Probably the only shounen out there with an actual plot.

I'll read this thing when you do it, but chances are you'll be like a crab from Genji 2 and I shall attack your weakpoints for massive damage. Best of luck to you though. ^_^ I honestly hope you manage to be the 1 in 172372108321 people who doesn't suck.

So, what you're saying is that there hasn't been a single author in all of human history that you actually liked? Personally, I'd make it more like 1 out of every 100,000 who don't suck (at least if we include all fan story authors in our figures, as well as regular ones).

Talking about getting things literally

Being literal is a good thing, except when it's more amusing to be non-literal.

I can't take anyone who thinks they can create a good story, much less a fanfic story, seriously if they haven't made an effort to correct a spelling error in their topic title in the past week.

Well, can't say I agree completely, but if we start on this one we'll get so far from Berserk that we'll be celebrating our New Year in Interstice

Neither did I. Nice catch, DarkenRahlX, but I don't know that I'd totally dismiss an author for one spelling error. Hell, I occasionally find spelling errors in published novels, and they have a huge amount of editing and proofreading done to them, so it's not that big of a problem.

Yeah, I know I can't be called impartial in this, but don't you think you're being a tad hasty in your judgement?

I've been motivated ever since I got more than two people expressing a willingness to comment on it. One thing I've learned from projects in the past is that one bit of well thought-out negative feedback is worth ten compliments that don't name any specifics.
To put it differently: When I need criticism, I know which forum to turn to.
Currently a little over a page into the first piece, although I should warn you that Guts won't be making an appearance in person; in fact, violence will be minimal.

fine by me as long as it makes sence
and of course I'm willing to post an opinion as well
how critical it will be depends on teh mood

As for me, how critical I am will depend in large part on how much I find to be critical about. Although I'd like at least a chapter or two to work with before commenting.
