Sorry Allison--my goof. However, do you really think there are less than 100
GWD fans who didn't get a chance to go last year and won't go this year?

By the by, I just wanted those working on the Gerthering to know I didn't
mean my error as a slam to you (only those who didn't go last time could go
this time) I thought that was a perfectly fair idea either way, and limiting
it to 100 is a real good idea too.  I can remember working on those very
first ST conventions back in the 70's when only a few people were expected
and suddenly thousands came crashing thru those doors....not a pretty sight!!

Also, I think the price for this is really, really inexpensive.  The only
thing that'll cost is getting there.  Have you seen how expensive
conventions are these days?? And to think it's all going to a good cause.....

Now, I don't wanna think about it anymore coz  can't go and I don't look
good with my thumb in my mouth....

Most definitely.  Remeber all, be polite.  Hey, when "Robin Hood: Prince of
Thieves" was out and a reviewer praised it's "originality" I got a letter
published pointing out that everything they were praising was originated
in Robin of Sherwood.  ("They don't call it 'Prince of Theives' for
nothing.")

I recommend keeping track of the reviews and feature stories and using them
as an excuse to write to media outlets about FK ...

     Mea culpa.  I'm afraid that I wasn't able to decipher that Screed
was a carouche when I saw "Blind Faith".  It seems that I will have to
get a new working theory.  (For what it's worth, I like Screed too.)
     But if Screed *is* a carouche, why did they bother shrouding the
carouche that brought Perry across in all this mystery?  Are there levels
of carouche, depending on the animal on which one chooses to feed?

Subject:      Re: apologies to everyone

Dear Diane, no apologies needed, but as a Cherokee, I thought I'd set the
record straight on Indian giving.

Native Americans are proud to be Indian Givers and only whites place a nasty
connotation on the term.  If a Native American (I ain't from India or the
West Indies) had 2 knives and someone needed one, it was his to use until
the first person needed the other knife back.  He would then get his knife
back. Whites who saw this behavior thought it was rude to take back
something that was given to them in the first place, and not attempting to
understand the Native American culture, coined the phrase "Indian giver" .
Likewise, if a Native American saw that someone had 2 or more of something
that they didn't need, they might just take the excess one, which whites
viewed as stealing, although the NA would have given it back if he'd only
been asked.

This is my history lesson for the day.  It is an obligation on my part to
set the record straight when I can especially as my Cherokee name means
beautiful teacher and I am in fact a teacher.

Subject:      Who am I?

I usually don't do intros on lists I subscribe to, at least when I have a good
working knowledge of the subject.  However, being a --yuck--"newbie" to the
Forever Knight show (I stumbled upon it one night when I had insomnia: then it
didn't come on the next Knight (ha-ha) so I assumed it was a fluke until I
discovered its regularly scheduled time) I figured I'd introduce myself.  I did
some research on the web and found out that there are the "Knighties" and the
"Cousins" on this list.  I don't know what to say.  I think Lacroix is by far
the coolest character on the show, with his dark cynicisms and deep witicisms
he appeals to the nihilistic philosopher in me.  Yet I identify with Nicholas'
angst--his struggle between good and evil and his attempt to save his soul from
eternal damnation.  (I find it interesting that Nicholas believes works rather
than faith will be his salvation).In any case, Nicholas is cute; Lecroix is
sexy.  To compare the two seems a diservice to both.  So at this point, I
cannot call myself by either name; perhaps  cousin-in-law or a friend of the
Knight.  Is there even a group for me?  Perhaps a knightly cousin.
In any case, here I am.

thought to do a FOREVER KNIGHT - WAR OF THE WORLDS crossover story. I had
this image last night of Natalie facing Mana. Truly frightening. However,
as finals are lurking around the corner (and the fact that I have yet to
see the second season of WoTW [first season is currently running on the
Canadian SHOWCASE channel], I don't really have the time to write it now.

How about Nicholas and Lecroix meet Louis and Lestat from Interview with the
Vampire (if you haven't read the book by Anne Rice, the parallels are
uncanny, minus the homoeroticism in Interview).  Lestat and Lecroix become
the "friendliness of enemies" while battling occasionally the narcisstic
Armand.  Louis and Nicholas become friends, the whole time Nicholas never
realizing that Louis has more than just friendship feelings for him.  The
reader discovers that the vampires from the theater were never really killed,
and in fact, have united with those from The Raven and are seeking to destroy
Lestat and Louis for their treachery (they use Nicholas as bait but he is
rescued by non other than Lecroix, who seems to get Nicholas out of some pretty
tight situations).

Nah, it can only get worse. I broke down and cried when Compuserve screwed
me out of two days of the lists.  I've come to think of all these people as
friends, friends who understand the really nutty side of me. The side that
doesn't have to put on a pretense as the mature mom at PTA meetings, at
jobs, etc. As close as my hubby and I are - there still are crazies you
can't sit and talk with your hubby about.  So, two days without these people
made me nuts.

I was (and still am) like this about Blake's 7 but the support system for
that one died a nasty death and the only thing I really got out of that one
is an on-going relationship with one of the cast members (mind out of the
gutters gang, we're friends only) which I definitely cherish but I have a
bad taste in my mouth re fandom because of that.  This is the first and only
time since then that I have become SO involved with people again regarding
any kind of fandom and it is really refreshing. Gosh, I love you guys.....

Welcome to the FORKNI list, Linda.  :-)

It should be noted upon joining these lists that any "real life" you might
retain outside said lists is purely coincidental.

