So, does this count as a souvenir or a fossil? *giggle* Anybody know how
it came to be chosen as the blood substitute for FK? I never heard any
tales of who got sick and who didn't, anybody remember any of them?
*Mona, who wonders idly if this stuff is still manufactured.*

Well it's drinkable... and under stage lights (and regular lights) it
looks like blood.
It is a popular juice brand in the UK.. they have several flavors
(blackcurrant was the one used in FK) And you can buy it ready to
drink, in concentrate, or in powder.

Subject: Fanhistory.com - Forever Knight updates needed
I've managed to create what I hope is all of the categories we need
for FK and placed them on Fanhistory.
http://www.fanhistory.com/index.php/Category:Forever_Knight
I've created the pairing pages:
http://www.fanhistory.com/index.php/Category:Forever_Knight_pairings
Just click on the page link, when the page comes up click the EDIT
tab, type information and save.
Also, if you have a pairing photo that you want to use, you can
upload that as well.
I'll work on templates for adding fanfiction pages, fansite pages,
fanfiction archive pages, actor and character pages, fanzine pages, etc.
If you have any questions, please let me know. This is our history
we're documenting.
Regards,
Susan M. Garrett

Yes, it's still manufactured; in fact, it's very popular! It's a thick,
sweet blackcurrant syrup that you dilute with water to make a long cold
drink.
If anyone wants to try it, I'd be happy to mail out some 'ready-to-drink'
cartons. Much cheaper than the large bottles of undiluted stuff!

I've got a bottle sitting right here above my computer. It's provably not
as old as yours but it's at least 5 years or more old.

Ribena when properly diluted with cold water and a dash of
lemon....delicious.
Sitting in a glass pretending to be blood on FK...absolutely
believable. Especially if spilt on on clothes - stains just like
blood and just as hard to get out.
In Malaysia and Singapore, you can get it pre-mixed in 200ml foil
packs with additional flavours (blackcurrant+pear,
blackcurrant+peach, blackcurrant+glucose). The pack, I swear, never
fails to remind me of the blood pouches that Nick sipped from in
"Only the Lonely". Check out the picture.

Posted with McLisa's kind permission....
A few weeks ago I lost my Mom and now I am engaged in the daunting
task of clearing out the family home. As part of this process I am
drastically
paring down my own collections. Which means is I have a number of fandom
related items that need to find new homes. There are many Forever Knight
items
but I also have items from Due South, Star Wars and Star Trek.
If you are interested in learning more please contact me OFF LIST at
_LDukie913@a......._ (mailto:LDukie913@a.......) .
Thanks! Lori

Subject: Need episode help on fanhistory.com
I've managed to get the templates up for for the first and second
season of FK on fan history.com
http://www.fanhistory.com/index.php/Category:Forever_Knight_Season_1
http://www.fanhistory.com/index.php/Category:Forever_Knight_Season_2
With any luck, I'll get Season 3 done Monday night.
If the spirit moves you, click on an episode, hit the edit button,
and start filling in information. We need episode summaries, limited
episode credits, memorable quotes (you may need to add that header to
some of the 1st season templates, as I added it midway through doing
those), and then fannish stuff - fan reaction, links to fanfic
associated with those eps, etc.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!

You are more than welcome, if you wish, to link to my screen capture archives:

There are several hundred pictures from every episode of all three
seasons, done in a "story board" format.
