The author is Vincent Courtney, and it was published in 1991, so I don't
where you might get it now. I got it in the States somewhere as I was
driving to Toronto. You would more than likely have to special order it
in, if it is still available. I should warn you though, contrary to the
subject title, this book is not a vampire romance, it is a thriller/
horror, and it can get quite graphic at times. Just a friendly warning.

Subject: Re: SOS-FK Commercial <again>

It looks as though TriStar probably does own all the rights to FK (which
we sort of figured, but were hoping wasn't the case). Which means that we
are not going to be able to use clips from the show in the commercial.

Instead is there anybody with a high quality printer who can print up a
copy of Jamie's web page and mail it to Kira ASAP? She can use the
skyline as background, with the WebSite at the bottom during the
duration, along with the phone number and whatever other info she can
include. I don't have access to a printer that is good enough to do this,
though.

Also, I know I said this before but, we need more stations. In a lot of
places the rates aren't too bad. In SF a Forever Knight spot is $75 (We
are aiming for the Highlander package, though, which includes two
first-run eps of HL and two eps of FK...but that is very expensive and we
may end up having to settle for just a couple FK spots); anyway, my point
is, look into how much a spot costs at your local syndie. A lot of
stations will discount the fee because the spot is advertising *the
station* as well. But in order to do that we have to include station info
in the commercial. Which means Kira needs the info ASAP.

She also got a full time job now, so she's going to have to work on her
time-juggling skills to pull this off...and as such, I know I asked
before, but I will ask again: Is there anyone on list in Sonoma County
(or even Marin/Napa counties) who would be willing to help out a bit?
E-mail me privately.

That's all for now.

Subject: questions again....

Here's something else that's been bugging me. <gryn> Now I finally got to see
some 1st season stuff, it's really hit me...

What's up with Natalie's hair? Now, I'm have medium length hair, a bit
shorter than hers. If I was in a morgue, poking around in dead bodies, this
stuff would be UP; out of the way. The latter part of the 3rd season it's
been down, and hanging in her face. Literally. That would bug me even if I
wasn't digging in gunk.

Any ideas why they've done this?

You know you need sleep when this is the deepest thing you can come up
with....

Subject: Re: Nigel Alert - RIGHT NOW

        It was called "87th Precinct Ice" -- and I echo everyone who
said, how'd we miss this?  Nigel had a *big* role; we shoulda known!
I just happened to catch the post and see 3/4 of it-- thanks to the
original poster!

        The film featured 3 FK people:  Nigel, and Urs, and also one of
the guest stars from season 2-- the girl who played the hooker with the
baby played a drug dealer's girlfriend last season -- I don't remember the
name of the ep, but I think it was the one where the real killer was a
girl from Texas whose innocence Nick believed and Schanke didn't-- it had
the great flashback with the sweet nun.

        Nigel was great, very wicked, much less restrained than he plays
LaCroix, though with the same haircut.  He plays an ambitious petty
criminal who masquerades as a priest and is fond of quoting, in Latin,
the line the serpent used to tempt Adam and Eve in the garden.  He runs
with, and loves devotedly, the evillest woman this side of Kathy Bates in
'Misery'.

        Urs was Urs.  (I *like* Urs)

        Gee, only ten actors in all of Canada, and there were three of
them...

Subject: N.B. on NBC

Hi, guys.  I just found more proof for the theory that there are only about
37 actors in Canada.  NBC just ran a movie called 87th Precinct: Ice, and our
very own Uncle had a part.  He plays a pretty good nasty, but was nothing at
all like LaCroix.  Think of someone as destructive as LaCroix, but without
any of the redeeming qualities (no deep monologues, no education, no taste,
etc.)  I'm pretty sure I spotted the girl (sorry, don't know her name) who
plays Urs, too.  She had an itty-bitty part, but anyone that pretty is hard
to miss.  Thought I'd let y'all know in case you want to hunt down someone
who taped the movie.

BTW, Dale Midkiff <pant,pant> starred in the movie.  He was the one who
played Darian Lambert in Time Trax, for those of you who remember that show.
 I know at least one person out there remembers, just from her .sig.  (Hi,
Selma!)

