Oh, my, I think I may be a "Dark Knightie"! *Too* many things on that list seem
to apply to me.

Unfortunately, I had a dream where he *wanted* to bite my neck (that part was
good), but felt really guilty about it and controlled himself. Well, sort of;
he then rushed off to the holodeck to bite a simulated neck. (Sound familiar?
But I had this dream a couple of months ago!)

Subject: The Kindred
I know this is not FK related per se it is vampire related but I've just
read that this Spelling Production will air on April 3. Here's some info
if you're interested (sorry if you're not):
Kindred, an Aaron Spelling thing about clans of vampires in
> contemporary San Francisco, airs April 3."
And I can add in a few more notes from the last issue of
_Entertainment_Weekly_.
Spelling wanted it to air after Melrose on Mondays, but it will
probably be airing after 90210 on Wednesdays. It will get "that
predominantly female audience that's in the mood for this kind
of show." They also comment that it has cult following written all
over it.
C. Thomas Howell was quoted as saying that the show is *not*
family hour material. They are making love in one scene, and
decapitating someone in the next. Very sexual, very gross.
Howell is *not* playing a vampire. He is a homicide detective
that is trying to keep the vampires from getting into trouble. He
has a sort of truce with Julian Luna (played by Mark Frankel) who
is the Prince of San Francisco.
John Leekley, the creator of Kindred, is quoted as saying that he
went back to "what vampires were always about, which is humans
fearing the id set free -- sexuality and violence" rather than funny
accents and baring teeth. The article does mention the usual
kindred clans of White Wolfs vampires. However, White Wolf
is *not* mentioned even once!
According to this article, Fox has ordered the 90 minute pilot, and
7 episodes as well.
Other than bringing us altogether and giving us damn good entertainment
obviously FK has started up some competition!

Subject: Re: Wars, organization, and cross affliations
First off, I strongly second not starting another war for a while yet!

Organized? Us? Nahhhhhh! Actually, wars tend to be organized chaos -- the
basic plot eventually gets hashed out by the e-mail loop the faction
leaders set up -- eventually, we do figure out where we're going.
Occassionally, you get more mail fromt eh various factiona nd leader
loops than the Fic list!
The practical jokes, et al, get organized by asking the faction leader
where they or their character is going to be at a given time, then plan
accordingly. And you have to ask the faction leader for permission to use
that faction's character -- that's one of the big keys to keeping it
organized.
And some factions (hi cousins!) don't bother to avoid in-fighting -- they
get off on it! Knighties tend to be a bit busy defending ourselves from
everyone and his cousin to fight amoungst ourselves. <smug, tired look
from one of the ones with a target on her back in War 5>
As for cross-affiliations -- ahem. The next war is going to be damned
interesting, since I, one of the co-leaders of the Knighties, am now an
honorary NatPacker as well.
> BTW, who is the leader/organizer for the Knighties, Natpackers,
> and/or Nick&NatPackers? Has that been decided?
It generally gets hashed out in the faction when the planning for the war
starts. Currently, me and Cath Boone are co-leading the Knighties -- I
have no clue who's in charge anywhere else.
Which reminds me, any Knighties who want to be in the mailing loop (hell,
no, this is *not* pre-war sword rattling, this is me looking for people to
hit up for stuff for the web page, I can't deal with another war yet!),
e-mail me -- address is in the .sig.

Ugh, Janette seems like she was hardly *in* the first season!
OK, I'll try:
Feeding the Beast, "It's your neck..."
Dance By the Light of the Moon, "How strong is your weakness?"
And I'm drawing a blank. Sorry. I think 2nd season was *much* better for
Janette, Fate Worse than Death obviously, but The Fix, and any episode in
which she and Schanke were commiserating. :)

