F-locking.

[icarus]

Hi guys.

For family reasons I'm going to be f-locking all personal posts. The stories will remain available, as will any meta and recs, of course.

*nods*

Are you locking the already-posted ones?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yep. One by one... *eyeroll*

I think it requires a superpower I don't have. *snickers*

Okay.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, no hugs needed, no sweat.

*hugs to you*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, no hugs needed, it's no big deal.

*hugs to you*

[slashophile.livejournal.com]

Aw, I hope everything goes okay! I'll worry about ya, of course. You'll let us know if anything too horrible happens to you, right? I rather like reading your posts even if I don't always reply and what not.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's alright. Just two family members have this LJ and I'd like a little more privacy than that.

Icarus

[slashophile.livejournal.com]

Ew, yes, I know what you mean. I've kept mine from people from work b/c, dude, they'd hate me forever.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I was pretty surprised at some of the things I'd written and left wide open. Setting aside the "I'm on the internet and no one knows me here" lens for the "okay, and how would my family feel about that" perspective... oi. There was one post where I was talking about the fact that I never wanted to get marriage, but I mentioned quite a bit about my mom's marriages in the process. (Locked that one for sure.)

Oh gosh, I just thank god my brothers have no taste and chose myspaceas their "blog" du jour. Geez, just when you think your safe from your family/friends they infiltrate the internet. There should be laws, dude. ;)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Okay, I did a huge clean-out of old dead journals, HP people who woke up and realized I was writing Stargate now and unfriended me -- I've added you.

Icarus

[slashophile.livejournal.com]

Oh! Thanks! :happies: I'm a big fan of your work and your posts can always make me giggle.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Aww, I kinda like be a quiet fly on your LJ wall. Will miss it, but I totally understand. I've started with the f-locking of a lot of things too these days too.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

It's been really fun, having this anonymous journal where I could post anything. But RL and fandom have intersected a little too much now.

Icarus

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Okay. I didn't think I'd get this response. So what I did was a huge clean-out of deleted journals and HP people who've unfriended me over the months -- and I've added you.

Icarus

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks. That's very sweet of you. *hugs* :D

[dancing-moon.livejournal.com]

Uhm, this may seem like a very silly question, but am I on your flist? Lj has changed it again *eyeroll* so it takes a bit more time to find myself now. If I'm there

Basically, I don't read the fandoms you write in currently, so I'm just here for all the non-fic stuff. And if I can't see that, I shall probably trim you away. My flist is too bloated... but you have such interesting posts about life, religion and writing that I'd prefer to hang around and read them =)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

You've been on my f-list since 2003, so yeah. I've never trimmed anyone unless they've specifically unfriended me (and sometimes not even then).

Icarus

[dancing-moon.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you =)

I haven't noticed before, but this is really a silly change that lj has made, since I have to wade through all the icons now. And it's not even in alphabetical order *dies*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Actually, it isn't a change. They've always done that once you pass, I dunno, was it 500 people on the f-list? Renders the list useless if you ask me.

Icarus

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

You should be there anyway. I just posted an f-locked post. Can you read it?

Icarus

[dancing-moon.livejournal.com]

Yep, I can read =)

Really? I thought I remembered that I wanted to someone from iibnf's flist, and could just search for it. But maybe it was some other list

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

She keeps her list under 500, probably because that's the maximum number of people you can seriously read.

Icarus

I agree with starrylizard. Rather like reading your posts. Your life's so much more interesting than my own. Take care.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It's been really fun. But there's just been one too many intersection between RL and fandom so this journal isn't anonymous any more.

Icarus

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I didn't expect this response (I was thinking more along the lines of "Oh, thank god we don't have to listen to her whine"). So what I did was go through six months of old dead journals and unfriended those who've unfriended me. I'll add you now in just a second.

Icarus

[greenling.livejournal.com]

Don't suppose I could friend you, then? I know we don't know each other well, but I find your religious and scholastic posts fascinating.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Sure. The Buddhist "meta" posts will still be open, but school posts are going to be locked.

I'm also unfriending the people who've dropped this journal over the last few months so that should open up some space.

Icarus

[jackie-brown.livejournal.com]

Heh, I can appreciate that, I'd be the same if family found my LJ. I'll miss your RL posts though - if your friend's list opens up, I'd love to be included sometime.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Sure, no sweat. I've opened up, jeeze, about 20 slots just cleaning up over the last six months.

Icarus

[bedofbones.livejournal.com]

Ugh, family and LJ's interacting can be painful. You have my sympathy.

I've been reading your journal for years now, and I enjoy your posts (what _sababa1, your life is way more interesting than mine!). If you have a spot open, I'd love to be on your friendslist.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Right on. *friends*
