It's one thing when you have the narrator (and probably some highly educated characters) speaking like they're picking the longest and most obscure words they can find out fo the dictionary. It's another thing entirely when the entire piece is written like the writer's afraid somebody'll finish, or even understand, the fic.

How does it feel to be a member of the plebeian peasants killing literature?
Antidisestablishmentarianism.
Yes, it's a legit word.
My attempts at being a (fanfic) writer:
Eclipse - a Saber Alter oneshot
Requiem for a Race - Altrouge and Ortenrosse hunt the TAs ( 1/3 chapters, discontinued )
Memories of a King - a 'Saber Origins' story ( 8/? chapters, discontiuned )
A Small Warmth - a post UBW-Good oneshot, Saber/Rin
Devil's Thrill - Narbareck hunts down a DAA Blackmore ( 10/10 chapters, finished )
Boundary of Loneliness - Ryougi Shiki/Alphard Al-Shua oneshot. Lemon-flavoured
+1 to And Then Rin Messed Up, and hoping for a sequel.
I'll go +1 on "And Then Rin Messed Up" as well.
Quotes & Stuff...No, no stuff, just quotes
Because I felt it was time for me to do this again:
+1
Title: Fate/Night Sky
Author: fraggle
Genre: Action, Drama, Tragedy, Crossover (Nanoha)
Summary: It was just a small wish: To live with their master and their friends as those uneventful days passed by, to see him grow up as he chased his ideals by his own strength. To become an ally of justice; a hero who can save everyone.
Pairings: None At the Moment
Comments: Probably the best Nasuverse/Nanoha crossover I've read thus far. Rather than mash the two universes together along the lines of canon, the fic instead starts off with the basis of Shirou becoming the Master of the Book of Darkness and the Wolkenritter at a young age, keeps it firmly grounded in the FSN setting, while slowly introducing elements from the Nanoha-verse. Scenes transition smoothly from light hearted comedy and slice of life to darker, plot moving points without feeling out of place, and the main cast feels well situated for both. The character interactions are varied and interesting, even those involving just the supporting cast. The fic also delves into the development of Shirou's character very well, but thankfully stays away from overplaying his hero tendencies.
Title: Postnupital Disagreements
Author: Zalgo Jenkins
Genre: Action, Drama, Romance (if you can call it that)
Summary: Years after his parents survived Heaven's Feel, the son of Kayneth and Sola-Ui finds himself in a different sort of supernatural tournament. But can he survive superpowered alien females, scheming businessmen, and his own partner's urge to strangle him?
Pairings: Meriwether x Benitsubasa
Comments: If there's one good thing that the utter trainwreck that is In Flight brought into this world, it's this fic. The premise itself is a mix of a surprising well thought out AU on the Fate Stay Night side (which drastically changes the outcome of the Fourth War) and a heroine shift on the Sekirei side. The result is one of the most hilariously dysfunctional pairings in fanfiction. Aside from the Romantic Comedy aside though, the narrator shift to the child of an old school magus provides some interesting internal dialogue as well as a darker outlook on the nature of Sekirei and their little tournament. Furthermore, the fic strays very far from canon, so the plot is refreshingly original.
(Yes, I realize I already +1'd this next one, but I wanted to be a bit more in depth.)
Title: Went Left, Mind Flayers
Author: Arashi_Lionheart
Genre: Adventure, Supernatural, Drama, Horror
Summary: Both Shiki and Shirou's high schools share a senior trip destination. Unfortunately, that destination is into the home of a crazed magi and his demonic aberrations. When separated from the rest, Arihiko, Ayako, Shinji, Satsuki, and Issei must somehow band together to survive a land of horrors. Post-Ciel, Post-UBW.
Pairings: Shiki x Ciel, Rin x Shirou (though both are hardly focused on)
Comments: A rather interesting story that chooses to stick the supporting casts of Tsukihime and FSN together rather than the main characters. The odd companions are then thrown into a situation full of high school drama, teenage hormones, and ... monsters? Despite the somewhat baffling setup, the interplay between all the characters is solid and sometimes hilarious, the tension is definitely present during the horror scenes, and Satsuki gets to show off her stuff. Overall, a great short story.

+1 to Fate/Night Sky again, because it goddamn well deserves it.
i second this, i can only wait until it's finished.
The slow burn of Fate/Night Sky works out pleasingly well so a +1 from me as well. Might as well also offer a +1 to fraggle's Lyrical Days while I'm at it.
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.
I have some fics to recommend they are by Cosmic Compiler:
All three are Crossovers with Fate/Stay night, but at different points, the first one
Title: Castlevania Fate of the Dragon

Summary: A young Mathias Cronqvist meets Altria Pendragon, watch how he loves her and loses her, leading him to become the lord of the night, Lord Dracula.
Pairings: Mathias Cronqvist X Altria Pendragon.
Title: Castlevania Finale of the Dark Ballad
Author: Cosmic Compiler

Hundreds of fics still using "Arturia" and you single out one that uses a SLIGHTLY less incorrect variation.
Unfortunately, it's canon.
Edit: Altria that is. Arturia makes little sense, but sounds better. Artoria is the most correct version.

I am of the personal belief that the Tsukihime Remake is two years from release. It will remain as such until a release date is announced, at which time its actual release date is 6 months after that date.
What are you going to do about it, Koto? Huh?

Artoria is literally canon.
Engrish is as engrish does.

Where's the review. I require a minimum of user input, not just coypasting.
It'll take a fate remake and correct translation to change people's opinion about which one is the "right" one.
For Fate of the dragon i cannot say much, it takes a new look at Altria own problems, she is a king passing for a man and slowly falls in love with one of the few that know her secret, likewise the young Cronqvist starts falling in love with Altria, beyond that i cannot say the fic has only one chapter.
For Finale of the Dark Ballad it takes an other interesting step, we learn that Altria is well aware who Mathias became, thus it changed her wish to a degree, i find that interesting, she went from wanting herself erased from history to wanting to redeem or end Mathias Suffering.
Minuet of a Cursed fate has the unwilling Soma Cruz start a relationship with Saber, while he so far looks like a clone of Shirou he is by far smarter than shirou ever was in his war, he also has access to his own brand of spells, soul scan, he checks his soul for past spells or weapons and can reproduce them, an interesting take on Soma's powers of Domination over the soul.
