locking query

[salixbabylon]

ok, so i'm still not back home yet, but ever since the last bout of asshatiness, i'm starting to consider options and insanejournal and semagic and crossposting and other stuff.

the easiest step would be locking my fics though. i've always resisted that because i think it sucks when people have to friend you (read: when i have to friend people) just to get to their fics. and i don't want the pain in the ass of having a fic journal separate from my real one, and it would have to be locked anyhow, so that's not really saving me a step and i'm all about the lazy.

so what i'm asking in my babbly way is - those of you reading, what do you think of locked vs unlocked journals? it will cover my ass a bit, but is it really worth the hassle?

discuss.

You could host your stories on some other web server (you're welcome to an account on mine if you don't have one of your own, or you could use the armory or various others). Then you could just post URLs instead of stories. Or would the lj schmucks object to that too?

That certainly is one option, and I appreciate the offer. I just this past year got rid of my smutty website at yahoo, because I wanted to be able to get comments and track readership all in one spot. *sigh* This kerfluffle means I have to either reconsider that consolidation or relocate.

I'll work something out. If I need technical help, consider yourself warned that I may be asking you questions. :)

Be happy to help any way I can (though I suspect you've got someone who knows just as much as I do living right there in your house).
