Also "fans" of sci-fi etc. are also regarded as younger and less
affluent than "mature homeowners" who write about MURDER SHE WROTE and
such. Fans are often considered "Klingon-speaking flakes who need to get a
life." I say this from having lived in LA for a long time and been married
into the business; it is not my personal opinion as I am a fan too.

As a Knightly sort of person who's heard of these rumors/salacious factoids,
here's Detective Vetter's Disney FK episode for you:

I can just see Tracy in a little buckskin thong thingy singing "Colors of the

Subject: Vetter & Vachon - What's up?
I know this is off our general topic (SOS) of late, but maybe someone can
help me out. As some of you may know, I've only discovered FK this year,
and have been watching season 1 & season 3 here. Nobody here is carrying
season 2.
Anyway, I just saw "My Boyfriend is a Vampire". I'm a little confused
about Tracey and Vachon. Early in the show, it seems that she doesn't
believe in vampires, but near the middle of the show, when Vachon and
Knight catch Upton (the boyfriend) in Maggie's apartment, she asks Vachon
if Upton is a vampire, and Vachon confirms that no, he isn't.
So what's the dirt between those two, does she know Vachon is a vampire?
How did they meet in the first place?

Dear folks, please help:
Can anyone say whether these people have e-addresses? If not, is
there anyone local to them who'd be willing to call them if I put *you* on
the Prez. Loop? (This shouldn't involve any great arduous labor. It
might be helpful if you had a printer in case we send press releases,
etc., through to them -- but sheer contact is the main priority.)
Diane E. has made me aware of
Two more fanclubs, both off-line (?):

and

Subject: Fangoria - A Success!!!
Hi all-
Back home from a wonderful weekend in Manhatten. Many, many, many thanks to
June and Elisa for all the hard work they did at the con. Also thanks to my
children who, on one's part a little reluctence but when reminded WHO paid
for the tickets gladly volunteered, did the dealers rooms and 'papered' the
place red... Myself, I hung out with the smokers by the elevators waiting
for June to park the car, and suddenly realized that everyone had to come by
me to enter or leave by elevator, and promptly started handing out flyers and
having many, many discussions with people who did a double take when they saw
the word CANCELLED on the flyer. 50 or more people came back to talk, the
man who played 'Jason' Mark Hanner (sp?) was on hand signing autographs, also
a major FK fan (and he is writing letters for us as well as sending copies of
flyers with letter requests to 'star' friends with influence). I even hit
all the dealers, and, the 'babes' that appear in the 'slash movies' i.e. 'I
was a teenage warewolf slut' you get the idea, and THEY turned out to be FK
fans who didn't know the show was cancelled. We handed out a total of 750
flyers and left some on the 'Freebie' table for Sunday. Don't know how many
people actually went today due to the snowstorm.
THEN!!! We took a little 'drive by' a certain t.v. company (asu) who shall
remain (asu) nameless (asu) and I jumped out of the car and shoved about 20
flyers through the revolving doors of (asu) the nameless (asu) company.
Watch out ARISIA...... I'll go down on my knees for FK....... Will you???

WOW! I had no idea nicotine deprivation affects a personality so profoundly.
Yes, I was perfectly aware that Nick has been diddling away, vampire-style,
throughout the 800 years. Obviously, it's not what he wants as his eternal
destiny. As for my 'list of vows', I am formally reserving them for the next

"Oh, the weather outside is frightful...."
blizzard here in DC, as everywhere in the East. Actually, it's
wonderful, but it's clear my car's not going anywhere for a few days.
Anyway, last month there was a funny post on what the cast would
do with snow on their cars. I only remember the Vachon one (gee, how
surprising) because I realized that I truly am a Vaquera at that moment:
Vachon would wait until the snow melted off his car. I fear that's what I
do.
Anyone remember this? I thought I'd kept it, but I can't find
it. Would its author repost it? If not, if someone's archived it, would
you e-mail it to me?

