Time to delurk from my shadowy corner of the internet, I suppose. I'd love to be added so I can continue waving my Another Brother pompoms.
Randomly, does locking down your journal actually do anything to combat the new facebook sharing policy? Because my understanding was that people can still publish comments to locked entries, which is one of the main reasons that everyone on lj is up in arms. (Seriously, I haven't encountered a single person who thinks this is a good idea. Not a one.)
And no it doesn't truly combat this new policy. The only thing locking down the journal does is, say, if some jerk cross-posts me to my boss somehow. They can't easily look to other posts to gain additional information. It's a band-aid at the very best, but I can't think of anything else to do.
Yeah, the only people who think it's not such a bad idea so far mis-read the actual news article, from what I've seen. When they're told the full extent, they get angry.

Hi, I'm a lurker who's been reading your Avatar fanfic on ff.net, and then found your other short stories and ficlets here. I'd be disappointed to miss them in the future, and wish avoid that sad fate. Please friend me, too. Jill

Sure thing! I can see from new new LJ notification thingy that you're doing this from your facebook account. I'm sure you already know this, (but it never hurts to ask twice) just please do not crosspost anything listed under a friendslock. Thanks. :D

I decided it might work better to create an LJ page, and divorce it from Facebook. Cross posting shouldn't be an issue now. Do I need to be re-friended?
Hey- I'm alurker who rather enjoys your fic. I don't use my journal much except for stuff like reading fic on awesome lj's like yours- could I be added please?

Hopefully lj will do something soon in reaction to the enormous backlash.
