Try this. It uses the General Program Mode, which is a bit more flexible:

program:

# Candidate template for non-fanfiction books
reg_title = strcat(
	field('title'),
	finish_formatting(
		field('series_index'),
		'0>2s',
		' -',
		'- '
	)
);

# Candidate template for fanfiction books
fanfic_title = strcat(
	field('title'),
	' (',
	field('#chapters'),
	'ch, ',
	field('#words'),
	') ',
	field('#status'),
	' ',
	format_date(
		field('#updated'),
		'M-d-yy'
	)
);

final_title = strcmp(
	field('series'),
	'Fanfiction',
	reg_title,
	fanfic_title,
	reg_title
);

Basically, calculate the two templates, and check the value of series to see if it matches (case-insensitive) "fanfction". Then return whichever template is appropriate.
The last function is the return function, so final_title is the return value of the template.


This looks a little bigger than it really is because I prefer whitespace for readability.
