Last call for refriending

[glassdarkly]

I've just been through the flist on this LJ and defriended a large number of people. It's nothing personal, I assure you. Those I've de-friended have either never commented or haven't commented for such a long time, I'm assuming they've lost interest.

If you missed my previous friends only post asking people to de-lurk and say they still wanted to read Age of Unreason and you now find yourself de-friended, please leave a comment here if you want to be re-friended.

I've also kept on the flist several people who asked to be friended recently but, as yet, haven't friended this LJ back. I will leave them for another week, but if they haven't friended this LJ by then, I will defriend them too.

Thanks.

ETA: Having managed to defriend a few people who'd left me plenty of comments along the way, or specifically asked me not to defriend them (:slaps self on forehead:), I've now done what I should have done from the start and checked every Age of Unreason entry. I'm now fairly certain that I've refriended everyone who has ever left a comment or who had specifically asked me to keep them friended.

However, chances are that if you're way behind and still ploughing your way through Coming of Age, I might have defriended you. If so, and you suddenly find yourself unable to read the story any more, please don't take it personally but just leave a comment here and I'll refriend you.

Just wanted to say I'm still very interested but I haven't caught up with you yet!

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

[acacia5.livejournal.com]

I see that you have defriended me. I read most of your fic on holiday saved as one word document. Once I got back I started leaving comments. I didn't comment on the last post, but had left feedback on all the previous ones that were posted after I got back from my holiday, and had regular internet access again. I didn't respond to your last defriending post as I knew that I had been commenting. I hope that you will refriend me, as I have been madly refreshing my friends post today hoping for the next installment of your brilliant story. I am loving it.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Hi. Very, very sorry about that. Will re-friend you immediately.

[scatteredgray.livejournal.com]

I haven't commented because I haven't had time to put aside to read all the parts I missed. I am still interested in reading the story.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Okay. Will refriend you at once.

[dandieelyon.livejournal.com]

Oh Oh! I'm so excited that you'll be posting again! I am just now starting in on Coming of Age, so I have a lot of catching up to do, but I love the story so far and can't wait to get caught up!

:)

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Hope you continue to enjoy it.

[sharselune.livejournal.com]

I'd like to be re-friended, please. I must have missed your other post. I am behind in the archives of your story but I am still interested in reading it!

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

I expect a lot of people missed it. Will put you back.

[spangirl.livejournal.com]

Hi, can I please be refriended, I have just caught up, enjoying the fic immensely, and really looking forward to the next part!

Re: friends

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Sure. Will refriend you right now.

[angstacular.livejournal.com]

Eep, I'm sorry I've been backlogged! I am still very interested in reading the story once I catch up!

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

That's fine. I'll re-friend you.

[hippychc.livejournal.com]

Still here!!!! Please don't defriend me. RL has been such a b**** this year that I only get rare moments to indulge in my beloved fanfic. I'm still reading Coming of Age but I WILL CATCH UP! promise. Thank you for continuing to gift us with your creativity and talent!

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Hello. I wouldn't have defriended you anyway, I don't think, because you read all of CoA. You're still there, don't worry.

[tibialisant.livejournal.com]

Want to tell you that I am very interested. I apologize for not having been able to read much yet, and that would be why no comments, but I very much want to get into the heart of it and then you'll probly want me to stfu. RL very busy with grads an whatnot at my house... grrrrrr. Can't even write my own stuff a lot of the time, much less read. SO MUCH to READ!!

please keep me?
*bats eyes hopefully*

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'll refriend you, no problem. I get that people are busy, it's just that the flist on this LJ had got so enormous I wanted to tidy it up a bit.

[nightlifeonly.livejournal.com]

I'm still on your flist but didn't comment in a very long time and want to explain why. I started reading Coming of Age and loved it but it was very disturbing for me too so i stopped started again and stopped again. I never finished reading but i want to dry it again and hope i can stay a little longer. I'm sorry that you didn't hear anything from me lately!

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Hello. Thanks for commenting. I'll certainly re-friend you and hope you'll continue the story. If it's too much for you, though, don't worry about defriending this LJ. That's fine.

[menomegirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks for friending me back. Looking forward to reading your story/stories.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

I hope you enjoy it.

[lil-coyote.livejournal.com]

Could I get re-friended, please? I am still interested in reading Coming of Age, just got busy. =p

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Sure. Will refriend you right away.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

I asked to be friended to read Through A Glass Darkly, and it has been on my radar. I'll just read it on your website when I find the time.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Well, if it's this story you mean, it's not likely ever to appear on my website, unfortunately, as it's so long, I'm not sure I'll ever get round to making web pages for it.

