Don't worry about it; I'd rather subscribe now and remember to unsubscribe in April.

It doesn't matter to me.

So it had not occurred to me that my posting everything locked by default might inconvenience y'all. With that switch flipped, I cannot post publicly, only edit immediately after posting to unlock the post. It's a privacy thing. But since the post does go up locked, only people on my access list can get notified of that. Therein—since people may want to track my posts generally or this tag specifically —lies the problem! Now, I could flip that setting back for the month, and possibly I should, but I'd like to hear your opinions. :)

How's the writing going? What themes do you find yourself revisiting?

I prefer the sort of intimacy of our little challenge group rather than a comm. I think ysilme did a beautiful job of expressing my reasons, too. That said, one of the reasons ysilme suggested that we share zwei_hexen was because I, like you, have to lock my entries, in my case for work-related reasons. This gave me the chance to post publicly and not have to trouble folks with subscribing to my private journal if they didn't want to. It was a good solution for us.

As for me in this instance, I see you in my circle anyway, because I'm subscribed, so I don't mind however you'd prefer to post. I don't have notifications for subscribed journals set, so for that reason I selected "It doesn't matter to me." Honestly, until you mentioned the privacy settings, I hadn't even realized that that was how you'd posted. :-)

Also, I wrote 570 words on the ambush project tonight.
