Sherri - you seem to be from the Dallas/Plano area. I would love to know if
you have any of the shows on tape. I started watching late in the "life" of
the series but am definately hooked. It's so much better than the regular
supply of sitcoms! Thanks for the time. Barbara (using my better half's signon

I agree with Sandra, my favorite ep from the 2nd season is The Fix. Guess I
like the ones that showcase Ger's abilities. This year SoB and NiQ had
similar intensity to them. However, I'm glad to see him nominated for
*anything*.

Just wanted to say that, although I am a brand new Forever Knighter and
the third season is my FIRST season, I do believe that one of the things
that makes a series a really GOOD one is significant changes. Look at
how popular soap operas are. . .and nothing stays the same in soap
operas, except maybe the sleaze.

Ladies and Gentlemen All:
Here it is, my penance for the remainder of third season. The *Revised*
Version of the Optimists' Club FAQ. Read on!!! (It's not your usual O.C.
FAQ anymore!!! <G>)
********************************************
Optimists' Club FAQ
Version 2.0 (revised January 25, 1996)
Felicia Bollin (AriCon@a.......)
*** Do you like Season Three? Join the Optimists' Club! ***
Has the frightening possibility of losing this beloved show for good awakened
a zealous passion in your soul? If you have recently discovered a deep and
abiding understanding of Tracy and even found yourself drooling over Vachon
instead of dwelling on his tangled mane, beware!!! You too may be exhibiting
the signs of an Optimist!
It's very simple. Here are some of the frequently asked questions:
*** Do I need to like everything about the third season to join? ***
Not at all. You only need to feel that the third season so far is good
overall, or that there is cause for optimism, or both. (Fight for "Sons of
Belial", "Fever", or "Human Factor"!) Or, you can become an Optimists' Club
Auxiliary, if you think it's too soon to say.
*** How do I join? ***
Just put "Optimists' Club" anywhere in your sig. It's that simple! (To
cement this resolve, immediately sit down and write a cheerful letter to Lisa
Ryder praising her evocation of the character of Tracy. You don't have to
mail it, though you should, just sit down and compose a paragraph.)
*** What is the motto of the Optimists' Club? ***
"Any 'Forever Knight' is better than no 'Forever Knight'."

Subject: FK on Plattsburg station WWBI-27! Need Address!
Staring at this week's TV Times, I couldn't believe my eyes! There was FK
listed on WWBI-27 in Plattsburg, NY at 3pm Saturday AFTERNOON!!!! Of course, I
noticed this at 2:58pm, and after searching the house to find an antenna, I
actually got to watch most of "Dead of Night" <VWBG>.
I have no idea how long they've been showing it because it is a small
independant station that isn't on Montreal cable, or listed in the TV Guide.
I checked the tvnet page, and the station was listed, but there was no address
:(
Anyone happen to have an address for WWBI handy? Everyone in the Montreal area
should write them a REALLY nice letter.
Wishing she had noticed this station before NATPE,

