Basically it's about a geeky guy who saved a woman on the train and then went on to woo her using the advice he was given by anons on 2ch.
So what I'd like to see is Alfred as the hapless geek who is too awkward to get any dates and whose good looks are overshadowed by his incredibly geeky appearance. He spends most of his free time on an anonymous internet forum for other eternal bachelors.
One night he's riding a train and "saves" a distinguished looking gentleman, that is, Arthur. Alfred is immediately taken with him, but can't do anything about it. Arthur asks for his address to send him a token of appreciation later. To Alfred's great surprise he really does get a gift

Pffft anon. This was a cute and funny start! The ASCII art! The Engrish! The Engrish! I can totally see him plugging what he wants to say into Babelfish and thinking that will be enough. :')
The way he "saved" her was cute. Of course he gets way ahead of himself, though. So awkward!
I can't wait to see where you take this! Thank you for filling! \o/
Late OP at least got here before anyone else?

Thank you, OP! <3 There's no better feeling for an anon than knowing they made the OP happy. Some notes I forgot to include:
1. I am not that anon that took dibs on this before, I'm sorry to said anon. You know there are no such thing as too many fills, though, we'd love to see your take on it~ 2. Sadly I can only produce ASCII art and not Shift-JIS art, sacrificing accuracy for legibility. For the same reason there will be very few smilies in this fic, as I do not want to sacrifice readability for accuracy or copypastability. (The one exception is "wwwwwww", which is going to appear all the time because it's everyone's reaction to Alfred's exploits. This is the rough equivalent of "lol" -- more w's, more lol. I did not even include "aru" or "da ze" -- if you can find the "da ze", though, I will be very pleased.) In this fic it'll be very hard to strike that balance, whic leads me to... 3. Alfred's Engrish. Yes, I work really hard on it. (I actually write this entire fic in Japanese and then translate it into English just to make
