Private Service Announcement

[elfs]

For a variety of reasons, I'm going to take parts of my LJ friends-only. Posts that I normally mark as "life" or "family" will now be available only to people on my friends' list. And that includes my love life. Who I'm sleeping with is not my kids' business, and Yamaarashi-chan, at least, can read my LJ. And more importantly, as I've gotten older I've learned the need for at least a little privacy.

There will still be a lot of traffic on my LJ. After all, writing, programming, movies, wine, food and the rest aren't aspects of my family life and I'll be willing to post those as often as usual.

But if you want to read my LJ for the more domestic elements, I recommend you ask to be friended, and I will welcome you into my LJ.

This question rubs me in strange ways. I'm a fan of your writing, and I enjoy reading all of the various things you put in your LJ, but I've never met you or really talked to you. Here's the thing: you have a right to hide from your fans if you want to. So, friend me or don't, either way I'll still love reading what you do make public. BTW: One of your python-related posts made it onto my company's internal "tip of the week" mailing list.

Cool news on the python front. Thank you. But, it's not from my fans I want to take the details of my life away. The people who read my stories have ever been polite and excellent.

But I'll explain more inside.
