Here it is. It's pretty cool because it goes into detail about Artemis and Oscar's first meeting of him, as well as his style of writing. Plus the mention at the end of your site and my MSTing was pretty cool as well. :) Sincerely, Megane 6.7 P.S. If I find anything else about Oscar, I'll send it along. :) Subject: Re: Query: What is Artemis's Lover?

Oscar (oscarmartinez@hotemail.com) is an anomoly - at least, that is my perecption of him. Oscar claims to be a hermaphrodite (never mind that the male and female genetalia are essentially the same organs, differently affected by estrogen and testosterone), yet refers to himself with male pronouns. Speaking of pronouns, the main character of his stories "Artemis's Lover" (that old standby) and "A Back Day" (sequel to "Artemis's Lover") is Oscar himself, yet the stories are written from the third person. Why is Oscar a pervert? Well, in his aforementioned stories, Oscar claims to be the gay/beastialist lover of Artemis. If you are not a Sailor Moon fan (a "Moonie", except that we're not Korean Christian cultists), here's some background on Artemis: Pronounced "Arutemiisu" in Japanese, Artemis is a white, long-tailed cat (in Japan, long-tailed cats are said to possess supernatural powers), of indeterminate subspecies, except that he is the size and demeanor of a domesticated housecat. His main distinguising characteristic, beyond his laziness and obnoxiousness, is a golden cresent-moon-shaped tattoo on his forehead. Artemis, like his littermate/sister/debate opponent Luna, is a member of a species of anthropomorphic (bearing human characteristics, such as reason, speech, and extrasensory perception) cats living on a planed named Mau, in a unidentified star system. An unspecified period of time ago (thought to be a thousand Earth years), Artemis and Luna were Cat Advisors to Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. For more information on his history, go read a Sailor Moon website. To spare you the trouble of reading "Artemis's Lover", here's the run-down on how Oscar and Artemis "met": Oscar, apparently, is an European-American resident in Tokyo, Japan, and somehow exists in a world in which the Sailor Moon is real, but not concurrently, previously, or eventually a cartoon character, yet he knows that the Sailor Moon charaters are fictitious. Oscar finds out Artemis and Minako's (Artemis's owner) address, and sends Artemis a love letter. Mulling over the letter while walking down a Tokyo street, Artemis is attacked by most dishonorable, unharmonious, alley cats in what seems to be Japan's OTHER major violent crime of the past quarter-century (counting the Kobe child-beheading case, but that's another story...), and is rescued by Oscar, who takes the cat home with him, binds Artemis's wounds, and fornicates with him - and then retruns Artemis to an understanding Minako. Why is "Artemis's Lover" (both Oscar and his story) so infamous? Not only is the story objectionable based on the context (beastiality, which also is a fetish...), but the story is written in such a way as to make people sick! Starting in the spring/summer of 1997, Megane 6.7 has begun the long, painful process of MiSTing Oscar's garbage. The results are akin to putting "Ishtar" into an editing machine and coming out with "The Wizard of Oz". The results can be viewed at: A Sailor Moon Romance http://ww.ctd.nwu.edu/~aerdnahu/ also comes in painful, un-MiSTied form; MiSTied version is distinguished by the suffix "6.7" to the title Tenchi's Vaults of Anime MSTings http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Temple/4007/MSTings.html Web Site Number Nine MiSTing Archive http://pinky.wtower.com/mst3k/mistings.shtml You must have a higher-than-normal emotional-pain threshold for these stories - otherwise, none of the folks here wouldn't be in this line of work. - Arthur A.
