As hrj says below, I don't think we want to make it members only, but I do think we want to encourage posts from people who are actively writing (or have written) something fictional and discourage posts from non-writers -- unless they have anything pertinent to say about writing, but is that likely?
There have been times when I was reading rasfc when I had people that I really really like in my killfile, purely on the grounds that they never posted about writing. If I want to know about their lives and their cats etc, I'll read their LJ. The thing is, we need a bit of a social aspect to the group because it oils the wheels of communication, but if the social side dominates, it ceases to be a useful resource for writers. (At least for me.)
