About half the stuff on Dassadecs list is nearly complete crap...and in some cases that's being generous.

There should at least be a general rule: The story has to be complete, or at least far enough in to get the general idea where it's going.

I only put up stuff that I've read myself and found to be good, or that people I know to have decent taste recommend. And my own stuff, of course, which is just blatant self-advertisment. :p

That said, if y'want anything I've put up taken down, tell me about it.

Any names? If anything is to be done we'll need some specifics.

Mmm Specific?

Dudley's Dilemma by kakistocrat reviews
Dudley Dursley had a very nice life. A good job, a nice house, a loving family. He even had his parents living nearby. Then, one short walk with his four year old daughter changed that all.
This is a story that I thought had an interesting premise but had rather subpar writing.

Hmm...strange to get my stuff put up in your C2. Not that I'm complaining - just - well...

Ah, hell with it. Nice to know that people are reading, anyhow.

Keep up the good work.

Personally, I'm limiting myself to additions that aren't also on my personal favorites list since anyone can just as easily look there for more stories. That, and I'm also somewhat elitish about my standards for what makes it in.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting here now is because I have a possible addition and I want to make sure others like it before I put it up.

It's a crackish Harry Potter meets Jusenkyo fic. I'm already laughing at only halfway through the first chapter.

I ask to remove this from the TFF community
Harry Potter and the Long Kiss Goodnight by wargear reviews
Just what made Dumbledore so confident that Harry would be safe with the Dursleys? Chapter 10 the letters arrive.

This fic is kind of bad. The first chapter changes Petunia so much, the author might as well had made an OC. Which they did by using the ol' "I'm-not-who-I-thought-I-was!" plot device.

Honestly, I think it may even be a self-insert fic, covered by the fact its an OC fic. Which is even worse...

That said, I read chapter 1. Thought it was crap, decided to ask for the removal of this fic from the TFF community. Then read to chapter 5 just in case i made a snap judgment.

It use to be true that i could click on any link in the TFF community and find a quality fanfic. Now? I am kind of wary, there are lots of fics in there that are somewhat questionable... :(

Holy crap. I couldn't even finish the first chapter. It seems that the author is an idiot. Either that or he believes that no one else can think. At all.

ôWeÆve got you now Potter!ö he looked around ôPotter? Damn, I could have sworn he was here a second ago.ö The lead Death Eater sounded disappointed.

ôOh, look. Muggles.ö A second one piped up with.

ôI guess with no Potter here, weÆll have to torture them. I mean, if we returned to the Dark Lord and said æSorry we couldnÆt find Potter so we just leftÆ, you saw what he did to Lestrange for failing him in the Ministry.ö Death Eater number three pointed his wand towards Vernon, ô You filthy muggles arenÆt fit to breathe the same air as us, so IÆm quite afraid youÆre going to have to suffer, Crucio.ö
What the hell is this? These guys have to be the most half-assed death eaters ever. They couldn't even be bothered to look for him outside of the room they were in. This one's gone.

...It seems that Dassadec has another bad recommendation to his name. I never seem to get any complaints about anyone else's stories.

Yeah. I couldn't really finish either, but I figured that there was a reason that it was in there as a rec, so I skimmed the rest of the chapters.

Also, there are a couple of stories that are as bad or worse than this in the TTF community.

Could you give me some examples? I'll try to look them over. If they suck, I'm getting rid of them.

I'd like to remind people that, since I'm not looking to be arbitrary here, I'll only remove a story if someone posts a complaint and I can't even finish the first few chapters. There's a reason it's called The Fanfiction Forum's Community and not Loki Nishizaki's community. On that note, if you want to add a story to the C2, all you have to do is ask.

Sure. No problem. I'll send you some questionable fics later.

I didn't mean to imply that there were alot of fics that were horrible. People like different things after all. What may be horrible to me may be semi-decent to others and what may be good for me could be unspeakably bad for others.

I think your policy on this is rather good.

It would be nice if we had more fandoms in there. Harry Potter with a smattering of Naruto isn't all that useful to me.

Well... for someone who doesn't care much for Harry Potter (well... okay that's me) since there's so many of them cluttering the pages, why don't we give it a seperate C2?

Some of these might be up there, but I don't think a lot of them are:

I Knew Him When by Adam Kadmon

In Another Lifetime by Jade Hunter

Silence of the Damned by Daystar Clarion

Choices by Mike2 (really well written even if the content is rather heavy Ranma-chan)

Freaks Flock Together by Agent Orange (Best Cowboy Bebop fiction I've ever read and the characterization is spot on)

Recall Alice when she was just small by Harmonic Friction (has its faults and portrays Harry as rather OOC, but it has a number of rather strong points for a slice of life HP, which is almost impossible to find)

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Lord Voldemort by Cheryl Bites (seems a bit yaoi-ish in parts, but its primarily a parody and is funny as hell so simply take everything with a grain of salt and you'll be fine; anything that uses Voldemort's nerotic fear of nuclear war as a plot device is 5 stars)

By the way, is it me or is this fic... rather... well... very average? Or even... below average?

