I've seen a lot of the work you've done with Fetish and I would like to see more. I'm guessing that your fics are locked and I was wondering if it would be okay for me to friend you. I'd like to read all your posts, not just your stories, maybe become friends.
I don't know what's gotten into people lately. There are people out there making it so authors are afraid to post any of their work to the public anymore. I'm not judging you, I just think it's wrong that people can be that mean, and cruel. I don't know what exactly happened to make you lock your work up, but I promise I would never do that to you. I wouldn't do that to anyone. In my opinion, if you come across something you really don't like, either just leave it, or leave them with constructive criticism, not just go-out-of-your-way-to-be-mean criticism.
Anyway. I really doubt your work needs criticism in the first place. At least what I've read so far doesn't. I would love if you friended me back, but it's entirely up to you, I understand you have to look out for you before anyone else.
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.
No problem, it's a shame, ya know, people should be able to post anything and not have to worry about getting grief for it. Either way, you've got your friends, and I for one, appreciate what you add to the community and fandom. Screw those people, they don't deserve to read your stuff. I'm gonna be working on your stories soon, so I'm glad you don't mind comments on your old stuff. You can expect a few. Thanks so much for the add. =]
