trying to work out access filters on DW

Anyone got suggestions for where to look?

I think the access filters were imported across when I brought my LJ over the first time. Only I don't now know if the filters I'm looking at here are the LJ ones or the DW ones.

And if I make a post to LJ from DW via crosspost functionality, does it take the specific names on the filter and allow access to them on LJ, or just the filter name itself?

eg. I have a filter "friends1" on both DW and LJ.

On LJ, the filter "friends1" has: alli, sue, jo, rob, amy, andrea, val, and bec.
On DW, the filter "friends1" has: sue, jackie, helen, andrea, val, and simon.

If I make a post on DW under the filter "friends1" and cross-post to LJ with the tickybox crossposting, will LJ permit the entire LJ filter "friends1" to view the post, or just sue, andrea, and val (who are both on the LJ "friends1" filter and the DW "friends1" filter).

I looked through the FAQ which doesn't seem to answer at this level - just the basics of what an access filter is.

thought for the day

A show that isn't utilising all its existing female characters is not going to utilise new female characters any better than it does the existing ones.

The problem is very rarely the lack of existing strong female characters but the lack of knowledge of what to do with them - or, specifically, with more than one of them.

And because the problem is that the (white, male) writers don't know what to do with more than one woman (especially when the second female character isn't white), this problem is never, ever solved by throwing more female characters into the mix.

eta: Yes, shows need more female characters, without a doubt! However. I've never yet seen a show that could do better with more female characters when it was doing not-so-well with less.

And yes, Sanctuary does fine with one female character. Most modern shows do right by at least one of their female characters. It's when you have more than one that problems crop up. The second female's skills tend to be ignored or dismissed, her characterisation is underdeveloped or tossed every which way according to convenience, and/or she's turned into a stereotype and never rounded out.
