Klew. Very Welsh pronunciation.
If you hear a Welsh speaker pronounce Lloyd or Llewellyn, you'll get it.
The first L becomes sort of Kh--a Bostonian of Welsh descent I know spells
his name Cloyd.
I'll bet libraries have Welsh lullabies or language tapes or something.

What people are forgetting is that while the Aztec priesthood also engaged
in personal bloodletting sacrifice (self-mutilation) and the occasional
ritual suicide, for the most part the people who died on those altars (and
BTW, were subsequently eaten by the priesthood and aristocracy) were
captives taken in wars waged for the purpose. Cortez and the Spaniards could
never have conquered the Aztecs without the enthusiastic backing of the
Aztec Empire's subject peoples. The Aztecs' religion worked for them exactly
the same way antebellum slavery worked for the Southern planter class.

Uh ... not when you're on the receiving end of it, and you didn't volunteer.
Here's a thought experiment for those who, "taking the long view," regard
the Aztecs as just another culture: imagine a revival of their religion in a
powerful, modern nation, fully equipped with the latest in
nuclear/chemical/biological armaments, with a well-trained fanatical army
AND the total Aztec dedication to war as the gods' cafeteria ... looking
hungrily at us.
As you can tell, the Aztecs have been much on my mind this week, thanks to
research for a fanfic (not FK, though, nor the above scenario). To sew this
thread to the "holy objects' effect on vampires" debate: Would the holy
objects of Aztec worship, or the fearsome Thuggee, made holy as they are
through their use in the killing of unwilling victims, repel vampires -- or
(for those of you who think vampires are evil by definition) energize them?
Or have no effect at all? What effect would they have on repentant Nick, or
self-accepting, nonviolent Janette? And what about the "unholy" objects of a
devil-worship cult? (Ah, what would horror fiction be without THOSE?) I
haven't seen "Blackwing," so I'm not sure about those knives that have been
discussed here.

This is a truth one learns upon leaving school and entering the real world.
You come to realize that you have to drop a lot of things you were taught in
order to learn what you need to know to survive.
In FK terms, Nick, the brick, does not know how to know about being human,
because he hasn't figured out how to forget his vampire experience. Whereas
LaCroix, fine tunes his personal wisdom by dropping the old and picking up on
the new. Nick is still a crusader, but LaCroix has given up being a general
and moved on to other things.
Or in everyday terms, if I tried to program my new vcr like I had to program
my old vcr I would never have anything I want on videotape.

Thanks Linda! It makes better sense now. In my all TOO BRIEF stint in
Wales (for college) I remember going to Llandidno (very poor sp!), a
famous tourist town off the North Sea. It took me all Summer to get the
pronunciation right. And, as I recite it from memory, I hear:
--a slight "c",
--"th"s out BOTH(!) sides of my mouth, & then
--the "l" sound start.
Welsh & Wales ARE beautiful, but that is no romance language. Never knew
I could produce such sounds. I'm impressed Geraint pronounced "clue"
in English SO well! How lyrical!

Subject: LAST CALL for CERK shirts!
Hi Everyone,
This is the LAST CALL for CERK shirts. After today, June 25 (hey, 6 months
to Christmas!!), Ron will no longer add on to this order. If people are
still interested in ordering shirts/sweatshirts, your request will go on the
next order. Remember, there is a 25 piece minimum per order. Here is the
list of what was ordered and is still available:
Total ordered: 4 Med (2 sold)
12 Large (some available)
15 XL (6 or so left)
5 2XL (2/3 of these sold)
3 3XL (1/2 of these sold)
2 XL sweats (both of these are taken!!)
Also, Ron has said that she could (next time) order Nightshirts (sleep
shirts!!). They'd sell for $25 post paid because they cost a bit to get
(they are a special order item).
-- Guess who her first customer is going to be??? :)
So put in your orders today - first come, first serve.
And I want to personally thank everyone who has ordered so far -
approximately 35 people! And some of you (and you know who you are) ordered
more than one. One very good samaritan ordered four!
Last, but not least, I want to thank Ron Katz (Ron the Enforcer). Without
you we would not be waiting with impatient glee for our mail carriers.
Thanks Ron!
Waiting for the next round of orders to begin... :)

