Is there some sort of format you want the text to stick to, or do you just want a straight summary of the plot?

Hello,

How about having a team that can build a guide entry from several perspectives then unify the results? Being a Newbie, I have the interest but not the insight from the original novels. Be glad to have my version edited by more informed souls and have the time to rework.

For the Aug 11 deadline, do I cut and paste into a standard message to you? JK Newbie

Well, my character bios will be done in a day or two, so I might work on this then. However, if someone else wants to do it, I will focus on another project(maps, screenshots, fanart/fanfics, etc.)

I do want to point out that some episodes are just recaps of previous episodes and would not need much of a guide. I will probably do one for episode 1 at least, just to see if you guys think its pretty good.

After writing out an Ep 1 guide for submission, I read through literally every forum response to track any obvious problems. Tough to make die-hards happy, instead went with the premise the reader is new and their only source of info is the anime. Each Ep Guide then builds on the previous info and current Ep only. No images included with this submission but I suggest thumbnails of characters, etc. as available, to pair with the text. Back to the rewrite... o_O

Amended - read the Chapter 1 translation and found many missing pieces from the anime. I wonder what the feeling is about novels vs. anime?

The only person to submit something was JK Newbie, so he gets the job. Although, I was a little disappointed by the lack of involvement
