The ratio between single chapter and multichapter works is also interesting. Here’s a comparison between July-October in 2022 and 2023.
Based on today’s situation, 15% of all completed works under the #OFMD tag on #AO3 have multiple chapters.

It’s a bit tricky to get specific data of fic numbers from #AO3, but after doing some digging, here's a graph to illustrate the monthly numbers of completed #OFMD fics and also how the number of WIPs has changed since the show aired in March 2022.
The number of single chapter works is needed in order to count the number of completed multichapter works. This data set only covers July-October 2022 and 2023.

CW: lols, kpop, music, youtube, michael jackson, culture, THE culture, gettin' it, dance, MJ
our boy jk is driving grown men to hug each other and shed tears. these men are calling out the name of the lord and savior jesus christ...because of this song.
with this new one, our boy is going for the crown: michael jackson's crown specifically.
is this advisable? if you're coming for the crown, you better be a worthy contender. you better not be just messing around with things you don't understand, you know? and the role of MJ in the culture (meaning, black folks' culture, specifically)... it can't be understated, ya know? but the fact that these men are out here holding each other and crying... it gives me the feeling that maybe hybe/bighit/bts/jk are doing all this out of a place of love. ...to show the beauty in this music. i hope they are!
i call this song "innovations in mj studies" and "the implications of koreans straight up trying to make the next MJ".
