74 FK works withdrawn from the AO3 in September

Correction: I wasn't signed in. :-) Turns out that we have 74 archive-locked FK works on the AO3, out of a total of 1,081 works. Sorry about that!

When I posted the August "FK recently" bulletin here, we had 1,078 FK works on the AO3. Today, as I put together the September bulletin, there are 1,004.

We lost 74 FK works from the AO3 in the past month. I've never before seen anything approaching that size of drop.
