Some notes:
No actual new tags this month, although someone told me that Aphmau stories were finally canonized seveal months ago and I have now added them to the list! If you spot anything I've left of the list, let me know, I only see the things that get added with "SMP" in the name.
Fics are still primarily in english, but we have three exceptions with significant spanish fics. Karmaland (731 of 823 are in Spanish, from 722 spanish last month), Tortillaland (110 of 115 are in spanish, down from 111 spanish fics last month), and QSMP (668 of 6,495 are in spanish, from 527 spanish fics last month). QSMP also shows 30 works in French, the same as last month, and 375 works in Brasilian Portugese, up from 322 last month. I went through all the languages and QSMP also has 1 fic in American Sign Language, 1 fic in Bahasa Malaysia, 1 fic in German, 1 fic in Esperanto, 1 fic in Filipino, 5 fics in European Portugese, 5 fics in Русский, 1 fic in Suomi, 1 fic in Tiếng Việt, 3 fics in 中文-普通话 國語.
In the small and micro fandoms, the standout was once again Pirates SMP, perhaps modivated partially by their finale. Their 23-fic increase beat last month's 22-fic increase— not by much, but it did beat it. The other stellar work was Kaboodle, which saw an increase of 16 fics, which given that they started at 71 fics, means the fandom increased by almost 23%! Of the 26 fandoms with 200 fics or under, 10 posted a 0-fic increase, and Idots posted a decrease for the second month in a row.
In the midsize fandoms, one of the new fandoms, MyStreet, posted an impressive 28-fic increase, though it remains to be seen if that's from people re-tagging with the new canonical tag or the actual amount of fics the fandom is turning out. Despite this showing however, they could not beat the always-on-top fandom, Fable SMP, which posted 34 fics. Fable SMP is increasing steadily towards that 1000-fic mark which means I consider it a large fandom. At this rate, maybe two months will see them cross that barrier.
In the large fandoms, we saw some significant differences depending on fandom. Empires was significantly less than last month's 240 with 117, Hermicraft's 574 was reduced from last month's 651, and DSMP declined catastrophically from last month's 1,269 to posting only 767 new fics, the first time they've posted less than a thousand fics a month since I've been tracking it. All these fandoms being post-canon or end of season, plus exams/social stress of end of year have potentially had an effect. However, the two mega fandoms that are currently posting lots of content had a very different month. 3rd life posted 628 fics, comfortably beating last month's 552 and actually being a number that I've only seen beaten once, in April 2023 (671 fics). QSMP saw 894 fics posted this month, which is less than last month's 913, but also the second highest month that I've seen posted in that fandom.
