Dear Alice, I can't believe Worlds is almost over and we didn't have the chance to tell you what gigantic fans of you we are! (I assume my friend is, too, given how much technical info I managed to share with her while we were watching in Milan--most thanks to how much I have learnt reading your blog.) I just want you to know that I think you are the best fs writer out there. Thank you for explaining what makes figure skating so magical! <3 Have a wonderful gala today (and small medals if going)

You’re most welcome, I’m super glad you found my blog useful and oh gosh I’m so sorry I totally missed your message, otherwise I’d have loved to come by and say hi to you guys :(

Worlds this time were really hectic with all the commuting to and fro from the city center so I didn’t have many chances to meet up with other skating fans *sad* 

Um, are you by any chance planning to go to Vancouver for the Grand Prix Final in December? If you are then we definitely need to meet up then. GPF schedule should be way lighter than Worlds, so we’ll have lots more time!

Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!

Hi. :) I'd actually be happy to contribute to the Survival in whatever way I can. So you can absolutely count me in for some meta contribution. I mean, I have only watched the show three times, so I can always watch it again in an attempt to notice whatever I have missed before. Besides, I already miss it and can't wait for the Survival activities to begin. Thanks so much for organising it!!!

Hello again :) That would be absolutely fantastic! Thank you for coming on-board with the project. I'd be happy to go through meta with you if you wanted too? I've watched every episode twice at least (I commute a lot. It helps with the boredom...) I am so happy to be (attempting) to organise everything. I really want it to work, we're such a small fandom and I don't want people bored and for things to dry up. Aiming to get everything started by the end of next week at the latest. 73 days and counting!

Hi! I just had an idea for the Survival thing. I once took a class on Shakespeare, in which we were asked to write our thoughts, things we have noticed and want to comment on, after every reading. Then we got together and discussed them. So I was thinking, can't we do something like that for the Survival? It seems to me there is basically no meta in the ouatiw fandom. So, that could be interesting and produce some along w/ general impressions. Also, group re-watches is another idea that may work

Hello! Thank you for that idea - it's a fantastic one at that. I really like the idea of sitting down and having a discussion about the episodes - either over a group watch or just getting the ball rolling with some general topics. I've done similar work to what you mentioned from your Shakespeare class in my own classes and I know it's been incredibly interesting to get the ideas/impressions other people have. There's a lot we can talk about from the mythology around our series alone, I think it'd be great. 

If you'd be happy to become a member of the blog and begin working on some meta then that'd be awesome. If not, then really thank you for the idea! Thank you again! :)

Hi, I think you might have accidentally ignored my blog because I don't see your posts on my dash and I don't seem to be able to contact you about it. I only guess it was an accident because I've never said anything Kurt, Blaine or Klaine unfriendly on my blog. And I hate RM i co., too. Also, I love your blog and I miss it on my dash! Anyway, my username is idealisticmaterialism (I'm writing from another blog I have that I'm not using). So can I keep following you, please? Or if I can't, why? :(

sorry about that, I have no recollection of when/how that happened. you're unblocked now
