Friending Policy
Hi Friends, LJ Users, Nigerian Scammers, Russian Bots and sundry others!
Thanks for taking a moment to read my sticky post on friending.
On the whole, there's no need to friend me if you just want to read my fics, since they are posted unlocked. In fact, most of my locked posts are me ranting about the state of the world (usually from a politics or media slant) or some such.
Generally, I am a ready friender. If you friend me and you have entries in your livejournal or have commented on some of my posts, you can usually expect to be friended back, unless:
* There are no entries in your LJ.
* I do not recall us ever having 'spoken' online (given how selective my memory is, you should probably assume this.)
* Your LJ is written wholly in a language I do not speak (pretty much anything that is not English, or French or Italian (both of which I speak poorly), or German, Spanish, Latin, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Welsh or Irish (all of which I have a smattering of and enough reference books to get the gist.) (Though if your journal is in actual Latin as opposed to Lorem Ipsum, I will probably immediately friend you on principle.)
* Your journal consists of several entries a day concerning My Little Pony, school and whether your hair looks better in plaits, pigtails, or with a fringe pouf. You are probably adorable, but should not be subjected to my occasional flocked rants.
SO, if you've friended me (thanks!) and I've not friended you back, just drop a brief line saying 'Excuse me, oh vague and neglectful one, could you friend me back please?'
I can't guarantee that I will ever have time to be a good lj friend, but I will try and provide you with amusing content and I always try to read my whole flist. Well, the stuff before the cut at any rate.

If you could see me now...
(Anonymous) 2009-08-03 07:07 am (UTC)(link)You listed 12 different languages that you could follow journals in, and I have trouble with just one. I am horribly impressed.
That said I found a piece of yours over in the HP Showcase and liked it very much, and am now looking forward to reading the rest of your work. (This may not be the appropriate place to comment on this, but... It seemed easiest to enthuse all in one place. And it seemed rude to otherwise lurk.) Cheers!

Re: If you could see me now...
So thrilled you liked my story, welcome to the LJ (it's a bit deranged), and feel free to lurk or to join in as it takes your fancy. Thanks so much for the note!
