Just a Thought

Apr 30, 2006 18:39

Seeing as I am the author of this story, I was wondering if I could make a request/suggestion in regards to the community. Would anyone object to making the posts that include each chapter Friends Only, as in only members of the community can read them? The rest of the posts - pictures, discussions, songs, etc. - can remain public. However, the ( Read more... )

I have no problem with that; I mean, it's your story, so if that's what you want, you got it. ;-)

All righty. I just set the comm's security level to Members Only. From here on out, all entries will be visible only to us. It will do that automatically, so no one will have to bother setting the security themselves.

However, LJ (being the moron that it can sometimes be) doesn't automatically change the protection level of the past entries, nor does it allow the mods that ability. So what everyone will have to do is go back and edit all of their entries, changing the security level to "Friends". Since you want your story protected, Kris, I'd recommend you go ahead and do that for each of your chapters. ;-)

Thanks for doing that, hon. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm overreacting.

Like I said, everyone else's posts can remain public if they like. My biggest concern is that the chapters are FO. Now I can go back and edit 4 through 7, but presentmemory posted 1 through 3 here, so she'll have to take care of those.

Paging presentmemory! Paging presentmemory!

Definitely not. I understand how you feel. ;-)

I certainly would not object. I agree with you being a little paranoid. There are some really shady people out there who wouldn't think twice about stealing your story and claiming it for their own.

aries11 May 2 2006, 02:33:44 UTC

Right. There are some real sickos out there, after all.
