Justin disowned/neglected by the family and/or "gang"

[kinneynovotny.livejournal.com]

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.

Your user name of: - kinneynovotny -

Does that mean you are a fan of Brian/Michael pairings?????

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....

I understand why someone would be confused and after talking to some people through the private message, I may actually just not f-lock my work, since my stuff could still be stolen by people who friend me or whatever, so there isn't really any way for me to stop it even if my work is f-locked, lol. But, I do have a one-shot that I just need to beta before I can post it for everyone to read. That is going to be public right away.

Hi :)

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.

You could make your journal "adult" or "adult content" (however Livejournal calls it). On mine, if someone wasn't logged in they have to agree with viewing content that would be considered adult. Sort of like those fanfiction websites that make you read verifying you are of age and don't hold the person accountable because you did agree to read it, blah blah blah. If they are logged in, they bypass that mess.

It's a thought. :)

[wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure mine's already set up like that, now that you mention it :)

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.

[ipitydaf00l.livejournal.com]

Just figured that might take that worry off if that was what you were afraid of. ;)

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.

[wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com]

It does look like a lot when it's all listed like that! Lol, especially all the li'l drabbles, which I used to post in bunches.

Thanks :):)

I've never flocked any fic I've written. The point was so that people would read them, otherwise, why bother? I have had two stories appropriated a long time ago (HP fics), and someone who knew me and knew they were mine alerted me. I still didn't take them down. Besides, I have my stuff at so many different archives that I have no idea where they all are. lol

[wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com]

Maybe I originally f-locked them so that Gale and Randy couldn't read them? ;-b LOL

Yeah, I totally agree with you. What you said about the HP-appropriating proves to me that my way of thinking is correct.
