This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

I haven't seen more than an episode of SMA, but SKU:PID will be more fandubby than voice-gimmicky and I'm not in the business of yoinking other people's characterizations. Thus, no Sailor Mars.
I wasn't thinking characterization as such, more about Mars Abridged's No Indoor Voice. It could also serve as a good reason why he finds her so annoying.
SMA Episode featuring Mars' Voice

I've already planned out the series, so there is a super dooper big chance that suggestions made here aren't in it. You guys will just have to wait and see what comes up!
FYI: SKU:PID, and most of the other series I work on don't take outside suggestions from fans, or even other abridgers/voice artists. A good chunk only have writing and brainstorming limited to 1-2 people, with no one else on the team getting a say. One of reasons for this is that people usually end up saying things like "Do something like X from series Y!" or try to shoehorn something outside of the writing/humor style and series vision. It's a lot better to write original and focused than to run the risk of having the end product seem like a rip-off or a delayed and overwrought hodge podge of misdirected ideas.
I'm sure you could take your ideas and make your own series though! Since you already have a few ideas, I'm sure you'd be able to make your own vision for an Utena fan series.

I really liked Naji's Utena Abridged, and I was pretty sad when I discovered it was no longer being updated. I hope you guys don't share the same fate, because you're really good.

Nanji's was super awesome, and it totally sucks that some of them got taken down. I'd be a super happy penguin if it started updating again. In the mean time, we're gonna stick around till End of the World. ...but it might be super slow between episodes.

I have to admit, I never thought of Utena as a diluted ginger before. South Park reference?

"Let's Go, Miracle Grow?" Surprised he can grow with that much shade being thrown on him!

That was just amazing. Great writing, great acting, and decent quality control too! I can't really say what my favorite gag was, every line was gold.

Glad you enjoyed it! The Utena remastered footage is a bit hard to work with because of the shaky frames and eternal panning. It's loads easier than the CPM DVD footage though!
