    Dagger and Rose was definitely already in there. I decided to err on the side of caution and add all of your stories. If anyone has objections, you're welcome to raise them. If I'd known Brian was as low as that I wouldn't have bothered, but I think the rest of your work more than speaks for your ability as an author and your place in the C2.

    Certainly hope the effort pays off - making more people aware of some of the authors/works on that list is a great idea.

    Thanks a bunch, NMB.

    Humor doesn't rate highly, generally, and the style of humor in Life of Brian is very much hit or miss with whether a reader likes it. (I'm a little surprised it made it into the library, frankly).

    Lost Soul is Dresden Files--I'm not sure if you're including those in this C2. River Run and Harry James Potter: Anagram were experimental pieces and definitely aren't worthy of the C2.

    Scourgify, 101 Uses, Kneepads, and several of the one-shots in Adventures in Child Care and Other One Shots are DLP challenge responses; despite not having dedicated threads, they may be thematic to leave up.

    BAM DLP, welcome to the top 75 C2s in the fandom. We are now the highest rated C2 born within the last 3 years.

    In that case Perspicacity, I shall leave the following in and exclude the others.

    -guilt tripped lurker-

    Great idea enembee. With some of the best fics/authors in one general location, FFNET should become bearable once more.

    This?

    If it gets to >4.00. It's just under atm.

    EDIT: It's up there. Done.

    [​IMG] Tick-Tock, Mr Potter by Hamath

    Just a little more info for you:

    We're currently ranked 75th, but only because FFNet is slow to update. We've gained 173 members in >19 hours and beaten 6151 C2's to get there. Probably for today only, in terms of members vs time, we're the best C2 of all time. Independent, Dark or Powerful Harry has 2,251 subscribers and has been active for 2,164 days. Best of the Best: 1000+ Reviews, a Twilight C2 has been active for 762 days and has 2235 subscribers. If we maintain this current speed of (correct me if I'm wrong) of 13 an hour. We will be the biggest Harry Potter C2 in 173 hours, or just over a week, it would make us the biggest C2 on FFNet, as far as I'm aware.

    By the way, you could maybe precise in the C2's description that DLP is actually DarkLordPotter.net, for those ignorants that haven't heard of DLP yet?

    I'm not entirely sure FFNet will allow URLs in their C2's but I'll try.

    So long as it's mentioned by name, and not just the acronym, that'll be enough for anyone with access to google to find us - FFnet most likely has an automatic filter on URLs.

    Indeed, it dropped out DarkLordPotter.net and I don't want to risk deletion circumventing it. So I added just the full DarkLordPotter.

    I"ll agree that Traitorous should be in and Insurgence Against Azkaban should be out.

    I second this for elimination:

    Dark Lord Potter Part I by pureb99

    Everything likes his Harry Potter and the Boy-Who-Lived (so do I), but the writing in the beginning is that bad, and the direction the story takes doesn't wander into interesting territory. Probably wouldn't make it into the library.

    I think a lot of the shorter one-shots clutter up the community without being amazing, but that's just me.

    That said, I'd like to recommend Rhapsody Belle's superb one-shot "Every Boy Deserves A Dog", but I believe her account on FFnet no longer exists.

    Shadow Play and The Demon Within by Thor Nairda, both of which are highly-respected classics and reside in the library.

    QFT.

    The oneshots are good, there's no denying, but perhaps, once this community is established, they could be trimmed out and put into one of their own.

    That way we'd knock down a Snarry C2 AND a Drarry C2.

    :awesome

    I agree but most of them are good enough. It would be nice if you could just get them together as chapters in a DLP oneshots fic.
