I don't get this trend of leaving icon posts open for two/three days, then flocking them, making public fic posts, then flocking them. It's so frustrating when I have fic saved in my LJ memories, only to find it's been flocked since when I want to reread it (this seems to happen particularly with Supernatural fandom for some reason).

What happened to the days of people locking personal posts only, and leaving fandom-related posts public. I miss them *sighs*

I think it's because icon-makers and fic-writers want people to JOIN their communities, so they leave their stuff public for a bit so people can get a taste and then lock them, so if you don't get it within that 2-day period, it's gone unless you join/watch. IDK. The concept baffles me too.

It's even more aggravating with fan fic because so often it's posted on personal LJ's, suddenly the person locks it all, and then doesn't want to add any new people :/