I must admit I find this concept hard to follow myself - but then again,
I am a FoD! Which brings me to my suggestion.
All these people promising to become Perkulators if FK is renewed for
another year: why don't you become FoDs (or Ravenettes) instead? It's
not that I think that being a FoD (or a Ravenette) is inherently painful;
it's just that there is no better way of suffering than being a follower
of a deceased (or absent) character!
FoD-hood would also be an excellent loophole for those who also have made
vows regarding food or chocolate: it is a well known fact that FoDs, like
their fearless leader, have trouble staying on diets. :-)

Subject: Superstations?
I was just wondering if we should start a concerted effort at one of the
so-called "superstations", y'know, those channels from large cities that
end up with widespread distribution via cable (we get NYC stations here in
upstate NY).
Of course, I don't know where they all are, or what they're addresses are,
or if they show Forever Knight, but it might be something to try before
NATPE [sic?] (Is there still time? Hope so.)
Oh, and regarding the vows (and I tend to believe in their power. I *need*
to believe <g>. After all, if you tell yourself often enough, you start to
regard it as truth). ARGH, for the cornell scheduling department: there's
only *one* bio course I'm allowed to take before the opertunity for the
massive seven hour a day course in the summer. Oh well, viruses sound cool
<g>.
And YKY... I had my first FK dream, and in it, I was sitting across from
Reese, and we were drinking shots of water, and there was a fly in my
shot-glass.

Has anyone seen the previews for the movie "From Dusk Til Dawn"? It looks

Dear folks,
Would overseas list members please e-mail me privately to help in
the creation of a mail loop of overseas fans to help in the SOS effort?
Also, if you have offlist but online friends overseas with who
might want to help with or participate in a Save-FK event in their
country, such as blood donating in FK's name, or giving food to charity,
or contributing to Pediatric AIDS Fdn. -- would you let me know?
This need not be restricted to countries where FK is actually
being aired, since we currently have some members (hi Marina!) who are
fans solely by virtue of tapes.
We want to show Sony FK is a program with worldwide appeal!!!
Thanks!!

Subject: Re: The how our vamps would handle snow post
I hear you guys, south of the border, are getting thumped pretty severely!
Funny how the weather patterns seem to be changing. We don't get quite as
much snow up here as we used to. And it seems down south is getting a
whole lot more than it's used to.
I can remember storms (1981-82) when the snow plows didn't hit the road
for two days. They had been pulled off the roads in the worst of it, and
subsequently got snowed in.
I still put studded tires on my car every winter, but last year, never
even took the shovel out of the shed. Had it out a couple times this
year, we've only got about a foot of snow on the ground right now. I'm
waiting til Monday or Tuesday, to see if there's anything gonna hit here
from the sh*t-kicker pounding the Eastern Seaboard right now! Snuggle in
and write your letters, doesn't look like there'll be work for you in the
am!

Subject: ATTENTION! Passing on message from Asst. Listowner
Laurie Salopek--our busy assistant list owner, just told me to post the
following. If any of the below applies to you (except the SAVE FK stuff),
please contact HER at LMS5@p........
* The list got held the because we filled up all the space on PSUVM. No
kidding. They had to drop some of the archived stuff to free up more space.
However, we have relatively unlimited access on the FTP site!
* THERE ARE NEW GIFS and JPGS ON THE FTP SITE!
This courtesy of Peggy Religa, President of Deb Duchene's fan club (yes, my
fellow Ravens and Ravenettes, most of them are 2nd season promo pics of the
Boss!). Download at will.
* IMPORTANT! Will whomever had contacted Laurie about the FTP site (as in
doing stuff for her with it, including the FTP fiction update people) please
contact her. She's had something of a personal systems crash and needs some
names and e-mail addresses again cause they was eaten by the bad machine
(boooooo!).
* There is now an FKSAVE folder on the FTP site that will soon be chock full
of all the goodies people have put together, like the press releases, and
sponsoer's list, the SOS FAQ and other neat stuff (supplied by the magical
mail box archive of the Web Goddess). This will be yet another location for
people to cruise and or surf and/or pick up things they sort of need in an
emergency. Laurie had asked for the following things to be donated to the
cause--
Lynne Ackerman--Could you send the text of that Wonderful FK article from
the first?
Anybody--Can you put together a few sample letters for the letter-writing
challenged to give them so idea of what and how they can write to their
sponsors/syndicators/evil, nasty SOBs (that Sons of Belial, folks)at
USA/TriStar, etc. (The actual addresses are on the SOS FAQ, yes?).
Whoever is doing the list of syndicators' addresses--Laurie asks for a
mirror of the list at the FTP site (if you're willing).
Zillah--we can post your updated list of who is where
ANY OF THE ABOVE FKSAVE THINGS SHOULD BE SENT TO ME
(susang@v.......--we're very case sensitive, don'cha know)
* Lastly, Laurie says the latest ForKni-L FAQ is on the FTP site. Would
whomever has any other FAQs feel free to pass them along to me and I'll
upload them to the site. This can include the faction stuff, etc.
That's it. I'm not keeper of the site or anything, just a lowly ForKni-L
grunt doing her part to maintain order.
Besides, I just LOVE to hear a Cousin beg a Ravenette for anything . . . .

