-1 for Nerve Damage. I was puking rainbows of facepalmery and shame just from hearsay alone. Way too much asspulling with not enough justification for it besides "uh hey guys I think this might be cool even if there is no basis for it", which would sometimes be okay in my book except the actual presentation of what happens is just...bad.
It's not how you should do a crackfic. Really. Especially if said crackfic is supposed to be "taken seriously" like what the author intends.

Oh yeah, and +1 to Steel and Cherry Blossoms. 'tis a shame it be more dead in the water than a buckshot-ridden duck.
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 The World Without and The Hill of Swords.
-1 to Nerve Damage. I'm willing to bend canon a lot for fanfiction(the amounts of arguments I've had over Arturia Lancer attest to that), I'm not willing to have canon thrown to the ground and defiled with a chainsaw. There was a stupid amount of overpowering Shirou through stuff that makes no sense(word swords, nerves that increase od as well as circuits, 4 sabers). Then there is the orgasming food scene, enough said. Everything in the entire 5 chapters I read seemed to have the goal of allowing the author to have his perfect little fantasy life and I don't read fanfiction to masturbate to someone else's dream.

-1 for Nerve Damage. Yeah, first time I read it I knew it was trouble, but I decided to give it a chance. Then he had to give his Mary Sue( I refuse to call his main character Shirou) 4 Sabers, and make orgasmic cooking( I don't care if he keeps saying it's an omake, the fact is that it used to be a real chapter, and that's enough for me to know that the author is whimsical enough to write things like this and consider it serious), and a horrendous OC. It's basically like one of those terrible Naruto fics where the Naruto gets a power up after being taught by a mysterious OC whose past we don't know of and is basically just an excuse to make him stronger. Shit is like a plague.
+1 for Of Leaves and Lilac. The characterization in this story is impeccable, with few if any divergences from canon (aside from, you know, sexual orientation). In particular, the the contrast between Akiha's outer confidence and hidden insecurities made this the most memorable fan-created work I've ever read. It was emotionally evocative, daring, voyeuristic at times...and even at 272,000 words, I still thought that it was too short.
Haven't seen this here yet, so here's another for you Kyte.
Title: Path of the King
Author: Neoalfa
Genre: Adventure/Romance
Summary: "With swords that aren't yours, with skills that aren't yours, for dreams that aren't yours. Your entire existence is a lie!" - "Then I'll show you that even fake dreams can become reality." A different choice, a different path, a different FATE.
A story about an Emiya Shirou who sought to do something about his surroundings earlier in his life than his alternate counterparts. This Shirou is already properly using his twenty-seven inborn circuits and is training himself to become an 'Ally of Justice', subsequently fighting crime in Fuyuki city, and in the process taking on the mantle of a vigilante known as "Archer".
Pairing(s): Shirou/Multi
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7657235/1/Path-of-the-King
Warnings: N/A
+1 on this fic, reasons being:
A well built and reasonable fic regarding Emiya Shirou's growth along a different line than the canon routes. Characters are acting like themselves, minor extras are made use of, a capable main character through and through, and it also has it's funny moments that I will not divulge into. A good fic for those who want something different then what has been shown in the canon routes.
NASUVERSE STAMPEDE!!!
+1 to all of Velsper's fics listed here.
What I thought when I read this thread's title.
+1 to Chaos Theory, Tainted Ideals, The War of Kings, Fate/Far Side, The Hill of Swords, In Flight, Remember, I Put on My Robe and Wizard Hat, Eureka, The Hound and the Blacksmith, Escaping Fate, The Xth Loop: Sword & Stilled Time, Mahou Senki: Lyrical Days, Steel and Cherry Blossoms, Fate/Night Sky, Savior, Holding Back the Sea, God Slaying Blade Works, Debt of a Sword, and From Fake Dreams.

I would give Nerve Damage a minus but I still read it, if for anything than just the laughs from the Saber interactions.
Words to live by: Fate is a B****, Destiny is a whore, while Karma is just doing her job.
Violence solves all problems. If its not working then you are not using enough.
Even though I am male after taking a 'Which Fate/stay night Character are you?' quiz I am...
Tohsaka Rin You are Rin. Cool and collected, you think logically about most situations. You strive for self-perfection, and rely on others only for your benefit. You may be cold toward most people, but you can be friendly when you try. Indeed, it could be said you enjoy helping others that you care for. Whatever the case, you tend to think logically and don't let emotions cloud your judgement.

Whoops. Dunno how I missed that.
Kyte, you forgot to put my name in the voting against FFD. And my full name on Steel and Cherry Blossoms recommendations.
