Please don't take offense to this because none is meant, but I voted 'no' for the publication of your story. It's just not ready, not even close. If you could, I want you to go out to the library sometime and pick up some published works. Compare those to your work. They're not even close.
I'm in no way trying to discourage you from writing and continuing to pursue your dream, if this is it. But right now, your work is not publishable material, unless you personally know a publisher or publish it yourself. You have a lot to work on, and I mean a lot. No legitimate publisher would, in their right minds, publish this in its current state.
Once again, no offense is meant by this. You asked for an opinion, a vote, and I gave you one. The potential might be there, but it has not yet been reached. And trust me, if you think I sound nasty, I shudder to think about what will happen when the critics get a hold of you! =]

Already done, the project has been far restarted. 147 pages have been burned. I gave it a huge overall since, Also due to its specific characteristics will be self-published.

Same as I did : I wrote a whole story years ago but I thought after a while that it was total cr*p so I threw it to trash and restarted all over, now it's going good

Well, if it's going to be self-published, I guess you save a lot on printing the editions of the book, since I can't foresee many people wanting it beside perhaps Italian.
Do you actually intend to, like, sell these at bookstores? Or will it be on Amazon or just perhaps out of your own house?

Well its aimed at a certain genre of people, so it will mostly be through Amazon or Ship on Demand, but it could try to get it into the obscure section of a book store. I also plan on being at Arthrocon 2010 so I might have a wide array of audience. But, its been totally re-done and I cut all the cheesy cr@p, they story is very refined and through for the upcoming series.

My, what an ambitious project here.
I'd say what I'd vote but I think it goes without saying. Just one question about this story, kid. Why so serious? HAHAHAHA...

everyone has their own opinion but, the project is completely re-modded, to resemble non of its original form. I cut the chessy stuff and get to the point. There are no Mary Sues and I made damn sure of it.