From: Cassie Carter <ccarter@b.......>
Subject: Some thoughts about NB's post (long)
For some reason, the "virgin and the vampire" fiasco continues to gnaw at
me, and Nigel Bennett's recent response to it has set me to thinking
about it even more. I just want to try to express what is bothering me,
hopefully without sticking my foot in my mouth so far that I can't get it
out again. (Please, be gentle.)
First, I had several simultaneous reactions to the original "virgin and
the vampire" post when I first saw it. Initially, I read the first few
lines, then deleted it, because I didn't particularly care to read about
some groupie's fling (real or imagined) with Mr. Bennett. But the list
members' response to the post was so quick and violent that I went back
and skimmed through the whole message to see what all the hubbub was
about. That was when my mixed feelings kicked in.
Obviously the "virgin and the vampire" post crossed (trampled?)
the line in what is acceptable on this list--a line that is expected to
be tacitly understood but is nowhere spelled out in the list rules (I just
read the FAQ a few days ago). Basically, it's okay on this list to talk
about Ger's butt and Ben's butt, to hope for shirtless scenes, and to
dream about vampire sandwiches. It's also okay to talk about what the
stars are doing professionally (other tv and film roles, etc.) and
personally (Ger's move to California). But unlike *most* arenas for the
expression of fandom, *Enquirer*-style "reporting" (read "libel") on the
stars' sexual exploits and possible legal infractions is NOT welcome here.
That, I think, speaks well of this list's standards and its respect for
FK's cast. However, I do think that there should be some mention of this
unwritten rule, obvious as it may be, in the FK FAQ.
That brings me to the matter of the person who posted "the virgin and the
vampire" being excommunicated from all FK lists. Again, I have *very*
mixed feelings about this. The person who *posted* "v&v" was not the
person who wrote it; the person who wrote "v&v" didn't subscribe to the
list and didn't have e-mail. Thus, the person who wrote "v&v" is exempt
from the penalty imposed, and the person who posted for her is punished in
her place.
On the one hand, I feel that the list member who posted for the "v&v"
author "should have known better," and so being kicked off the FK lists is
warranted in that respect. On the other hand, like I said, this "rule" is
not written anywhere, and she (I think the poster was female, right?)
apparently thought her friend's "v&v" tale was something FK listmembers
would be interested in reading (though she didn't say why). Obviously she
was fatally mistaken, but I think the mistake is understandable, given the
state of "journalism" about celebrities these days. I mean, the kind of
cr*p in "v&v" is pretty much standard fare for most popular entertainment
magazines and newspapers, as well as for the bulk of fan magazines.
That said, I also think it is problematic that the poster was not given a
chance to explain herself or her friend's "story," or even to apologize.
If she'd had the chance, she may have retracted it, identified it as "fan
fiction," or *something*. Instead, she committed *one* serious offense to
the group, and she was banished. Now I'm new to this list--I've only been
here a month or so--and I recently committed an offense, too. I posted
what some people considered a "spoiler" of "Fever," which resulted in some
mild chastisement from listmembers. Unfortunately, I hadn't yet read the
FK FAQ, but if I had, I would have known better . . . but the responses
from you folks on the list corrected me and pointed me to the FAQ, so now
I won't make *that* mistake again. Meanwhile, one thing I read in the FAQ
is that a first offense doesn't get ya kicked off the list, but that a
second offense can. So, to bring this back to the "v&v" poster, I wonder
if excommunicating her *immediately* might have been a little unfair,
since it was (as far as I know) her first offense *and* because the rule
she broke is not written in the list rules.
Like I said, my feelings on this are very mixed. On the one hand, I think
the "v&v" poster misjudged FORKNI-L readers as well as the content of
"v&v"--and though it was a *horrible* mistake, I don't think she knew that
it was. There was no formally-stated rule to tell her that what she was
doing was *wrong* or which established banishment as penalty for the
crime. I mean, marijuana wasn't always illegal in the USA; cops couldn't
arrest or jail pot-smokers until there was a law.
The problem is that "v&v" was *clearly* hurtful to Mr. Bennett. His
recent post made it quite clear that he was upset and felt his character
had been maligned. This list needs to state its policy against such
hurtful and personally damaging material in no uncertain terms in a
*permanent* record. (Someone who joins the list tomorrow will know
nothing of the "v&v" fiasco.)
Basically, what I am saying is that, whether or not we want to allow the
"v&v" poster back into the fold (and I doubt we do), I think the unstated
rules of this list need to be stated. If the listowners wish to formally
establish personally damaging (libelous) posts as grounds for instant
excommunication, and they include a statement of this policy in the list
rules, I am all for it.
I feel terrible that Mr. Bennett returned to the list only to find that
&%$#*! "v&v" monstrosity here. I would have hoped that he would have
gotten some pleasure out of all of the SOS efforts that have been going on
for the past few months, the tireless letter-writing, blood-donating,
charity-giving, conference-going, web-page-making, publicity-generating
campaigns; the 100+ supportive messages posted to this list *daily*; the
constant praise of the show and its cast . . . We have demonstrated our
admiration and respect for him in every way we can. It's too bad the
"v&v" nightmare had to taint all of that for him.

Did someone keep a list of which stations told fans they'd pick up a 4th
season and/or ask for it at NATPE?
I have a list of ranked markets, and I'd like to get a picture of how we're
doing market-wise, so if such a list exists, could whoever's keeping it get
in touch with me.
Or if no one ever kept a list like that, I'll be happy to do it. Let me

Greetings Gentle (and not so gentle ;>) Listmembers,
According to the Washington Post's tv program, channel 50 will
show FK at 8pm next week (Feb. 3). Yes! Now, I'd be completely happy if
they'd stop showing those da*n lottery numbers and don't join FK
"already in progress".
I'm off to write *another* letter to 50 thanking them for the

