==Unrecognized Angst Lords?==
Not everyone agrees with the list, however. Some consider [[Devilkitty]]'s [[Just the Sun at Night]] to not only be the angstiest fanfic ever written (as well as arguably the finest) but that [[Devilkitty]] is not only the Father of Angst, but the Lord of All Angst Lords.▼
