letterbladeQuote from a much longer and more serious conversation last night.
Me: "Well, I only sortof have a messiah complex. I don't try to save the world, I just want to write porn for it."
Bwah! I have found [one of] my goals in life.
So last night I had much fantastic hanging out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shadesong and one of the People Who Has Recently Left LJ, whom I think I shall refer to as El Cid. (Unless she smacks me for that.)
(Srsly though. I think the LJ governing planet[oid] went into retrograde recently. Or has been for a while.)
And also last night, in pursuit of my Greater Self, I reorganized my fanfiction folder. Mwahahaha! I reorganize stuff at you all! And also started putting fics into templates for my new fanfiction website, which is coming along nicely.
Someday, in pursuit of my Greater Self, I want to start taking martial arts. I am kindof held back, however, not just by finding cash and time, but because there are 2938748 schools thereof and 29348792384782375 studios and I have no way of knowing what is good or right for me.
Currently, in pursuit of my Greater Self, I am of course a pretentious twat. But.
The relevant bit: I have been thinking for a very long time of discarding most of the posting filters on this journal. Not the project filters (for the original pieces, for the Five Leaves draft), as those are there to protect bits of my creative work; and not the magic filter, as that is there to keep the woo-woo away from those who are not woo-woo inclined. This leaves the emo filter and the sex filter, which are the two filters that exist entirely for the protection of readers.
The emo filter--I'm just going to delete that one soon. This means that all my LJ-friends will have access to some of my old whining--go, eye-roll away! I actually used it only a very few times. I intend not to emo on LJ much more in the future, so it really has little effect except making semi-public a few embarassing posts. Meh! If I do wind up emoing, it will probably be friends-locked, and it will certainly be cut, and you don't have to read it if you don't want to.
The sex filter. That was always a dicey one. Because I like posting random comments about my sex life (when I have one), and sometimes full scene reports, and while occasionally these are intense or personal enough that I wish to friendslock them, I have absolutely no privacy boundaries that make me want to filter them further.
In other words, I don't give a shit who reads my sex posts. I have indeed aspired to be a sexblogger in the past.
Obviously, though, some of you may not wish to read them. I hope I do not sound too bitchy when I say--that's your choice. If I post something you do not want to read, then don't read it! You are all adults, and I don't think I need to censor myself for your sakes.
So, in the future, posts that would previously have been on the sexfilter will be public or maaaybe f-locked and labelled as such. (And I know I've sometimes not fully indicated that a cut led to a sex post. I will be more careful about that. I'm going to be trying in general to keep not-work-safe stuff cut and labelled, because I've heard people say that they can't have my journal on their work reading list, and that makes me both amused and kinda sad.)
Unless, y'know, there is outcry. If there is outcry, I retain the sex filter.
This leaves only one opt-in non-project-specific filter on this journal: the magic filter. It's been a while since I fully filter-surveyed my f-list. (I like hyphens!) If any of you want to know the woo-woo, please let me know!
