Everyone who I'm currently friends is still a friend. I'm going to make a post soon explaining why I've decided to start f-locking posts containing personal information. It mainly as to do with the realization that over the past two (almost 3 years) I've put a lot of detailed info about myself out there. This never bothered me before but I recently read a very scary article in the Chicago Reader about a truly bizarre internet scam and it's made me realize that I ought to be more careful.

Hi, another lurker. I love your fanfics, and I read your posts about eating disorders in a broader cultural context with great interest. I feel odd asking you to friend, when there's nothing on my journal that you'd be interested in. But ... please don't make the awesomeness inaccessible?

I've added you as a friend. There's a post here-- http://bitterfig.livejournal.com/155905.html
that explains my decision to f-lock some of my entries. For the record

bitterfic, my fan fiction journal, will remain accessible to the public.

Hi! I've been a mutual friend on your fiction-journal (love your work!) for a long time - mind friending me here, too?
You don't know me, so I understand if you don't, but you seem an interesting person, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Certainly, I'm happy to have you.

I just added you-- sorry it took me so long. I've gotten way behind on my journal comments and only just saw your request.

Hi, I just read a Regulus fic of yours which I found to be awesome... I think you did post it quite a while ago but I'd really like to be friends so I can check if you post more fics.

I'm so glad you enjoyed my story. I'll be happy to add you. I should let you know, I don't post any fiction in this journal, it's more about my day to day life, but you're welcome to look it over and see if it's of interest to you. Thanks.

We share an interest in Gravitation. Apparently some posts aren't friendlocked. I've read them and we think very much alike about politics and religion and psychology.

I joined lj specifically to join GMM because I had started writing fanfiction and felt it would be useful to have the resources of the community to do it right. I have one story posted on Gurabite under the name "lawless" and am finishing another one I expect to post soon.

Being an lj newbie, when I first joined I looked at the GMM archive of memorable posts and friended people I saw posting there frequently whose comments didn't annoy me. I've since learned many journals are friend-locked and that you have to ask to be put on someone's friend list. Sorry about that.

Anyway, since I've friended you, you can see the parts of my journal that are friends only. If you want to know more about how my fascination with Gravitation arose and my lack of any previous interest in fanfiction, you should read my initial post.

My journal isn't completely friends-locked; I have lots of public posts, but I do not intend to ever post pictures of myself or my family on this site, so I'm not worried about the security aspects, and even friends don't know where in New Jersey I live.

Thanks for reading this. I hope to hear from you soon.

I looked over your journal and I do think I'd enjoy reading it on a regular basis. I'm really interested in how you got into manga via your daughter-- I've been considering going back to school to get education credentials and maybe teaching English to middle school/high school age students and I've always thought that manga (as well as American comics) could be a great tool for sucking in reluctant readers. I've also toyed with the idea of using fan fiction in the classroom.

It's been a while since I've written in the Gravitation fandom-- my interests tend to go in cycles and over the last year I've sort of moved away from anime and manga though I still following Nana and After School Nightmare and generally keep an eye out for potentially interesting series.
