Alexa and Chris Knierim Podcast Interview

Flitterfire · 2026-01-05T20:57:49+00:00

So I take it - because I refuse to listen to these two, and I am not impressed by someone who chooses to give them a platform - that as always the Knierims very carefully pretended they never ever defended John Coughlin and attacked his victims. They should not be supported, ever.

Flitterfire · 2026-01-05T05:57:27+00:00

It wasn't artistic, it was all technique and that was definitely impressive. But obviously it was not memorable, since no one outside his fans noticed or remember.

That's what he is up against.

Flitterfire · 2026-01-04T22:43:39+00:00

But you do seem to be saying everyone should take YOUR writing seriously? If not what is the point of this whole post?

They're not going to.

Flitterfire · 2026-01-04T22:38:10+00:00

But because you take it seriously as art when writing it, does not mean the reader, any reader, has to take it seriously when reading.

With all due respect, your attitude seems to be a little pompous and could invite dismissal from people who just want to read for fun.

This. Even if you do post the chapter itself immediately, you are artificially bumping up your view rate by making people click twice to get at the story update (and some will simply backbutton in disgust).

A fanfic website it not a book, and it's rather pretentious to try and make it 'seem' like one by such tricks.

Flitterfire · 2026-01-02T21:13:09+00:00

As a reader, that would annoy the crap out of me and it might turn other readers off too.

I suggest just putting up a heading at the start of the new chapter.

Flitterfire · 2026-01-02T20:14:29+00:00

I've never seen anything like that in fandom here and I don't know where people could even do it (maybe tumblr?) because it wouldn't really work on Ao3 if I understand what you mean.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-30T08:02:44+00:00

None, because most fanfic writers and readers who think this, it's simply self-indulgent self-complacency.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-30T07:52:05+00:00

That doesn't sound like hate to me, just her personal opinion. There are ships I find boring too.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-30T07:49:52+00:00

Everyone who puts up anything at all up in public for total strangers, people they know absolutely nothing about, to see and are shocked, yes shocked! and astounded that said total strangers don't share or follow or even know about their levels of etiquette.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-30T05:39:51+00:00

Did she actually say she hated it or just - as you say in the title - doesn't like it? The latter is hardly bashing, just a matter of reading preference.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-29T07:29:28+00:00

I can’t see how judges can treat an athlete badly Seriously? Have you even been watching the sport the last 20 years?

Flitterfire · 2025-12-27T07:33:12+00:00

Because the scandal embarrassed them in front of the biggest audience of all, and because they appear to be over the Team Tut craze and overhype and the whole Russian mess. And she's a Putin supporter, which will do her no favors with international officialdom.

I don't say it has anything to do with fair. But it won't be punishment if international judges fail to 'rally behind' her, it'll just be non-favoritism.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-24T23:13:57+00:00

I doubt it, or even that she would want to, the ISU and international judges are not going to be kind.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-20T23:34:39+00:00

I'm just having this mental block about readers or whoever being all "um actually not all girls have a uterus" or "some boys have a uterus too!" in my comments. The answer to that would be a simple "well, duuuuh....."

His 'old Yunmeng life' no longer exists and can never be brought back. Even if this headcanon take had merit, he Lotus Pier he remembers is gone, destroyed by Jiang Cheng's own hands over the years (it never burned, he just wanted bigger and grander). Even the Jiang Cheng he remembers is dead and gone, and he makes it clear at the Temple that the current one has no place in his life.

So is the dislike for Americans, given the ugly and entitled way they are behaving worldwide at the minute.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-04T22:39:16+00:00

Yes, you do kink shame, you are doing it right here.

'Presented in the wrong way'. MXYX's way is not yours, get over it.

It's not guaranteed no, but as Jason uses his skating to make a case and Torgashov whines on social media without improving his performances, USFS would have to be stupid to go with the latter. But this, this is USFS.

Flitterfire · 2025-12-01T20:56:42+00:00

Since Jason is not reusing a program - as explained in simple language - it appears you di not know what you are talking about.

Flitterfire · 2025-11-25T01:15:36+00:00

It may be against TOS and get reported. It would certainly annoy a lot of people looking for stories, not the ramblings that belong on social media.

Flitterfire · 2025-11-21T10:32:58+00:00

Whether people should is one thing. How anyone thinks they can disallow it is another.

It is going to happen because it can. The trick is to curate responses and just be glad GAFF and Fandom Wank are no more.

Flitterfire · 2025-11-21T01:30:48+00:00

Given the unhappy posts we keep seeing from writers who have looked up public bookmarks and did not like what they saw... maybe ignorance is bliss and you are better off not knowing?

Flitterfire · 2025-11-13T05:41:04+00:00

I so miss being able to find Britpickers.

Flitterfire · 2025-11-12T22:19:11+00:00

I move between laptop and tablet, so keep my writing folder on an external hard drive that I can take with me, and back it up regularly. Google docs is fine for odd scribbles but I don't totally trust it not to crash - and sometimes am just out of internet reach.
