    I had subscribed earlier. Great to see how far it's come in such a short period of time.

    Oppose the removal of HP and the Innate Malapropism. Jeram is a DLP author. Unless he himself wants it gone, then it fits the C2's mandate.

    Once we pass Draco and Ginny shippers (38 more subscribers to beat), we pass Alternate Universes (39 more subscribers to beat) and soon after that we can pass The Marauders' Era (45 more to beat).

    Getting into the Top 20 is probably going to be easier then I expected...

    I ah, mentioned it over at a private yahoo group I belong to. That should bring in ~15-20 more subscribers. They aren't really HP-centric writers, but most won't mind joining as a favor to me and us.

    We should be aiming for top spot by the end of August I reckon.

    Its intersting to see that none of the DLP's original C2 (here) have made it into the new C2. Just goes to show how much DLP has changed its taste and helped improve writing and HP fanfiction in general.

    Long may we continue under the banner of ProjectDLP

    Well, that can't be right. They probably have some of Nonjon's fics in common, don't they?

    Interesting to see a list of the best fics from five years ago. I used to love Reign of Power - don't know if it's worth adding to the C2 though, I would need to read it again.

    Anyways, there's almost no way we can get to the top by the end of the month. Top 10 for this week and top 5 for the next seem like more attainable targets.

    Not only nonjon but also Sree, Dark-Syaoran, Ruskbyte and IP82.

    Edit: It's a pity ip82 hasn't written more. I reread his oneshots and they are still among the best that I have read in fanfiction.

    Props for the awesome work mate!

    Sorry if I missed it but I noticed Project M by Water Mage isn't in the c2. Can't find the library thread for the fic but I remember seeing it in the wba with high ratings.

    So what is it now?
    FF.net says members on C2 are 449 and 423. 449 is on the community list page. And 423 is on the C2 page

    However members on DLP now add up to 6301

    520 new members in 13 hours. Is that a record? :D

    And of those 520, none have bothered making an introduction thread. Hmm...

    I noticed this yesterday and subscribed, but didn't have the time drop a note here.

    Massive thanks to enembee for doing this.

    Is this only for completed stories?
