Thanks for the tips, everyone. Good to know.
Deb, I will definitely take you up on that offer later today.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
friends-locked entries in personal journals could only be read by people on your personal f'list
LJ's right.

Dani, I only recently learned that it's considered polite to make a post commenting in their journal that you friended them and why.
Eh, some people consider it polite, but I think they are weird people. I really tend to not bother unless they have a stated policy. Of course, normally, I'm adding someone who has added me. And I'd say only two or three people have ever dropped me a line to say they've added me, and I thought it very strange of them to do so.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
I usually post if I have something to say, but mostly start lurking to see if there's enough to start a conversation with. Then I introduce myself in my first comment.
(I'm Ro-Astarte over there, Dani, feel free to friend me if you're so inclined.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
A number of people have friended me whom I don't know and who don't ever comment. I think it's the fic-posting thing. ::shrugs::
Most of my more personal entries are friends-locked.

That's interesting. I'm like Astarte -- I tend to try to comment on an entry where I feel like I have something to say. But if there isn't one, or if it's someone who I know will have no idea who I am, I will do the "Hi, I just friended you, hope you don't mind" thing.
I'm just starting to get more people adding me than I add, largely because I'm basically at reading capacity. Yesterday I posted an entry saying (slightly more nicely) that I wasn't adding people back who didn't comment and who I didn't know from elsewhere. But I've been friendslocking pretty much everything but fic and memes lately, so I might just be in a shy, weird phase.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Dani, I'm arliss on LJ. Sometimes I've just mentioned that I'm there and I've friended somebody. I know I go weeks sometimes without checking my flist. I'd not have known about a recent spook if someone on my flist hadn't mentioned him. He's still there on my list, btw. Did anyone find the goo-scraper to get rid of him?

There was a thing in News about this; I think they made it so if you ban someone, s/he is also off your f'list forever. Not sure how it works, because I currently (thank god and knock wood) have no need for troll destroyage.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Dani, I'm serasempre on LJ.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Bev, you had a troll?
Ewwwwww.
