You were saying?

It's true that the content of FSN is pretty dark (though not as dark as you're worrying about, I think). But for me, the real fun of the series came after that. It's a great bunch of characters (especially Rin), and there's a wealth of fan takes on the characters and their dynamics that I enjoyed greatly. Of course, they're all hugely spoilery, but I'm essentially immune to spoilers at this point - hell, I spent this week working on the final episode of a show that I'd never seen any other episode of, just as a test project, and that's not the first time the job has forced me to learn about the end of a series before I've seen it.

Of course, it's not unusual for a series to have a bunch of doujin associated with it, but FSN's unusual in that it's got a lot of comedy stuff, not just the normal ero, and that people have been translating them for a while, so there's plenty available in English. Stories about Shirou and Saber? Shirou and Rin? Shirou and Ilya as big brother, little sister types? Caster as moe-moe housewife? Harem jokes? Archer as Santa Claus? They're all out there.

So stick with it if you can; the show itself has a light at the end of the tunnel, but beyond that there's all sorts of fun things to check out.
