I must've missed the original post, but I don't understand, at all, an author objecting to someone providing a link to her fics.
If that link turns out to be to a flocked journal, then the reader has to decide whether to friend an LJ of someone they don't know and don't necessarily want to friend (not because they object to the writer, but because there's no relationship there) and this is why I'm a fan of the various fic archives. Friending solely to read a fic is a particular peeve of mine, but has nothing to do with this comm, which is asking about fics and *getting links to same*!!
I'd think authors would want their fics to be read, no?
