Subject: Fan fiction links added to Fanhistory.com
I've created all of the articles from the fan fiction awards list on
Fanhistory.com and placed each story in it's own article.
http://www.fanhistory.com/index.php/Category:Forever_Knight_fan_fiction
Authors, if you'd like to go up there and add links to your stories
as to where they're archived and maybe a one-line summary, that would
be great.
And anyone else who wants to add their own fan fiction, please feel free.
Greer Watson is doing a faboo job adding her stuff and Bless Abby!
for taking on the episodes.
Someone need to add the VS4 episodes.
It's turning into a tremendous site. We really do need more
convention articles (list the convention and where and when it was
held) and events. And Fk stories, of course.
Regards,
Susan M. Garrett

Subject: ADMIN: FORKNI-L Rules
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
Of course that has nothing to do with the list rules, but what an
excellent beginning Mr. Dodgson gave us!

That would be a great favor to the fandom! I would follow your
progress eagerly. But I'm afraid it might even take three TVs this
time: US cut, Canadian cut and the DVDs. Four if we can circulate
the first-run German cut. (Is it lucky or unlucky that only first
season comes in quite so many flavors?)
When the first-season DVDs came out, I checked "Last Act" to reassure
myself that no footage was missing, even though the run-times clearly
indicated the first-run Canadian cuts. I picked "Last Act" because
it's peculiar in having some footage that aired only in the US as
well as some that aired only in Canada (and, besides, it's so good!
~g~). At a friend's home in '97 -- traveling far for a con -- I saw
a fan-vid that used footage of Erica's ghost in the Caddie, footage I
had never before seen. When I got home, almost the first thing I did
was post to the list in all excited curiosity. In a few days of back
and forth, we established that I wasn't the only one who hadn't seen
that footage, but many people had seen it, and apparently it had
aired in the US but not in most Canadian broadcasts. That thread
wandered into other notorious missing bits, like the scene in "False
Witness" present-day in which Janette learns Nick killed Lacroix (not
broadcast in the US), but Erica's ghost in the Caddie stayed the
ultimate benchmark for me, personally.
I should have checked more episodes, obviously. :-) Why, why, why
would anyone cut Nick and Lacroix's exchange about souls from the
flashbacks of "False Witness"? Madness!
Golly, but I love first season. :-) I rewatched "Fatal Mistake"
recently, and kept thinking that while it was perhaps the least
admired episode of first season, and surely suffers two painful
script burbles as well as arguably one of the worst necks-of-the-week
ever, it is nevertheless smart, well-constructed and satisfying.

You mean you don't like Alexandra the Dingbat Barmaid? :)= I've always
wondered, while Alexandra is a common name now in Europe, America, Canada,
Australia, etc., In those days wasn't it strictly a Slavic or Greek name?
But I could be wrong.

Subject: FK Fic Recs?
I'm first and foremost an UFfer, but I also adore Immortal Beloved
and N&N stories. I like Tracy and Vachon stories, I adore Schanke,
and I also get off on some Vachon/Nick....Really, I just love a good
story, soooo...could you guys suggest some of your favorite FK fic?
Nick's my hero, so while I love to see him get bashed in some
respects, I don't really like a story that character bashs him. What
I'd really like are some stories that explore the relationship
dynamics, not so much romance (N&N has a tendency to get cloying if
not in good hands) but how the characters interact and how they rely
on or influence each other.
I'd also like to read a good story (doesn't have to be slash) where
LaCroix has to really help or take care of Nick WITHOUT Nick being
reduced to childish or infantile behaviour.
I think Nancy Kaminski's stories are the top, along with Dorothy
Elggren -- these are the 1st that come to mind as Greats. I also
think there was a really good author who's name started with an "O"
-- does anyone have any idea who this might be?? Ophelia?? I can't
remember! And I'm sure I'm doing a diservice to other great authors
I used to love by not naming them, but it's been a while since I read
FK fic and that's why I'm asking for your help! :o)
Portia
PS. Are there any FK Storyfinder groups like there are for other fandoms?

I hated Alexabdra from the first, and in fact I'm the one who
nicknamed her the Vampire Dingbat. :)
Alexandra was in use as a name, in that form, in Roman times. There
are several early Roman martyr saints of that name. It was very rare
in English until Princess Alexandra of Denmark married the future
King Edward the VII in 1861. I'm at work and my copy of the Oxford
Dctionary of English Chistian Names, still the standard source, is at
home. At the time I thought this was an unlikely name for a barmaid
in that century.
