& SEMI-PUBLIC

[wistfulbreaths]

 

The majority of my entries will be semi-public.  The rest of the entries will be placed under a filter depending on the subject.  If you are interested or even insistent on friending me-- the best advice I have for you is to read the following:

& Content

» I post a substantial amount of real life stuff alongside an even more substantial amount of fandom related posts.

• The fandoms receiving the most spam time at the moment are Arrow, Chicago Fire, Doctor Who, The Flash, Sherlock, Supergirl, and Supernatural, . I may also talk about other things from my interest list from time to time.

» I rant a lot. I'm one of those people who like to get things out so she doesn't explode. You are free to ignore any posts that involve me ranting and not making sense.

» I rarely post any of my graphics at this journal, so if your intention for adding me as friend is simply for that, then you're wasting your time.  I may decide however to create a graphics journal and if I do then the link will be posted on my DW.

» I am a cutter and tagger. This ensures your friends lists aren't spammed by large pictures or long posts that may only interest very few people. It also ensures posts on similar subjects are easy to find.

» Locked posts will contain more specific information of those involved in my life and a lot more personal information.  Unlocked posts will be generalized ramblings of every day annoyances and life activities.

& Filters

» Now I understand that not everyone will enjoy reading some of my entries so I do make a point to filter some of my content.

» My access filters are always opt-out and rarely opt-in.  What this means is if there is content that you do not wish to read, I will always respect that decision and take the time to filter you out, as long as you take the time to let me know.

» On the other hand if there is content that I write that you do wish to read, ask me and I will consider if I am comfortable enough to allow you access to that filter.

» Some of the topics I will write about are as follows:

• Relationships, specifically my marriage
• Friendships
• Family
• Sexuality
• Electronics
• Plug whoring
• Fandoms

That is the basic summary of my filtering, though I do have very specific filters for very specific purposes/people in which only a select few may be granted access to those filters, where as a large amount of people will be granted access to several others.  If there are specific topics you do not or do wish to have access to, please state so below and depending on the topic I will either grant or refuse access to that filter.  To read more on my filters, please click here.

& Commenting

» I'm a serial commenter. I will comment on anything that appeals to me or anything I feel I can help with. Please don't be offended if I don't comment on something or don't reply to your comments. I do try!

» I'm occasionally one of those terribly rude people that will ask for your help in a comment completely unrelated to the entry, but you're free to ask for my help in the very same way. Can't be having hypocrites up in here, can we?

& Friending

» I am less likely to add you as a friend in return if you:

• can't use proper English. By this I mean, no txt spk, sTiCkY cApS or terrible punctuation. I don't mind if English is your second language, but there's no excuse for crappy typing trends.
• do not like any of the fandoms I belong to and may post about.
• are a DW friend whore (meaning you add people for the sake of having friends).
• don't appreciate advice, whether you asked for it or not. It's in my nature to want to help, so if I feel I can, I will damn well try.
• only want me to make graphics for you or help with your layout. I don't mind helping, but if that's all that I seem to be doing for you, I will cut you. With a bread & butter knife.
• I will not friend you if I know you in real life and see you as well as interact with you on a daily basis

» Although Dreamwidth notifies me about new people adding me, I'd really appreciate it if you comment (on this post) before you add me! Just to make sure. That way, if I don't add you back, you have more than enough reason to call me a skank ho bitch or whatever you feel like calling me. I usually add everyone back, unless you're extremely obnoxious or we have very little to nothing in common.
