(This is my one and _only_ response to the so-called "FK Tour Warning" posted by the fictitious "NotTourNot@a......." account. Followups in private e-mail, please. The original post was a blatant flame, and in my rebuttal, I have probably been guilty of the same. For this, I apologise, but I also hope that followups can be conducted in private, as _should_ have been the case in the first place!) Hmmm. "Ain't that a kick in the crotch" indeed. It now seems as though I do share something with Uncle after all - namely, being flamed by a group of anonymous cowards. Come on, show your faces in public if you've got such an axe to grind. We of the Toronto contingent aren't exactly being _forced_ to run tours. We do it because we like to meet other fans and we hope that they appreciate being shown the sites where their show is filmed. We also hope that they realise that we're hardly a professional tour company, and furthermore, that the tour organised around Deb's play was the _first_ time that a tour was organised with _multiple_ cars (and we don't even charge a penny, for Pete's sakes!). That this particular tour didn't go off without a hitch is regrettable, but certainly not worthy of the hatred shown to us, and to me specifically. (I notice that they ended up absolving Lynne of most responsibility, and specifically referred to themselves as _my_ "victims" rather than as _our_ "victims"). In short, we gave them the hand of fellowship - and what we got in return was a kick in the teeth. Gee, thanks. Having said this, it's actually patently obvious who the writers were, as there were eight people in the two cars ahead of me, _including_ Lynne, therefore leaving seven "suspects". For that matter, why they waited a month and a half to spout off (let alone the fact that they even bothered to create their own fictitious account to do so) is an amusing question, but I'll leave it for your kill file. Well, here goes... NotTourNot@a....... (who's that? Enquiring minds want to know!) writes... >Will Steeves wrote: >> please don't shoot me...or "Fire at Will", for that matter). >Consent freely given! We can't let this one pass, sorry. If you could read, you might have noticed that I said "Please _don't_". >> Catherine Siemann: Hmm...on behalf of the Ravenettes, would you ever so >>kindly accept my most humble of apologies for having had Deborah autograph >>a _third_ season cast photograph? >NO! Catherine, don't accept this apology. After all, Raven/ettes have >pride. Here, we have a "person" or group of "persons" who take(s) the whole idea of factions, _way_ too seriously. Cousins also have pride, but mature people don't use anonymity as an excuse to hurl insults, regardless of their particular faction. You have done your fellow Ravenettes a great disservice. >Binder paper would have been better and he should know that. Actually, I didn't have binder paper (graph paper just wouldn't have been particularly appropriate, either), and my only paraphernalia relevant to Forever Knight were a few pictures of Geraint, a signed picture of Nigel, and the third season picture. Obviously, it didn't bother Deb as much as it bothered Catherine or you people, so get over it already. >He is, after all, a grownup. ...which is more than I can say for you "people". >It all started one bitterly cold, windy Sunday afternoon in February. At >1:30 p.m. Toronto time, Will Steeves and Lynne Ackerman were to meet in the >lobby of the Primrose Hotel to co-ordinate a "three hour tour" of Forever >Knight hotspots. Their victims Victims? Good grief. >were instructed to meet them at 2 p.m., and to be ready to leave right away. Who said to "leave right away"? Not myself. Not Lynne. We did actually tell you that we were planning out the most efficient route. As for the possible claim that "you should have done that before," I will say, matter-of-factly, that I didn't realise that a car tour was even wanted, until Saturday night. You see, there had been a lot of talk that Lynne and the Toronto contingent were going to be conducting a _walking_ tour instead of a car tour, so we had planned out a _walking_ tour. When we realised how cold it was, and that few people were willing to walk around in such temperatures, we had to organise our map again, so "excuuuuse us". >Shortly (?) after 2 p.m., Will and Lynne finally appeared. They left their >victims standing by the elevators as they huddled on a couch, scribbling >hieroglyphics on scraps of paper. Thank you for your recognition of our great knowledge of Egyptology, but in fact, those "hieroglyphics" were the sites being plotted on the map. There were something like 20 sites to reach, so excuse us for not having had a Cray Supercomputer on hand, plotting the most efficient route for us. >Inquiries were made from time to time by the victims as to when the tour >would leave, but no answers were forthcoming. Actually, the truth is that anyone who asked, was told that we were working on it. I explained the complexity of the problem, and requested a certain degree of patience, which I had _thought_ was forthcoming. > The "Tour Guides" were still figuring out what they were going to show us on >the tour. Gee ... and we thought they'd given this tour many times before. We have. See the post from Allison Percy (Thank you, Allison!!! Thank you!)...we have also taken others on the tour, but as I said before, this was the _first_ tour that involved multiple cars. Besides which, I had just (the night before) downloaded the sites listed on the FAQ, some of which were in neither mine nor Lynne's list of sites. We were incorporating the extra sites into the route, if you must know. >Eventually, when the victims were ready to call it quits, Will finally >announced that the tour was ready to leave. There was only one small >problem. His car had no gas. Excuse me for believing it prudent to top up my tank in advance of a lengthy trip. We don't even charge for gas, so give it a rest already. >Sooooo... Will went to get his car and meet everyone out front, while the >victims piled into two cars, with Lynne in the front car (so she could let >them know what they were seeing -- too bad about the victims in the second >car, surely they'd be able to figure it out on their own), ...then the driver of the second car should have been with us while we were plotting out the route, shouldn't she? >and prepared to follow Will to the gas station. There was only one small >problem. Will forgot that he was the leader. No, I didn't forget that I was supposed to be the leader. I pulled into the circular driveway behind Jane's car and Lana's car, instead of _in front_ of the driveway, because of the traffic conditions and certain impediments on the street and on the driveay. Perhaps if you were actually looking at the traffic conditions, you might have realised why I pulled _into_ the driveway, instead in front of it. To wit: 1) There was a car in the driveway in front of Jane's and Lana's cars. In other words, if I had pulled out in front of the driveway, I would have been partially blocking that car. Furthermore, 2) There was a very large tour bus in the right hand lane of Carlton St, where I had been _planning_ to wait for the car in front of Jane's and Lana's, to move out of the way. If I had waited in the _left_ lane, I would have choked off the traffic flow on Carlton completely (only two lanes, "doncha know"), thus creating a safety hazard. Even if I _had_ pulled out in front of the bus (tricky, but not impossible, I grant), I would have been _right on top_ of the corner of Jarvis and Carlton, therefore blocking right hand turns...note of course that because of the bus blocking the line of sight, people making right turns may not have noticed me until they had hit my car .... (If anyone wants a more detailed explanation of the site in question, he/she is free to e-mail us - in private, please, for the sake of the list) The two front cars were _right_ in front of mine. Are you actually claiming that you didn't see me??? >When the victims pulled out of the driveway, Will was nowhere in sight. He >claimed later that he was behind the second car, but no-one saw him ... and >we were looking for him. Where, pray tell? I was behind the two front cars, but they had both found empty spaces in the traffic, long before I actually did. In short, my plan was to follow the front two cars into the traffic, then pull ahead. Unfortunately, the traffic had other ideas, so to speak, ie., oncoming cars made it impossible to turn out until several minutes later. By then, both cars were long gone. >Following Lynne's instructions, ..._misreading_ Lynne's instructions, actually. In fact, you even admit as much. See below. >the first car turned out of the driveway and made a left turn at the lights. ...which fact I did _not_ see, thanks in part to the