Author's notes.    11-22-96.


First, I would like to thank all of the people who have 
read the stories and were kind enough to write and let 
me know what they thought of the stories. It is a big 
help in keeping up the drive to continue.

After a lengthy delay, here is 'Obligations', which is
the third story. It is based on the events that happen
in my two earlier stories, 'Awakening pt 1 and 2'. I 
would recommend reading them before this one.

'Obligations' is set just after the Nephrenia arc of the 
current television series in Japan. After that point, my 
story goes one way while the 'Stars' anime goes another. 
My guess is that it is about two years since Usagi became 
Sailor Moon at the start of the first series.

Most of the events are based on the anime from Japan, and 
very few ideas are taken from the English-language version.
I am introducing some elements from the manga into the story,
but I am trying to make sure these are thoroughly explained.
Also, be warned that there are spoilers about some of the
events in the portions of the show that have not been seen
in the English-language version. 

Please contact me if you have any questions about the 
story and I'll be glad to try and clear it up.

Thank you for taking the time to read these sories 
and also for your support.
