I've been doing some updating so I could make a Doctor Who filter. This necessitated some flist trimming, but if I've defriended you nine times out of ten it means that I have you friended somewhere else, and since this is a secondary reading journal (think of it as a control freak's version of friendsfriends because it's basically for when I want ( Read more... )

I am slowly learning about filters. They're interesting because it's like having many livejournals in one, and it's possible to have things friended--like icon communities--and then totally forget about them forever, but anyway, if I've just added you the explanatory entries below all still apply, or maybe it was because I made a Battlestar ( Read more... )

I recently added about fifty livejournals to my already extensive friends list, so if yours is among them it's either because I met you this weekend (or saw you again and realized I never got around to checking out your LJ the first time I met you), or you're a professional or soon-to-be-published writer whose work and opinions I enjoy reading.

It probably should have occurred to me to do this last night when I added hundreds of people to my reading list, but this is an experiment... Among other things, I have no idea how people with huge flists cope but I wanted to see what it would be like--like, if my head would explode--so I just added whoever the hell I wanted, and a few of their ( Read more... )
