I would just like a site with literate authors, thank you. Skyhawke's pretty good as new members need to be referred by pre-existing ones, but some poor writers still leak through. Thing is, though, those writers weaker in the technical aspect of writing usually have some very intriguing plotlines/character portrayals/ideas/etc. I still consider the technical part more important though--I just started a fic that began with four sentence fragments and didn't bother to read more, despite the intriguing summary. It's extremely difficult to read a poorly written fic, no matter how interesting the plot is.

Essentially, excusing my personal ranting, I agree with most everyone's feelings of a written sort of definition of what X elite archive's criteria for "elite" fiction is.
