I resisted doing this until the writing on the wall forced it

This journal just went friends only. I've mass flocked all my past posts. I've purged my bio and my interests down to one thing: freedom of speech. I've never posted anything in this journal I was ashamed of, but I still feel compelled to make this move now and not later ( Read more... )

I would like to be friended! I'm a big fan of our fics, and would like to continue reading them.

Please?

You've got it, just as soon as LJ lets me friend again. Apparently massing friending several hundred people gave it an aneurysm.

I was going to get to you anyway, as a matter of fact.

You have already friended me - thank you for that. I would also like to say that I love your work and I'm sorry that the current stress is pissing you off. - it really sucks on LJ at the moment.

This -- sucks. I mean. It sucks so bad. I've been going back on forth on this issue about flocking my journal, but I'm totally going to follow your lead about the interests.

This is infuriating.

Hi, could you friend me please, I don't want to miss any fic!
Yeah the flocking is catching, even amongst people who don't necessarily have anything to hide.

I will, of course, in the next twenty-four hour period. You won't miss any fic.

The flocking, well, it's probably a huge over reaction on my part, but once I decided to wipe my interests and bio, it seemed like the time to go all the way.

Done, now that LJ unclenched.

I think I know what prompted this, and, having read a bit about it, I'm more than a little disturbed. GJ may be the way to go, indeed. Meantime, when you've got the chance, would you mind friending me? I enjoy your fics and would be unhappy to miss out.

Delighted. And done. Now you'll have the unparalleled privilege of hearing about the caterpillar wars, the pine beetles, the swarms of grasshoppers, and my car troubles. Aren't you overjoyed?

Swarms of grasshoppers, soon to be swarms of cicadas? I just love years when they predict lots and lots of huge bugs. But fandom and all related things give me something to do inside, away from the bugs, so the answer is a cautious yes.