As Yet Untitled by bellerophon30
A Post-Hallows story, not counting the Epilogue. Harry and company are adults now and new pressures arise, along with a new/old villain.
Harry Potter - Fiction Rated: T - English - Mystery/Suspense - Chapters: 33 - Words: 232,909 - Reviews: 495 - Updated: 4-4-09 - Published: 5-17-08

I mean firstly, it does not have a proper title yet after... 33 chapters and 232k words?

And next, I could not get past the first few paragraphs:

The Beginning:

In the ensuing months after The Battle of Hogwarts, it was decided that Harry Potter and his classmates would repeat their last year of schooling, even those who had lasted the year under then Headmaster Snape, creating a jumbo Class of 1998. The school year was uneventful, compared to the cataclysmic events of the previous seven, though issues did crop upàà.as well as the aftershocks of the last days of the man who called himself Lord Voldemort. This is a chronicle of some of what happened after Harry Potter graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This story begins approximately 14 months after The Battle of Hogwarts and the death of Tom Marvolo Riddle:

Friday, July 2, 1999

Hogwarts Private Dining Area

7:30 pm GMT

Headmistress Minerva McGonagall surveyed the large class of graduates seated at the tables in front of her. Her remarks were to be brief, not a public speaker was she:

ôI would like to congratulate all of the Hogwarts Class of 1998, both the students who were supposed to graduate this year, and those who should have graduated last yearàà.and would have, if not for certain events.ö She smiled ruefully and most of the young people shared her look. She paused and looked at the ôPotterö table, as she had thought of it through dinner. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and Lunaààand George, who had returned for his final three months of school. Seven students, among many others, who had risked everything for Hogwarts. A tear fell down her face as she thought of it, and quickly turned her head so that people wouldnÆt see.

But they did, and it touched even the cynical heart of Blaise Zabini, he of the many step-fathers. She continued:

ôYou have all represented us honorably during your time here, and I know that you will continue to do so upon your entrance into our society.ö Nice words, and it took every ounce of willpower Harry and company had not to look over at Draco Malfoy as she said it, though a few of the faculty were not so reluctant. Young Malfoy had only been readmitted to school under a plea agreement with The Ministry, though he had kept as low a profile as he possibly could during the last year. To her credit, McGonagall had made it a blanket statement, whatever she privately felt about certain students.
Theres too much telling, too many well... strangely phrased sentences eg. But they did, and it touched even the cynical heart of Blaise Zabini, he of the many step-fathers.

While I try to keep an open mind on stories, and try not to criticize based on what I enjoy, the writing for this story makes my eyes bleed.

It sounds just like an excuse to write an additional year at Hogwarts. Why else would they bring back Draco?

It does seem a little "Meh" quality. Read about half way through the chap and then lost interest. Unfortunate.

Another fic I've found that I think should be taken off is Hell Hath No Fury It started out KINDA okay but then once it got to the point where Ranma a Minako where facing off AS CHILDREN, while Minako was in character Ranma sure as hell was not, never mind the format used - it hurt my eyes!

Ranma Fanfics

Sexual Endeavours - A Parody of the [Intelligent-Ranma] and the [Magical Girl-Ranma] cliches found in some R¢ fanfiction.?
Not A Dirty Word - Most people dislike Fetter as an author because of the sheer angst that goes into most of his work, well here is his [SI] fic that still cracks me up.
When Bakas Learn - The best story no one has ever heard of.
Jin Lu Zi Lao - When people think of TheRedMenace as an author they think of his stories Ranmazoku or Fate. I can't help thinking about the reluctant Amazon bride of Ranma-kun that lusts after Ranma-chan.

Crossovers

Where I Belong [Rurouni Kenshi/Ranma] - I remember this one fondly, or I will as soon as I get back around to rereading it.
A Ghost of Tomorrow [Rurouni Kenshi/Ranma] - Proteus's best work. Not hard when he had removed the vast majority of his work from the net for no decipherable reason.
Continuance of the Bloodline [Gold Diggers/Ranma] - There are many crossovers between these two series, and I consider this short little stint into the genre to be easily amongst the top 5.
Gunslinger Moon [Ranma/Sailor Moon] - BlackDragon6, creator of Guardian and Yagami¢ offsets Sunshine Temple's need to force Ranma into a skirt and although ultimately unsuccessful they make a surprisingly good fic out of it.
The Knight of Shadow [Ranma/Inu-Yasha/?] - If only for the 7 Deadly Sins prologue about Genma this is well worth a read.
A Time for Wild Horses [Ranma Mega-Crossover] - Urd gets it into her head that a certain pigtailed martial artist could use some more fiancees so she sets hacks reality to set him up with Sailor Pluto.
Journey [Ranma/Rifts] - the single best Ranma crossover on the net.

I have more but I'm kinda bored with this, as I have at the very least 250+ would be recommends, so instead I'll just direct you too my FF.net profile: CatOnFire, where I only post the stories I'd like to read more than once. Although I periodically prune my list to keep up with my refining interests I do keep a number listed do to nostalgia. Also If you can I would recommend going through the stories of my listed Favorite Authors, as I only allow their listing if I have read and like the majority of their stories.
