The word that comes to my mind is "magnetism". Nigel
gave LaCroix an aura of command, dignity (usually)
authority and even aloofness in his bearing that
strikes a cord in many of us.

Exactly. Even though we may despise Lacroix at times, part of us (at
least of me) wants to surrender to such power.
God, do I need a shrink?

I have to agree... NB has the charisma that you rarely
see these days in 'modern' thesps. A lot of the actors
publicity agents flaunt their gorgeous features but
then they open their mouths for interviews and it can
make you cringe when the visage doesn't live up the
legendary appeal the likes of Cary Grant had.
But while he isn't your Grade A Hollywood Beefcake, he
can melt you with the slightest of glances and as we
all know the quietest of whispers....

Hardly! Given what Lacroix is meant to symbolise to
the audience (power, sensuality, etc.), it's exactly
how I think Parriott et al want us to react to him: to
love and hate him, to share Nick's own dual reaction
to Lacroix.
Can't go about disappointing those guys now, can we??
;p

ROTFL! no, no, I won't shoot you. honest mistake. And
I've just gotten over the goo going around here; I
sympathize. And I stick my foot in my mouth all the
time. <g>
to tell the truth, that's one of the things I like
about the name, that one can't automatically tell the
gender. Makes one stop and think how much our mental
picture of a person is determined by what gender we
think the person is.

Subject: Re: Getting to know us
> Who are you, where do you live, what do you do?
Angela Gottfred, and I live in Canada. I'd tell you more, but then I'd have to
kill you.
> Who is your favorite FK character and why?
I'm definitely a Die-hard; I can't pick my favorite, they're all great.
> How long have you been a FK fan? How did you get
> started?
I started watching the show in 2000 on Space channel. I'd heard about it when
it first aired here in Canada, but I was afraid to watch for fear it would be
truly cheesy. Besides, it conflicted with something-or-other in my schedule, I
forget what.
> Have you ever met anyone off the FK lists?
Nope, haven't had the pleasure. Perhaps Eve & I will get together one day,
though...
> Favorite Episodes for each season?
Tough call. Since I'm a contrarian, I'll pick some not-so-obvious ones. For
season 1, Dance by the Light of the Moon--I like the way Nick and Cyndy Preston
(the stripper) are character foils; he sees right through her because, in many
ways, he used to *be* her: following his evil impulses just for kicks.
Season 2: Amateur Night, which I didn't see much in at first, but found to be
really funny after my few brushes with filmmakers.
Season 3: Blind Faith, which was the basis for several of my fanfics. Not that
I've written a lot of fanfic, or anything. I know lots of people hate Jody and
Perry, but I saw real potential in Jody's character as a vampire; she was a
smart cookie who might just avoid some of the trouble Nick got into. But I also
liked Games Vampires Play.
> Other hobbies?
Researching & reenacting Canadian history of the voyageur era (see my website,
at www.northwestjournal.ca); list-owner and moderator of some related historical
Yahoo groups (h-voyageur, 19cWoman, SavoryFare2) church librarian (volunteer &
amateur); video games (currently hooked on Animal Crossing DS).
> Family status?
Married.
> Have you ever met anyone famous?
Well, I walked past David Suzuki once. Does that count? Also, my husband and I
helped out with one of the two-hour episodes of Canada: A People's History by
supplying props (translation: our personal reenacting supplies) and historical
expertise; we provided similar help with another documentary on Canadian
explorer David Thompson. As a result, we're pretty jaded when it comes to the
whole filmmaking process. Darn few famous people involved in documentary films.
Your humble & obedient servant,
Angela Gottfred

Well, nearly all of the 42 Canadian actors were in that one, lol.
Including Nigel and a host of FK alumni.

Subject: Looking for a story
I was watching an interesting documentary about the French Revolution
and thought of an FK story I once read.
I don't remember the present day plot but the flashback had Nick,
Lacroix and Janette in Paris during the revolution looking for a young
vampire (one of Lacroix's fledglings I believe, but it could also have
been one of Nick's). They find him in prison and sentenced to die.
Anyone remember this one?

I'm no expert, but that sounds a little Susan Garretty to me. Possibly, it
could be one of the Virtual Fourth Season fics. Hope that helps?
