So I asked ChatGPT:
Tell me about "Sailor Moon 4200".
And ChatGPT replied:
"Sailor Moon 4200" is a fan fiction series written by Erin Ptah. The story is based on the "Sailor Moon" anime and manga series created by Naoko Takeuchi, but it takes place in the year 4200, several centuries after the events of the original series.
The plot of "Sailor Moon 4200" centers around a new group of Sailor Senshi, who are the descendants of the original Sailor Senshi. The main character is a teenage girl named Karen, who becomes the new Sailor Moon. She is joined by a diverse cast of characters, including other Senshi, humans, and aliens.
The story explores themes of identity, relationships, and the consequences of actions. It also features elements of science fiction, as the characters travel through space and encounter alien civilizations.
One unique aspect of "Sailor Moon 4200" is that it is written in a serial format, with new chapters released regularly on the author's website. The series began in 2002 and is still ongoing, with over 170 chapters currently available.
Overall, "Sailor Moon 4200" has been well-received by fans of the original "Sailor Moon" series, who appreciate the author's attention to detail and the way she has expanded on the original mythology.
I…I don't know what to say. (I forgive you, Erin.)

And that's why you shouldn't trust the results of a chatPGT research. After all it's just a hyped search machine with AI equipment - the results may read plausible, but chances are it's just a misleading conclusion of random semantical connections between correlated content from different websites. I've used duckduckgo to find out more about Erin Ptah who's apparently a writer that published some fanfictions, also on Sailor Moon fandom, but there wasn't anything related to "Sailor Moon 4200", so as far as see, Erin Ptah is completely innocent on that issue.
Wow, that's kind of sweet.
I hope that things are going well for you in general. Your story remains one of the best Sailor Moon fanfics I've read. I just wanted to say that.
Thanks, @BlueLion...that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking, and of course I don't think for a moment that Erin is actually connected with this. I was greatly amused by what ChatGPT invented, though!
Since then I've asked ChatGPT to summarise SM4200, and it can't do it. It takes the hint from "4200" that the story is set in the future, with reincarnated sensei, but every detail it gives is ridiculously wrong.
Fun to play with, though!
Goodness, that AI result is both hysterical and disturbing. Cool that even it praised your fabulous fanfic. I still reread it every year. SM4200 is still one of my all time favorite fanfics and is my favorite Sailor Moon fanfiction specifically.
It might not be able to handle Sailor Moon 4200, but it sounds like ChatGPT is qualified to write a script for Queen Serenity and Her Senshi.
Good to hear from you as always, Angus!
I will always come back to see if there's any new bits <3
Hello Angus, I just wanted to let you know I am still reading SM4200 and I hope you will update eventually. I understand you have a lot of other things to do so I now it will take time. No worries. Cheers!
Always hopeful for a new chapter. I love to reread your wonderful story, Angus!
Hi Angus, I just had my 40th birthday and I am quite certain that I have been following this fic for twenty years... I think that this is a testament to the quality of your story. I'm starting to worry that I will never find out what caused the fall of crystal tokyo, any chance of an update on your progress on chapter 16??
Today I've tried my chances with AI - namely gemini.google.com, asking "Tell me about Sailor Moon 4200" - this was the result:
"Sailor Moon 4200" is a notable, though perpetually unfinished, fan-fiction project that has gained a cult following in the Sailor Moon community for its ambitious world-building and dark, post-apocalyptic premise.
It is most commonly associated with the early "Golden Age" of internet fan fiction (late 1990s and early 2000s).
The Premise
The story is set far beyond the era of Neo-Queen Serenity. In this timeline, the utopian "Crystal Tokyo" did not last forever—it was eventually destroyed by mysterious, monstrous forces.
Setting: The year 4200 AD, roughly 700 years after the fall of Crystal Tokyo in 3478 AD.
The World: Humanity has slowly rebuilt a new civilization, "Third Tokyo," on the ruins of the old moon kingdom's earthly paradise.
The Plot: The story begins with a familiar but grittier setup: a pair of plucky talking cats
(including Artemis) wander the streets of this new world, searching for a new generation of girls to awaken as Sailor Senshi to fight back against the darkness that once destroyed their ancestors.
Why It’s Famous
The "Unfinished Masterpiece": Like many epic fan works from that era, the project was never fully completed, which has added to its mystique. It is often cited in podcasts and retrospective blogs (like the Retro Fanfic Retrospective) as one of the most creative "what-if" scenarios in the fandom.
Atmosphere: It shifted the tone of the series from a "magical girl" romance to a darker, more speculative sci-fi/fantasy epic.
Historical Context: In the early 2000s, fan-run websites often hosted massive "series" that functioned like unofficial sequels. Sailor Moon 4200 was a standout because it didn't just add new villains; it reimagined the entire fate of the Moon Kingdom.
I think that one's a fair recension, don't you think so?
Sounds a lot better than my previous attempt, yeah!