The earliest fics I wrote were called, as a series, Giles Through a Glass Darkly and featured a very dark version of Giles. However, you probably don't mean that.

Anyway, if you think you might want to read these stories at some point, just say, I can re-friend you.

[kayt-arminta.livejournal.com]

Could you refriend me please? I do like to re-read old fanfics and I did comment on your entries while you were still writing it.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Sure. Will refriend you at once.

[bethlehem2.livejournal.com]

Hi I'd like to be friended. So I can stay caught up. Thanks so much.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Sure. Will add you back.

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

I'm a teacher. This fic, and the sequel your writing right now, or is this the sequel, and am I talking about the one preceding.... is confused. I'd been saving this to read this summer. It's on my list, so I hope you'll refriend me so I can read it.

Thanks.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Sure. Will do.

[peabodyblue.livejournal.com]

Hi. Please re-friend me. I have some catching up to do on Coming-of-age, but I also just need to do a better job of commenting more. I really have enjoyed your writing! :)

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Hi, sure. Will do it right away.

[dragonflymuse.livejournal.com]

I would like to stay friended, if that's ok. I know I haven't commented, but I fully intend to work my way through from the start and do so.

Sorry for the silence :/

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Sure. Will re-friend you right away.

[shay2.livejournal.com]

I emailed you to be able to read Coming of Age, but I haven't been able to read it because although I have you listed as a friend, you don't have me as yours so I can't read anything on your journal. I would love to be able to read the story and I comment to just about everything I read.

Hello. Sorry if I missed your comment asking to be friended. Will friend you right away and hope you'll enjoy the story.

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

Hi. My plan this summer was to reread Coming of Age, than reread Furniture Verse, Funeral Plans and get caught up on Age of Unreason. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find Coming of Age completed anywhere on the net. Have you deleted it from this journal? Is it on a website somewhere else now? I really do want to read it again.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Coming of Age hasn't actually appeared anywhere else but on this LJ. It is still here.

To find the beginning, use the calendar function and go to the earliest posts (in 2006).

[mennolly.livejournal.com]

Hi there. I was wondering if you would mind refriending me again. Back in early May I thought I have friended you back and apparently had not. I sent you an email explaning that (which you might remember) and friended you then and you refriended me back. I haven't had as much time to read your fiction as I would have liked (real life has been messing with my schedule) so I havent had much time to read and comment since then. I am hoping to read some this weekend and noticed that I was defriended again. I promise I will comment as soon as I get a chance to read some more. I hate to be a pest, but I really enjoyed the little I had been able to read and would like to read some more. I promise to be good. :) Thanks.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Hey there. Have refriended you, and don't worry about reading slowly or hardly commenting. This post was me trying to tidy up this LJ's flist, that's all.

[isoldam.livejournal.com]

Would you mind friending me again? I'm sorry that I have left no comments. This story has been on my "to read" list for over a year, but I just haven't gotten around to it. I actually prefer to read stories when they are completely done. I was planning to make the entire arc into an e-book to enjoy the next time I have some time off.

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Hi. Sure, I'll refriend you, though you may be waiting some time for the story to be finished.

[cowboyguy.livejournal.com]

Waah! Please friend me again. I just went back to re-read Coming of Age and found I couldn't actually get to any of the posts... *cries*

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Sure. No problem.

Hi!

[kudagirl.livejournal.com]

I just joined LJ and am looking for new friends. I have written some drabbles for Spike/Buffy and Angel. I have to say I love Angel/Spike better than Spike/Buffy. I hope you will add me as a friend. I will be reading lots of fics and always leave a comment. I had been reading on Elysian Fields and Spuffy Realm, but Mabel Marsters encouraged me to post here since my drabbles aren't always a Spuffy type. I will be reading Coming of Age now that I have found it.

Re: Hi!

[glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com]

Hi, okay, I've friended you. Hope you enjoy the story. However, if you find it's not to your taste, perhaps you'd be kind enough to defriend this LJ when you leave?

Friending and Age of Unreason

[nokaysmommy.livejournal.com]

I don't think I was on your friend list but I saw your story listed on the dark spike fic rec list and I am a huge fan of Spike/Wesley stories and would love to read it.
I may be slow catching up as I have a 1 and 4 year old at home but will do my best to get caught up with the story and to comment as often as possible, if your friend me.

Thanks.

Melanie

Sure, have friended you. Hope you enjoy the story - though if not, I'd be grateful if you could defriend this LJ again when you leave.
