Would our new members please pull up a large, comfy chair and join us. Don't be shy. We all love you. Jamie has once again provided, free of charge, the basic FFFROG survival kit. It's in the bag under your chair, and contains a box of tissues (Puffs Plus, the soft fluffy ones), a package of chocolate, a bottle of extremely strong liquor, and copies of your five best list-related memories. All of which has been carefully handpicked to support you in your time of mourning. Let's all give Jamie a round of applause for putting aside her Merc tendencies in these desperate times and giving us all the benefit of her time and effort. Today, we are going to think about what has brought us to FFFROG. I'd like all of you to retrieve your free copy of the FFFROG twelve steps that Pat, our lone Nanette, donated (they're shoved down the side of your chair, between the cushion and the left arm). Now, let's all recite the steps in unison and remind ourselves that we are not alone in our grief, and that we are not powerless in the fight to save Forever Knight: We, the Frantic Forever-knight Fans Releasing Our Grief, in attending this meeting have: 1. Admitted that we have developed extreme affection for "Forever Knight". 2. Come to believe that through coordinated effort and devotion, Forever Knight can and will be granted a reprieve from execution. 3. Decided to do everything in our power to save Forever Knight, including seeking Divine Intervention. 4. Made a searching and fearless inquiry as to the methods of rescue available. 5. Admitted to the Divine Power which we revere, to ourselves, and to another human being, that we will "not go gentle into that good Knight" and that we will "rage, rage, against the dying of the Knight." 6. Decided that we are entirely ready to press the attack. 7. Humbly asked each other to pitch in, and try to save our show. 8. Made a list of all The Powers That Be that can be found, and have written to them all. 9. Made direct efforts wherever possible to save our show. 10. Continued to evaluate and re-evaluate our battle strategies and made adjustments when necessary. 11. Sought through prayer, meditation and careful thought the best ways to save our show, praying only for knowledge of how to go about it correctly, and the power to carry that out. 12. Having had a spiritual awakening, taken this message to all other Forever Knight watchers, and spread the word to "Help save our show!" Now everyone hug the person next to you. Now everyone hug the other person next to you. Now everyone, at the top of your lungs, repeat after me: THIS STINKS! WE WILL NOT LET FOREVER KNIGHT DIE WITHOUT A FIGHT! Go ahead, scream it again. Stomp your feet. Punch a pillow. Let it all out. It's okay. We understand. Now everyone hug your neighbours again. Thank you. Here is Pat the lone Nanette with today's inspirational message: "We have a hell of a show. We have a hell of a list. I have been proud to know you all, in some way, and have burst with pride at the sheer number of ideas that have been generated to save Forever Knight. You are all *very* creative, and I have been privileged to follow in your footsteps. I have done my best for this show, and will continue to do so. As one person so boldly put it, "trying to chew through the fat lady's micro-phone cord" is my aim. I didn't mean for this to turn into a pep talk, but that's partially what FFFROG is about: reminding us why we're here. Now, take a moment out of writing your letters, or whatever you are currently doing, to think of what Forever Knight means to you and what Forever Knight has given to you. Got it? Hold it in your heart. Make it burn bright. Now -- go out and DO IT." Okay, everyone: big smile... c'mon, you can do it... Now hug the person next to you. Now hug the other person next to you. Now let's go out and face the world fighting. Let's show USA, Sony, Tri-Star, Paragon and all those TV stations just how much we love Forever Knight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- The above meeting has been brought to you by the joint efforts of Patrick Kortner Aiex (paiex@i.......), Jane Snyder (janes@i.......), and Jamie Melody Randell (immajer@p.......) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Jane janes@i.......

Yes, you did, and we're going to hold you to it! <veg> Since I'm going to hold you to your promise, I guess I should make one of my own.

Hi Guys, On a whim earlier this afternoon I forwarded a couple of Cynthia's press realeases to Ian Punnet who does a radio show on WGN radio. He usually reads his e-mail on the air,and I figured he would just read the press release. Which to my surprise he did. But on top of that he had about a fifteen minute interview with Ann Marie McKee Fitzgerald about what we're doing to save the show!

I just logged on to find 166 messages (most from the FK lists) and more list messages are still coming in. If the volume keeps up (or gets worse), I'm going to have to go nomail on these lists and I really don't want to do that.

That's a wonderful idea! I'm also on AOL and will do the same. As I'm sitting here watching Black Buddah they just had an AOL commercial.

