Hi!

	My name's Sara, aka the Mercurian Lover.I'm here 
to introduce you to my story.  Like my pal, GoldenClaw, 
said, it's based on both Sailor Moon (the NA version, but
there will be some small references to the original) and 
Star Trek (Next Gen). But I will also be tossing in some 
elements from Greek (and Roman) mythology.  Take, for instance, 
the name of the main character of my first story, Kore.  
Since it's Greek, the 'e' at the end of her name (which is
normally silent in English) adds an extra syllable.  So 
you pronounce it like the boy's name, Corry.  After I had 
started writing this story,I realized what I was creating 
was a parallel of the myth of Persephone.  Persephone, the 
young goddess of the Spring, was dragged into the Underworld 
by Hades, it's ruler.  She eventually was allowed to leave, 
for six months out of every year.  The mourning of her mother, 
Demeter, goddess of agriculture, when Perephone returns to the 
Land of the Dead is the supposed cause of the seasons.  Anyway, 
after I had come to this recognition I decided to run with it 
a little more.
	This whole idea of a Sailor Moon/Star Trek meld is the
result of a joke E-mail I sent a friend, naming Sailor Scouts 
from a score of Trek planets.  I eventually narrowed it down to 
three new ones to begin with, Sailors Vulcan, Betazed, 
and Klingo(really, it should be Sailor Kling, but it 
doesn't have the same ring to it), and their two talking 
tribble friends, Hermes & Aphrodite.  Of course, if they 
were to have a child (extremely un-tribble like)it would 
have to be called Hermaphrodite. Back on the subject, as 
for Sailor Persephone, her ruling planet came from an old 
legend I once read, about another planet, Persephone, 
that was between Mars & Jupiter, where the asteroid belt 
is. BTW, in a similar legend, Vulcan was the planet closest 
to the sun, but it was swallowed up by it.  I may work this 
in. Further into the story, Sailor Moon & the other scouts 
will join up, but it may be a while.  First, I'm working 
on a bit of a 'historical' bit, Kore's story.

Please stick with me, more WILL come, I promise.
Sara
