Looking for "Making a Scene" by Buckeye5

[martishaadams]

I really want to read this story,I friended Buckeye5's lj and sent a pm asking for access. But there's a notification that her lj is inactive, so I'm afraid she won't answer me. So if anybody has a copy of this story, please please please send it to jollywhizzbee@mail.ru. Thank you

I can't speak for everyone who does lock their stories, but I'm pretty sure it is to either A: control wank B: weed out the lurkers or C: to make sure that who is reading fiction is over 18 as most fiction in this fandom is XXX in nature (oh and also because it is homosexual content that is often flamed by homophobic trolls).

I no longer have locked fic besides RPS, which is a personal issue I have with posting it publicly.
At one time I locked my fiction mostly for my f-list's sake as many of them didn't want to see updates of a certain type of fic but wanted them for another so I didn't want their f-lists filled with posts they would ignore and subsequently ignore the ones they may have wanted to read.
Also I did want to be sure that those who were reading my fic were over 18 and did actually comment but rather quickly I came to realize that is pointless because not only do I rarely have time to get back to comments, but if a reader is inspired to comment I don't want to force it, it should come because of my story and to tell how many people are reading I just use a webcounter for each entry.
Oh, I think that maybe it also had something to do with LJ scaring everyone when the started deleting journals for having content that was XXX and not locked down?

Ok. Thank you very much. That was a great answer.

I guess I understand locking RPS, but I always thought that writers want to reach more audience, so locking fics seems counterproductive.

As someone who has been reading the fics for a few years now, I can tell you that at certain times during the writing of a particular story, certain chapters seem to produce a lot of very mean comments.

I have never understood the thinking behind the people who post such mean and vindictive comments, but they've turned off some very good writers.