Subject: SOS: Cranes and Syndie Response (long)
(I hope putting "SOS" in my subject is correct for this one. If I'm
mistaken, please let me know -- privately.)
The worry about the cranes being connected with Hiroshima
prompted me to speak to my friend Tomomi, who is Japanese, though she
went to high school in Hawaii, and is coming to college here in
Washington. Tomomi says that this is a misconception, probably fostered
by the American media's myopic view of Japan. In fact, she says that at
the national baseball championships it is customary for fans to send
properly assembled cranes to their team. What better parallel for us?
In other news, my syndie (KAYU Spokane) promptly responded to my latest
mailing, and though it wasn't terribly encouraging, I will type out the
parts of it that I'm clinging to for hope. I edit a little publication
for my university living group, so of course I devoted my entire Editor's
Page in the first issue of the semester to SOS FK. Our print run is only
75, but I made up another 15 for the benefit of the TriStar, Sony and USA
mail rooms. One copy went to my local syndie, and it looks like they
actually *read* it, from their first paragraph:
"Thank you very much for your letter. You have a very cool signature. I
would also like to thank you for sending me an issue of The Even Steven.
The articles provided very enjoyable reading. Please extend my personal
best wishes to Becky Ives and her fiance on their recent engagement."
Hope, so quickly dashed! From here, they degenerate into what is clearly
a form letter: "as a fan of good television programs," "very interesting
show," "performed well in syndication." Sheesh. I know this is
form-letter material, because my friend Victoria (not yet an FK-er, but
I'm working on it) got the same response to the letter I convinced her to
write. How am I deriving hope from this? Well, doesn't the *existence*
of a form letter indicate the *need* for a form letter to stave off pesky
fans? Or am I reaching?
They continue, "because CTTD may not carry the show past Fall 1996, our
station will not air the show when our contract ends in September. We
are not canceling the show unilaterally... simply completing our
obligations. If you are associated with a letter-writing campaign to
save the show, I wish your efforts well. However, I suggest that you
please do not write to the stations carrying the show. If you want your
message to have effect, please write to the producers and distributors of
the show." They then insert Feltheimer's address, only with FK's title
in place of his name.
Does anyone know how I ought to take this? They do manage to make me
feel guilty for bugging them... <sigh> ... and the TV schedule for this
weekend says they're pre-empting FK *again*...

Not necessarily the knee socks, but plaid "skirts" can be

The last time I tried to polka, I had a ball! The dance

Well, I'm a KOQTV too. The shows are too numerous to miss. I kind of

someone please e-mail me if there really is such a tape? I'd like a copy!
And finally, I mostly lurk, usually posting only on some of the more
trivial threads, but, even if we lose FK, I'm going to stick around. This
list, (as well as the Fang Gang over at AOL), have shown me that I'm not an

Subject: More reasons to be a Warrior
Okay, not ignoring the ongoing War to End All Wars, but here's a few
reasons I forgot:
*Music! Who can forget "Les Vachons, les Vachons, hee hee hee haw haw haw!"
(God knows I can't. Caught myself humming the damn thing while I was filing
stuff last week). And the "No one Sucks like Vachon, etc." song... as well
as so many, many others. Hey, anyone want to set "Nick I Am" to music?
Plus, of course, the wonderful impromptu PHANTOM OF THE OPERA performed by
the Natpackers at the Raven while on LSD. You can not buy tickets to stuff
like this in Real Life.
*Money! Virtual money. A reallllly good motivation for a Merc. That, and
the opportunity to cause mayhem. Blame what you do on someone else. Lie.
Cheat. Steal. Kidnap. In other words, get all your aggressions out, as
someone else mentioned.
*The Lurkers! Who always put on a production in hyperspace or something,
like last year's Brady Bunch crossover... scary stuff. Will they do Sound
of Music this year? Or a tribute to Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome?
*Justice, maybe. :) Hey. We won't mention names. But we KNOW who they are.
The ones were fighting now. The ones with Too Much Power For Their Own
Good. Who's to say, that if we were in Toronto, and they were in Toronto,
and we had the opportunity, that...

sure a lot of other people on this list like the third season as well. Like
all of the newbies who have yet to even see eps from season one or two --
*they* wouldn't even be here if season three is as bad as you just made it
out to be. Just my idle thoughts on the matter.