eastbound traffic blocking the line of sight, but most of all because of my attempts to scan the oncoming traffic (coming from _the other direction_, I might add...) >This was, apparently, not quite correct. Yes, they were supposed to go west on Carlton, not north on Jarvis!! >As result of the misunderstanding, both cars had to make illegal u-turns. Lynne informs me that these turns were _not_ illegal. In fact, the turns weren't even U-Turns, as you claim. Both cars turned left into a driveway, then backed out into the southbound lane. There is no U turn to be found in this manoeuvre. >In a futile attempt to discover what had happened to Will, the two cars >paused briefly near the hotel, but continued on when it was obvious that he >had not waited for his tour to follow him. I had taken the _correct_ route, hoping to catch up to the first two cars, after which time I went back to the hotel in the hope that the first two cars had returned. Apparently, according to Lynne, one of the people advised _against_ that, suggesting that if they took the route on the map, we would eventually end up meeting. However, meeting back at the hotel would have likely been the _best_ idea, and I grant that we should have suggested this idea as a contigency. However, we didn't think of it - we're _not_ professional guides, if I didn't say that enough already. However, as "grownups," we learn by our mistakes, and will include contigency planning as a part of the next tour - which is still a go, in spite of this nonsense. >He later claimed that his victims had "lost" him. Exactly how do you lose >your leader? Answer: by pulling out into traffic several minutes before he is able to safely do so, then going the wrong way. Is that a good enough answer for you people? For that matter, why would I have _wanted_ to lose you? We've done countless tours before, not with multiple cars, granted, but we've never "lost" anyone, or vice versa. >Lynne assured the victims in the first car that she could guide the tour. Actually...as above, she told me that one of you told her to go on without me, hoping that we'd meet up later. Hmmph! Get your facts straight, hmmm...or are you calling Lynne a liar? >Illegally parking in front of and blocking the entrance to the parking garage >of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Headquarters. There was only one small >problem: the police officer trying to get into the garage objected. Did Lynne _ask_ you to do this? I seriously doubt that she would advise you to park illegally. Even so, we aren't professionals, and if you consider our suggestions to be bad (or illegal, for that matter), you are free to _ignore_ them. (deletions...yawn...) >At this point, the victims staged a rebellion. They no longer wanted to >follow the "tour". All they wanted was to see the loft, the police station >and the studio. So, off we went. Fine...the tour was for you, so if you only wanted to see the "main" sites, that was your own business. That you called it "staging a rebellion" was bizarre. Lynne wasn't exactly holding a gun to your head, _forcing_ you to go places. There was nothing nor anyone to "rebel" against. >A quick drive through Chinatown on a Sunday. There was only one small >problem. The cars didn't move in Chinatown that Sunday. Heck, >the pedestrians were hardly able to move in Chinatown that Sunday. So... >the cars crawled along the road -- at one point, almost losing each other. Well, you know..._nothing_ moves on Chinatown streets, _ever_, especially not along Dundas (I didn't even have to ask Lynne, to know that you were on Dundas). If you had done things the _right_ way, I wouldn't have led you there, and in fact, the map pretty much _avoided_ the area. Good grief. Also, according to Lynne, you _had_ to go to Dundas, in order to pick up some photographs before the photo store (near Yonge and Dundas) closed for the day. If I were there, I'd have suggested a different route, which would have travelled through a greater distance, but which would have taken less time. >One of the victims took advantage of the lull and got out of a car to pick up >her photographs. I know of whom you're referring...see below. >Lynne directed the first car in a looping maneuver, including a highly >illegal u-turn on Yonge Street. Lynne informs me that you made no U-Turns on Yonge. In fact, you went north on _Victoria_, a minor street compared to Yonge, and the next street over. >By the time the victims made it back, the photographs had been picked up, >paid for, and the victim was waiting patiently for her ride. Are you including Lillian (who very kindly volunteered to pick up Lana's pictures) as a "victim"? Are you claiming that she was a willing participant in this despicable enterprise of yours? Lynne and I both really doubt that, after having met her, and do humbly believe that she is incapable of such a dishonourable and cowardly act as you have wrought upon us. >The victims did make it to the loft and the police station. There are >photographs to prove this. There was only one small problem. By this time, >one victim had surrendered to motion sickness from driving around in circles >for hours. And the tour wasn't over. Ah, and are you also claiming Felicia as one of your own? Come on, show your faces publicly - what, are you _afraid_? >So, on to the studio via a brief peek at Jilly's strip club. There was only >one small problem. This was against the clearly spoken wishes of the victims >-- they didn't want to see Jilly's strip club. Well gee, excuse Lynne for living...Jilly's is near the same corner as the general location of the loft... Is she a criminal for pointing it out? You can't get from the loft to the precinct without going by Jilly's, so it isn't as though Lynne took you out of your way just to go to Jilly's. Grow up already. >The studio was fine. It was freezing, but we got to see the dressing rooms, >ogle the cars belonging to the cast and crew and, last but certainly not >least, have our pictures taken in front of the now-removed Forever Knight >sign. There is even a truly spectacular shot of Lynne's gloved thumb in one >victim's photograph. ...and she did this on purpose, right? ...just as I "took off on you" purposely too, right? >Okay, we admit it ... the tour was unforgettable. Both drivers suffered >nervous breakdowns that evening. Did Jane and Lana, as the drivers, _tell_ you this? Are you _also_ claiming their support? >Your car will be available? Come Hell, High Water, the Antichrist, the Ontario Federation of Labour, OPSEU picketers, or even Newt Gingrich, it will. >Lynne did her best, but it was impossible for someone who doesn't drive to >lead a tour. Your victims hope you apologized to her profusely. One of the "victims" said to me, "Least said, soonest mended" in an e-mail to me. I considered it sage advice. Evidently, _you_ didn't take her advice, now did you? >You certainly didn't apologize to them. In fact, you blamed them for taking >off without you. Who told you this, hmm? I wasn't "blaming" anyone. I was disappointed that things didn't work out, but I certainly didn't "blame" anyone. >Seriously folks, the tour is a good idea. All you need is a locations list >and a car. You may even have fun ... if you don't use a "Tour Guide". Incidentally, Lynne, Marg, and I are working on a list, so if anyone chooses to do the tour individually, rather than with the Toronto folks, they may do so at their leisure. >Nominating the propellor beanie with a broken compass for the "Tour Guides" >faction pin. Propellor beanie? Why thank you for the compliment... As for the "broken" compass....it wasn't me who made the wrong turn in the first place. Don't throw stones in glass houses, as the saying goes. "Enough said". >FK Tour Survivors Support Group Come on, show yourselves publicly...or are you too cowardly? Besides which, if you had a bone to pick, you could have done it in private e-mail, but no, you pulled the old "Virgin and the Vampire" trick. Just despicable. Amusedly, Cousin Will P.S. : Just having vented upon these disaffected and immature cowards, I did _consider_ the idea of never hosting another tour again. However, as they seem to have a bone against me _personally_ (after all, one of these "victims" slagged me behind my back at the dinner table on Thursday, then stormed out of the suite soon after I arrived on Friday night, while another called me "stupid" on Saturday night), discouraging me is probably what they want, anyway. Consequently, the tour scheduled for the Sunday of Ger's play is _still_ a go. However, if you have allowed yourself to be convinced that we are as incompetent as these "people" suggest, then you may feel free to use the locations list that we'll be providing soon. However, "the more, the merrier," and we'd love to be your hosts. --- Will Steeves, B.Sc.

