Dear Visitor:

I started this website in 2000, on Valentine's Day to be exact. That makes this site, the Sailor Moon Dark Realm, just a month over eight years old. As well, that makes me eight years older than I was when I started this project. At that time, I was thirteen years old, and now I am on the verge of my twenty-first birthday. To put it lightly, my life and I as a person have changed so much. I am a junior at the University of New Mexico, whereas I was finishing up my seventh grade year when I first began this.

One thing has certainly not changed in that long span of time. I have a deep passion for writing and this project that I have lovingly nursed over the years. The stories, both SM:C and SM:CR, hold a special place in my heart, and I look through it from time to time. I spent so much time on that idea, an endevear that I still find very pleasurable. However, being a junior in college does have its consequences. While my writing has, of course, improved over those many years (it should, considering English is my minor, and I've got a few Creative Writing classes under my belt), I lack the time to be fully devoted to this site. I love it to death. There will never be anything to me quite like the SMDR. It was my first major literary project, even if it was fanfiction and I could never entertain the hopes of publishing or doing anything with it. Even if I, like I hope, publish a book one day, there will be nothing that can take the same place in my heart like this website. It is my love-child of eight years.

This site has taught me a great deal. On top of that, I have so many fond memories that I cherish... there will never be anything quite like the friendship that Kaichuu and I have (thankfully). And there certainly won't be anything like Kaichuu and I doing battle with Kyuuteki, AKA Meian/Daniel. There is nothing like duct tape and lysol.

But I have come to the realization that this site isn't a priority anymore because of my lack of time. If I hear from even one person that they want to see updates and know how SM:CR continues, I will gladly make room for this place once again. I could fit it in somewhere, I just don't have a grand motivation to do so now. For the time being, this site will remain online, completely as is. I may change very minor things whenever I feel like it, but for the most part it will remain the same unless I receive any requests otherwise. As always, you may feel free to contact me at shakaku (at) dark-phoenix.net.

Rest in peace, SMDR... my baby.
