Under Lock and Key - For Friends Only

I am not doing this to be a bitch. Really. I am not. Something has happened to me earlier this week on LJ that has made me do some thinking and this is what I am going to do. This is the last public entry on this blog. I have made some serious flist cuts over the past couple of days - cutting people who I rarely, if ever, heard from. I am extremely protective of my stories. I update almost every single day with a story - a lot of those stories are locked now and for friends only - and these are my babies. It takes a lot to create and write a story and I love sharing them but some very bad things have happened to me in regards to my stories just in this past year so this is why I am doing this. I have cut people who have then asked me to add them back, so I have. And I STILL have not heard anything from them so guess what? They are getting cut again. People have added me as a friend but I did not add them back. I have no idea who you are. I have never gotten a message from you or a comment on an open entry of mine. I am sorry that I am doing this but I just feel like this is the right thing for me to do. I will be going through my flist tonight, making final cuts. Thank you.
