Hi! I'm new. I've looked through tags and memories of what I thought may have these sorts of stories with no real luck. Anyway, I am wondering if there are any stories where Justin seems to get like neglected by the family. I've been having dreams about stuff like this, like Justin was the one to get the cancer and he tries to tell everyone, but they keep blowing him off until he finally just explodes in anger at the all and it all comes out. I know, weird right? Anyway, I really hope there are stories like this. I would rather them be COMPLETE and not where I have to download them, thank you.
Edit: A lot of you have made some good points. I can't protect my work 100%, even with everything f-locked. So, I've unlocked What I've posted so far. It's not much, but everything is public now.

If you are linking to fic on your journal, make sure the post is PUBLIC. People should not have to f-list your journal to read fics highlighted here.
That's why I stopped posting there. :)

Date: 2011-06-15 01:46 am (UTC)I understand the desire to protect your work, but can I ask a few questions? Are you stating that you'll only friend people who friend you first? Do you plan on offering people a "sample" if you will of your work so they can decide whether they want to add you to their list or not? Do they have to add you in order to read your work or are you willing to friend them if they ask?

Date: 2011-06-15 02:38 am (UTC)Like the person below me, I'm not sure what your stories would be about, and your journal offers no insight to that either. My question stemmed from the fact that I personally, won't be adding anyone to my f-list any time in the near future, but I know there are others that don't like adding a large variety of people in order to keep their f-list manageable.

Date: 2011-06-15 03:43 am (UTC)I just...I'm sorry, I have issues with f-locked fic and people's idea that it's "safe" and protected. Sadly, no it's not always. You never truly know who the "trolls" are on your f-list when you friend everyone and who is simply copy/pasting and uploading elsewhere. I had an issue with a writer who locked down her journal completely (even stories that were public) then she thought that made her safe and wouldn't allow me to see her work.
She has no idea how many people still try to send me any of her posts. =/ I had to shut off PMs for the longest time because it was silly the sort of people that were doing it, and yet I was the bad guy. :)
Just thought I'd let you know that, it's a nice idea in theory...not always in practice.

Oh!!! That is an very important question. Plus I was going to comment that since you appear to be a new writer with nothing available to sample it will be harder to build up a readership. As a reader I would like something to sample like a chapter or two to see if I like the story and also to check out your writing in general.
My next question is strictly out of curiosity... As I reader I don't understand the comment you made that your fics are f-locked to protect your work. Protect it from what? Family, friends, coworkers. That I think I can understand. But the comment protect your work doesn't come across to me as hiding it from people you don't want to know you write but something else and I don't understand that especially since you said you were looking for somewhere to share your stories.
My curiosity is because other than wanting to hide writing/stories from the people in your real life I don't understand the f-locking fan fiction. Of course I'm saying that from a readers viewpoint not a writers.
That's all just wondering....

Date: 2011-06-15 08:09 am (UTC)The way I generally think about it is, the more public I make my stories, the more witnesses (so to speak) I have who know and can verify my stories as mine, or who could let me know if one actually got stolen and posted as someone else's. Also, I feel like someone is less likely to attempt to steal public fics because they'll figure more people have already read them. *shrugs*
I only have one f-locked fic currently, and that's more for reasons of graphic content, verifying age, what have you. But now I may have talked myself into unlocking it, lol.

Date: 2011-06-15 06:51 pm (UTC)I think at one point I had all my RPS f-locked. Then I unlocked more and more of it until it was only the one story left, which just seems kind of arbitrary now, lol.

Date: 2011-06-15 06:55 pm (UTC)I didn't realize you wrote that much! (I just went and looked at your master list and there's a lot that I don't recall ever seeing, but it could have been before my "time" in the fandom.) I remember reading Inviting the Fire and loving it if that's any consolation. D: I fail at commenting 3/4ths of the time.

Like, show us what you got, kiddo..
Eagerly awaiting your stories...
