Sailor Moon Expanded: Difference between revisions

Line 75:

* [[Magitek]]: Called both "magsci" and "technomagic" in-universe.

* [[Mega Crossover]]: ''SME'' is part of a much larger continuum of stories laid out in [[:File:Crossovers.jpg|this image]].

** Justified (well, as justified as such a thing can be in the fanfic industry): a method of trans-dimensional travel allows characters from the ''Sailor Moon'' universe to travel to other dimensions on the conceit that ''every anime and manga ever produced'' has its own separate universe. The various Dark Kingdom Renegades seemed to run into this quite often in their early years on Earth, having traveled to the worlds for ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' and ''[[Ranma ½]]'' just for starters, and later to ''[[Urotsukidouji]]'' (aka ''Legend of the Overfiend''), where Titanite encountered said Overfiend. With her disguise device set to her Sailor uniform... [[Squick|and broken]]. Thankfully, the author managed to avoid following the obvious to its conclusion in a manner most awesome. And in an [[Dead Fic|unfinished story]], Titanite finds herself in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', and unfamiliar with the series, tries to understand it in terms of the classic [[Humongous Mecha]] shows she's seen in the past.

** To make things doubly interesting, the laws of these various dimensions seem to apply themselves to trans-dimensional visitors over time. Thus, in the Ranmaverse, [[Aloof Big Brother|Calcite]] takes on the mannerisms of a wizened martial arts master, and felinoid Margrave becomes even more [[catgirl]]ish than usual. The Renegades use this to their advantage; as long as they remain in the ''Sailor Moon'' universe and work on behalf of the forces of good, they are nigh indestructible.

* [[Meta Fic]]: ''SME'' has a series of stories which deal with the everyday lives of the various characters. They operate with the conceit that all of the characters, original and fan created, are actors on a vast movie set, with the various authors as the directors. This would lead to a number of instances where segments of "actual" stories would be transcribed, only to veer off-track when a completely unrelated character wanders "on screen" with some actor-related grievance.
