So, yeah, Dreamwidth.
Jan. 17th, 2011 06:48 pmI love DW and all, but the thing that gets me is the separation of the reading and access lists. Sure, it's a great idea, and I take advantage of it a lot, but then the ol' social anxiety rears its head when I'm adding new people. Like, you have your public journal, and it's all Sophisticated and Thoughtful Material, and then you have your locked entries, which basically consist of a brain explosion in text form.
Or maybe that's just me.
Even though my locked entries aren't actually that different from the public ones. Just, y'know, about real life, or pointing out stupid fandom things.
Anyway, I tend to add people to my reading list without giving them access. And then I wonder what happens when we get to know each other better, and is giving someone access like going steady? Am I coming on too strong? WHAT IF THEY SEE MY BRAINSPLOSIONS?!
Anyway, if people want access here, now's your chance to ask.
