I checked your friend's list and read your posts and you are more than welcome to friend me if you'd like.
My journal has been locked down since its creation due to a very bad incident with a BNF (Big Name Fan) in my prior bandom/fandom. Unlike SPN the fan fic community was a lot more of an underground thing, we wrote our stories and other than a few select sites we pretty much kept to ourselves. This BNF then took it upon himself to expose the fan fic writers to the band's fan club message board where he pretty much drove them deeper underground and in some cases out of fandom entirely.
As you may've heard or seen the nonnies that are out there seem to be cut from the same cloth as the aforementioned jerk and the one protection that we're afforded by whomever moderates that community is that anything posted behind an f-lock is completely off limits for discussion. Hence why I've continued to keep my personal journal locked down so as not to make it and my own personal life a target. Frankly they can say what they like about what fic I do have out in public, which most of my SPN fic is in one way or another. Far as I'm concerned they can take their opinions of me and stick 'em where the sun don't shine. LOL
Anyhoo, sorry for rambling so much but since you were curious I figured I'd share especially since you expressed an interest in being friends as well as a reader. Thank you for taking the time to ask and feel free to comment, even on older stuff, trust me stuff like that can blow a writer away to know old work is still being found by new people.
