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.
