For goodness sakes!  I'm a Taurus, and I'm *nothing* like that! You're just

  Nancy,
I would like to participate in the 2000 FK fanfic awards. I haven't been on
the list for very long, only a few months. But in that short amount of time I
have written several stories. I am in the middle of making my own website to
host stories by myself and others.
  Is there a limit on how many stories one can submit? If there isn't, I
would like to submit all of the ones I have written this year. They can all
be found on my website, the URL is
https://www.angelfire.com/singtoangels/sing.html
 By the time you are ready to post all of the details about the awards, my
site should be done. The stories, however, are already up and ready to be
read by anyone, I just haven't advertised the site yet. :) If you could write
me back with more information about these awards, please do. I hope you have
all of the information from me that you need to process this.
          Sincerely,

          Sing To Angels

Hi,

Your stories must be nominated by someone to be in the awards. So all you can do
is make your website known to fans, and hope that you're nominated.

I am compiling a list of stories published in 2000. Would you please send that a
list of your stories to me, as well as their URLs? I'm sorry, I don't have the
time to dig through a website to get the specifics.

Thanks, Nancy Kaminski

Yeah, but .... he's gotten used to well-hydrated ... er ... food.
I understand that the water supply went, in many places, along
with the power. So I expect that Lacroix's palate would notice
the change in the current ... vintage.

" 'Gout de terroir' is all well and good, Nicholas, but I must
admit I've become used to a civilization with bottled water
and reverse-osmotic filtration."

[No, that ain't as funny as Chris R.'s observation that although
he complains, the only thing Lacroix actually refuses to eat is
Hitler <g>.]

(And I can picture Screed checking in to see how Libby's doing,
bringing her a fresh possum or such!)

Happy new millennium,
Julia

      This afternoon, I discovered that my link/bookmark to the Knightie

functions.  Has it been moved?  Replaced?  Discontinued?  Do I have a typo
in the address?

      Also, who is the current FTP site

      (Please write to me off list, or copy me on a list post.  I'm "mail"

Subject: Re: [astrological signs]

I did a search on Chinese zodiac and the two sites I checked said it was the
year of the golden snake.

I wonder what LC would say about that?  The fact that snakes have long been
interpreted (at least in Western culture) to be sly and devious creatures
makes me think he couldn't resist mentioning it in a monologue.

There are, however, only 12 actors in it! (g)  ... I've been watching SPACE
channel recently and I'm entertained to see how many actors show up over and
over, in all the shows filmed in Toronto or Vancouver.  The Baroness from FK
shows up in Due South.  Lisa Ryder, of course.  Nigel Bennett shows up in
Earth: The Final Conflict. And bit parts all over the place.

This is the frequent and plaintive semi-humorous complaint of British actors
-- who watch in envy as their Canadian counterparts turn up in a variety of series.
Mind you, they issue similar remarks about  Australian actors.<g>

I can't help but think of Nick's refrigerator and radio. <g>  Would send
care package of moo juice and batteries, but am not certain of how the
customs people would react.  And what if the battery acid leaked into the
blood?  Super Charged Moo Juice with an Electric Kick?  hehehe  Hey, I
wonder if that would be like Jalepeno sauce to us mortals?
Oh, man!  The Energizer Bunny on Nat's slab with fang punctures in its
Engergizers!
"Nick!  Is this something I should know about?!"

But I suppose that he has an emergency backup generator or three so that his
cow doesn't spoil. (not that, I imagine, he can tell from the taste, which
opened up some wonderful story plots in the past! lol!) Not to mention to
keep being able to listen to CERK.  Gotta keep tabs on Dad and what he
thinks Nick is up to.

Take my word for it, there are still battery operated radios - something
which I became well aquainted for four long, cold days last week. Unless, of
course, the entire radio station got knocked off the air. There were quite a
few radio stations off the air for at least a few hours, and some are still
off a week later.

Hmmm. Would CERK *dare* go off the air causing LaCroix's show not to be
heard? He  may be much too old and powerful for that to happen!

Subject: ADMIN: 2000 FK Fanfic Awards

I apologize for posting again to the lists, but over the last several days I've
received a number of inquiries about the fate of the 1999 Fanfic Awards, and so
decided to answer in public rather than privately.

The 1999 edition of the awards was being run by Mel Moser, who has been beset by
Real Life problems and has been unable to complete the work on the awards. I have
no knowledge about whether or not any winners will ever be announced for 1999;
I suggest any inquiries be addressed to Mel.

In the meantime, though, let's concentrate on the 2000 Awards! Start reviewing
your favorite works from the past year, and authors, send me a list of the
stories you've published in 2000 and the URLs where they're located! I hope to
have the Awards website up and running in a bout a week.

Cheers, Nancy Kaminski

Subject: The REAL Nick & Don??

In the newspaper a few days ago, there was an article on the Calgary police
department's homicide team. Its senior partners are Nick K. and a certain
D.S. Talk about obvious aliases!! ;-) Especially since Nick K.'s full name
is Nick Kiska, and he joined Homicide the same time that the 'Nakiska' ski
resort opened. And 'Dean Shaw' is so similar to 'Don Schanke' that it just
isn't funny... The article also noted that most of the work in homicide
starts at night; nobody commits murders in the daytime, Nick said.

Maybe it's time James Parriott came clean about the REAL Canadian homicide
partnership that inspired him... <VBG> Clearly, he's been getting inside
information, similar to that imparted to Anne Rice & Fred Saberhagen...

This is to coincidental.  I would love to know more about their real cases?!

cook with cups.
