Good morning, all, and welcome to RADIO FREE MONDAY. Look! twirlynoodle made me an icon.

It's a good thing I put this in place, actually, because I got a lot of links this week.

Most important perhaps is the cavalcade of links I got about the I Write Like meme. It's problematic on many levels -- remember what I said about dead white guys? Turns out the list of possible authors is all-white, and I can't find the post where I read this but I believe the ratio of men to women is something like 37 to 3. When confronted with this info, the creator of the meme said that he will not diversify his list, because all people are equal to him. Which of course is why the entire list of writers he uses is white and most are male. Also, the entire thing is a google bomb for a vanity Christian publisher. It is strongly recommended that you remove any links on any I Write Likes you posted.

On the other hand, it's hard to think some asshat being an asshat is more important than graduate_maria, a fannish auction to raise money to help theotoky, already working full time to cover living expenses, complete her last semester of college. You can find out more info on the profile page, but there's a lot of cool stuff up for auction.

talekyn has a plea on behalf of the National Abolition Hall of Fame.

I'm super-depressed to have to share this one, but acroamatica got screwed by Lulu. Those of you who have Lulu accounts may want to consider removing your credit card information. ARGH.

SO LET'S END WITH SOME FUN STUFF OK?

51stcenturyfox wroted a fanfic. It is a purely fun fanfic about Jack Harkness explaining his view of sex (and chocolate digestives) to the Doctor. Go ye and read!

In a contest between Ben Franklin and Captain Jack Harkness for sheer cheerful debauchery, who would win? (Remember to leave your thoughts there, not here!)

siege_ofcahoots linked me to Doctor Who villains charted by frequency. A lot of people are surprised the Daleks aren't bigger, but the Daleks are mostly Presence -- they have had more episodes than any other villain, but not that many more. I have yet to encounter some of these villains in my Epic Rewatch, but now I'm looking forward to it. Though I do find it odd that Cybermen and Cybermats are separated -- they're part of the same general species and you rarely see one without the other.

This has been Radio Free Monday. Thank you for your links, your time, and your attention!

Do you guys know how many fanfics I have written in my life?

I did the math, and not counting the stuff I wrote before college the answer is approximately one billion fanfics. That is a lot of fanfics. I might be the reason the internet is for porn.

I tell you this because today I finished the archive changeover from LJ to Dreamwidth. All of my fanfic is now housed at the Dreamwidth Sam Storyteller archive, including the SGA stuff and Season Zero, which were on separate communities. Every entry that formerly held one of my ONE BILLION fanfics now has a link leading to the new location of said fanfic. All of the interchapter links are functional (or should be) and the tags are accurate and complete.

Here is a thing I did which was stupid: posted a lot of HP fics with ratings but no summaries. What the hell, me of 2003. Being 24 is no excuse for cursing your 30-year-old self with having to read a bunch of your mediocre porn to remind myself what you wrote. If I could travel back in time I would give you such a slap in the head.

Nice job with Stealing Harry though. Way to catapult yourself into fandom, there.

PS: Watch out for uneven pavement.
