Requisite Flist adjustment announcement

[scribblinlenore]

I was about to hit the max on the number of people I can have on my flist, so I had to cut it back. I defriended:

--Read-only journals

--Journals that aren't updated frequently or seem to have been abandoned

--Journals whose content doesn't appear to be primarily fannish

--I can't read the language the journal is in

Nothing personal. I'll be making all my fiction posts public, so if that's why you're here, it won't matter if you're on my flist or not. If anyone is really upset, comment. I'll add you back. Unless it's a read-only journal. If we're friendly and I cut you off my list, it's an accident! Let me know. It took HOURS to go through the whole thing, and my eyes were definitely crossing at times.

I think you de-friended me ^^UU

I don't update very regularly, but I'm sort of interested in your personal posts, so I'd thank you if you added me back. No hard feelings if you don't, though ^_^

You love me! You love me! *twirls around and tosses glitter in your journal*

Sorry. I hadn't had my fix of being obnoxious yet today, so thank you for the opportunity. ;-)

Speaking of fandom, I'm finally going to have the time to read that Supernatural fic I keep thinking about reading that you wrote a bit back! :D

I NEED to make a Supernatural icon, like now

hi...this isn't about your flist, because i've never been on it, but it's vaguely related in that i just got myself an account and i love your fic so i friended you, and i just wanted to make sure that was ok with you.

I left feedback for this user jareddean69 for this story http://jareddean69.livejournal.com/4472.html which I just found out was written by you. So I thought I'd let you know that I love your story and give credit where credit is due. I've alos dropped this person from my friends list.

Hi, I hope it's not too late to reply to this post. I've had it bookmarked for so long and each time I try to compose a reply I lose my nerve. See I was one of the journals that was unfriended at this time. You probably don't know me because I'm usually to afraid to come forward and speak. However I was an avid fan and reader of your journal and still am. You're such a talented writer and you have a real gift with words and storytelling. I'm so grateful to still be able to read your fic. However in the time I was fortunate to be on your flist I really found you to be as spectacular a person as you are a writer. You're creative, intelligent and have a terrific sense of humor. It was a delight getting to know you and reading your thoughts, opinions on various things (fannish and non-fannish) and reading what you had to say. I've truly been missing your voice and presence on my flist. And if it's not too late and you're feeling generous I can't tell you how thrilled I'd be to have that priviledge again.

I apologize for not being a better "friend" and speaking up more. I get panic and anxiety thinking that I'll just be a nuisance because I have nothing smart to say. And as you can tell I'm a babbler. But that's no excuse and since you're putting your time and effort to contribute such wonderful posts the very least someone could do is express their gratitude and give some positive feedback or at least a thank. I really should've and if I'm blessed to get a second chance I won't make that mistake again. Not to say that I ever took the priviledge for granted, I just wasn't brave enough to say anything *slaps head*

Anyway I'm not sure whether or not I hope you see this since I'm not sure if I made an even bigger fool of myself LOL. But I'll choose to be glad that maybe at the very least you're aware that you have one more member of your fan club.

P.S. I hope no matter what it's ok if I keep you friended, I'd really be sad not to read your stories anymore either.
