Man, I'm so glad you compiled this. Fantastic fic right at my fingertips, for the win!
Would you like some con crit?
First up, your summaries *totally* do it for me: they give me a taste of what the fic is about without being cliched, or giving too much away.
Looking at how you've laid it out, though, I feel like the links are the least important part. Which sounds crazy, I know, but the job of your header information is to make someone think "hell yeah, I'm so reading that!", and a naked URL doesn't quite fit that bill. I'm also so very used to seeing formated text (so take this with a grain of salt), but the indented lines don't immediately tell me which is the title/summary/pairing.
Uh, and now I feel like I've picked at way more than you ever wanted...
I'm definitely getting somebody with a better sense of page design to help me with the polishing. This is just the raw data I'm giving her to work with. I feel like the summaries are corny as hell but i have no idea how to write them better.
It's neat that you have two different summaries for each of your crossovers. It sort of makes sense, after all.
I'm insanely excited by the idea that you might continue the model!verse. I don't know if I commented on it, but as a sometime art student, I thought it was an awesome read.

It was the fandom that got me out of the floofy elf-fics. Swearing and fucking and living in a shitty abandoned building. I loves those boys.
"Look After Your Brother" was a long saga (my longest fic before the scar!verse). Everything else is pretty short.
I'm really glad I compiled this. A lot of my fics were hiding behind three or four letter acronyms.
