"Sailor Moon" Fan Zine Kickstarter Shut Down Due to Copyright Dispute
Project raised $8,500 for a zine planned to feature over 60 pages of color artwork from other 45 remarkable contributors

Here's an example of why there isn't much of a doujinshi scene in North America, particularly not in regards to print doujinshi. Sailor Moon fanzine "Moon Power" was looking good. It raised over $8,500 in Kickstarter crowd funding. It was set to feature some really interesting tribute art from some really interesting artists. Unfortunately, pre-orders have been halted after Kickstarter pulled the fundraiser due to a copyright claim.
The DMCA Notice was submitted by Random House, who distributes Kodansha manga, such as Sailor Moon, in North America.
From Kickstarter's post of the DMCA notice:
