This is what I don't understand: why do people make their sharing journals as PERSONAL journals rather than communities?

This doesn't matter, of course, if the LJ is open. I can use the track function to find out when there is an update, or just pop-over every now and then to check. But if it's "comment here and I'll add you so that you can see scans", then I have a problem.

With [livejournal.com profile] todokanai, I don't mind at all, because I know who owns it and that person is on my flist anyway. But I don't want to have to add a LJ of a random person to my flist just to see scans - the person with that login can see my flocked entries! Why couldn't those people make sharing communities instead, and then giving posting permission to only the comm owner? And then posts can be viewable by members only. They could even set it to "membership requires approval" if they like.

Maybe I'll make a journal, post a few fake entries with it, use it to join some random fandom comms, then use it to friend those LJs. Hmph.

I have no idea how it goes for other people (I actually sort of wish todokanai was a community, not a personal LJ, but ... long story. X3 I made it years ago, and my scans were always NOT flocked. By the time people started stealing crap from me and I had to lock them... >_> There were too many posts for me to want to move everything to a community.) D: So I do not know if this happens for anyone else, but that is why [livejournal.com profile] todokanai is a personal eljay. Also in communities you cannot private posts, and I dislike that. >|

I used to post everything actually on the comms, and not in a locked lj at all, and people stole so much of it and hotlinked that I got sick of it :(

Oh, and:

Quite a few people do that anyway, actually. :x

If these people were wanting to lock their doujinshi journal or scan community or something, I understand that. But I see a lot of people using their personal journal to post the occasional scan and those are the ones that irritate me when I see them crossposting hither and yon with 'add me to see my scans!!!' I don't think so. I don't want to have to sit through some tard's blathering just to occasionally get a glimpse of Sanada's ass.

I understand your reasoning, I really do. I hate filters and don't like sharing my personal thoughts, etc. with people who are only there for the fic. But I don't have time to create a new journal or a ficsite. So, oh well. :D

Yeah, the only thing I post over there is scans. I would never subject people to all my tardblathering just to see Sanada's ass.

Even if it is a very photogenic ass.

I actually wish I could just leave everything unlocked, it's so much fucking easier. But tardbags go and ruin it. >|

Plus it was sort of an accidental thing to end up being a doujinshi archive, and EVERYONE SHOULD LOVE ME ANWYAY >| so tough cookies. :D

It really is a very photogenic ass. :O I bet he has big thighs. Okay, I'm veering off topic and into hornytime.

I know exactly what you mean. I hate having to be nice when I really want to talk about so-and-so's big dumb stupidness and can't because she watches my journal and why oh why didn't I separate them long ago???

Oh, well. It's not nice to talk behind someone's back anyway so it's probably for the best that I don't. Though that might be why so many people want to set me on fire.

I LOVE YOU LEAHFACE.

in communities you cannot private posts

But why would you want to make private posts on a community? O.o?

Sometimes in my doujin eljay I like to make announcements or comments relating to the posting of doujin or such, but after the validity of the post is over with, it just takes up crappy space. I hate deleting anything, and so I private the posts. IE hiatus messages, polls, questions about posting stuff, or when I asked for help with getting people to stop hotlinking. :x

I am weird okay ;_;

P.S. I am scanning doujinshi of Bedsick!Yukimura macking on hawt nurses. Pervert.