I've always thought that LC has more than "fatherly" feelings for Nick. I don't think Nick either has or wants to return those feelings.

However, given the untrue and nonsensical nature of the post, I probably won't. In the meantime here are a few observations: 1) I've noticed in life that some people are so horrendously dissatisfied with their lives and with themselves that they can't appreciate >anything< anyways, up to and including perfection (this is meant in a philosophical manner btw, not a personal one). And I do feel tremendous compassion for those people whose lives are so empty and who hate themselves so much that the only way they can feel better about themselves is by trying to belittle others (and most of the time ending up having to make up things so they can justify their "feelings"). Such people obviously have deeply-rooted emotional problems and we can only hope they get the expert and professional help they so desperately need, in time for it to do them some good. 2) lack of big city driving skills on your part do not constitute lack of knowledge on ours 3) A gentle word of warning: Will and I can probably give much more than you are capable of taking; in other words (she says gently), compared to us, in a battle of wits you're probably unarmed. Just because we usually choose to be amiable and helpful, rather than combative, doesn't mean we aren't capable of twisting in a dagger or two if the circumstances warrant it (which I, personally, don't think they do in this case - the whole thing is just too darn silly for words, as far as I'm concerned). 4) what you wrote constitutes a flame, which is not allowed on the list - this should be taken to private e-mail and, in fact, should never have appeared on the list in the first place 5) some people seem to be rather humour-impaired, take ordinary things way too seriously, and wouldn't recognize a joke or witticism if they tripped over it 6) grown-ups usually take their anger and hostility and apply them in more positive ways - e.g. - writing letters, folding cranes, etc. We're trying to save a show here on this list, not indulge silly childish egos.

