An IRC war and no one told me? How rude!!! :) But honest folks, there is no war
going on between the Forever
Knight channels on EFNet and Undrenet. No war, no border skirmish not even a
police action! The only thing
going on is more opportunity for us all to meet, gather and make new friends
:)
I've met some great people on
IRC, people I have become very close to, and I'm sure there are a whole lot
more of you out there. Everyone is
always welcome, so come join us on the channel of your choice, or all of them.
The more the merrier!

Robert Jordan-
Even though three seasons were originally planned, they just couldn't
wrap things up by LK.
The good news is that there will be two more seasons.
The bad news is that the writers are getting really swamped, and the new
eps will be produced in 1998 and 2001.
Nick would end up married to both Janette and Natalie.
Vachon starts talking with the wolves at the Toronto zoo. Tracy wonders
why his eyes are yellow all the time.

Just for the record, Gary is an aberration of Gerald, which is not really
related to Geraint, but you know how us presumptious Americans like to
anglicize everything.
Geraint is Teutonic in orgin, meaning "of unerring spear." (Hey, Dotti! No
giggling!) Tennyson wrote of Geraint the Brave, a member of King Arthur's
court. Well, guess choosing Ger to play a crusader wasn't too far off-base,
eh?
Oh, will the lone RatPacker please e-mail me off list, thanks!
ObFK -- if FK were written by.... the folks who did "Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern are Dead."
Vachon and Tracy would be in every scene and they would wander around trying
to figure out why their friend Nick was so angsty.
We would only hear other character's conversations if Vachon and/or Tracy
are present. Tracy will try really hard to figure out the plot to that
week's episode, while Vachon will stumble across cures for vampirism without
realizing their profound significance. The series will finally end (after 6
long, fascinating seasons) with LaCroix packing up his marionette show and
driving off.

Subject: Re: if someone else wrote FK
If Bernard Cornwell (the Richard Sharpe adventures) wrote FK:
Nick would be an officer in the British Army during the Peninsular War who,
with his small group of vampire soldiers--Screed the cockney private, Vachon,
the Spanish guerilla and a group of unnamed expendable vamps who are there to
get killed when convenient--serve the Duke of Wellington as an elite strike
force against the French which only operates at night. The duke knows they're
vamps, but he doesn't care, as long as they help his underpaid and undermanned
army win. Schanke is the duke's liason with Nick's group. He is in the King's
German Legion, a cavalry unit, and as all of Cornwell's readers know, of the
two, the cavalryman's horse has the brains, so Schanke doesn't think it at all
unusual that the small group doesn't carry any rations and can travel extremely
fast in the rough Spanish and Portuguese terrain.
Lacroix is the thoroughly amoral Frenchman who has the Emperor's ear and is in
charge of espionage and nefarious plans to win the war. Nick outsmarted him
once and he is now out for revenge any way he can get it. Natalie is the
dashing and brave leader of a band of Spanish guerillas who carry out the
"little war" and who falls in love with the brave, romantic yet somehow tragic
Nick. She and her band of guerillas help Nick's group in their attacks. Janette
is the beautiful, dangerous and glamorous mistress of a high-ranking French
officer who has secret trysts with Nick (Janette, not the Frenchman!) and tries
to get his secrets from him. Nick, of course, is using her for the same purpose.
Throughout the stories we would learn everything there is to know about 18th
century military tactics, the advantages of using the musket line against the
column formation, what battles smell, feel and taste like, and the exact sound
that a sword makes when someone is skewered. We would also learn how to delouse
unwashed uniforms and how to amputate limbs. Fortunately for Screed, there is
an unlimited supply of rats.

Subject: A New Top Ten
We are all a little depressed around here right now, and I know nothing
cheers me up like a good Top Ten List. But, until I can find one, this
will have to do.
The Top Ten Reasons that Forever Knight is Better than Sex:
10. If you count commercials, FK always last at least an hour.
9. You can watch FK all by yourself, without having to worry about
feeling guilty afterwards.
8. You can share FK with a close friend, without destroying the
friendship. Unless, of course, your friend makes some kind of comment
like, "I just don't get this show."
7. If you have pre-recorded tapes, you can watch FK all night long.
6. You never have to fake your enjoyment of FK.
5. You don't have to worry that your friends are watching more FK than
you are. (Your friends have probably never even heard of it.)
4. If you make it a habit to start conversations with complete
strangers about how much you enjoy FK, you might get more fans for the
show. If you make it a habit to start conversations with complete
strangers about how much you enjoy sex you might get....arrested.
3. If you spend a lot of your time thinking about FK; discussing FK;
dreaming about FK; and writing stories about FK, then you are probably
just a very, dedicated fan. If you spend a lot of your time thinking
about sex; discussing sex; dreaming about sex; and writing stories
about sex, then you're probably just a pervert.
2. You can always find someone on the internet willing to talk with
you about FK. Oh wait, that's one thing FK has in common with sex.
And the Number One Reason that Forever Knight is Better than Sex:
If you're watching a pre-recorded FK tape, you can hit the pause button
in the middle of it; go to the bathroom; put out the dog; and make
yourself a snack. Then you can come back, hit play and resume watching
it, right where you left off. Now, just try that during sex, and see
what happens.
There's always one house in the neighborhood
where all the kids hang out, and that's because
that Mom has Ribena.

