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 agree!! It's so frustrating! When people do that for icons, I just don't even bother and move on to someone else's icons. There are so many good icon makers out there that I can be perfectly happy with ones that are easily available to everyone. But fic is another thing all together- there are some fics that I bookmark because I want to read them again, and I hate how often I come back later to find out they've been taken down or made private for 'personal reasons' or whatever the excuse of the day is.

Urgh I know, the fic that I discovered had been locked today, there wasn't even the option of asking to be friended as the LJ owner "isn't adding people at this time" :/

It's fic being written under a LJ username, it's hardly personal details or writing under your own name, so what's the big deal about leaving it public once you've already put it out there