Subject: CHARITY: Update 1/27
Hey, Hey Everyone :)
Sorry about not posting an update for a few days -- real life has
intruded far to much into my play time :) Anyway, as several people
have mentioned on list, the PAF Group Charity Drive in honor of the
cast and crew of Forever Knight is still open and going strong. If
you haven't made a donation yet and want to get involved, please
feel free to do so (if you're new to the list and want some addition
information, please e-mail me privately). Remember, every little
bit adds to our spectacular total. And, since I did mention total,
our current total is:
$7,873.50
{{{{{{{{{{hugs to all}}}}}}}}}}
This list is full of truly wonderful people and I'm honored to be
associated with you all {{{{{group hug}}}}}
Those who have asked about Sony's donation -- if my information is
correct, we sent just below 50% of the electronic postcards. Which
means that Sony donated less than $5,000 to PAF. So, who knows,
maybe we can double Sony's donation :)
I'm currently working on the large parchments to be sent to JP and
NG and also on the individual certificates about the PAF drive for
each of the cast and crew members. I'm still working on the exact
wording of the header for the individual certificates. So, if anyone
has any suggestions for that tag line, please e-mail me privately.
On a related note, I received the following letter from PAF earlier
this week:
***************************
Dear Lisa,
On behalf of the entire Pediatric AIDS Foundation, I would like to
thank you for organizing the donation drive to benefit the
Foundation in honor of the "Forever Knight" television show.
You have provided a unique opportunity not only to raise necessary
funds, but also public awareness about the Foundation and our
mission. We are grateful that we were selected to benefit from your
efforts.
Your understanding of the urgency of our work means a great deal to
us. Be assured that your donations will bring returns all through
1996 and beyond, as it funds research and programs that will make a
difference in the lives of children and families living with
HIV/AIDS.
Thank you for your gift of hope.
Warm regards,
Doreen Lane
Special Events Coordinator

That is a *very* good point. There have been countless times that
I've seen scenes in which men, who I normally wouldn't give a second

countless scenes of sexy men that come across as bland or even
unappealing.
I mean who knows, maybe a bare-chested Nick might not be that hot
after all.

Uncle Bill's the nice guy who's put up with our hogging the listserver

Subject: SASE from Canada to USA
Don't know if anyone is aware of this but in lieu of a stamp for your
SASE that you may be sending to the US from Canada, you can obtain a
coupon from Canada Post for about $1.50 which can then be traded in for a
stamp at a US Post Office. This could make life easier for the people
trying to return your request to you as US post offices will not accept a
Canadian stamp. I found this out when inquiring about stamps for my
wedding invites I will be sending out this fall.
I would also like to add my name to the people whose sympathies lie
with Mr. Bennett. I am always enraged at the people who instigate
untruths about celebrities. Despite my *trashy* comment about Mr. Bennett
making my toes curl, I have nothing but respect for his(your) work and my
greatest fantasy about you is that I may one day have the honour to work
with you and count you in my small circle of friends (all of whom are
sexy in their own right).

Several Immortals who have names begining with "K"; evil immortals of all
shapes and sizes; generic immortals offed by evil immortals to establish
said evil; several cop partners ("I *will* avenge you man!") from bad
movies-of-the-week; most of Nat's old friends...
I'm sure that there are more out there. ;)

How about some more tenants for the Apartment Building of the Damned?
- Three quarters of all immortals who show up on Highlander.
- Any b*tchy person who shows up on the first three minutes of Murder She
Wrote.
I'm sure there's more.
Oh, and in a different vein (sorry, I couldn't resist), I just got the
Factions FAQ and it was VERY helpful. I forgot who sent it, but thanks. In
the FAQ, the writer mentioned an over-abundance of -Packer factions. If this
is really a problem for anyone, couldn't Nick-and-Nat-Packers also be known
as Natty Knighties? (just a thought)

Subject: Misc. FK items
First, for those who think that they could help save FK by getting someone
like Rush Limbaugh interested enough in mentioning it to their followers--
PLEASE DON'T! There are more than enough selfish opportunists out there
waiting to grab onto anything to stir up their followers, and I do not want
them focusing their malevolence on our dear, beloved FK. We need positive
notice, not someone looking to put a stake into FK's heart to further their
own biases. The cast, crew, and fans have all put too much effort into FK for
it all to be ruined by folks who don't care about how good the show and the
actors are.
SOSFK letter count: I sent letters to Tristar ( JF), USA ( both RP and KK),
Sony, and one to the Fox affiliate in Little Rock where I view FK. Emailed
one note to USA.
SOSFK flyer: Alas, my computer does not have MS Word, so the file I
downloaded won't work with my WP program, Could someone please snailmail me a
copy of what they have printed out? With a good copy I could canvass a few
areas I think will accept the promotion.( Snail-mail address: Maureen
McAllister, X.X. Xxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000).
Query: Does anyone have episode copies available for season 1 & 2? I'm
willing to pay for S&H and trades. Email me, please -- MoeMcAl@a.......
I haven't posted in this list before, though I have been receiving the
digests since September. I think there are more than enough good comments and
items to keep even those FK fans ( like me) on the outskirts happy.
To the cast and crew of FK: Our best wishes are with you all. We know how
hard you have worked on the series, each in your own way, and (if it isn't
obvious by now) we fans are returning the favor. The dark spectre of
cancellation may hang around, but if anyone can suceed, you folks can. Think
of how far the fans have gone since December on behalf of you all. Kinda like
karma, or a good investment.