Subject: Calling all Mid-Atlantic FK fans!
Lynne Levine sent out a post about SHORE LEAVE (the Star Trek con in
July, at the Hunt Valley Marriott) & wondered if FK fen would like to
gather.
If you live in Northern VA, DC, Surburban MD, Baltimore area, Phily, etc.:
Would YOU be interested in meeting other FK fans on the
weekend of 7/12-14?
Lynne & others (local & long distance) are going to be at this con & wonder
if we "more local types" would like to get together. (Just exploring the
possibilities & interest at this point.)
I'm getting the particulars together, so RSVP me (off list) if you're
curious or interested. Shore Leave is a big con for the Mid-Atlantic
area and sounds like a great opportunity to do a little work (and play!)
to save our favorite show!
We can:
--Post flyers and surveys
--Staff a table and get signatures for a petition to SOS-FK (what better
way to tell SONY just how many of us are out here?!!)
**Babylon 5 folks did this at Syndicon-East & they got alot
of names from folks going to a Highlander(& a little FK) con!**
--Reach non-FORKNI folks in a concentrated group
--Show "our colors," badges, buttons, CERK t-shirts, etc! Be seen,
be asked about, be talked about (FK show-wise that is!)
--Meet each other at PERHAPS an FK Room Party during the weekend.
(With VCR? Anyone want to see eps w/other fen? Try out Ger's
Chocolate pizza? etc.)
--HAVE FUN!
Let me know if you're interested. Lynne is officially on vacation for
this trip; but I'm already here & volunteered to check on interest and
availability of folks.
Let us (FK fen) not be the bloom that blossoms at night for no one to
see (ask SONY alleges!). Let's BE SEEN, in the daylight (at a con), and
shown for the 10,00000000s we are!

I think the killing angle _was_ played up well. I'd been wondering if
Nick's desire was only for possessing the person's life (as in Crazy Love)
or if killing itself was pleasurable to him. After thinking about GVP,
and especially after seeing it for the second time, I think Nick does want
to kill, even though he doesn't want to want it.
"Feeding" might have seemed to be a nicer word for it, and that's what Nick
wanted to call it, but I think Nat was right in calling it "killing."

Actually I think the term "Homo Superior" was coined by Magneto and I've
never heard it used by anyone else. I've always thought the term was
kind of pompus. As for whether or not vampires are homo sapiens,
physiologically all the organs are present. If you put a vampire onto
the table side by side with a regular human, I don't think a medical
examiner can tell the difference between them.
Vegans are predators whose prey are vegetables! :)
Now on a side note... how many of you are old enough to remember the
Vegetable Vampire? If you do recall this, can you name the actor who
played the role? If you can remember post it and if you are correct,

Subject: Re: Schanke
I was recently re-watching my first and second season eps, and I was very
glad to see someone bring up old Don. I'm not really a FoD either, but I
like Don a lot, and I think he contributed so much that was fun to first and
second season, the *much needed* comic relief.
Stephanie mentioned Stranger than Fiction, also one of my favorite eps,
mostly because the actors seemed to be having so much fun with it. The
scene where Schanke imagines himself as LaSalle/LaCroix is of course
classic. Another great Schanke scene in that ep goes (I'm quoting from
memory here):
Don: (who's been reading Emily Weiss' book) And they could hypnotize their
victims, too, did you know that? Can you imagine hypnotizing a woman to get
her to do anything you wanted?
Nick: Yeah, but that would be cheating.
Don: Oh, yeah, like you wouldn't.
The comedy was really pretty well done. I liked that the show didn't take
itself too seriously, and you can also tell that a cast really likes each
other when they are able to make fun of themselves a little bit like this,
while still staying in character. It's pretty rare when a mostly-serious
show is able to take off and be a little silly without ruining the chemistry
that makes it great. Classic Star Trek could do this.
Third season was way too serious, IMO. The only brief bits of comic relief
were provided by Screed (when you could understand him) and an occasional
look on Vachon's face when Tracy got too close to finding out the truth
about Nick. I really miss Don!

Hey I started *out* as a N&Npacker! This was back during the 2nd season.
But rather quickly, by the end of the 2nd season, I became convinced that
though Nick might love Nat on some level he just don't love her as much as
she loves him. I like Nat too much to put her through an eternity of
longing for a man who can't return her love to the fullest! ;)