ObFK comment:  Um, um <running through blank mind to no avail>  Okay, how
about a question?  Has the show ever explained how Nick got turned onto law
enforcement?  Yes, I know he wants to "repay mankind", but how, specifically,
did he decide becoming a cop would be the way to go?

Subject: Paper cranes  GO FOR IT! :)

Viper asked:
>Ok, so the paper crane cursade is now official? If so, we need to get the word
>out (maybe getting 2 mobils will REALLY get Sony's attention).

Well, we seem to have interest. I've had at least 10 people volunteer already,
so let's go for it folks!

Viper (75052.2262@c.......) and Bonnie (bonnie@o.......) have both
volunteered to collect folded cranes and string them into mobiles. Please,
could you two figure out where you are, geographically? If (as I hope) you're
on opposite sides of the US, we could divide up the crane donations that way,
and have less chance of them being damaged in-transit to you.  Let me know
what you work out.

Those wanting to participate, check out the following websites for folding
instructions:

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~adysart/origami/crane1.html
http://jw.stanford.edu:80/KIDS/SCHOOL/ART/origami/kids_origami

You can probably get origami paper at any art/craft store, but if you can't
any good quality, thin paper *will* work. I've folded cranes from everything
from Christmas wrap to typing paper, but thinner paper is better.  Also, we
want this to look nice, so try to find nice-looking paper.

Viper, who apparently has some experience with this, suggests 7.5 cm squares,
to keep the mobiles from being unreasonably large.  Anybody out there know
what that is in inches, for the metrically-challenged? <g>

When we know where Bonnie & Viper are, we'll let you know who to contact
(depending on geographic location) for mailing addresses.

If you do want in, please *private E-mail me*, so we know whether we have
enough people for this project to work.  Remember, if everybody does 10
cranes, we need 100 people for each "wishing crane mobile".  Frankly, I'd like
to be able to send one to *each* of the three Sony execs listed under "Sony
USA" on Karen Tobin's list. To do that, we need 300 people willing to fold 10
cranes apiece.

I'll try to get a web page up on this tomorrow, after work (it's already past
my bedtime) so Jamie only has to add a link to the FK page.

Please, could whoever is keeping AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy, and any other
service I've forgotten updated (I've got the list somewhere, but I can't lay
hands on it at the momemt) post a notice once I've got a URL established?

And remember, as you fold your cranes, *wish for a fourth season*. Concentrate
on that *and nothing else* as you fold!

Subject: Nigel Sighting on NBC Movie!

Hey, everybody,  I just finished watching Ed McBain's 87 Precinct
Ice on NBC tonight and Nigel had a small role in it.  He played
Brother Anthony, a lowlife creep with a scar on his left cheek,
whose girlfriend liked to cut people with a razor.  (I just read that
last sentence back and it sounds like a twisted nursery rhyme.)
Very, very unpleasant guy.  Nigel did a great job portraying his
viciousness.  He made me hate Brother Anthony.

I would rather deal with LaCroix in one of his worst moods than
this guy.  For one thing, LaCroix has that GREAT voice.

Subject: Make Your Own FK Screensaver

The traffic on the list requesting an FK screensaver has exceeded my
capacity for complacency, so if you have Windows 3.1 and you want
instructions for creating a personalized FK screensaver using software and
pictures downloaded off the internet, e-mail me *off-list* at
<percy91@w.......> with the word SCREENSAVER in the subject line.

The screensaver will use pictures and video files of your choice, as long
as they are .GIF, .BMP, or .AVI files.  Good pictures can be downloaded off
the Sony web page and the FK ftp site.  The actual screensaver software is
an evaluation copy, which means that every once in a while a registration
page comes up on the screen instead of the pretty pictures you've chosen.
You can eliminate this by following the instructions and ordering a full
copy of the program from the software company.  But the evaluation copy
is free.

But then I found out today that according to LaCroix in the second season
episode Father's Day, "*Nothing* is free."  I think LaCroix must be an
economist because that's the first thing they taught us in Econ 101 years
ago when I was a freshman in college.  ("There ain't no such thing as a
free lunch" is how they put it.)

