Not a good example, because the authors in the SW EU didn't exactly strike it big or anything since most of the money went to the license. They had to have other jobs, writing or otherwise, thus they personally were not successful.

Localizationing stuff
From what I understand, it's ~$30k plus a far far smaller fraction of royalties than normal, plus whatever you might get to go to stuff like conventions and such to promote it. It also depends whether hardback or paperback. It's more than a starting author or someone like a harlequin writer, but less than a major publisher like Penguin or something.

This is from stuff Allston and Stackpole have said at the height of NJO.

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.
Buttercup Diaperbreath is in the building
It's a HP/ Doctor Who cross, Visited by a Doctor. Where young Harry keeps meeting the Doctor (always either a different version or companions) throughout his childhood. No real effect on the main HP story, but the post Hogwarts years are when the time lines start to sync with the new series and everything gets interesting.

I gotta ask, what is the general view of fics like Fate's Gamble and Fate/Zero Sense + Stay Away?
Zero Sense and Stay Away in my opinion are very good, although Gamble is a bit...overdone. Harry suddenly becoming a Vampire/Gorgon hybrid with Zelretch, Stheno, Euryale, and Waver as surrogate parents is too...much I guess?
F/GO friend code: 319871588/solopy567
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.
They're all bad honestly. Like really so.
In my opinion they're [Zero/Sense and its sequel] amusing, since the Grail Wars lend themselves to "Ultimate Showdowns of Ultimate Destiny"... but only if you don't mind throwing the actual mechanics of the Nasuverse out of the window. I enjoyed reading them myself and understand why they are popular, but at the same time I recognize that they are not actually good fan fiction, save as crack. And then of course they spawned even lower quality imitators and the whole idea, while actually funny once or twice, becomes rapidly overdone and cliched.
Of course, a Lupin the 3rd / Fate crossover is in the category of crackfics too just for how unusual the crossover is, but it's a more nuanced and competent effort by The Infamous Man than Fate/Zero Sense.

Treat them like a goofy summer blockbuster that the director is now ashamed of because he's moved on to better things that aren't purely style over substance.
I would like to Recommend Extrinsical's Unfinished Business
One day, Shinji approached them on the roof of Homurahara Academy. Post UBW, game verse.
Well written with a well thought out plot. Reminds me of the Letters Series. Plus honest to god Shirou x Rin. What's not to love. Has a thread here too but only the first chapter is posted there. FF has all five current chapters. Link here: http://forums.nrvnqsr.com/showthread...ished-Business
