Legendary Goodfic

It may be hard to believe, given the amount of badfic seen everyday by members of the PPC, but Goodfic does exist. It is rather hard to find, being rather shy and elusive and very much drowned out by badfic, but it exists somewhere. This list is a small compilation of the best of the best, the goodfic that is viewed as better than all the rest. Naturally some fandoms are represented more than others, but that is because they have a larger amount of fanfiction, both good and bad, written about them.

At present, nominations are being taken on the board. As this is Legendary Goodfic and not just All The Good Fics We've Ever Read And Want To Share, it would be best if any given entry has been nominated by two, preferably three board members.