Hmm.  "Nothing is free" sounds like a quote for the Mercs.  And "there
ain't no such thing as a free lunch" sounds like a good quote for a
FoD/Merc faction.  Anyone want to establish one?

I have to agree with that. What would be wrong bringing Nat across so they could
be together,  work  on the cure together, and maybe become mortal together

Subject: Re: NEED SCREEN SAVER

you can downlaod vueprint.exe from AOL. Just do a seach for it. It is also
available on COmpuserve.

Once this program is loaded you can creat a screensaver from GIF, JPEG files
you download from the net. You can go to the FK FTP site and download a bunch
of files and then set this program as a screensaver.

By the way, the program self destructs in 45 days unless you register for it.
It costs 40.

You cannot trick the self destruct by reloading it either. I tried and
finally gave in and paid the 40. Its a nice program. it can convert anything
to wallpaper and visa versa. It can convert GIF to JPEG to TIF etc.

One other point about this:

How much will the shipping be?  Due to bulk, it will probably be quite a

I've been thinking about the same thing lately, although mostly along the
lines of "How did he go to the academy, etc., if he can't go out in
sunlight?"  Were special classes scheduled?  This might also apply to rookie

To ship them, fold them so that tail, head and wings are pointing up, and flat.
It's a simple matter to open up the cranes. This way, they have very little
volume and small amounts can even be shipped in envelopes.

>> Anybody out there know

about 2.5 inches, and I've found that the little tear-off notepad papers are
ideal, though a little heavy. If possible, don't use the larger, more common
paper, because otherwise the mobiles get VERY large.

Also, at about 4 mins apiece (at first it's more like 5, but one gets the hang
of it after about 5), I would really like 20 per person.

Wendy Marie Christensen asked:
>>Is white paper cool or should we used colored?<<
White is good if you have nothing else, but colors are very nice. Some of the
more professionally done mobiles have large blocks of color blending into each
other, and they look incredible.

sorry about the length.

collect all the cranes at my place and send them out if this is agreeable to

they made them eg.. the reason why they watch FK.  I just thought this might

Subject: Nigel "sighting" on the Web

While browsing the web, I came across something verrrry interesting.
Yes, we non-Canadians can now hear one of Nigel's "Oatmeal Crisps"
commercials in RealAudio format.  You do need a RealAudio player, but
that can be downloaded for free at various sites.

The context of the audio clip is interesting, too.  It's from a
night-time show on a Vancouver radio station.  The Canadian DJ called
up an early-morning radio show in SCOTLAND, live, played the clip to
the host, and asked what he thought of it.  He had kind things to say
about Nigel's Scottish accent, but was taken aback by the product.
Although he didn't use the exact words, his reaction was more or less
"It's nae oatmeal!".  :-)

Maybe he didn't even go to the academy.  Just spent some nights at the
library with law enforcement books, a couple of nights at the shooting
range, plus all the skills he's acquired over the past 700 odd years, So,
with a bit of hypnotizing and record alterations later....  Detective Knight.

Don't forget, in the first season, Larry Merlin had to "create" a history
for him because he wasn't in the police data base.

I am sure this is going to start a string of questions, but is the

esp. "Dying for Fame" on the cd?  Of course, I am not sure of the musical

As one of the first to return from Toronto (unlike the fortunate many, I
don't get presidents' day off), I just wanted to share with a list what a
wonderful time we all had at Deb Duchene's production of A Winter's
Tale.  Not only was it terrific to see and/or meet so many listfolks,
but Deb was the most wonderful, gracious person.  At the pre-performance
dinner, she made time to chat with all of us, sign our autographs, and
pose for pictures -- despite having to go do a play shortly afterwards.  She
also apologized for the tone of the Toronto Star
article that Marg had posted to the list.  It was the reporter who was
working under the assumption that the fans are obsessive dweebs -- Deb
knows better, and told us so.

Those of you not on the Debsplay list won't have known about the
wonderful tribute volume Cousine Celeste put together for us -- many of
the attendees contributed a page in honor of Deb -- artwork, a note,
quotes, or fiction, and Celeste put it together into a beautiful
hardbound (!) book.  Deb was actually moved to tears.