Don't lose your job; it might impede your access to e-mail.  There are lots
of convincing strategies you can use to convince people that you are in
fact working.  The Windows computing environment is particularly useful for
this; if you are quick enough, you can hide your e-mail window behind a
"legitimate" application.  Alternately, if you save your e-mail to floppy
disk in ASCII text format (the .txt extension) you can probably read it at
home using a cheap ($200-300) word processor.  (This all presumes, of
course, that your computer access is solely at work.)

The only thing to do about your friends is... convert them.  Then they will
no longer be annoyed.  If showing them videotapes doesn't do it, simply
pour Ribena down their throats until the pure massive power of the sugar
rush takes over their brains.

Dreams with FK characters in them can become interesting fiction, if edited
properly.

In conclusion:  If by "getting better", you mean, does it go away... no, it
doesn't.  Just relax and enjoy the ride.

     Hello all,

     I've been lurking around for a couple of weeks and thought it was time
     to make my presence known (or at least to ask some questions).

     First two questions are about GWD.  I've seen him in all sorts of
     things, but have never once heard his name said aloud.  How is it
     pronounced?  Also, does anyone know of any store chains that carry
     Hauntings or Forebodings?  I'd love to get a copy (oh, that voice...).

     On to the pleas:  I have the second and third seasons taped, but am
     missing the first season eps.  If anyone would be willing to get me
     copies of them (please, please, please) I would be ever so grateful!

     Last but not least, YKYBWTMFK when you're driving down the highway and
     hear a song called "I Wanna Come Over" and your first reaction is
     amazement that someone actually wrote a song about wanting to be
     brought across.  It gets better--I didn't catch all the lyrics, but
     some of the lines include:

     "Not worried (thinking?) about the consequence,
     I wanna come over,
     It's a need I can't explain
     I wanna come over"

Subject:      System Crash

I had a system crash between this morning.  It's all right, no fiction was
lost, but I had a bunch of incoming mail that got mushed and swallowed by
the aether.  If you sent me any messages between 10:00 AM this morning and
noon, please resend.  Or simply assume that if you don't get a reply to
something sent to me from last evening through this morning that I'm not
ignoring you.

I repeat--no fiction was lost.  The situation is not critical.

Although I have been scared spitless into backing up NOW.

OBFK--I loved "Temper, Temper."  I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me,
it was better than Cats.  How many hockey related stories have we had now?

Subject:      We carry the torch, of sorts

What fascinates me is that we, the fans, with our analyses, extrapolations,
and fanfic, are adding depth and details to the vampire legends much the way
storytellers have always explained and embellished. We have taken up and we
further the legend, even if we regard it all as fiction.

Vampire films, books, comic books, and tv scripts, as well as our
discussions of mirror reflections, blood types, and cures, incorporate
modern technology and concerns into the legends, further rationalizing and
controlling the story and the fears it evokes.

The fact that we are having fun with it does not diminish our contribution
to the body of tradition.

I second the motion! (Sorry guys, I spent Saturday doing politics.)

Anyway, as a fan of both Forever Knight and Dark Shadows, that bit about the
new show (which shall be nameless) being a cross between the other two
struck me as so close to meaningless that I tend to think that the reviewer
was just picking names he knew, and names he thought other people would
recognize. And that is good! It means we're getting somewhere! Don't give
up now! (Just a figure of speech; I know no one's planning on giving up.)

Subject:      NoVA and Questions

Are there any 'Fork Nigh Ell' people in Northern Virginia who are interested
in getting together for "Last Knight"???  I know FK has been changed to
Friday early am but, I am sure they will change the time again.  I missed
the last VA party (and am very sorry about that).

I would also like to receive the information on how to change the Windows
Startup Logo to FK.

Okay, here is my question.  Does Nick really want to become human or does he
no longer want to be a vampire?  I think Nick enjoys all the 'perks' of
being a vamp.  He and Nat talk about giving up blood but, they do not talk
about giving up flying or hypnotizing.   It sounds like he wants all the
good stuff about being a vamp without the (gotta use it) angst.  He wants
the powers without having to take lives or run from the sun.  Does he want
to become human and have to re-learn how to live as one or does he just want
to alleviate his guilt?

personal note:
Jess, are you out there???  I miss my FK buddy!

     Right you are!  "Malinky droog" comes from the Russian for "little
friend."  If you want the actual Cyrillic spelling instead of the
transliteration for English speakers, e-mail me and I'll try my best at
using characters drawn with ASCII symbols.
     (Another word I've heard Screed use is "gulova," accent on the
third syllable, which means "head."  I don't know if it's useful or not,
but there it is.)

Yes, yes I've gotten pages full of how bad I am.  Infact, I'm terrible,
but I needed a good cackle -it's been an awful week.

As for Uncle "coming for me", well -let him come!  Bring it on, I think I

I don't mean to nit-pick, but I did NOT get into the show because I liked
vampires; actually, I got into it despite NOT liking vampires. I watched it
off and on 1st ssn ('cause I refused to watch the talk shows after Dennis
Miller was cancelled), but I _refused_ to get into it precisely because it
_was_ about vampires.  I started watching again about midway through 2nd
ssn (around "The Fix") after reading a DOW quote list on the DS list, and
got hooked on the concept of a vampire searching for redemption/mortality;
since then, I've come to feel a vampire isn't inherently evil but can
choose good or evil just like a mortal human can.  The point I'm trying to
make is:  don't assume only people who "love" vampires will like FK!!
