Toward Some Sort of DW Posting & Circle Policy
My subscription policy can be lifted from LJ:
1.) Do you write interesting or amusing posts?
2.) Is your journal a low drama zone?
3.) Do I know you in real life?
4.) Do I have time to extend my reading list?
If the answers to all four questions are "yes", I'll probably subscribe. My access policy will be seat-of-the-pants, but at the moment is likely to be based on two more questions:
1.) If you showed up at my door, would I be happy to see you?
2.) Do I feel the need to barrage you with the details of my life?
Affirmative answers mean I inflict access on you. Unless you ask me not to, which I would understand. The non-public (not open?) posts are pretty uninteresting to people not me.
Since crossposting could get old, I'm also evolving the possibility of splitting LJ/DW posts by topic. In other words, where do I post amateur photo hour, and where do I post the condensed version of media trope analysis? (And by "analysis", I mean conversations like, "what the heck? John is River. Rodney is never River." And if you understood that, I am so, so sorry.) How much overlap will I have on the two sites? It's the nature of the beast that my reading/commenting communities are going to diverge; should my posts reflect that? LJ-style infodumps don't seem like actual blogging to me, but now that I have two locations to post to, should I try to write something more serious than the narrative of My Day With Squishy Socks once in a while? Or at least longer than 10 sentences at at time.
