The Crystal Tokyo Review is an exclusive fan fiction segment of Usagi and Mamoru.com. Only the
best, well-written, most moving stories will be archived here.
When a story is submitted for review, it will be reviewed by 8-9
judges, selected by the
webmistress/site owner of Usagi and Mamoru.com. If the site owner has
received favorable reports and the story also meets her approval, the
author will be contacted and the story will then be
archived here.
If an applicant's story is not accepted, and has gained unfavorable
reviews, the suggestions and advice will all be written out in the REVIEWS section.
Remember, the opinions of the judges are just that - opinions. Take the criticisms for what they are worth, improve your stories
if you wish, re-apply if you like, but
above all else, remember that you write to make YOURSELF happy. The
stories archived here are the best according to
the opinions of the site owner and the judges and if your story does not
make it on here, it may not mean that you're story isn't great - it just
didn't meet the approval of the judges. Other readers, however, may love
your story. Just keep working hard.
The reviews and comments are not those of the site owner/webmistress or of
UsagiandMamoru.com. Questions about your review can be emailed to fanfiction@usagiandmamoru.com and the person who reviewed
your story will get back to you if possible.
Requirements
- Stories are accepted in .TXT or .HTM format ONLY.
- If your stories are in .txt, send them in ZIPPED! Use WINZIP to
put all your txt documents into ONE zipped document that can be easily downloaded and unzipped.
- If you have a LINK to your story, PLEASE send the link or in .htm format
- Stories must focus on the love between Usagi and Mamoru. If there are break-ups the couple must get back together and
there must be a believable and logical reason for the break up.
- Hentai is alright as long
as it is not just raw sex over and over again. There must be a point to
the love making - must show the love between the couple.
- Fics should not exaggerate negative
qualities about Usagi or Mamoru. Everyone has faults but the
anime and dic dubs overly exaggerated U&M's flaws and fan fic authors do
the same. I do not enjoy reading fics which make Mamoru out to be an
insensitive jerk because he was not so in the manga, nor was Usagi
crybaby, wimpy ditz. I prefer to see them in a more positive light.
- Uniqueness in fics is
important. We've all read the hundreds of Mamoru breaks up with Usagi fics
- give us something different - but the same old is fine as long as it's done well
- Lastly, NON-UsaMamo Fics will be accepted but ONLY if they are outstanding in plot and writing.
