*** Milestone: We've now passed 1K total FK stories on the AO3! ***

I was surprised to discover that, if you combine the AO3 and FF.net stats, we have well over 900 stories that are over 1K words in length. Last year, we were under 800. That's a lot of new stories! Or seems so, until you realize that there have been people crossposting from the big FK archives and/or their own website. (Jean Graham, for example, has been putting her stories up recently.)

This means, though, that this could well be the last year that FK is eligible for Yuletide.

Could you boost this info, please?

Done, here.

Thank you.
