Well then:
I took a shot at Harry Crow which appears on the updates thread fairly often. I didn't care for it but I am wondering if someone keeps brining it up because it gets better. It is a long (57 chapters currently) story and I have seen authors improve noticably over the course of a single work. Having read the first two chapters, I can say it was competently written by the rather low standard you set and I don't have the previous complaint about lifeless characters.
It's a Harry-raised-by-goblins story. The first chapter stretches things here and there to get the situation set up, but I'm generally willing to let that pass if the situation is handled well thereafter. The second chapter manages to hit most of the cliches of Harry's first day at Hogwarts in a bad Harry Potter story short of inventing a new house to sort him into.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
