Using the word 'intelligent' after my threat fiasco is very generous of you! :-)
I agree it's quite rare. But a friend who will occasionally venture into the dark side Pin territory (see! I said friend! Some of my best friends are-- oops.), was just recently complaining that there isn't much decent fic there, either. I don't know what it's like there, but with Akame, I have found that simply unsubscribing from akame_ gave me a different perspective. Good fic still comes along infrequently, but at least I no longer see all the 'hai gais i wrote this in half an hour in art class and i know it sux, no beta coz i coudnt wait, i heart feedback and no flames and oh kame is a girl in this fic hehe dun hate me now' contributions.
Akame has some excellent writers, and I bet Pin has, too. They're just too busy with RL things to produce a lot. What we need... what we need is a rich sponsor to fund a writing contest between the two groups, something where everybody gets paid a lot of money to go hang out in a nice onsen and do nothing but write good fic. I'm sure a Junno/Ryo writer could also be invited along, in acknowledgement of where the project was first mooted.
Totally!

Looks around... hm, now who's rich?
