In honour of NaNoWriMo, I am going to experiment for a month with NOT WRITING A NOVEL, because that's probably far better for everyone concerned. What I will be doing, is experimenting with going FRIENDS ONLY on this journal. I get a lot of anonymous comments, I know, and I'm sorry for all of you anons, I'd rather keep everything open, but frankly, I can't be fucking bothered anymore.

If you've friended me and I've friended you back but I actually haven't ever heard from you since in the form of comments on this journal, I'm cutting you off, I've had enough of lurkers as well.

As you were.

Hiya, sorry. Lurker here. I knew I shouldn't have been reading your page and I am really sorry, but I stumbled onto it and was really interested and kept coming back. I was mainly still waiting for the second part of that Jack Ianto thing you did with the funny picures and captions before the summer. I didn't have a livejournal account until last week and I only set one up to send some dopey obsessive fanmail to Invisible Lift (I love him). I wanted to say hi to you too but I was too shy and wanted to wait till you were in a better mood. I could tell you have been having a tough time lately. Anyway, I am really sorry for reading over your shoulder as it were but I am a bit of a Torchwood addict and I needed a fix of funny meta and pics etc.
I am very sad that you are going friends only as I loved your stuff but i understand that it must be crap to get bitched about. I don't understand why people are being like that. Hope you feel better when it is done, this is only a little hobby eh. It shouldn't upset you. I only obssess about Jack/Ianto/TW in general really to take my mind off real life, job, family etc. If its the same for you then it is daft that people are upsetting you like this when the whole fandom should just be an excuse to play around with ideas knowing that it doesn't matter a jot. Anyway, rambling here. Thanks for all the cool postings that you have let all us weird non LJ people read. Lots of love, 21st Century Ood

No, no, don't get me wrong, everybody's more than welcome to come and read and stay for the meta or the luls or the pretty or whatever they want. I write and post stuff because I want people to read it, there'd be no point otherwise. I've just been kind of casual about friending back anyone who's friended me, without even asking for so much as an introduction, and I now have quite a few people on my friendslist who have never actually commented on my journal. I post personal stuff under friendslock now to people I don't actually know, and I have a suspicion that the anon bitching is coming from inside my flist so I feel really stupid for allowing that. If you say hi and ask me to friend you, I'll be more than happy to do so, I just feel the need to restrict my friendslist to people I have talked to more than "not at all".

And God, yes, I'll finish that Jack and Ianto retcon thing one of these days even if it kills me.
