Requesting support to move "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" to a different page, as it isn't a true For Want Of a Nail Fic, due to the many elements that are different from canon, unrelated to the supposed nail.

Makes sense to me. There's a lot more changed than just a point of divergence.
Thirty-seven of the story recs are by a troper called feral, and signed by absolutely no one else. While I realize that the person in question is fully within their rights to add stories as they wish, I also believe that they are causing an unfair imbalance in the list. Permission to perform a cull on the list?

By my count only nine of them have no recommendations from anyone else now.
I feel like some of the discussion around "They Shook Hands" crossed over from disagreeing to sort of disparaging. Does stuff like this get cleaned up in fanficrecs for being conversation on the main page or at this level is it left alone?
Hit The Ground Running by Tozette is gone, apparently deleted by the author.
What "animesque" elements are their in Prince of the Dark Kingdom? Aside from people calling each other weird stuff (Harry calls Voldemort "teacher" a few times and Voldemort's staff calls Harry "young master") I didn't find anything in 100 chapters that was obviously anime-inspired.
Hey, besides people who have this on their watchlist, how many views does this page get a day?
I hope I'm not making an horrific faux pas of some sort by bringing it up, but, was "The Wizard of the Kaleidoscope" disowned by the Dark Lord Potter forums? I recall seeing a thread for it there, but I'm unable to find it anywhere anymore, only mentions of it in other threads and the bit in the recommendation page mentioning that it hailed from there.
Is it Ret-Gone, so to speak?

Hi Mazz. In a fit of narcissism, I googled my own work, and I sort of found this, etc.
Err, it's not Ret Gone, I'm still writing it, and the story thread is buried deep in the Wb A forum, which you have to like, sign up on DLP for. Like, if you want to read it, there's 63? 62? (one of them isn't really a chapter) on ffn and I'm going to put out the last bit of the finale soon, I think. lol'd.
Thank you for replying!
What I meant is that I'm pretty sure I had seen a thread for your story in the "For Review" section, and when I checked weeks later I couldn't find it either there, or in any of the other "Library" sections, and the search engine isn't producing that thread either.
Good luck with your story! I tried to read it, but it's not my cup of tea, although the concept is interesting!

Do "Possessive Mythology" and "Impulsive Mythology" belong here? They seem to be full-blown A Us rather than simple divergences in canon.

"General", for lack of a better one. (Although you might argue that they are crossing over with Greek Mythology and put them in "Crossovers", if you consider Greek Mythology to be a fandom.)
This page has become really long. Is there a good way to split it into folders? By status, maybe?