I got stuck in the blizzard of 85 in Stratford-upon-Avon in
England. The Royal Shakespeare Company carried on, and the same hundred
or so people slogged through the snow each day for three to see the
shows. It was magical. The oil trucks couldn't get through and all we
had in the place I was staying was a woodstove; we pulled apart an old
pig shed to burn and slept around the stove in the kitchen.

Subject: comic-con & X-Files con
Dear All,
Just like to share with you the dirty deeds I have done today, and what I
plan to do this coming weekend :)
Today was the Los Angeles monthly Sci-Fi and Comic convention. I got up
relatively early and began hunting for an FK flyer. After finding it on
the web page where everyone said it would be :) I realized that although
I had a .gif viewer that is very nice, I didn't have anyway to print it.
WAIL! So I logged onto every BBS I could find looking for printing
programs for graphix files... I managed to convert the gif to windows
.bmp but it ended up only printing 1/4 of the entire flyer. Finally..
after many downloads.. I gave up and went to AOL. After messing around
for 20 minutes, I found a graphics viewer that said "print" in the
description (YAY) and took another 10 minutes (oye) to download that.
Let me just say, that whatever this program is called.. it is v e r y
s l o w. . . but after another 20 minutes I had one each printed FK
flyer!! Realizing that my slow graphics program would not let me
edit any time soon, I went to the typewriter and typed in the
local affiliate address and an e-mail address. Grabbing a variety of
colored papers, I ran to my mother's slow copyer (is there nothing fast
in my house?) and proceeded to print approximately 45 flyers (it is
really slow, trust me) and ran off to the con because there were only 2
hours left! En route, I sneakily stuck several flyers inside folded
Image comics posters that I got when I worked there. Upon arriving I put
the posters on the freebee table, and put the pretty colored ones... with
the most different color on top (orange) and went off to get my comix. I
would have been able to actually give out the flyers if I had had more
time and if I hadn't had to buy so many back issues. When the show ended
I went back to the table, and leaving 5 or so flyers for the 3 people
still left :) I took back about 14 flyers. So not a great dispersing,
but better than nothing. And it also gives me practice for next weekend.
Next weekend I will be attending, God willing, the 2-day X-Files
convention in Burbank. I hope to have a lot more flyers, and I have no
qualms about putting flyers on chairs or giving them to people standing
in line for signatures. Hopefully I will do as well as the FANGORIA
folks especially since I hear the dealers tables at X-FIles cons are
lame (meaning I won't be running around purchasing instead of giving out
flyers :) If anyone else is going.. we could do tag team hehehehe...

Hi All,
You know you've been watching too much FK when.....
You finally get your second season HL tapes and during "Turnabout", the one
with Ger in it. Ger's character, Quentin, is looking in a mirror and you
keep expecting him to vamp out. Anybody else get the giggles when he
talked about Janette?
I got a message from one of my husband's gaming buddies today telling me
that they read about the SOS Campaign on the X-Files newsgroup. I ask
them to check out Jamie's web site and thanked him for his interest. I
haven't heard if he's done it or not but word is getting out and people
are noticing.