If vampires are repelled by religious icons, why wasn't Nick repelled by the Buddha. We know for a fact is repelled by crosses. He was also repelled by the Raven knife in "Blackwing." And I believe there was an episode where he seemed uncomfortable around a Jewish Mennorah (I haven't seen this one but have heard about it). Is the Buddha not really considered a religious icon. *Or* was Nick so in awe by the fact that it could possibly cured him that he supressed any notion that the Buddha was a religious icon (one of those "mind over matter things").

It's been taking up the three days for messages to go through (at least for me). I've also noticed that things drop at different rates. Example: I've gotten a reply on a story I posted a few hours ago, and I haven't seen it on-list yet. The whole thing is beginning to get on my nerves. ObFK: YKYBWARTMFKW... Today/yesterday (whatever ya wanna call it) I went to set up a new checking account (I got Mighty Mouse checks, BTW. They didn't have FK, Hindenburg, or Dr. Demento). While I was there I heard someone calling the name Nicholas. My first reaction was, "why is he out at 11 am?". When I noticed that it was a woman telling her son not to climb some separators, it changed to "When did Uncle have the operation, and why did Nick go on the Ray Bradbury Carousel?" Needless to say, I was sleep deprived at the time. Still, it was nothing compared to my Liberty Bank logo-Planet of the Apes realization. They didn't have Planet of the Apes checks either, at least not literally. My hand (Hand!) is cramping. I'll go now. Cousin "Susan" Phoenix, Camera Fanatic of the Thong Throng phoenix@i.......

