And I'd have to use all the money that all of my relatives (combined) own, 'cause I only have three models...

No, its not.
Script format should be avoided at all costs. Its ugly to read, and doesn't have nearly the same degree of descripotion as prose.
And your sample text earns you a smite.

True script format isn't that bad. But most people's "script format" is more what fanfiction.net would call chat format...where it's just Stone: Right, we're all going to play Trivial Pursuit, and we're going to BEHAVE. Matt: Just so long as I don't get stuck with the- *everyone else grabs pieces* Matt: -pink one. Dude, that's totally not fair. I am SO not using the pink one! That's not a script, dangit.

...So... is posting a fragment and asking people's opinions before you continue a bad thing?

Probably is, yes. Its very hard to form a proper opinion of a fic from jsut a little fragment.
And you know what I'll say nine out of ten times.

Um, I would like to ask something:
Would I be allowed to do a fanfic that starts of in the middle of a big heappen battle and worry about the story later?
Also, would I be allowed to use cetin coustom zoids like the royale Gale and Giga Titanis in the fic?

And I would really run spellcheck before submitting any fics. People get angry... |

You should always have some idea where a story is going, even if the characters don't.
If you're going to start in the middle of something and not tell the readers what's going on for a while, that can work IF you don't take too long and don't make it obvious that you're starting that way because you can't think of what to do. Flinging viewers into the action can be either really cool or really argh.
Most of the time it strikes me as argh, so I've avoided doing it myself.

What's the general consensus on killing off a character from the anime? Does that usually lose reader interest right away, or (depending on the story's quality) can it have a really dramatic impact?

I've seen it done well a few times, and horribly a lot of times. If it's done well I can really like it, otherwise I go augh. What're you planning?
Though killing someone off early on usually doesn't work as well, in my opinion, since it's too often used as a way to shock the readers that falls flat-like the throw into doomy battle, that usually just results in "...what?", or "oh, come on, that's got to be a dream". You can blame TV for that one, it does it too...

Generally I advise againdst it; too often it comes off as generally knee-jerk or gratuitious, as ifd the only way to get attention is to kill somone off. This is especially true of very popular or upopular chracters - in the latter case, its easy to interpitate it as authour venting ("I'm gonna kill x off 'coz I don't like 'em")
