Administrivia: Adding to and trimming from FList

I've had a little bit of churning over the past few months on my FList, y'know, just the regular friend/unfriend kind of thing as interests diverge, or I've said something that pissed people off, and all of that.

I, of course, have done nothing by way of cleaning up my own FList since I started this thing waaaaay back in 2004.

I'm in the midst of a little bit of a FList trim, but as usual I seem to be adding more people than actually cutting. Gah! Typical. *facepalm*

Side note: A big thank you to people who've friended me over the past few months (and days, as it turns out). I'm sorry I haven't responded, but I've been hiding from doing this bit of administrative work since, oh, September 2006.

Procrastination, thy name is Liz. ^_^

Part of it is that, in some cases, I've been hesitant to add people because I have no idea who some of the people friending me are and why, but mostly it's procrastination.

Just FYI, in general, I'm cutting the LJs:

of people who haven't posted to their LJ in the past few months (or at all!)
where I can't tell why they friended me
of people who have already unfriended me for whatever reason
are clearly spam LJs, commercial LJs, or serial frienders

I suspect this is going to take me until Sunday.

If I've unfriended you, please know:

It's not personal.
I may have done it by accident, in which case let me know and I'll add you back onto the FList.
It's because I didn't see any recent entries on your LJ, in which case, again, let me know and I'll add you back onto the FList.

If you want a quick check on whether or not I've unfriended you, you can check out Joule. If I have unfriended you, I'll probably show up on either Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

(Like I said, this is gonna take a little bit.)

Note that if you're already friended, some of you might see yourselves getting friended again. That's because I hit modify by accident or something.

Let me stress one thing: Roughly 95% of this LJ is not under a FLock of any kind. I only FLock the odd RL stuff I post here and the occasional entry where I feel like putting on my fandom wanky pants so I can rant.

In short, you're not going to be missing a whole hell of a lot in the FLocked posts if you get cut. I swear.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me. And I apologize for any inconvenience.

ETA: I've tried 23 times to post this stupid thing to LJ and I couldn't. At long last, success!

ETA Electric Boogalo: Even if you're not on my FList, you are of course more than welcome to hang out here (and comment, too). If I make a public post, then I better be able to take my lumps, both good and bad, right? Just clearing up that bit of confusion. Sorry.

Hiya! I'm one of your recent new friends.

hobgoblinn has been telling me to read you for ages. No worries in any direction about friending.

I try never to look at the joule. What happens, though, is that I'll write one story out of the blue, say, Mal/River in "Firefly" and someone friends, and then they get to hear about practicing law and how large my black eye is. So I tend not to check on these things so as to wonder what was up.

I used to have a small friends' list because I had dial-up. Now, with broadband, I'm getting better about friending back.

Let's see if this time I will be able to comment.

I am also one of your new additions who you probably don't know. I actually discovered your journal in the wake of the recent kerfluffles, and friended because you made sense, and I liked your writing style. And I know that you left me a comment in my journal yesterday, which I tried to reply to several times to no avail (I'm heading there next to try again), so I knew that you were at least aware that I friended you. No worries regarding friending/defriending, I just added you because you seem to have a lot of interesting things to say and are sensible about them, which is refreshing with all of the bs of late.

You never got around to friending me, but I figured y'all had a massive Flist already and didn't take it personally. I myself am something of a Posting Monster. =)

..that is moi in the icon..

I'm a fellow fan of buffy and angel, and am on the same side of the political fence as you. I'm a recent friend and I met you through kyra.

I friended you because you post interesting things that I enjoy reading. No stress either way on my account.

Do what you need to do, my dear. But just know that on the rare occasions when you comment on my posts, you pretty much Make My Day. And I'm so glad

antennapedia and you have finally met, in a virtual sense. You two are the wicked wenches who pulled me out into the wild waters of LJdom. So, thanks for that.

I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed by my much smaller flist, myself. Need to trim some communities, maybe. Most of what I end up reading has been recced on more than one of my friends' journals. Must ponder....

(And your earlier post on communication and freedom and power just rocked. I'm here for all 3 thirds of your brother's analysis, btw-- music, political rants, and fic.)

*grin*

I friended you because a friend of mine (

trish786) recc'd me your Buffyverse fics (which I really enjoyed, by the way; not sure if I ever commented). Not bothered by friending either way. :)

Hiya
Please keep me. Now that I've finally graduated I'll have more time to comment (though maybe not post--not much of a diarist and I'm boring anyway) and I do love your rants. And your fic. And your taste in music.

I've actually thought about signing up on livejournal just so I can stop posting anonymous comments and stuff. But a livejournal with no entries at all is probably not that great either.

I friended you because I really like your fic. And I find all the non fic stuff you write about interesting.

[waves]

I added you to my flist because of something you wrote entitled I Remember Townsend; I'm not quite sure what led me to it, but it was the perfect antidote to whatever bit of insanity had me riled that day.

That, and the music. I don't download, but I do appreciate the reviews and pointers, and the occasional glimpses into the intrigues of the fanfic world.

Oh, the username? Nothing to do with BtVS. Really. :-)

*pokes* I'm not much in Buffy fandom any more, but I was hoping you'd keep me friended.

I friended you ages ago (well. months anyway) after your memorial/remembrance day post about getting the details tight as a journalist. Since then I've been reading just about every post you've made. I have no idea whether you've friended me or not. I post very little in my journal -- most of my posting is in reply to others, and I avoid posting unless I have something to say besides (cuddles) and the like.

And yes, please do finish Facing the heart in Darkness. I've enjoyed it very much so far.

I wish the user-interface made a clear and obvious distinction between subscribing to a journal and friending someone. That would make it not so unfriendly when you unsubscribe to someone's journal.

As someone earlier said, "I friended you because I really like your fic."
While I don't always agree with your politics, I appreciate pieces as well written as yours even on the times when I disagree with what they're saying.

<< I'm just here because I like reading the fanfiction-related rants. But I lurk so maybe I deserve cuts.

Well, I hope you won't unfriend because of my lack of updating my livejournal.

Hey there! You're like my LJ mom, you know? You introduced me to Lj-Land, and for that I'm very grateful [and sometimes mad, this iskinda time-consuming ;)]. You were the first person I friended and I've met a bunch of wondeful people through your journmal. And also, you're not-fandom posts makew me think a lot, and point me to very good stuff. Plus, when you comment on somthing I've written, I get warm inside.

Faith V.

Hi sweetie! I'm still here, although I tend to vanish for months at a time. ;)

I love reading your posts, especially fandom stuff -- you say a lot of things I'd love to say... but with way less profanity and insults than I could ever manage. *G*