To: DottiR -- disregarding the flagrant violation of spoiler rules that
was committed here, there's only one possible name for a faction of
people who believe that You-Know-Who is actually dead.  And that would
be:  Delusional.

Boy, I hope so.  I've heard in the background since at the Raven and I just
loved it. Ofcourse, it also reminds me of  the few times where the tag has a
happy Nick, pleased with himself for a change. (Not to mention that dream

Tonight I'll be folding cranes for FK like many of you, and although I *love*
the idea of the 1000 crane mobiles and am participating in that project, I'm
gonna hold out a few cranes to send in individual letters to Sony execs,
timed to arrive about the same time as the mobile. I think if we all did
this, it would stress that there are a *lot* of us out here, not just one
crane-folding-fanatic!

Then I'm gonna fold *one more crane* and hang it above my computer monitor,
as a constant reminder of how much enjoyment this list has given me.

I seem to recall an ep where he goes up to the captain or the chief in about
1920 or so and hypnotizes him into thinking he (Nick) is transferring from
somewhere else.  No Academy as far as I know (but what I don't know could
fill up a whole book).  And as I also recall, he was using a rather strange
Irish accent at the time...  Can anyone clarify this?  I'm not doing a very
good job explainig.

I can't spell it worth a darn, but it's something like poryphria or

a couple minutes exposure.

     OK, I'm confused.  WWOR is the local Channel 9, and at 7 PM ET, they
show Married ... With Children.  Are there two WWORs?  (I thought that was
against the rules)
Or is it possible that the WWOR uplinked to the satellite isn't the same one
we see here?

Subject: Letters to Sony

I think the cranes is a great idea.

As far as writing to Sony about the buy-out, you should go with your on
conscience on that one as to whether or not to mention it.  There was an
initial mix up as to the source, but we do now know where it came from
(Future-Stars published by Michael Garrett).  However, since this service
is extremely expensive and exclusive be aware that we might simply not be
able to get an actual copy of the article, although we do have the content
from a *very* reliable source.  And "Future-Stars" is reportedly a reliable
service.  Incidentally, I don't think the third party was named in that
report either, so we may either never know, or we'll have to find out
through other channels.

For myself, I *did* mention the buyout, and asked Sony if they could please
explain to me why TriStar didn't take it, and also politely asked them to
reconsider their decision.  I also mentioned the complete lack of response
from TriStar, and also that it seemed as though we were deliberately
mislead about the cancellation and the importance of February sweeps.  I
also mentioned it in my letters to the affiliates.

I've also decided to put "Personal" on my next letter to Jon Feltheimer, so
there'll be a better chance *someone* at TriStar will read it.  I didn't
like the report that said our mail was getting shipped over to the Paragon
LA office (and how in the heck do they know it comes from us anyway?).

It does seem to me that it might be more effective if SONY got a lot of
cranes from all over the country, and I like the idea of including one or
two in our individual letters to Sony as well as sending a bunch to the
people who are putting them together.

What seems like ages ago a very kind listmember lent me her first and
second seaon tapes. Well, recently a close friend became a fan of the
show (A definite Natpacker!) and would like to have the episodes she
has only heard about from me. As her twentieth wedding anniversary is
this year, I decided that to try to get her some copies. Only problem
is that I didn't copy the tapes when I had them (only one VCR, got to
get that corrected). So if there is some nice person out there willing
to make copies of first and second season for me to give my friend, I
would gladly pay for blank tapes and postage.

itself but not what it was for; the commercial is so creative it sucks

Last week sometime someone wrote about the difficulties we've been having
here in G.R. with WZZM TV 13.  I called them up Friday (in a fit of guilt
becoming any red blooded Knightie since I hadn't called since the trouble
began) and found that we aren't alone!  The guy I talked to said they have
been getting a lot of calls from fans of the show and apoligized about
making us miss last week's ep (some cheezy excuse about having to fit in
a movie according to a contract and the FK spot seeming to be the only
place to put it in)  When asked about picking it up for a forth season,
he said that the word was it was over with, but with all the response
from viewers, they would ask for it and that they were keeping a file
on everyone who had called or written in concerning the show!  Someone
may actually be taking notice of our efforts!  Cool!
