Light gray font on white background is rather difficult for me to read. My eyes are now burning.
That said, I'm not sure if you know how wide of a range this "council" will have to go to. I thought about this a bit while I was out today, and it's like, PC isn't the only place for fanfics. There are all the different forums out there, and there are a lot. Then there are the fanfic websites, like TPT and ff.net. And then there are the sites that are special for just that fic, like Pokemon Master. And there are writing journals on all the different blogging sites.
There's a lot out there, and no way to group the "best of the best" in any way. Something either gets looked over or never found.
Besides, there are rather different opinions on what makes a fic the "best of the best". Sure, readability is a factor, since why say a fic is good if no one can read the thing. But other than that, there's a whole lot of ground there to cover. I love above all else fics with really damn good character development (which creates all sorts of fun in another fandom I'm in >>), but someone else might think that what I like is crap because it isn't action-orientated.
What I'm saying is that this whole site/list/archive/whatever isn't really going to work out all that well. I've seen it happen multiple times, where other people have tried to do this, and it just doesn't work. There's just something about the idea where it doesn't work. Either it's the wide scope of the fandom for fics, as I mentioned. Or it's the fact that this fandom is full of the wankiest wankers I have ever seen, who create drama because they're immature twats. (Or just really really amused by wank. *points proudly at self*)
I waited TWENTY-TWO FREAKING MINUTES FOR MY FREAKING SUICUNE! D<
