Since the updater refuses to take the story to the top so people can read it, here are those author notes again with extra added goodies.

Plot

More or less because I haven't read all the manga, this entire story takes place about...6 months or so after the end of the anime.

The natural extension of this story would to be going after the creators of the FREAK chips. This gives me all sorts of possibilities for plot, which I have explored in my little twisted mind. But you're gonna have to read if you wanna know what happens. I assure you, there will be a kick-ass fight at the end. The plot I have will take me a while to actually finish. I won't be done anytime soon. Theoretically I could continue on with this story for as long as I want but if I did it would start to become repetitive, and I imagine I would get sick of it and end it in some crappy way.

Jack

Jack is my original character. If you didn't know that, you obviously haven't been paying attention. I wanted to add something to the Hellsing universe all my own. And if I've done it correctly he is different than any character in Hellsing. He should be generally nice, sarcastic, witty, and the type of guy who would laugh at dead puppies, but if he actually saw one he would feel bad. I dunno about the dead puppy thing, but if you got the rest I guess I'm doing okay then. Heh heh heh, dead puppies.

When I initially started the story I wanted to avoid what I had done in my previous writing; making my characters perfect. After a few reviews complaining about how Jack lacked flaws I reread it all of my previous chapters. My neighbors complained about the string of profanity they could hear. So I spent the majority of chapter 6 fixing that. I call it my "saving my ass" chapter. Mmmmm.... Can't you smell the character development? I especially like how I did his inner monologue. If I had done it like dialogue to himself it probably would have seemed force, and would have sucked. Yay for me.

I'd have to say the main reason I gave Jack a black belt and a sword is so he could fight Anderson. Dammit Anderson kicks ass and I was tired of the three minute battles he had with Alucard. Alucard just shoots at him a few times and wins. Where's the mega violence? Where's the bloodshed? I mean he gets shot I the friggin head and doesn't even bleed. Christ. So by making Jack initially good with the methods of up-close and personal I get to write some cool fight scenes. Plus I get to make Jack hate Anderson with a burning passion, giving him a little motivation. Also no one else uses a sword in the series besides Anderson, and if you count the manga, Integra, and the crazy schizophrenic nun, who I'm considering adding.

Several people thought that Jack took to being a vampire faster than he should have. The only thing this is based on is Seras, who had sufficient difficulty coping. Jack is more open minded and how should I put this...male. I know from extensive research of being male that guys do weird crap all the time. Drinking blood and stuff probably isn't at the top of the list of stuff we're not willing to do, given the proper circumstances. Ever see Fear Factor? Yeah. Think about it guys, if all you had to do to bench 200 kg (440.925 pounds) get cool powers and crap and all you had to do was drink blood and not see the sun for the rest of eternity. Pretty sweet. And I'm fairly certain that no one in London has ever seen the sun to begin with. Seriously.

Anyway, no he's not getting sunglasses, trench coat and bullet time...yet. Heh heh heh.

Reviews

I get an average of 3 reviews per chapter. Reviews are essential to keep me writing. I mean, what's the point of writing if no one is gonna read right? I would now like to recognize ceras, who has reviewed every single chapter, and misspelled at least one word in each review, without fail. I applaud your consistency and wish to thank you for your good words.

I'd also like to thank the several anonymous reviewers who, for the lack of a better word, informed about Jack being too perfect.

These people help keep me motivated for a better story for you guys to read, so give these people a round of applause, of course they can't hear it so whatever.

Anyway, if I get more reviews, you get more chapters and stabbing. So review! REVIEW I SAY!

I probably should stop now. I might need to do another of these things again, so I might as well save some crap to talk about.

Here is where the new stuff starts.

I swear this is going somewhere. I promise, I'm adding stuff like this for character development and stuff. Trust me.

On the last chapter I explained why Anderson is dead. Go read that, then review. I like reviews. I've read all of them, at least four times. Review and get noticed or something!

Chapters aren't coming as much as we'd all like them to but that's the man's fault. The man, Halo 2, and all the other games that God has cruelly released in a small time frame are defiantly to blame.

The purpose for moving updates to Thursday is so I get an extra day to get everything edited by my wonderful editor, Dark-Mage-Quisits, run through it a couple of times and then post it, however the updater thing hates me.

Can't think of anything else at the moment besides telling you to review...so go do that...right now...I'm looking at you. Why aren't you reviewing?
