Yep, it's pretty rubbish. Although I've seen a climb down post recently from LJ saying how it was not so much a misunderstanding but a poorly executed response to worries about the type of people with LJs and communities. Too little too late, I think, because the damage is kind of done.
I know of one comm that's asked all the people who've posted fics to it to go back and F.lock them all.
I hate viewing my journal before I log in and it's one big empty page. And I hate that people who might want to read my stuff might be put off by having to friend me first.
I'm hoping the lj craziness will settle down in time. Meanwhile, you have friended me and I've friended you back and I still can't read your stories. :(
Argh. See I'm not that up on LJ so obviously I've done something stupid.
You know what...I'm going to unlock my journal. Not the fics, but I'll see if I have put too high a level of protection on it. Sorry about this. Please bear with me while I go tinker. :(
Hi, I would like to read your fic Thrall over on Slashfest but I understand I need to be friended. I would be grateful if you could friend me so that I can read your stories.

Still, what's done is done. ^_^
