet at an antique shop when Mamoru buys Usagi’s great-grandmother’s long-lost star locket. Now they have to not mess things up! Please help cheer her on so I get more of this awesome story!! (Rated M)

(Please note, each section is loosely ranked in terms of what I deem least-to-most saucy)

Happy reading! 😘

Just Usagi

Now that she’s ended the arrangement with Mamoru, Usagi is all set to mope and distract herself with her new job… so what in the hell is Mamoru doing sending her flowers?

The Runner-Up

I turned in my last assignment for my degree today, so to celebrate I’m bringing you the first chapter of my new story! It’s UsaMamo aged-up enemies-with-benefits - so basically an angsty miscommunication-ridden smutfest. Hope you enjoy 😉

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 43 - Fluff

Today’s post is just something fun to offset quarter-end / month-end stress (for me at least?) and see how adorable fandom makes our favorite duo.  

Also, don't forget to check out the prompts for @usamamoweek2023! We are 3 weeks away!

@smquickies2023 prompts came out yesterday too - that event is taking place August 6-12 (and is open to any SM pairings).

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

Usagi the Spectaphile - @ninjettetwitch

Stuck in quarantine, Usagi is very much turned on by Mamoru and how ridiculously sexy he looks in his glasses. 

Custody - @uglygreenjacket

Continuation of her amazing story - Hikari 27 - Usagi makes an innocent suggestion of introducing Luna and Artemis, unprepared for the chaos it sets off.

The Space Between: Chapter 12: Miracle - @uglygreenjacket

Usagi comes over to Mamoru’s place, asking him to let her make him something to eat, much to his trepidation.

Key to My Heart - @idesofnovember

To minimize impact on his neighbors and make his life easier, Mamoru decides that Usagi should have her own key to his place, not realizing how much that would mean to her.

snowflakes on her eyelashes - sailor-elsa

After a terrible day at work, between his patient and his colleagues' "humour", Mamoru voices what makes Usagi so special to him.

Fluffy Pancakes - thetroll

Adorable little one shot of Mamoru taking care of Usagi after yet another battle.

Finally updated my story! It’s been a while, I was in a bit of a writers block but managed to finally ask for help from my wonderful Beta @ninjettetwitch! I couldn’t have done without you thank you so much 😊

[ninjettetwitch]

Lip Gloss

He was mesmerized; unable to pull his gaze from her as she worked with meticulous accuracy, painting her face using the contents of her makeup box, leaned over the sink in his bathroom in an attempt to get closer to the mirror. She was currently using a black brush to make her already long lashes even longer and darker, and he used that time to rake his eyes down her body.

She wore a long white dress that hugged her body tightly before flowing freely to the ground. It was so reminiscent of the dress she’d worn in their previous life that he was immediately transported back to that time; meeting her in his mother’s rose garden, stolen kisses under the moonlight, dances in the grand ballrooms. 

“Don’t stare too hard, tiger,” she said without taking her eyes off the mirror, breaking him of his trance. He blink repeatedly, trying to reign in his boiling blood. “We have an important networking dinner to get to with your bosses. We can’t be late.” 

Mamoru couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped his throat. “Can’t be late? That coming from Tsukino Usagi? I never thought I’d see the day.”

She turned her head quickly with mock offense. “Hey! When it’s something important, and especially something important to you, I try really hard!”

He smiled warmly as he crossed his arms, leaning against the doorframe. “I know, Usako. I’m just teasing you.” 

She rolled her eyes dramatically and turned back to the mirror, muttering a “baka” under her breath, reminding him of the old days when they were constantly at each other’s throats. 

He watched, heart racing, as she pulled her lip gloss from her makeup box, carefully applying it to her pouty, kissable lips. He watched transfixed as she glided the brush full of pink gloss across her bottom lip, then trail it along the top.. He watched as she put the brush back away. And when she made a kissy face at the mirror, checking to make sure it was applied just perfectly, and it was, he couldn’t take it anymore. 

In one move, he ripped his suit jacket off, dropping on the floor in the hallway, and charged her. She turned in time to frown at him. “Mamo-chan--”

“We’ll be late,” he breathed before clasping her heart shaped face in his hands and crushing those freshly glossed lips to his own. She gasped as his hands moved to under her bottom and  he scooped her up, making his way back to their bedroom. 

So maybe she wasn’t always the one making them late.

2020 Fanfic Year In Review

So, as is tradition now, I’m bringing @irritablevowel​ ’s fanfic review back and maybe you guys want to join me!

1. List of fics completed this year:

Completed Stand-alone Fics: 9 (Same number as last year woot!)

The Unintentional Seduction of Chiba Mamoru Confession Deception Valse Triste Memories Saudade Blind Excuse Me, Ami Wrote WHAT?! The Chances We Don't Take

And usually I don't list the short stories from my running series(es?), but… I figure since I NEVER will mark those as completed, I'll stop not counting them lol?

