PSA: Requesting access to f-locked fic
With the permission of the lovely Mods for this community
vlredreign and
court1429, I am posting this PSA.
Pardon if this is something you already know.
When requesting an author friend you so you may read their f-locked fic, please enable *your* account email so we may write you back. Sometimes there are problems with your account which result in us not friending you - year of birth not showing, empty journal, whatever.
Thanks!

You say that in your bio, which is good. I tend to be a bit leery of *completely* empty journals (nothing on info page either except maybe birth year), but what you have is I think enough to show you're a real person here for genuine reasons, lol. I'd suggest just doing ONE journal entry saying something similar... you know, that you're just here to read fic and that you're not a spam robot :)

An occasional LJ entry, especially one that lets us know who you are and how you feel about "life, liberty, and the pursuit of smutty happiness" goes a long way to reassure the writer that you can be entrusted to read their babies.

I want to know that there is a person on the other end.
This can be done by filling out your account profile.
But an entirely empty journal, with no contact information, not date of birth information, no friends, no entries, no icons and no way to contact the person throws up a flag for the reasons given above.
Add an entry that says "I'm here for the fanfic." or something of that nature, please.

When I was new to LJ and reading fic, I friended a ton of authors whose LJs were unlocked (and who didn't friend me back) so I could make sure to see any new fic they posted.

All I can say was that I must not have been overly awake when I wrote it.
SORRY!
