The only part of this post I disagree with is the following:

If there are concerns about being flooded with Harry Potter fanfic, then here's a suggestion.  Exclude Harry Potter.  Exclude Star Trek.  Pick some specific fandoms and say that the FFML isn't interested in those, due to there already being numerous outlets.  That can help keep a single fandom from flooding the list, while still opening it up.
 

This type or exclusion screams of bias.

Besides, the hope is, if someone like Harry Potter and posts Harry 
Potter, someone else here will help make it better.

Maybe, with some good review, the quality of Harry Potter fics will improve.

Back at the dawn of the FFML, I can only imagine what kind of horrid 
Ranma fics were on the list.
