Genre is one of those things you should probably be able to get from reading the blurb--which is also on the rec side, so blame the people who rec it or the authors like me that are lazy about summaries. Chapters is pretty irrelevant when we know they're either something you gotta really sit down for or something you can easily eat up in one sitting. And complete/incomplete might be annoying for the longer fics where that can change.
Localizationing stuff
I'm not checking every fic every time to know whether they're done or not. If someone wants to contribute that information I'll gladly add it. (I have indeed marked some fics as complete) You should be assuming incomplete unless told otherwise, anyways. (For long stories at least. Short stories tend to be one-shots)Originally Posted by spamholderman
The other two, just plain no. Genre's too nebulous and it's already hard enough to classify'em as long story or short story.

+1 to Fight/Knight. The boxing matches are gripping and draw you into their flow. The relationships between characters well reflect the differences caused by the setting. The interpretation of each character and how they fight into boxing is a particular strength and draw of this fic; even at three chapters this story is well developed and worth a recommendation.
+1 to Savior.
+1 to Jokin' Zouken. Because.

Kyte, I think you mentioned that you could add a completed note if a story was finished?
Because From the Azure to Zero is.

Righto
Miscellaneous thought, but how long should you wait before reccing a fic? I'm saying this because there's one fic I might rec, but it's only three chapters in and hasn't had any fight scenes yet, so I'm not sure if it's too early.
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
6000+ words sound good for a long fic, I guess.
You can always derec if it turns out the fights sucks or the story goes full stupid.

O piteous Wanderer.
Isn't 6,000 words usually just one or two chapters? I'd wait until at least 3 to 5.
It's a good idea to always rec promising fics. This draws in new readers and helps gather more opinions early. It's also easy to withdraw or change a rec afterwards, so no hesitation required.
If you feel a fic deserves a recommendation after one or two chapters, odds are good it's doing something right.

O piteous Wanderer.
There's no guideline for it. I supported Saturday Morning Grail War at just two chapters.
There's something to be said for stories that have already proven themselves with several strong chapters and a clear sense that the author knows what he's doing, but Bloble makes a good point about drumming up interest in something with potential.
Now that you've brought it up, I'm curious to see what this three-chapter story has to offer.
The thing is, it does have noticeable flaws, especially in the first chapter. It's just that I liked it despite that, but I think those flaws might bother some people quite a bit more than they bother me.

In that case, if you rec it then other people will be able to provide their opinions. If they think its bad, then they can say so. Everybody benefits really.
Welp. Here goes.
+1 Servant of Zero, by Mazuku Torai'nu.
Basically, it's a FSN/ZnT cross where Louise summons Archer. As in, the actual Counter Guardian this time. Weirdly enough, despite the premise of the original fic, there haven't been many starring actual vanilla Archer.
Is it perfect? No. There are slips of grammar here and there, occasional "extrapolations" from canon, and yet it avoids quite a few of the pitfalls that most GB-inspired fics tend to fall into. There are no huge infodumps, Archer isn't depicted as super!bloodthirsty!Future Harlequin Romance Novel lead, and as far as I can tell, the characterization is quite consistent with canon. Plus, the author seems to know where he's going with it, and is aware of the pitfalls.
For me, it's a fun story. The character interactions are entertaining and realistic, Louise is more than just VIOLENT RAGE TSUN GRAAHH, and Archer is calm, analytic, and not the sociopath people tend to twist Shirou and his variants into.
Plus, I have a soft spot for Archer fics, but that's just me.

You mean how the character is supposed to be? Color me pleasantly shocked.Archer is calm, analytic, and not the sociopath people tend to twist Future Harlequin Romance Novel lead and his variants into.
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
+1 to A Clock Tower Affair, by Bloble. In case there isn't a summary of it yet, it's a crack fic take on Rin's time as a student at the Clock Tower. The Affair may or may not have happened yet with Waver's wife.
'Fae is Foul' - My SAO/ZnT Crossover fanfic (SB Thread) (FFN Link)
I just finished reading it, so far it appears to be fairly interesting but I am going to wait until it has a few more chapters before I make my final decision.
+ 1 to The Wagtail's Cuckoo by Syroc
An interesting "what if Future Harlequin Romance Novel lead was raised by X" and Sekirei crossover that I have among my favorites that explores the common premise with an original (afaik) twist. Syroc was/is an acquaintance/friend of mine.
