As its name suggests, Shinji and Warhammer40k is a Neon Genesis Evangelion Fan Fiction that incorporates elements of everyone's favorite Grim Dark sci-fi setting into everyone's favorite brutal Humongous Mecha Deconstruction. Shinji Ikari, the resident Butt Monkey of the Eva series, discovers a case full of Warhammer 40000 miniatures and rulebooks at a very young age, with a profound affect on his personality, character, and relationship with his guardians. He takes a full 20 levels in badass as a result, becoming a Badass Bookworm Magnificent Bastard who knows no fear, charges headlong into combat without hesitation, exhibits nearly prescient planning abilities, and earns the respect reverence and adoration of his people for his heroism.
In the second chapter, he actually arrives in Tokyo-3 and meets his Evangelion. From there, things become only more Crazy Awesome.
Though the fic's title is simply Shinji and Warhammer 40K, there's numerous other influences at work. The overall framework of the story loosely follows Evangelion's established sequence of major events, although anything else that's strictly canon is pretty much kicked to the curb around the end of chapter nineteen. Shinji himself evolves into some amalgamation of Paul Atreides, Batman, Big Boss, Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!), Carrot Ironfoundersson, Kamina, Lelouch vi Britannia, Ender Wiggin, and unless he's careful, The God-Emperor of Mankind. The story oscillates between pitched battles that manage to top the fight scenes from Eva and domestic comedy worthy of Tenchi Muyo, the mood between the bleak despair resulting when you add Grim Dark to Evangelion and Hot Blooded defiance in the face of imminent defeat. Cast members are developed in interesting ways but not to the point of being warped beyond recognition, while the realities of Second Impact and the implications of such an event are explored to a greater extent than the source material. The author has managed to write an Eva 'fic that replaces the Wangst and navel contemplation with Beyond The Impossible, the Rule Of Cool, and chainswords, understanding and respecting the source material but doing something completely different with it. The result is something that both Eva and 40Ks fanbases can enjoy, while acting as a bridge between them and a gateway beyond. The author has also acknowledged TV Tropes as an aid to the fic. Be aware, though: Chekhov's Armoury is very much in effect, and continuity can be tricky to follow as a result.

I'm not even going to look. Somebody be a trooper and describe the horrible details.
I believe someone putting the artistic effort into emasculating classic literary characters is much more noteworthy than some 16 year old who just got a C- in English Lit. But maybe that's just me.

Yes, and the 'competing' fic to Shinji and W40K is Thousand Shinji, which is at it sounds.
Thousand Shinji is a Neon Genesis Evangelion/Warhammer 40000 fanfic that takes a different tack from the "competitor", Shinji And Warhammer 40 K. In this reality, Warhammer 40000 as a universe exists or at least did, before the Xanatos Roulette of the warp powers started. Shinji was found as a young boy and trained by Khnemu, displaced Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons Legion. When summoned by Gendo to Tokyo-3, Shinji begins his own machinations to repay Gendo for his "kindness", only to have things turn out not quite as planned.
Completed, with Mega Crossover sequel The Open Door currently on hiatus.
There's a sequel, entitled The Open Door, which is safely ignorable because it's fairly shit.
Hrm, we've got a page or so left. I could start linking Nanoha fic...

Edit: re: "nooo japan why" - there are certain things that really do deserve to be posted under that heading (people marrying hug pillows, etc.), but a lotr doujin really doesn't. I'm sure you think tolkien's work is the definitive piece of fantasy literature but uh people write fanfiction, satire, parodies and pastiches all over the world. japanese tradition is to do so in doujin form. Is this any different than Bored of the Rings in any other way than the medium it's presented in?

Fanfiction worth reading sounds a lot like the idea that ice can be hot.
The idea of a tabletop RPG turning an introvert into a badass alpha male sounds a bit backwards.
It's not the RPG itself, per se. To quote one of the trope entries "As a child, Shinji talked to his four favorite figures: a Space Marine, an Eldar Farseer, an Ork Warboss, and a Chaos Space Marine. At some point, they started talking back. Sometimes to other people."
If you're familiar with WH40K you'll have some idea of how they could be capable for transforming Shinji into something that isn't a giant wuss when they function kind of like spirit advisors.

A lot of crap with a bit of good stuff.
If you want the *really* bad stuff, you typically have to go to other sites.
Given all the recent Pokemon talk in IRC 'cause of HG/SS, I've been tormenting people with excerpts from an absolutely brutal fanfic.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~aceywacey/pokemon.htm
It's a Pokemon fic inspired by Fist of the North Star, among other things. No, it is far less awesome than that would sound.
Jesus christ is that old. I remember someone linking me to that in... middle school.
I mentioned this last year, but Shinji and Warhammer40k.
Actual fanfic found here.
For those too scared to click either link:
This is amazing.

It was cool, though.
Sora no Woto 8: dumb comic relief episode. Hopefully that means a turn for the dramatic is on the way.
Did not expect that.
Sadly, however, I am not surprised by the vagina tree.
There can never be too much time for AWESOME.
Also, what's the song?

What is this, Sexy Magical Girl?
Also, I have been told that the next anime thread OP is going to be fantastic.
