The Sailor Rainbow Series

The Sailor Rainbow Series is (currently) a sextology of Sailor Moon (the first 4) and Sailor Moon/Harry Potter Crossover (5th and on) fanfics written by "Heroine Of The Valley".

The series is centered around the Original Character Lydia MacGreggor, the titular Sailor Rainbow, and her experiences as she lives the events of the dubbed version of the show and books. The stories in the series (in order chronologically) are:


 * Over The Rainbow (Which covers the first season)
 * Promises, Flowers & Farewells (The R movie)
 * All Hearts Can Melt (The S Movie)
 * Beautiful Dreams (The SS Movie)
 * Sailor Witches (Goblet of Fire)
 * Harry Potter and the Moon Crystal (Order of the Phoenix)

The series is notable for featuring one of the few well-developed Sailor Rainbows in the fandom. On the other hand, it is also known for plagiarizing the dialogue from the show and movies it is based on, its lack of research on other cultures, and Lydia's Mary Sueish tendencies. Though, to the author's credit, the stories do improve as the series goes on.


 * Born Lucky -- Lydia. See below.
 * Britain Is Only London -- Mina suddenly becomes an expert on all things England since she lived there for a few years and the author took a trip there. But, of course, the only other landmark the girls visit is Stonehedge. (She also develops the odd tendency to throw the word "posh" around a lot... because the author likes the word.)
 * Did Not Do the Research -- In the earlier stories, the author's lack of knowledge about other cultures, especially Ireland, occationally borders on being racist. In the series, modern Irish society is divided into 2 classes: the upper class, which lives on large estates and have servants ala the 1800s, and the working class, who all live on farms and spend all of their free time at a bar either getting drunk or getting into fist fights. Lydia has also never heard of hot chocolate. Also, the aforementioned stuff on London and the fact that the only meal the SM characters are ever shown eating is ramen noodles.
 * The Fair Folk -- Creatures from Irish mythology pop up occasionally as a Monster of the Week.
 * Heel Face Turn -- Lydia convinces Malacite to help the senshi fight Beryl in the first story.
 * Kid From the Future -- Blossom, Fiore and Lydia's child, who is also Sailor Flora Rainbow.
 * MacGuffin -- The Rainbow Coins, which appear so that Lydia has something to collect and can earn back her Super and Eternal forms, which she lost after the Rainbow Crystals were combined to form the Silver Crystal.
 * New Powers as the Plot Demands -- Most SM OCs have a repertoire of special attacks that stays within the single digits. Lydia, due to having a power for almost every conceivable situation possible, has around 40 separate attacks by the time the 5th story starts. Some notable examples include the "Rainbow Color Slide", the "Rainbow Shamrock Rope", the "Rainbow Meshed Net", and the "Rainbow Green Glider".
 * Oireland -- Lydia is a proud citizen of the country. She lives on a farm, drinks like a fish (despite being underaged), has a love for the color green, shamrock jewelry, and lucky charms, and her dialogue is written in a thick Irish accent (when the author is not being lazy). In the HP crossovers, she hooks up with Seamus Finnigan, the lone Irish student character, who also becomes incredibly Oiresh to match.
 * Parental Abandonment -- Lydia lives with a family friend named Madame Indigo due to her parents being dead.
 * Psychic Dreams for Everyone
 * Rags to Riches -- Lydia finds out in the later stories that
 * Redheaded Hero -- Lydia
 * Reincarnation -- During the Silver Millennium,
 * Sailor Earth
 * Spotlight-Stealing Squad -- Lydia pushes the canon characters out of the plot of the first few stories and is single-handedly responsible for defeating every monster (unless it's a Big Bad, then she helps Sailor Moon), and collecting every Rainbow Crystal.
