Some of the communities we write in are closed membership for the writers only. That just means you can't join the community but not that you can't watch. Go to "manage" "friends" "edit friends" and add the communities you want under "add friends." This will let them show up on your friendslist.

The reason we've done it this way is because we have some posts that are friendsonly that discuss plot points, characterizations, and such away from the readers. We also sometimes like to write a thread behind closed doors in case we need to change things or if one of the writers is uncomfortable writing in public (that would be me, usually). All of the finished "chapters" are public. There are no "friendsonly" secret chapters that members are missing out on, merely things that aren't posted yet at the writers' discretion.

Long, around the bend answer to say you aren't being purposefully excluded. The three of us don't operate that way with these communities. If someone is a member of the communities (except office hours, of course) it's only because they slipped in at the beginning and we haven't cleared them out yet :D
