I think it would be great to have a custom deck that you can create that is separate from your RevTK deck.
For example, let's say I'm reading a drama script in Japanese.
And I write down all the kanji that I need to review.
I would like to be able to create a custom deck and pass/fail the cards as I
normally would with my RevTK deck (and the failed cards would show up in
my RevTK failed list).
Basically, what I'm looking to avoid is having to:
1)Erase my entire RevTK deck
2)Add the custom kanji
3)Review the deck
4)Erase the deck
5)Add all the RevTK back again
So I think it's be great if there was an extra deck that we
can use as a scratch pad to add and remove as we please.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I think you're describing having a separate deck of kanji needed for a particular text and having the stats of that separate deck be reflected in your main RTK deck?
I'm thinking that at your level you'd be thinking in terms of vocab, not individual kanji. So you'd have a vocab deck (tagged for different texts, if you want to review those separately before reading.)
If you're keeping an RTK deck in order to maintain kanji writing ability, then perhaps you could add a field to collect the vocab that you're acquiring as you read. Eventually your writing reviews could consist of vocab you know on the question side (target kanji omitted) and you write the kanji. The benefits are maintaining writing skills (without spending the time doing vocab or sentence dictation) and seeing the kanji in context.
But perhaps I misunderstood your aim.
Not sure if this is what you mean, but when I'm reviewing vocab in Anki and I fail a word more than once I click the star button and then later on like when I'm done studying for the day, or the next day before studying, I go to the Tools menu, and choose "Cram" and then select "Marked" and it creates a temporary deck out of all the cards that I've marked. When I'm done reviewing it I click finish and the deck is gone and I'm back to the regular vocab deck.
The intervals are short, a card marked good will return in about 20min, "easy" an hour, though I've never had enough marked cards to see one twice, usually only about 7-8 at a time.

Hi everyone,
I'm writing a simple java program to search a text file and extract all of the RTK1 kanji
that appear in the file.
Then what I'd like to do is create a custom RevTK deck using those kanji.
I'd rather have a RevTK deck than an Anki deck, since I can fail cards and also
see the stories that other people are making.
Imagine something like the "Reading" tab on RevTK. There is a text box that I copy/paste a list of kanji. I click a button and RevTK makes a temporary deck that I can study right there.
I plan to use this on drama scripts.
So that I can review all the kanji in each episode before I start reading the script.
Of course, I can make vocab/sentence decks along the way as I'm reading.
The plan is kind of like:
Weekdays => review drama scripts
Weekend => review kanji that will appear in the next episode(s)
It might not be like this every week, but that's the general idea.
Another thing I've noticed lately is that some manga/light novels are being released on torrent sites with text files than contain the entire story (i.e. people are typing out the manga/novels and they do proofread checks to ensure quality :-).
So I could do the same thing for those manga/light novels.

So reading FNN isn't too bad for me.
Yes. Just like you said, people who haven't finished RTK shouldn't do this.
If everyone who would use this has already finished RtK.... why would they want a list of kanji they already know from this site?
So that they could review all the kanji that will appear in the script and study the ones that they failed. This makes the reading experience much easier.
This helps me to focus more on vocab/grammar study when reading the script and not be interrupted by kanji I've forgotten and have to re-study.
