    I'm opposed to Anarkia as well, would be fine with Traitorous going in.

    Dark Lord Potter part 1 should be out.

    Lemme just unsubscribe from that... there. They never actually find any good stories, anyway.

    HAHA! That's a good point! If you can, unsubscribe from other C2s as well as voting. Every little bit helps!

    Well, the other C2s are kind of useless and irritating.

    Personally I enjoyed Anarkia and think it should be in there.

    Enembee pull vampires kiss immediately. Its so awful I've contemplated pulling it from ff.net. As for dark Lord Potter, it's average at best and wouldn't make the library. If this is supposed to highlight the best of DLP, those two should definitely not be included.

    Vampire's Kiss is even worse than Dark Lord Potter Part 1. Kind of feels funny typing that, but it's a little demeaning to the name if a bad fic bears that title.

    Enembee, how many seconds/thirds are required for fics that were already outright rejected from the library in the first place?

    Syaoran's list:

    It got recommended twice if memory serves, and got rejected twice, badly enough to have those threads deleted.

    Other possible ones to get in.

    [​IMG] Shadow Play by Thor Nairda(nominated by Andromalius) (link)
    [​IMG] The Demon within by Thor Nairda(nominated by Andromalius) (link)
    [​IMG] Ruined in a day (+sequels) by Net girl (nominated by Stalin's Pipe Organs.) (link)

    Shadow Play got rated at 3.63. The demon within at 4.50 but only 4 votes.
    Anyone an opinion about these ones?

    Shadow Play shouldn't make it. Low rating is low.

    You have my sword!

    I second Traitorous and Anarkia for going in, and DarkLordPotter Part 1 and Vampire's Kiss for going out.

    Edit: Oh well, ninja'd.

    Traitorous seems to be going in. 4 to 1.

    I added Abjuration. Rating is good with enough votes.
    Anyone disagreeing?

    Late to the party, but I'm in. Great idea, NMB. I don't use C2s anymore but as a way to advertise the board and more importantly to kick all those candy-bottomed Emoshuns!Snape!Draco! C2s off their emotional high horses I will support this.

    Also will advertise on profile and upcoming story updates.

    Guys, don't get carried away with the adding. IIRC, this isn't meant to be a version of the DLP library on FF.Net. It's meant to be the best of the best + DLP authors.

    For that reason, I vote against Traitorous (guilty pleasure fic at best, and a bad one at that), Anarkia (good when it was published, but now dated), and the Thor Nairda pair (also dated, plus rather fanboyish).

    Haven't read the netgirl one so can't comment.