Angel commented: LC=immoral/_evil_ (does rotten things just >'cause they're fun) I beg to differ. Assuming that there is a moral standard for the human/relatively human populace, I would agree. However, that's not the case. My interpretation is that LaCroix is _extremely_ moral, he just happens to have his own set of morals. In defence of this, I cite SoB. LaCroix, if he were totally immoral wouldn't have cared whether Nicholas were possessed or not. However, he went completely against his external grain to save his son. Another example: NIQ. As he put it, (I think this is right) "Quid pro quo, Nicholas. I always pay my debts." Nick saved his life, so he saved Nick's. The "rotten things" he does are more the result of the outlook he developed during his mortal life than being nasty because it's fun. LaCroix became used to power, and proved he could yield it well. Also, it would be too difficult to send an army to the battlefield to possibly be killed, simply to kill another army if every single soldier were seen as an individual. This sort of thinking still exists in the military (I know. My dad has told me MANY stories about his army days). He became a general in mortality, and a general he is forever. This isn't immorality, it's a different view. I don't mean this as a flame, just a debate. I'd type more, but I'm sleepy. Cousin "Susan" Phoenix, Camera Fanatic of the Thong Throng phoenix@i.......

Also, if anyone has copies of the blooper reel or first/second season eps, would you be willing to dub them for me? I can provide tapes and shipping cost. I'd really like to have them for the party. TTFN! I hope to have updates periodically, maybe once a month until then. Cousin "Susan" Phoenix, Camera Fanatic of the Thong Throng phoenix@i.......

I'm making a point of buying the CD at a store. Why? My swiss cheese brain reminds me of some article I read in the dark ages of time (i.e. before last week) about this kind of thing. If I remember correctly, CD's sold in stores counted for "more points" than CD's sold by mail. They chalk the mail order ones up to the "rabid fan" theory. If in fact my swiss cheese brain is melted, I hope someone with more knowledge than this admittedly fuzzy tidbit will hop up and correct me. ;-) -- Lisa Reeves @-->--->--- | ad483@d.......

I think it _is_ kind of incestual, but I don't think it matters. They're vampires. It's ... different somehow. And frankly, giving LC's background, I don't think it would matter even if they weren't.

Actually, that might be the appropriate place to discuss any new episodes we come up with. (For those of us new to this list, about a month ago we proposed that in order to keep up discussion of "new" episodes, we have some of the excellent writers we have here turn out "scripts" and have one each week that is that week's "episode".) All of the responses we received were favorable, BTW, though we could probably use a few more writers! I've been sitting on this for a while as we wait for the end of the season but now might be a good time to ask: Are people still interested in this? ---- TJ and Sorcha Cyberspace Vanguard Magazine: News of the Science Fiction Universe http://www.cybervanguard.com Come visit us, or write us at vanguard@p....... for sponsorship info ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Mar 1996 07:44:02 -0500 From: Dotti Rhodes <dottir@w.......> Subject: Re: lots of things, really At 12:04 AM 3/27/96 -0500, you wrote: > >> I saw "Fever" last week.

Poor Will and Lynne. First of all, letters which are written by anonymous cowards should never be given the respect an answer gives them. If someone has a problem they feel important enough to gripe about, then they should be brave enough to face the one accused of wrongdoing, not hiding like these folks are. That alone takes the credibility out of their complaints. As far as I'm concerned, they have no complaints, no problems and their letter didn't even happen. I'm just very sorry that people who tried very hard to help fellow fans got hurt in the process.

Looks like it is going to be a small affair since this is the first one, although the lady organizing it is working hard to see that it expands to two days next year. That will attract more dealers and writers. She's having a hard time getting people to commit because of the first time setting and one day length. Pat Elrod is *definitely* attending and I'm eager to meet her. Anyway, thought I'd pass this on to the list -- if any of you are on horror or vampire lists, could you please pass this information on in case there are Dallas area horror/fantasy fans who might want to come? The more people who attend, the more who will see our FK table, are my thoughts! Info is: HorrorFest '96, April 6th, 10:00 a.m. into the evening, Harvey Hotel, 14315 Midway Road (between Spring Valley and Belt Line in Addison), Dallas, Texas. The organizers are: Con and Dagger Productions, 604 Vernet Street, Richardson, Texas 75080, (214) 669-9932 (voice or fax). $15 at the door. The lady organizing it is Carole Thompson. Also, if anyone knows an area horror/fantasy writer who might want to participate, let me know. Thanks guys, Sherri **Sherri Lynn Godsey, Founding Member SFKS.

My hard drive refuses to acknowledge its own existence and I lost a lot of schoolwork that I have to redo. :( I see that Susan's xover is back. I've always wanted to see that one finished (note: number 358763 on my things to do -- write something for <that> xover...). %) ObFK: "Love you to Death/To Die For" is on ATV tonight (Atlantic provinces, Canada).
