I'd love to get a consensus on that.
To respond to something hS said, and one reason I think consensus is so difficult: What you've heard of largely depends how active you are in a given fandom and/or the places on the Internet where fanfic gets talked about. Back in the day, most PPCers were active in LotR fan communities, so they knew what everyone was buzzing about because they were there, doing it. Nowadays, not only do we not all share a unifying fandom, not all of us are active in our fandoms beyond the PPC, either.
I speak here of myself. These days, I pretty much only hear about the fics that set their fandoms abuzz when someone mentions them here or I happen to stumble across them on Channel Awesome or Buzzfeed or something. (I am thus often behind the times.) I suspect this goes for many of us.
I mention this because, in the past, people have wanted the yardstick for Legendaries to be that they're legendary among PPCers. This clearly doesn't work; fics only get legendary among PPCers these days if their mission makes them so.
Taking a left-turn here (because I'm tired and holding a train of thought is hard), responding to another thing hS said: Legendary Missions. How 'bout this being a thing, eh? Phobos likes the idea, too.
