C2: I've gone and done it.

persephone_koreYou may or may not have heard that fanfiction.net is launching something they call "C2 communities," which we are instructed to think of as the Favorite Stories feature on (unfortunately) "steriods."
In spite of the limited confidence induced by this sort of typo, I've got one.
And it'd be lovely if there could be one for the ff.net-hosted Niffles, and a whole bunch of genfic ones for assorted fandoms, and so on... but I only get one, and unless I change my mind in short order, it's pretty much going to be Stuff I Like. (Actually, for all I know the ones I just mentioned exist, as I haven't exactly looked....)
....I'd make an account to do the Niffler one if it isn't there, but then it wouldn't ever have any stories of its own, which just seems off. (Yes, NM, I'm still planning to go fix those URLs if nobody has gotten so impatient as to go in and do it ahead of me.)
So I present to you...

One of the best things about fanfiction.net is being able to put up almost whatever we want, even as beginners, even when experimenting. Unfortunately, because not all of us are very good under these conditions and because ease can breed complacency, some people see the lower quality work and forget there are gems here, or they archive here but sound embarrassed when they say so.
This community is to highlight some of the stories that show why we shouldn't be embarrassed.
As you can see, I haven't actually done anything with it yet. I intend, as one might expect, to feature stories in it that I like. (I was hoping there was a space for description by the person recommending, but apparently not. Bah.) The function seems as if it may still be in a testing phase, which might explain why I can't figure out how to search or browse the darned things except by number (or whatever category I can get to from an individual C2).
Suggestions on wording, story recs, etc. will be considered. I do have some stories in mind, but... you know, it's four in the morning here, and that's after turning the clock back. I'm going to bed.
