Can we call this one a Legendary? by

This is definitely a well-known infamous one. I have read it and can say with no doubt that it lacks all form of common sense and canon is thrown in the garbage. Redwall fans have called it the Redwall version of "legolas by luara," and we all know how bad that one is. I could give a charge list for those who don't know the Redwall continuum if you like. I'm planning to spork it regardless of what decision is made.

And the majority vote is, unless I am mistaken, not Legendary.

It's certainly bad enough to be a Legendary, but it doesn't have the reputation. 11 reviews total? Ehh, not very well-known.
Somebody ought to spork it for sure, though. Could be a trollfic; could be just a little kid's first effort. But those random errors and misspellings could make for some rather interesting effects for any agents that went into it. -

Feels to me like it's trying too hard to emulate other badfics. Doesn't really stand out to me like the current Legendaries do.
Gonna vote no. -

BRING OUT THE CRITERIA!
1. Be at least five years old: CHECK
2. Decent amount of Google hits from last year: FAILED
Unless I did the wrong search, nobody seems to be talking about it. Using both "soulless shell" and "soulless shell redwall" (no quotation marks) shows no links to the fic.
My vote is: NO -

I see eight relevant results in the first two pages (searched for "soulless shell redwall", no quotation marks) — sporkings, "this is awful", etc. Seven if Whygodwhy counts as PPC-related.
Anyway, I read it, and it feels like a My Immortal knockoff. Is it bad? Definitely. Is it "tear my moustache out one hair at a time" bad? Nope. It's mostly boring.
As a Boarder With an Opinion, I vote to not make "soulless shell" Legendary Badfic. -

... it gets a lot of hits on a general search, but none for the 'Past year' setup.
hS has no opinions -

Forgot to set Google to "past year". It indeed shows no hits. Anyway, as I said, it doesn't pass the "horrible" test for me.

As a Redwall fan, I can totally say this had me yelling with anger. Everything this rat does makes no sense at all.
Mice and rats do not interbreed - they have always been enemy species
No one in canon has ever had red eyes
There is no way a rat would treat a mouse that nicely, rats have always been evil except in canonical rare cases
And the beams he used to kill his opponents - HAHAHA that is blasphemy! That has never ever existed; the series is set in the Dark Ages!
Also, no rape, not even in its briefest mention. The series is aimed at teens, but it's young enough that there would be no rape or anything like that whatsoever -
It's already been sporked, I think. (nm) by

The other two by the same author have been. "Blood omen" was sporked by Jill and Redd; "Enough" was sporked by Adder and Deuce (here, since the Board doesn't like double HTTPs: https://archive.is/http://rc6664.webs.com/mission4.htm).
The archive.is link is not working for me at the moment, unfortunately; it seems to be caught in a perpetual loop of loading. Is anyone else having this problem?

Since MSTs aren't part of PPC canon (for the most part). I think it won't make for a good mission, but that's subjective (and why you're planning to spork it and not me).
