Subject: **WOOHOOOO** Music Video Finally Working :>)
Thank you Valerie and Stephanie,
I have finally managed to open the video with Quick Time using the URL
<A HREF="http://www.nimr.org/valerie/onceuponadream.mov">http://www.nimr.org/v
alerie/onceuponadream.mov</A>
WOW, only about 1/3 of it has downloaded so far, and I have been able to
watch that much, let me just say *********BRAVO********* great job, well
__done__
I agree it is definitely worth the wait and I haven't even seen the whole
thing yet. The music is **perfect** as are the screen captures. I stand
truly impressed!
Now, if only I can wait until those other sites will let me download and are
not past their limit, maybe I can save it to hard drive for all time like I
want to!!
Many thanks for this, and for the great advice off-list
Forever Yours,
Billie-Lee

Billie,
You can download it from the http://www.nimr.org site. There is no limit to that
site at all. What you can do is go to http://www.nimr.org/valerie/ Then you
will see the file there. Right click on it and choose save file.. Of course it
will take a while but as you found out it is definitely worth it.

Subject: Update!
</slacking>
Just wanted everyone to know that La Pagina De La Bibleoteca De La
Vaqmadre was just updated. *finally*
This time I have new fiction from KC, Vaquero and Nunkies Anonymous
posts from War 8, and a guide to my Forever Knight/X-Men Crossover to
help people who want to read it, but just don't get it.
If you enjoy this page, and want to show your gratitude, just stuff KC
into a clown suit, paint Vachon is not greasy onto her forehead and mail
her to me.

Subject: List Hist Part II, DP fic, and Replies
The Questioner Strikes Again:
When were the reruns canceled?
Who owns/produces FK? Sony/Tristar?
What is one of the charities benefitted by an auction? I'm thinking of the
Pediatric AIDS Foundation, but I'm not sure....
I may not use all this info (it isn't supposed to be a *research* paper, per
se, but it's FK, so I'm going overboard ;)) but I really appreciate those
who have sent me answers to my questions!
Sorry to all whom I have not replied to yet... my browser has been cursed
and I am not sure to whom I have replied and who didn't get the message....
Due to an illness in the family and the restart of classes, the Dark Perk
fic will be very delayed... thanks all for volunteering and being so
patient!!!!

Happy Conversion Week, everybody!!!!

Subject: Ay Carumba!!
Another question packet!!!
Honestly, this is awesome... I thought I would have no time to post to
FORKNI-L, and here I have an excellent justification.... ;)
How many months was it between the end of 1st season and the start of 2nd?
FK was canceled again in 1996, right?

Subject: Sarah Baker, fanfic author
Does anyone have a current or recent address for FK fanfic author Sarah
Baker? The only one I can find -- <zeke@rt66.com> -- bounces. I'd like to
contact her about her intriguing story "The Tapestry," which is the second
of the two stories listmembers kindly identified for me last week, the one
in which items which once belonged to Fleur appear in a Toronto
museum. The first of the two stories, of course, was Nancy Kaminski's
excellent "Deja Vu." Many thanks to those who identified them!
(Please send or copy any answers to me off-list.)
Thank you very much!

And that description of Titus does not match at all with the
behavior Lucius displayed in the flashback prior to the eruption. <g>
I'm thinking of the blinded artist and partying etc. at the home of
a prostitute.
Of course if Mclisa's description HAD fit Lucius's prior character,
it would say something about the effects (negative ones) of becoming
a vampire on one's character and/or add to the argument that Lacroix
is a *survivor* who adapts his behavior according to the circumstances
in which he finds himself.

From: Night Angel <n9qqq@j.......>
Subject: Fic question
Greetings!
A question, or rather a challenge to all of you. Is there an episode in FK where
Natalie tells how low Nick's body temperature is? For example: does she
actually list is as specific temperature or as "how many degrees below
a human normal"?
If you can, I'd like the number, or the general figure if there is one.
Reply off list to me! This is for a sequel of Eternity in an Endless Night,
which some of you have already unintentionally received a preview of. <G>
Thanks again!

I don't remember if Nat gives his normal temp but I believe she gives
his 'FEVER' temperature in that episode.

Subject: This Weeks *Fangs Project* update
Hello Everyone :)
With permission From Lisa, (thanks much!) I am updating you all once a week
on the progress of this latest KtK project.
While we have gotten many to send in e-mails for this,(and we truly
appreciate those of you that have responded so far),We would love to have
lots and lots more!! more than we can count! more than TPTB can count!
Halloween isn't all that far off :),so Anytime your

For those of you unfamiliar with the project, here is the info:
This Halloween, "Kickstart The Knight" will be doing something special to
Encourage *The Powers That Be* to provide us all with not only a return of
the reruns to the Schedule, but renew it as a series with the original cast,
and or return it as a series of made for TV movies, and merchandise.
We have purchased Vampire Fangs,in an assortment of neon colors.
From now through October 22nd, we are asking each and every Forever Knight fan
to please send an e-mail asking for the above.
It can be a simple e-mail asking for FK's return, or filled with as much as
you would like.
The e-mails you send me should be like the ones you have been sending
feedback during the blitz's. or snail mail letters, By now, you all know we
want more FK,the original cast, merchandise, etc.and if you like, you can
make it Halloween oriented :)
Thats what to put in, then send to me :0
i will in turn will print out and attach your mail to a set of fangs, and send
it to Tristar/Columbia and the Sci-fi Channel in coffin shaped boxes!
Remember!! We can't do this without you guys!!
Lets make sure that this Halloween is the one where we finally get what we
want!
So come-on and join in on the fun! and Help the cause! Lets make sure we
let them all know that we want Nick and Company to take another bite out of
crime!!!

And always remember how important it is to also send snail mail to TPTB
also,Rae tells me that the snail mail count is next to nothing!! Lets not
allow TPTB think we dont care!!
when you do write a letter, send a message to Rae telling her how many you
wrote, what if any faction you would like the credited to, and send the
e-mail to: Javiette@a.......

Is FK a tele movie yet?

Once again with an unrelated (to the current discussion) question.
Exactly how old is Vachon (as exactly as we know)?
Also, can Jean Graham contact me, or someone pass on her email addy?

Subject: can't help but wonder...
I'm reading a trashy romance novel... one that I bought last year, and I can't
help but wonder if the author is a fan of both Garth Brooks and FK.
The main male character's name is Lucien LeDeux...
Lucien... well, no explanation needed.
LeDeux... GB is a huge fan of Chris LeDeux, who was more of a rodeo-circuit
country singer until Garth popularized him in one of his songs. (Much Too Young
To Feel This Damn Old.)
And, then, of course, LeDeux *is* just a step up the alphabet from Lacroix...