Anyone? I can't BELIEVE I'm about to say this. And mean it. If we get FK back for the rest of this season, I'll give up Diet Coke. Forever. Those of you that know me (and have seen me drink a 2 liter bottle in under 1 hour) know that my giving up Diet Coke is pretty darn serious. It's my "habit," as it were. But for FK, I'd do it (and drink water, like I'm SUPPOSED to do). It'd be worth it. WELL worth it. And y'all heard it right here. I may never be able to face mornings at a con again.

Can we do anything that will arrive tomorrow? YKYB etc.. when you're driving along and freak out when you see signs with arrows pointing in the direction you're headed that say "Uncle". I kid you not. They kept pointing up the road we were driving. Unfortunately, just as we turned left, the arrows pointed right, and I was suddenly really curious to find where Uncle was. It was probably a movie being shot there.

It reads Suncoat motion picture compnay does not have input as to when their commericals will air and with what show. Your concern for this show cancelling would have to go through the creator of the show and USA network. I find that real interesting, isn't all the hype about cancellation of show is their ratings is bad so that means no advertising, well then if advertisers don't have any control over when there commercials air then it is up to the networks to run their ads. This could only be with Suncoast I do not know? Another thing what good does it do to write advertisers anyway if they have no control over when their ads are played? I could be wrong about it maybe it only works this way with Suncoast Motion Picture Co. Anyway it was nice to get a response to my letter I hope it did some good. bye ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jan 1996 23:30:26 -0500 From: Apache <lf@c.......> Subject: Re: If we pull this off...

Here's the reply I received: >Dear Teresa, > >Thanks for your kind comments about Forever Knight--I've passed them along >to our program director.

It's included below for everyone's interest, but I am also sending it privately to Laurie CF and Cynthia Hoffman (I think they are the ones doing media events, right?). The article is entitled "Adobe cosponsors cyberspace documentary," which I copied from the January/February issue of Adobe Magazine. ------ On February 8, a team of more than 100 photojournalists will fan out around the globe to document how online technology is changing people's lives. The results will be transmitted to San Francisco, where a team of editors, designers, and programmers will make them available immediately over the World-Wide Web. At the same time, millions of people will be invited to submit their own stories of how the digital revolution is affecting their lives. The project, which is sponsored by Adobe, Eastman Kodak Company, and Sun Microsystems, Inc., is entitled, "24 Hours in Cyberspace." It's the work of Rick Smolan and Against All Odds Productions, the team that producted "A Day in the Life of America," "From Alice to Ocean," and "Passage to Vietnem." A permanent Web site is scheduled to be unveiled on March 15, featuring more indepth stories, photo essays, and commentaries. In addition, a "24 Hours in Cyberspace" book and CD-ROM will follow in the fall of 1996.

Ruth Dempsey mentioned contacting "the Caramilla" (actually, that's "Camarilla")--people who play Vampire: the Masquerade. Did anyone post news of FK's troubles to alt.games.whitewolf newsgroup (I think that's the name)? There are also mailing lists for various White Wolf games--anyone on any? If not, maybe a query to the newsgroup about at least a V:tM mailing list would net useful info for publicity purposes. I can't post to newsgroups currently or I would. --Sandra Gray --tmp_harkins@d....... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jan 1996 23:28:25 -0600 From: Danny Glover <glover@e.......> Subject: How might one write to FK cast members?

I apologize if I'm duplicating someone. <G> It just occurred to me, that one very successful job-hunting technique could be applied to trying to vault ourselves into the "Entertainment Tonight" spotlight; and by extension, getting us into more media circles. When you have any media personage on the phone line, sitting across a desk from you, or your email prisoner <VBG>; if they give you any form whatsoever of "I can't help you" because of this, this, that, and the other--- **do not leave their office** without asking, *"Is there anyone else you can think of who might be interested in our story?"* Even if they haven't the available column space, airtime, etc., or just plain old "don't think it's for them", they might know someone who **does**. Don't leave until they give you the name of *someone*, anyone. Each of them, if approached in the particular way, will be flattered to rack their brains, because you are asking THEM for advice, and *everyone* likes that. If you're feeling particularly gutsy and the "interview", so to speak, has gone well, you might also dare to mention, "By the way, 'Entertainment Tonight' did a segment on the show's star recently and we think they might find this of interest; do you have a name there that you can give us to use, just as a contact person so that we know whom to send a press release?" if we can't find someone, I guess we'll just have to send it off to any name we can find in the hierarchy. Time's a-wasting. ;-) As Lynne Ackerman reminded us recently, "ET" did a massive NATPE segment, and will probably do so again this year. Felicia Bollin AriCon@a.......
