Updating Megafandoms

If you know of a fandom that should be considered a megafandom (over 20,000 fics) but isn't on the list, please reply in a comment below along with a link to an archive/comm/etc. This is so a) we have digital evidence of a fandom's "mega" status instead of relying solely on word of mouth, b) it gives fans who weren't aware of where to find those fics an opportunity to find a new treasure trove, c) your mods aren't aware of every part of fandom and they will miss things that may be obvious to someone else in their corner of the net, so help is appreciated.

The megafandom list can be found either on LJ or on DW

The X-Files: The Gossamer Project had 33,758 stories as of March 2007. I have no clue how many there are now, but more than that. I'm guessing they passed 40,000. Plus various and sundry specialty archives that were saved by the fandom and relocated when geocities closed. It's kind of amazing, really.
