Following discussion starting here, I want to have a look at the current list of Legendary Badfics with the new guidelines in mind.
Since a number of these don't actually qualify anymore, a handful of us figured we should look at them individually and vote on whether which, if any, should be kept in via grandfather clause. That's what this thread is for!
The following Legendary Badfics don't fulfill the new criteria:

Celebrian: Only three hits in the past year. Generally agreed to be bad, and missioned as a Legendary Badfic.

Cho Chang's Desires: Appears to have been deleted from the internet. Despite being called Legendary, nobody has re-posted it or, apparently, sporked it at all. No obvious reason to keep this one.

Cupcakes: Only a few hits in the past year... until you go to image search, where there's plenty.

Draco's Christmas Cuppa: Nothing in the past year. I'd argue that it isn't even a badfic so much as a severe case of My Kink is not Your Kink. Was missioned as a Legendary.

Land Before Time: Littlefoot x Cera: Nothing in the past year. Was missioned as a legendary repeatedly, as new chapters kept going up and being targeted.

Lion King Orgy Poem: Nothing at all. No reason to stay.

Little Miss Mary: Two hits. However, one of those is the fic itself, despite the fact that it's over ten years old.

Subjugation: Three hits. Not missioned, but multiple agents sent into it ended up Snapped In Action due to it, so it's established as legendary in-universe.

Rose Potter: Only one hit. Missioned (in style, no less), and established as legendary in-universe.

That Series: Nothing whatsoever. Missioned, so established as legendary in-universe.

So, yeah. That's the lot. Some of these have better reasons to stay than others. Basically, what you need to do is pick out any that aren't worth keeping. If after 24 hours, a majority of people with an opinion have nominated the same badfic for removal, I'll go take it off the list. Anything that's nominated but doesn't get a majority nomination... well, I'll call a vote on anything like that in a couple of days.

To start off, I think we can get rid of Cho Chang's Desires (doesn't exist anymore, so this is logical), the Lion King Orgy Poem (doesn't really seem infamous at all), and Draco's Christmas Cuppa (it's slipped below the radar, and reads more like an ordinary bleepfic).
So, uh, nominate away!

(Oh, and this is the only time we'll be removing legendaries from the established list, I promise!)
