When you said "The general opinion of the Board," I thought you meant that everyone had agreed it should be a Legendary. Sorry, everyone, for my hastiness.
Meet the most infamous Portal fanfic ever: "It's my Life!"
Yes, it's more than five years old - it was published in 2012. At least the repost is. And if you search for it on the past year by Google-ing "fanfiction portal it's my life" (without quotation marks, of course), it has plenty of hits from last year. Heck, it was on YOUTUBE last year! I call dibs on it.

Maybe I'll find my own Legendary some day.

It's bad, might be Bleepfic, but it's no Legendary.
BRING OUT THE CRITERIA!
1. Be at least five years old: CHECK (originally posted it 2011, preserved as a copy since 2012)
2. Decent amount of Google hits from last year: CHECK (five hits on the first page for "it's my life portal" no quotation marks on Polish Google)
3. Being famous on its own account: Before deletion from FanFiction.Net, ITS MY LIFE! had accumulated ca. 300 reviews. It has its own TV Tropes page. Plus, there is at least 9 confirmed MSTs and 7 dramatic readings. I'd say CHECK
Now it's time for the general opinion of the Board... I'd say it's pretty bad.
Cipher's Vote: YES

I mean, this person also 'wrote' a version of My Immortal where she fixed the spelling mistakes. Can someone not understand what badfic is after doing this?
Mostly because the OC's name is Marrissa - which is the same bizarre spelling as Marrissa Picard, who was also legendary back in the day.
The similarity of the title to 'My Inner Life' may just be a coincidence, but I'm guessing it's a parotroll.

But 2016 - 2012 gives you only 4 years of life on the Internet...
It's a repost. The original came out in 2011, which make us pass the 5 year requirement...
