I posted several months ago and said that I was going to cut down my friends list. Then I didn't, because I hate the thought of it, and I don't want to hurt anyone. I've realized, though, that I really need to do it - I don't have time to keep up with LJ as it is, and I'm trying to do better, but I need to trim. It's gotten to the point that I put off reading my flist because it's exhausting, and I don't want LJ to become a chore.
I put this off for a long time because I was afraid of hurting people. I really doubt anyone I take off will be hurt, because I'm only taking off people I have had very little interaction with - people I friended because of SPEW and then never talked to, people whom I've never talked to either by comments or by AIM, or people who don't seem to use their journals anymore.
If I cut you and you think that we have serious friend potential, go ahead and comment (comments are screened) - if I think we have a shot, I'll add you back. But please don't do it out of a sense of obligation, or because it feels bad to admit that we never really got to know each other; it does feel bad, and I'm sorry we didn't, but maybe it's okay.
My fics are all unlocked, and lately I've been leaving things that are purely fannish and/or meta unlocked as well, so if you've friended me for that, it will all still be there.