You know you've been watching way too much FK and reading too much fanfic
when:
1. You see a newspaper jumpline that says "ANGST from page 1" and you
immediately think "Why is the Star Trib running an article on Nick?" only
to turn to page 1 and find the article is about Anxiety in the Arts.
2. You are reading Bernard Cornwell's new novel "The Winter King" and find
a character named Prince Gereint who is described as being, well, a brick
(not in those words, of course) and knowing that he should be played in the
movie by someone else we know who has played a character that is somewhat
bricklike.

From: Dann Lunsford <dann@g.......>
Subject: Re: Why Do YOU Watch FK?
I was brought across in third season, and I've seen none of the earlier
episodes (That's one for the SCI-FI channel, at least). I was bored (a
*very* dangerous feeling, people, let me warn you. The Universe just
loves to find interesting things to do to people who declare themselves
'bored.'), so I turned on the idiot box. I *happened* (remember, I had
just used the "B" word) to flip right into the "he was brought across..."
of Black Buddha. The music and Nigel Bennett's *voice* grabbed me (Mr.
Bennett, If you read this, YOU ARE FANTASTIC!) and wouldn't let go.
Anyway, I picked up on the premise pretty quickly (I've been a fan of
"good guy" vampires for quite a while), but I'd never seen anything
to even approach this. Witty, *inteligent* dialog, a protagonist with
a QUEST rivaling that of the Holy Grail, a gorgeous *INTELLIGENT* woman
to help him in that quest (the romantic side of that was great, too.),
and a really *creepy* guy who came out with some of the best monologues
I've ever heard. It took me a while to deduce the relationship of
the Nightcrawler and Nick, though.
I've been hooked ever since, I haven't seen TV this good since the
Twilight Zone. The character interplay, the characters themselves
(Yes, even Tracy. I *know* people like Tracy.), the emphasis on the
choices between good and evil, all of this and more meld into something
that speaks to the humanity in us, makes us ask ourselves some of *those*
questions, the ones that can keep you awake for nights on end.
*This* is why I watch Forever Knight: Because it enriches me.

I just had to add this one.
If Forever Knight were written by my four year old daughter:
Nick and Natalie would get married, have lots of kids, and live happily
ever after.
Schanke would still be alive. (She doesn't even know he's not. No
Black Buddha tapes allowed in my home.)
Janette would never come back. (Sorry Ravenettes)
Tracy would still be Tracy.
And LaCroix would be a Polar Bear. Now, I know that doesn't make much
sense, but my daughter always says that he reminds her of a Polar Bear.
(Maybe it's his white hair in the first season.)

Yes! I'd like to add....
They'd travel in a vintage green caddy that was bigger on the inside
than the outside (especially in the trunk.) At some point, Nat would
leave this "CAR-DIS" to become a pathologist on some backward
planet...Nick would be recalled to the vampire homeworld, where he
would be assigned a new companion, the haughty-but-oh-so-stylish
vampire time lady, Jeanette. She, of course, would have a much
better handle on this vampire thing than he did--and would ALWAYS rub
it in. When she left, he would pick up Urs and Vachon as companions,
probably from some alien bar. (Though Vachon would probably look
more like Jason Carter from B-5, costume and all.) At some point,
Screed would come on board as a "is he really good or is he bad?"
companion...
They'd always get lost and never end up on the planet or in the time
they wanted to go to, because of Nick's tendency to flashback at the
controls...And 75% of the places they set down would look like
English rock quaries.
Eventually, seven years after it's cancellation, the show would be
resuscitated on FOX...and THIS time Nat and Nick would get to
kiss...(and would, of course, meet in a morgue.) We would also find
out that Nick is actually only a half-vamp.
> From time to time they would run into LaCroix, an evil time lord-vampire.
Yes! Dressed all in black (of course) but with a cool beard and an
I-just tied-the-heroine-to-the-train-tracks evil, melodramatic laugh.
He'd plot to turn everyone in the galaxy into cousins. (You mean

COULD be Davros, but he would only strike fear into the hearts of
rats and similar small scruffy critters...like tribbles.)
I could go on...but I'm starting to get this horrid image in my mind
as Tom Baker as Nick Knight....AGGGH. (Much as I loved the 4th
Doctor.)
(Sorry this is long...glad my master's thesis on Doctor Who finally
came in handy for SOMETHING.) No, I'm *not* kidding.

