About Private Access

[alchemistdoctor]

I'm still relatively nervous about allowing people private access. Fandom imploded on me one too many times and I'm wary now. As a result I'm more likely to subscribe, get to know people, and then slowly add access when I've got comfy.

This is just a note to say that, because a lot of people have added me to their access lists and it does seem to be a relative norm here, but until I'm more used to DW and have got my bearings, I'm gonna hold out on that. Thanks for your patience!

As someone who just added you (because I marked a post as locked, then forgot to lock it, and was already talking to anyway! HI!), I totally don't worry about reciprocal adding? I have lots of people who go various ways on that. Whatever you're comfortable with.

Thanks! You reminded me of it with that post actually, but I’ve been meaning to post a PSA for a while because I know with the recent migration a lot of folk may be expecting the same type of “mutuals” culture. Which I never really got into on Tumblr anyway, so... I’m opting out.

I'm a big fan of the mutual subscription first thing. I usually don't immediately grant access either.

....haaah, I did that until I gave in and made everything access-locked by default. I have to remember to unlock stuff, but that's better than trying to remember to lock it.
