New D/G Classics From the People

In August of 2005, I posted the results of a wide nomination and voting process as the democratically chosen D/G Classics. It's probably about time to do it again.

The rules are simple.

1. Take the term "classic" seriously. This isn't just 'my friend wrote this awesome story' this is about stories you'd recommend to anyone entering the fandom, stories that you think every D/G fan should read. Not just what's popular or written by a Big Name Fan, but stories that are truly great.

2. The stories on the original list of classics are not eligible.

3. Due to the extensive and well-documented plagiarism of Cassandra Clare, fics by her are not eligible.

4. Make sure you pick the correct category. This time around, we'll have three: Best Long and Completed, Best Short Story, and Best Unfinished Story.

That's it for rules. The nomination period will last until August 18, with voting to run until August 26. Both will probably be handled primarily in the forums, although for those who don't want to join the forums, I'll also take nominations and votes by email, LJ comment, or any other recognizable form of communication.

The LJ link.

Mynuet @ Jul 21, 2008 07:22 pm


I don't have an LJ...is there another way to nominate?

BlackRaven @ Jul 25, 2008 04:21 pm


On the forums at the link above, or email me directly or through the site.

Mynuet @ Jul 25, 2008 05:58 pm


This stuff about Cassandra Clare, exactly who is this? And is she still on this site, maybe another name?

CC wrote a very popular trilogy of fics that were largely ripped off from a variety of sources. For the full story, follow the link in the original classics listing.

Mynuet @ Jul 27, 2008 05:30 pm


Ha ha. CC is seriously old school. And not what most of us would consider award worthy D/G anymore, in my opinion. (Plagiarism or not)

Amanda Mancini @ Jul 28, 2008 08:38 am


Yeah, I just figured it was worth making it clear up front what was what.

Mynuet @ Jul 28, 2008 09:55 am


I just wanted to say it's fun to just see some of the best d/g fic posted so they are easy to find!!!!

SugarKiss427 @ Jul 28, 2008 02:29 pm


Eh CC....
You know she actually has published books out now. Basically the trilogy except without the Buffy and Blackadder quotes.

Could you give us maybe two weeks to vote so we can have time to read most of them?

Can't believe it's been 3 years already! You are doing such a great job with this archive, Myn. I don't know if we tell you that enough. *hugs*

Has voting for the fics began? ended? I just can not find where it is suppose to be.

CourtneyFaith @ Aug 31, 2008 12:42 pm


It's been deathly silent on the voting front. I fear I missed it somehow.
I am hoping it actually means you've granted us enough time to read all the great stories.
Thanks for all your hard work just to keep us all excited and satisfied and shipping happily along.

Hi. I went to the book signing of HARRY, HISTORY and to my shock the author was talking about fanfictions and then mentioned Cassandra Clare! Full fledged raves about how great she is. I was sooo shocked I didnt know how to respond without shouting out SHE IS A PLAGIARISTS. Seriously, you need to send Melissa Anelli over at Pottercast a reason why she is not a reliable source. I was truly floored by the comment.
