Why do they need your LJ link??? Would they want to look at your diary and e-mails to friends?
Natter 40: The Nice One
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Why would a publisher need your LJ? Unless it's geared exclusively to work stuff that he's interested in, that's an invasion of privacy.
Teppy = smart!
But we all knew that.
I don't think it's an invasion of privacy, or all that weird. It's a blog, in reality, not private communication. She's writing about online fandom, I can see where someone would be interested in the real deal. The good news is that LJ lets you restrict access to whatever you want to whomever you want.
Kill the natter! Kill the natter!
Hire a hit man!
...
Oh crap.
It's a blog, in reality, not private communication.
It's a journal. That's weird. Unless she's in the process of blogging (which I consider publishing to an audience that may not be personally known to you), what's the relevance?
I'd tell her it's not a blog, and not relevant, and then show her something shiny in the opposite direction.
Allyson, I'd create an entirely new LJ and put all the cool stuff that the publisher wants on there.
Hire a hit man!
...
Oh crap.
And it turns out that Natter only had cheese anyway....
Kill the natter! Kill the natter!
And we called this one The Nice One?
And we called this one The Nice One?
Well, we said it was nice. We never said we were nice.
