See, and I think that the concept of "good" fanfic varies so much from person to person that there's no way this would be doable on a large scale. What I like in fic may not be what you like may not be what Suzie Q Fangirl likes; which of us likes "good" fic and which of us likes "crappy" fic?
Once (generic) you start bringing polarized words like that into the discussion, especially in an arena where you're talking more about issues of individual taste than about something that can be widely agreed upon—and if you think there's any chance of a consensus on what constitutes "good" fic, you should take a look at fannish history and the outcry that happens when someone dares to suggest it's a good idea to have a beta reader or to spell check before posting—then I think you're destined to sink beneath the wankspooge, whether or not your intentions were good and true.
Which isn't to say that we probably wouldn't all love to see an archive of fic that adheres to our own ideas of what's good...just that I don't think it's an attainable goal on anything more than a very micro scale.
