Guardians of the Moonlight: Contests & Quizzes
You can read more information about all of our current contests and special
quizzes on this page. Feel free to contact Lanisatu if you have any suggestions
for other contests or special quizzes!
This contest is currently running.
This ongoing contest is for creative fanfic authors who'd like to show off their fanfic to more readers. Winning entries are posted in the fanfic section on Sailor Moon Snipits. Please see the fanfic section for examples of fanfics that are appropriate for this website.
Members are asked to submit original fanfics with the following guidelines:
- file format - any document that can be opened in Microsoft Word, TextEdit, or OpenOffice Writer are acceptable. Basic HTML is also acceptable. If you use something that I can't easily re-format, I may ask you to resubmit it in a format that is easier for me to modify for use on this website. This website is coded with HTML and CSS. I have pre-specified CSS styles, so please don't use your own. I will discard them.
- characters - you may include any Sailor Moon characters and any original characters. The fanfic must be Sailor Moon themed. Crossovers with other anime or manga series are okay, but you'll have a more difficult time winning if I don't know the other series. If you want to know if it's okay to do a crossover with a specific series, ask me on the message board or send a Neomail.

- please, make every effort to use correct spelling and grammar. It
doesn't have to be formal English, but pay attention to your verb conjugations (don't switch between past,
present, or future tenses within a sentence;
it's confusing). No run-on sentences unless you have a really good reason to use one. Use semi-colons
properly. If you're not sure, just use a comma. Use a thesaurus! Repetition can become boring if not used
as a rhetorical device.
Please keep the content to maximum of a PG-13 rating. Graphic gore, graphic violence, and graphic sexual content are not appropriate for this website. I may ask you to revise things if I think they're too graphic.
- submission - E-mail the file as an attachment. If you send a link to the fanfic elsewhere online, I won't look at it. Be sure to include your Guardians of the Moonlight username so that I can give credit to the author, and so that I know who to send prizes to on Neopets if you win. Only members of Guardians of the Moonlight may enter.
If your entry wins...
- I will reformat the text to fit with the style of this website. Using bold and italics for emphasis and such in your entry are okay. Try to avoid using underlines (they can be confused as links when posted on a website).
- I will edit spelling and grammar if necessary. If you write with U.S. spelling, I will preserve that. If you write with Canadian or British spelling, I will preserve that. I may use a thesaurus to change some words if I find a particular word is repeated too much, or if a synonym may fit the sentence better. After editing, I will send you a copy for review. With your approval, it will be posted on Sailor Moon Snipits in the fanfic section.

This ongoing contest is for creative poets who'd like to show off their poetry to more readers. Winning entries will be posted in the poetry section on Sailor Moon Snipits.
Members are asked to submit original poetry with the following guidelines:
- file format - any document that can be opened in Microsoft Word, TextEdit, or OpenOffice Writer are acceptable. Basic HTML is also acceptable. If you use something that I can't easily re-format, I may ask you to resubmit it in a format that is easier for me to modify for use on this website. This website is coded with HTML and CSS. I have pre-specified CSS styles, so please don't use your own. I will discard them.
- theme - poetry must be Sailor Moon themed. It doesn't have to obviously Sailor Moon themed, but I should be able to see something of a connection to Sailor Moon.
- quality - please, make every effort to use correct spelling and grammar. Any style of poetry is okay, but acrostic poetry is not likely to win.
- submission - E-mail as inline text or as an attachment. If you send a link to the poetry elsewhere online, I won't look at it. Be sure to include the style of the poetry (if there is no specific style, call it “free verse”) and your Guardians of the Moonlight username so that I can give credit to the author, and so that I know who to send prizes to on Neopets if you win. Only members of Guardians of the Moonlight may enter.
If your entry wins...
- I will reformat the text to fit with the style of this website. Using bold and italics for emphasis and such in your entry are okay, but don't use much as it is poetry. Try to avoid using underlines (they can be confused as links when posted on a website).
- I will edit spelling and grammar if necessary. If you write with U.S. spelling, I will preserve that. If you write with Canadian or British spelling, I will preserve that. After editing, I will send you a copy for review. With your approval, it will be posted on Sailor Moon Snipits in the poetry section.

Name That Sailor Scout (NTSS for short) is a weekly special quiz where members have the opportunity to identify the speaker of a quote from the Sailor Moon series. The quote is displayed on the guild's main page. NTSS runs Saturday to Saturday. The answer for the previous NTSS will be posted on the following Saturday, and a new NTSS quote will be displayed on the main guild page.
The speaker can be:
- any major protagonist (good guys, heroes, heroines) – including Tuxedo Mask, Luna, Artemis, Diana, and anyone listed under heroes on this page.
- any major antagonist (villain) – including all villains named on this page, excluding the monsters of the day.
- any character who has a “Sailor” name (that includes the Animates)
Guessing:
- Post your guess on the Guardians of the Moonlight message board in a post with the subject “NTSS” to make sure it isn't missed.
- Anyone except for Lanisatu and the person who submitted the quote for that week may guess the identity of the character who said the quote.
- No asking Lanisatu or the person who submitted the NTSS quote for the week who said the quote. If you do, we are free to lie and say something silly. (while amusing, this doesn't help you win)
- Please don't use a search engine to find out who said the quote. That's cheating! It's more fun to try and guess it on your own ^_^
- If you want to guess multiple times, keep in mind that you have to clearly say which is your final
guess. You can change your guess; but you can't guess multiple characters and hope to win.
Okay: Guessing Lana. Then you change your mind and say you are guessing Chloe instead.
Not okay: Guessing Lana, Chloe, and Lois. (all at once and not specifying your final decision)
Even if one is correct, it's not fair for you to get a prize.
