As seems to be fairly common, I set up the fic journal to keep my fic side and my 'RL' side separate. The edges have kind of blurred, but the important thing is that my parents won't stumble across the racier chapters of my fic unsuspectingly. Having the two separate means it's also easier for the readers--if they've no interest in my random ramblings, they can just friend the fic journal, no muss no fuss.
An unexpected advantage, however, is that my e-mail notifications go to a separate place, as I tied a different address in to the fic journal. It eases the load on my inbox when things get lively, and it makes it much much easier to archive and file things away.