Ummm...the author would be me. But I didn't keep a copy of the post. Glad
you thought it was funny though. I think I decided that:
Nick would shovel his snow, and then, feeling guilty because he could do it
in less time than anyone else and with less effort, would start doing the
old lady down the street's driveway.
Janette would pay somebody else to do it.
LaCroix would coerce someone else to do it.
Vachon would just fly over top of the snow, figuring it would eventually melt.
Don't think I figured out anything about Tracy and Screed, but now that I
think about them:
Tracy get everything ready to make hot chocolate when she was done, would
pull on her knitted toque, her warm fuzzy mittens and her nice pink down
coat, and start shovelling perkily, humming the whole time.
Screed would just ignore it, and take the underground tunnels like always.

Seems to me that a while ago there was an extensive discussion of the
appropriate pronunciation of Ger's name onlist and it finally got complained
about... but at risk of listowner wrath, I would just like to say... rydw i
wedi dysgu siarad a sgrifennu yr iaith Cymreag hydref yma. Mae cynaniad
Deanna yn gywir, o nesed a mae sgrifen yn dod.
IOW... I've been learning to speak and write the Welsh language this fall.
Deanna's pronounciation is correct, or as near as writing [written version]
comes. I DO know Geraint, he's been a character in our class dialogues...
;-} . And my prof is leaving to teach Welsh at the University of Wales in
Cardiff, so I suspect he's pronouncing it right!
I was writing an ersatz "X-Files" episode for my class homework -- maybe
I should try some FK fanfic in Welsh?? ("Nick Knight -- Sugnwr Gwaed
Plisman!") oh, help...
(Tracey... sgrifennwch ata i yn Cymraeg, os gwelwch yn dda?)
now to get serious...

I hadn't wanted to bring this up, myself, since I'm delurking here after
SUCH a long time (I've been over on FKSPOILR, though), but... I think this
may well have no small part in what's going on. I was rather disheartened by
how virulent the criticism of the new characters and series changes were,
dating from way before the show premiered. I mean, "perkulator", "Cowsie"??
I'm glad I wasn't one of the new actors on the show!! I, for one, was
willing to give everything and everyone a chance before I made up my mind.
But this isn't the first time it's occurred to me that the extremely
negative fan response may have been materially harming the show's chances.
We don't know who's lurking on this list or getting posts. When we put
stuff out there, it's *out there*. And what are people at USA supposed to
think -- "well, if even the *fans* don't like it, we're in trouble!" The
thought that Ben Bass and Lisa Ryder might have heard or seen some of the
things that have been posted causes me considerable distress! I mean, guys
-- they're just *actors*! If they want a paycheck, they take the script
they're given and read the s***.
For the record, I have no issues with Tracey. I like Vachon, but he
doesn't quite seem to fit in with the rest of the show yet. Screed was
amusing but hasn't been used consistently... don't care for Urs but that's
not the actress' fault. I miss the consistent use of flashbacks.
This has been bothering me a lot, and while I've been *amazed* at the
current campaign to save the show (actually, that word falls way short of my
real reaction) and am doing my piddly part, I can also see TPTB sitting there
thinking, "where is all *this* coming from? They *hate* the show! They hate
our stars! You mean they're *watching* it?"
But in any event, I feel so strongly about this that I'll make a vow...
if we get a fourth season (and my hopes are not sanguine... :-( ) I will...
run the Lisa Ryder fan club, PERSONALLY.
In Welsh.

I am SERIOUS! Of course, I've never run a fan club and I'm a grad
student, so the newsletter won't come out too often (and my prof will have to
grade it first) but this is a REAL vow! Put it on the list!
Translations will be available. ;-} And at least we'll get Ger's name
right.
I'm starting to feel like an outtake from "Dr. Zhivago"...
