Trust me, I completely understand the desire. It's because of wank that started many many years ago because I disagreed with BNF in another fandom when one decided to tear apart a new writer because she wrote a piece in a crack!fic verse that apparently didn't fit into their "code" and I informed them that what they did was inappropriate.

I was blacklisted in that fandom, banned from many communities, anytime my writing was posted I got misc hateful comments that had nothing to do with my work. I eventually posted from another journal I had and suddenly I was "the most awesomest person evar!" =/ So I kept it separate and there's nothing personal there. It's all public and yes, there's times I still get flames especially on older pieces that even I'm scared to read now because I know now that I can do better...but I'm not going to remove those old pieces either. Maybe I can deal better with the flames there because they don't actually know me only my writing. *shrugs* I've seen my share of nasty comments there but maybe it's harder for those that "open" themselves to their readers by not only giving them glimpses of their work, but their personal lives so they take it harder when people say negative things.

However, if I'm understanding your comment right, you aren't dissuading people from adding you, reading your fic, and maybe possibly eventually coming to you with something that bothers them. Personally, I don't know anything you've done. I think my issue with f-locked fanfic journals is when the writer picks and chooses their readers based on feedback. There's so many that won't take anything that isn't 100% positive and will pick and chose their readers by those that offer only praise and those that dare to say anything else...well out they go...regardless of how it's stated.

I have no problem with criticism as long as it's related to the writing. Or any kind of discussion as long as people don't throw around insults or something like that. In all the time I've had my lj I have defriended - I think - three or four people, two of them because it turned out they were liars and hurt a lot of people through it. Can't really remember the other two - if there were any. I always try to encourage honest criticism and I'm glad to get it. We all learn from our mistakes, and only improve as authors through it.
See - I wouldn't even mind flames were they just related to the fics or original stories I write. I get that Brian/other isn't everybody's taste, so yeah, people have told me "no, I can't read a story like that" - and that's okay. However, when people get downright insulting on a personal level, when you get hate mail and things like that, I think it's way off and I'm just too tried to deal with this in lj, too.