Yeah. It was the stereotypical Irish cop and the Chicago uniforms
that made some first think it was an older flashback. But then it
was noted that the Chicago cops still wear those checkered caps (if
you don't believe that, watch a Due South ep) and the car also placed
the flashbacks in the 60's. But how a guy suspected of Communism in
Chicago in the 50s could be in town a decade or less later as a cop...
And then there was the ep where he was a cop at the convention in
Chicago (sure looked like the 1968 Dem convention to me)...he must
like the town a lot. (Flashing on Nick doing a bad Frank Sinatra
imitation just now)

Laurie Salopek, the esteemed listowner of DEBSPLAY has posted that she's
leaving it active for Ger's Play. So I guess if you have any questions you
should subscribe to DEBSPLAY@p....... by sending a message to
LISTSERV@p........ Those of us who did for Deb's play found it
invaluable. Stand up and take a bow Laurie!
I'm sure that once everyone has recovered from this past weekend in TO that

As a third season newbie (I was brought across by the show after watching
Strings) I think this is right. I've seen several posts indicating that new
viewers got hooked fron just one 3rd season ep. After viewing this ep I made
a search on the net and found the newsgroup and that led me to these
lists....(wouldn't it be nice if TPTB would just but all the info on this
stuff in the closing credits?) If the 3rd season were all that terrible my
guess is that new blood would take the form of kidnap victims tied to a chair
and force fed 1st and 2nd season on tape.
As always, remember the source.

All right, that brings me to the next natural question: Does anyone
have a list of the birthdays of all the "regulars" of the show? (Mr. Wyn

answered somewhere, roast me slowly over an open flame.

What's the story with FK novels? Who writes them--fans? Professional
writers? I assume they are stories based on the FK characters, but are they
new stories or expanded versions of TV eps? Do fanfic stories ever make it
to novels (some of them are certainly good enough!) Somebody fill me in,
please. Thanks!

Yes, but can you honestly say that you *liked* such episodes as Trophy
Girl, and Outside the Lines? (The 2 worst eps of history IMO) And how about
Let No Man Tear Asunder. Sure the last 8 or so eps have been great, (as soon
as USA was out of the picture with the exception of Night In Question and
Sons Of Belial... oh and I think Fever but I'm not sure.) This season's
gotten a lot better, but it still has it's nasty memories.

Lane, I'm sorry but that is definitely not true. There are surprises,
but there is also tons of e-mail between the faction leaders in the
leader loop and between each individual faction loop. Perhaps the Mercs
didn't have a faction loop and each did their own thing, but there really
is a framework to the wars. I hung with the Ravenettes during the last
War and we discussed most everything we did, both for suggestions on how
to make the attack better and for problems.
Organization and timing was a major factor of the last War (at least
certain segments of it) and I anticipate that it will be even more
important in the next war with more and more people wanting to participate.
It is especially important when the War starts winding up and we are all
supposed to settle down and party hardy.
For example, in the last War Susan Garrett, and then I, contacted Jenny
Hayes, the Chief Warmonger, before doing something as major as kicking
the Cousins out of the Raven. In fact, I believe we even contacted the
Cousin leader and checked with her, but I'm not 100% sure of that. The
faction leaders don't tell the rest of their faction about "attacks" that
are supposed to be sneak attacks, but we check with the leaders for major
plot contradictions and timing. Sometimes it can be as simple as "Will
LaCroix be at the Raven around dusk on November 4th?" Only the faction
leader can say that for sure.
Also, when Cousin Candice and I were having "fights" back and forth over
the Raven and with LaCroix, we e-mailed each other all the time to
coordinate attacks.
I know this is a serious reply to what was probably supposed to be a
joke, but Wars do take timing.

Belated thanks for the LA times of FK and Highlander. We all gathered

and Adrian Paul's Lifestyles segment (which was on after FK), and VPing

I spoke with Ginjer at Leapcon this past weekend and she confirmed that
the books are still coming out.
Incidentally, even if FK is canceled that doesn't mean the books would
be, too. Berkely puts out the Quantum Leap novels and they are a major
success, three years after cancellation of the series, with over a
million copies in print. Let's hope the same happens with the FK ones.
