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.

I've made the decision not to lock anything. I'm still going to transfer all my fics over to FF.net and leave my disclaimers up.

I thought ff.net didn't allow NC17 fics...? I got fics deleted from them back in 2003 or something, because they banned NC17 ratings....? Have things changed?

I don't think I'm locking. I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, though, beyond backing everything up.

For that, FF loses one million cool points. I'm backing up my LJ with LJBook, though.