Bonnie,
You can write to TriStar Television Music Dept. in CULVER CITY, CA. and
address inquiries to Laura Levinsky and Bob Hunka.
They might be able to get the ball rolling on sheet music..However, outside
of DARK SIDE OF THE GLASS, the songs that you hear on FK are not the property
of TriStar and are owned by the company that licenses them to the show.
The songs are unlikely candidates for sheet music, but feel free to write
letters re: theme and background score..
thanks again
Fred

Subject: Re: If someone else wrote FK
This is from Celeste, who's hanging out with me:
If Jean Shepherd wrote FK:
The entire show would be told in flashbacks with a voiceover by Nick.
The flashbacks would be humorous tales of Nick's youth, about how he
learned a lesson that helped him to become a better, more complete
adult...
Naaaaah.
If Douglas Adams wrote FK:
Nick would be a vampire, but a vampire alien from a planet of vampires,
who was hitchhiking whilst researching a book, The Vampire's Handbook
to the Galaxy, and somehow got stuck on Earth. Natalie would get
picked up by him while lying in front of the Morgue, trying to prevent
The Toronto Highway Board from knocking it down to build a bypass. The
Earth would then be destroyed by the Vogons, who are building an
inter-stellar bypass through the solar system. Nick & Nat would then
get picked up by The Starship Heart of Blood, manned by the
ex-President of the Galaxy, LaCroix, and the chick he picked up at a
party in Boulton about a thousand years ago, Janette.
BTW, when Nick flew? He'd hang in the air exactly the way that bricks
don't.

Subject: JADFE Misconstruction
I've been told that what I said yesterday could be construed as meaning
that Nigel had had a JADFE subscription at some time, or that he was
regularly receiving copies of some of it.
This is not, as far as I know, true. What I remember him saying in a
panel at some point was something about having seen some of it, meaning,
I thought, a few scattered items.
I'm sorry for any misunderstanding or embarrassment. Such was never my
intention.

Subject: Good Guys Wear Fangs 3 coming for Media West! / Party Fri Nite!
Available from Bill Hupe at Media West Con! (or by mail from Bill after the
con)
I'll post a more detailed flyer closer to the con, but this one is heavily
FOREVER KNIGHT and NICK KNIGHT, including a number of crossovers, and a
chilling alternate tale about Janette's origins written by Valerie Meachum
way back in 1992 that eerily parallels the aired version, even though it
takes place in ancient Rome rather than the Middle Ages, and was written
prior to the aired version being seen. It also has a heavily FK script and a
number of shorter stories that I think all of you will enjoy.
Other fandoms include Miami Vice (2 longish stories), Wiseguy, Starsky &
Hutch (long story), X-Files, Highlander, and Star Trek: TNG. I may have a
KINDRED story if it makes it to me through the Canadian post in time. <g>
And getting back to Forever Knight, there is a nice mix of Tracy & Vachon
stories, and more traditional tales about Nick and Natalie and LaCroix.
*Lovely* color cover of Michael Praed as he appeared in To Die For 2: Son of
Darkness by Christine Haire. - Michael fans will love seeing him with a rose
in his teeth! (I had planned for the next in the series of Janet Reedman's
lovely Son of Darkness / Robin of Sherwood crossover novellas to appear this
time, but the post to Europe has delayed that one until Volume 4. - an
earlier installment in this series won the Fan Q for "Best Robin of Sherwood
Long Story."
Price is as yet unset, but it will likely range around $23; final pagecount
is unavailable as yet, but I'm estimating around 300 pages.
And I almost forgot! There will be a Good Guys Wear Fangs party, 10-12 P.M.
Friday night, in the Media West Party Suite. Come on by!

Subject: The name Geraint
There must be a separate teutonic name that means "straight spear,"
with the "ger/gar" element that means spear. However, as a Welsh name,
Geraint is a form of the Latin Gerontius and first appears in Welsh
legends in a Roman context. Because the name appears in Tennyson's
Idylls of the King, it was briefly fashionable in Victorian England,
pronounced as if it were French. (!) It became common in modern Welsh
with the revival of Welsh nationalism and Welsh culture around 1900.
Incidentally, while it's quite true that Gary is often a short form of
Gerald, the fashion for the name came from the actor Gary Cooper. In his
case, the name was suggested by his agent, who was a native of Gary,
Indiana. The city is named for a man whose surname was Gary.

Subject: LK parties tonight: IRC address
I hope enough of you get this in time. I would have posted it earlier,
but work and plotting my party and the V:tM I'm playing in next week has
really bogged me down. Well, the LK party caht IRC address will be
#LKparty18. Just join the channel. If I'm not already there, I'll show up
eventually (as Tulsa). If you're having a party, please use the name of
your city as nickname; if you're just on to see what's happening, most
likely your listname would be best. I'll try to be on by 8:15 CST, although
it could be as late as nine. The channel will stay on as long as there are
people willing to stay on (I should be there until at least two, with a lull
between 12:30 and 1:40, due to Last Knight). Looking forward to seeing as
many of you there as possible.
Also, I would like to announce my next FK party, date tentative. It's
for the first episode of the fourth season. My place, more than likely
still Tulsa, and we WIIL have more Ribena (and, in the 4th-season ep case,
champagne or the like). Shall talk to you all later, must sleep now. I
wouldn't want to crash at my own party, now, would I?...
