That definitely makes sense. I'm thinking about doing it too, but I haven't made my mind up, not yet. LJ is my fantasy world, my little secret and I want to keep it that way... So maybe I already have my answer.
I'm glad it makes sense. It's kind of an experiment, and maybe I'll be sorry later, but I was just getting increasingly uncomfortable. Probably all silly, but as you said, LJ is my escape and I want to protect it.
If it was making you uncomfortable, then something was wrong. You shouldn't feel like that when LJ is your way of escaping... It's the right decision I think, and I use Michael's words for this: Have faith
These posts are never easy to write, so, hats off to you. And it's perfectly understandable, re the work thing. I've been using the same nickname for ten years and use it for everything, and I PANIC at the thought that someone from work might accidentally come across one of my flail-squee-omg-how-much-do-i-love-this-sara posts *facepalm*
Yes, me too. PANIC. And I know some people already have found me here, and it's not that I'm embarrassed by the fanfic (I'm proud of it), but rather that it's so hard to explain it. I grow weary of that.
IIiiii would miss reading your rants and fics, so I would have to *comment* even though I think I'm already *added* I remember when I friends locked my journal...many many moons ago. I never once regretted it, and I'm sure you won't either.
This will take some getting used to, but once I have, I think I'll like it a lot.
And of course...putting things under spoilers is easy enough. I just worry you spoiler-avoiders will get spoiled by casual discussions here and there. You must have to be on alert all the time!
being a spoiler-phobe works for me. i learned thr hard way, in my first fandom, that i'm better off going in with no expectations then i'm not disappointed and i enjoy the show more.
that's why i have been MIA from certain LJs, you big spoiler whores!! '->
See, I'm just the opposite. I expect SO much, that I have to read spoilers (that often disappoint) in order to bring my expectations down a notch, and then I can enjoy the show. This season though? All bets are off! I'm so excited!
Ha! Good description!! And no, I could never explain it either. I think fandom is one of those things that has to be seen (experienced) to believe. I am so grateful that I've found other people who get this obsession though. *squishes*