posts!! I have yet to see any of my posts drop. Ranting over.
Secondly, and the real reason I'm sending this, is the fact that I had to set
some priorities regarding the time needed in sending out flyers and doing my
job (at work). After much soul searching (all but 2 seconds, one of those
seconds being why was I even wasting one second on this) I decided there was
only one answer. A little hooky is good for the soul. So I took a half day
from work and went on a flyer run. I went to four stores (Strawberries,
Newbury Comics, Sam Goody, and The Wall). All four stores still don't have
the CD and are not able to special order it because it's not in their books.
Isn't the CD supposed to be in stores by June? Or has the date been pushed
back? And all four of the stores had no idea that there was a FK CD or what
FK was. Three of the four stores allowed me to post my flyers (Sam Goody has
a no flyer policy, but I got the guy to keep a flyer anyways :) )
I was feeling alone in the FK universe, so I eased my pain the only way I
could in a very large mall (Natick Mall) - I bought! I bought the two newest
books relating to X-Files and Star Trek. I can't wait until I can purchase
FK books!!
If anyone goes to The Wall in the Natick Mall (Mass.) or visits Newbury
Comics or Strawberries on Rte 9 in Framingham/Natick, let me know if you see
the flyers. Hopefully, they won't be torn down any time soon.
I've begun sending flyers in with my bills. I just bought a new color
printer which I used to print out the flyers. The flyer I did for the FK CD
uses the CD front cover. I sent this and the SOS flyer along with my new
printers registration card. Well, at least HP can see the good job their
printer did in printing out color graphics.
I think that's all for now.

Subject: Idea: Toronto by Knight MUSH?
Well, here I was mourning Forever Knight, and explaining to several
people on Dark Gift MUSH what it was, etc, etc. Dark Gift is a MUSH
using the World of Darkness, Vampire: The Masquerade system by White Wolf...
Then it hit me... Toronto by Knight! A virtual Toronto...but, a Toronto
with vampires, Forever Knight vampires! Half the insperation from this was
seeing Babylon 5 MUSH acctually go up. If they can do it, why can't we?
We'll have even more room to play in, seeing as we don't have such a tightly
constricted plot. Of course, not everyone could be one of the main
characters, but I think there are enough people who like Forever Knight not
only because of the characters(although that's a huge reason) but because
of it's paticular mood, and it's very special brand of vampires. =) There
are tons of Vampire MUSHes out there, but they all use the Storyteller
system. Maybe it's time for a new breed of vampires on the 'net... ;)
Hey, you never know, seeing as some of the actors from the series
DO stop by the net once in awhile, it might even be possible to bait them
into coming on to such a MUSH every once in awhile to play their own
characters. ;)
Oh, if anyone feels the need to respond to this, punch it over to
me via e-mail as well as over the list. I've had trouble keeping up with
the lists lately... =(
In case anyone is wondering(and I'm sure there are those who are):
A Mush is a 'Multi-User Shared Hullicination'. Basiclly, sorta like a
chat network set up on the internet. It's more complex, as you have
virtual objects, rooms, etc, and you can move around in the textual
enviroment. A LOT like the old text adventure games. =) Another element
of many of them is you don't just 'chat', your virtual persona becomes a
entirly new character, and you play that character out in a virtual
'world'. A lot like acting, 'cept your typing and you don't have a
script. ;)
Vampire: The Masquerade is a role-playing game by White Wolf game
studios. It's a game about vampires. Basiclly, each player takes the
role of one of the undead in 'The World of Darkness'(our world, but
Vampires, Werewolves, Mages, etc, exist), and one other player, the
Storyteller, presents the world to them by describing it to them. The
players interact with the characters created and presented by the
Storyteller, and it's acctually a lot like...well, interactive
storytelling. =)

Subject: Re: FK at DragonCon '96
Greetings to all!! She says as she climbs out of lurkerdom..
And to those who attended DragonCon.. WAHH!!! I wish I had known you
were going to be here. I was there all four days. Someone I talked to
(from the HIGHLA-L list I think) mentioned seeing Ron the Enforcer, but
I missed seeing you all. sigh...
Ron said:

I found some wonderful buttons, my favorite being, "Lacroix for President, this
time let's put a real bloodd sucker in charge" Yes, there were photos galore,
and buttons and bumper stickers. I have the addresses for the button places
somewhere in this mess. And as soon as I find them, I'll post them.
Ron said of Atlanta:

Thank you for the wonderful compliments!! I am a native of Atlanta, and
we are trying bery hard to be ready in July. If anyone is coming for the
Olympics, **please** send me private email. Maybe we can get together
sometime while you are here. Or come by the art exhibit at the Woodruff
Library, that's where I am working.

I saw a couple of booths with the CD. Sadly I couldn't get it, due to
purchasing a Highlander Quickening card at the Charity Auction.
And I also noted it was selling fast. (the CD, not the card <grin>)
I'd like to suggest that we also write the organizers of DragonCon
and see if we can encourage more Forever Knight and Highlander
programming next year. I was disappointed by the total lack of
FK and HL programming (okay so Bill Panzer was there, but that was it)
