 The anime never really took advantage of or explored Minako's past, did
 it?  I mean, beyond those one or two episodes in the first season, I
 don't think her being Sailor V or having lived in England ever really
 got mentioned.

Right. The only instance in which Minako's time in England is EVER addressed
is the original two-volume Codename wa Sailor V manga.

  No, love, Timothy replied, holding her close. You know that you're
the
  most important thing in the world to me. I'd be here even if it meant
losing
  my job and living out of bins.

 Timothy (aside):  ...she can't check that, right?

*snrk*

  She nodded and pocketed the card. I have to go now. Mum's probably
taking a
  fit.

 taking a fit?  British-ism?

Well, yes. After all, England and all...this incarnation of Minako is
half-Japanese, half-British.

  Mamoru's, then glanced at her new fiance briefly before casting her eyes
  away. Please follow me, she said softly. The older boy followed
without a
  word.

 Interesting set-up for their relationship.

If you can call it that.

  thoughtfully for a moment. Well, the one thing I've always wanted was
to be
  a bride, and to have a beautiful wedding.

 Sadly, canon.  Usagi really was spectacularly shallow at the beginning...

Yeah.

  Picking up a black pen, she carefully penned the name of her new
favourite
  client into her notebook:
 
  Timothy S. Arturo

 Naughty boy.

You have NO IDEA.

  legend. The enemy that once laid waste to a dozen worlds has returned.
Much
  weaker, yes. But they cannot be allowed to gain power. He eyed her
  intently. That's where you come in.

 A dozen.  Hmm.  Got the nine standard... count the Moon for ten... the
 usual asteroid belt former planet, eleven... and Nemesis, twelve?

Sore wa...

  bridge overlooking a sizeable park with a lake in the centre. He leaned
his
  bike against the railing and frowned. It might be--I might have found
it
  this time. The maboroshi no ginzuishou...

 Hrm.  I'd probably capitalize maboroshi no ginzuishou, but of course
 that's only a suggestion.

I thought about it, but decided it really works better this way.

  watched people pass by as she sipped her juice, enjoying the
  not-terribly-unpleasant evening breeze. A few cars passed, and there was
a g
  uy on a motorcycle over there.

 I see guy broken up by a newline.

The newlines are a problem with your mail parser. They don't exist in either
the original story copy or the message as posted.

  I've found you at last, Princess Serenity, the panther rumbled in a
deep,
  throaty female voice, fangs glistening.
 
  Usagi screamed.

 Perfectly natural reaction...

Indeed.

 Well, not much in the way of _useful_ comments from me, I suppose, but
 oh well.  It's an interesting start, and of course very well-written.
 Now, on to the next chapter...

Thanks for the comments, and looking forward to the next batch. :)

 Sorry, but the newline does appear in the message as posted. It
 appears in the copy I received, and in the copy in both archives.

 Hmm. OK...the problem seems to have been caused by my mail client when it
reformatted the message. .

Ah well. A few extra newlines aren't going to kill anybody :P