So, in addition, I wrote the following shorts (9 as well!):

Crying in Purgatory Mamoru in Drag in my Miscellaneous Stories And They Were Zoommates in my Miscellaneous Stories His Bunny Mug in my Miscellaneous Stories Mamoru, My Girlfriend in the Lemon Tree Series Playing Outside in the Lemon Tree Series Oh Crap There's Doujins of Us in the Lemon Tree Series Pretending in Purgatory The Kings New Clothes in my Miscellaneous Stories

2. Number of words written:

234.290 words this year. In 41 chapters and 12 stories.

That’s almost as much as last year even though I expected to barely hit 20k words with the busy year that was predicted for me in January - and well, then I had a lot of free time at home that I did not expect to have. Let's see if NEXT year will be the 20k year lol?

Anyway, this is a lot more than I thought it was. A LOT MORE. It felt like way less! 

3. Your most popular fic this year:

The Unintentional Seduction of Chiba Mamoru (by FAR, both by favs and reviews and kudos and hits)

Runner-Up: Deception

4. Your personal favourite this year:

For the first time ever, the most popular is my favorite, too. Seduction has my heart (Especially Chapter 3: Research. Obviously.) Runner-Up for me is Blind, though. Simply because that was such a personal fic!

5. Your favourite scene:

Hands down, Mamoru researching How To Do The Sex in Seduction. That was the most fun I ever had writing a scene, let alone a chapter.

6. A fic or scene that challenged you:

Mamoru, My Girlfriend. Because I wanted to do well not only by gender-bend tropes, but especially by anyone who ever felt they were in the wrong body befitting their own gender identity.

7. A line of writing you’re proud of:

I'm pretty proud of Valse Triste. Both because SilMil is not where my talents lie, and also because I got to subvert the Casanova-Prince trope and turn it on ist head, make him the Protected Maiden instead while keeping his character completely intact.

Anyway, that was hard, and because of that, I'm fond of this scene:

 She didn't bat an eyelash at the ruckus outside, at the - to her - so foreign, bellowed words. Instead, her eyes were wide and calm and waiting and jumping between both of his, as if she were trying to look through him, as if she was searching for something, and he held his breath in careful, terrified anticipation until she found it.

The bark of the dogs rang off the palace walls, closer, and Endymion held his breath as the Moon Princess slowly stroked her fingers down his jaw, his neck, and dipped into his collarbone.

Every tendon in his neck was pulsing, his breath a heaving mess, his heart hammering in his chest, and he stood as still, still, still as he could.

But he couldn't keep the shiver in. When she ran a finger down the part in his tunic, the laces splitting open at her pull on them, her cool fingers against his burning chest.

His skin - his whole body - broke out in goosebumps where her fingernails brushed untouched skin.

"And?" she whispered to his lips, moved up onto her tiptoes. "Do you want to stay untouched?"

"No," he croaked, breaking and hushed in the dim, dim light. "No, I do not."

8.  A comment that touched you:

This is ALWAYS THE HARDEST QUESTION FOR ME, EVERY YEAR. WHY MUST I CHOSE AMONG GOLD.

Anyway. I'm lucky in the review realms. I really, really am. So choosing is hard. @daikon1​ wrote me a 20k+ character review the other day I wept on. So that one is up there. I also randomly screenshot reviews that made me happy though, so here, have a random sample of reviews I screenshotted from my phone gallery (i loves them):

9. Something that inspired your writing this year:

This year it's all about the fandom friends. Talking to you guys has been a HUGE driver of my (struggling) pandemic-creativity. Also brought out things like spontaneous collaborations like the one with @nari20​ where The King's New Clothes jumped out of!

10. Your proudest accomplishment (that one scene; finally finishing that one fic; posting your first fic; etc)

Honestly? This year? Writing at ALL. I'm an extrovert soul who thrives on crowds and people and while I am ABSOLUTELY in 100% support of social distancing and do it very diligently, I SUFFER AND MY CREATIVITY SUFFERS WITH IT. So, yes, I am proud to have made words go at all this year, ngl!

11. Do you have any writing goals for the next year?

I really do want to write that smutty Evil!Endymion fic I've been talking about… And a Snow White AU or two I've had in my drafts for almost a year now!

Anyway, yes, this year was HARD but MAN did this community here keep me afloat and I am SO. FUCKING. HAPPY. To have you! So yeah, thank you for being here with me! For interacting with me, be it through tumblr, through chats, through reviews, through my ask box. You were a WHOLE DAMN LOT of my much needed social life this year!So, thanks for being here with me!

Also, PLEASE consider yourselves tagged! All of you who want to!!! Please!

Self-love is precious and needed and I wanna see your recap posts as well! So, getting this started, I'm tagging you 5: @daikon1 , @idesofnovember​, @tinysagi​, @allyunabridged​, @ninjettetwitch​ - go forth and write me recaps and tag others!

 Mwah! 💋
