(I'm not quoting because I can't edit it down far enough for list requirements.) >...And I just know how much everyone has leapt in to write up their >own little >bits of the Wiki. Not. In the Wars in which I participated, some planning went on in faction mailing lists, but most went on in private IRC channels or in one-on-one AIM chats, or in a combination of those. Unless one sets one's IRC application to log all chat sessions (and not replace older conversations with newer conversations in the same room), the content of those sessions is lost. For what it's worth, I do have megabytes of archived e-mails of drafts of posts, discussions about drafts of posts, and -- though I'd be very surprised if they were complete transcripts -- posts regarding the content of faction IM/IRC discussions for the Celtic Glow Worms during Wars 9 and 10. (Also, FWIW, you can probably find more War-related material on the Fiendish Glow web site than on whatever might remain of the CGW web site or the Tequila Fiends' web site.) Another thing to add to the historical record is that some of our more prolific War-universe writers wrote stories in the War universe that were not directly related to time-limited Wars. (Bonnie Rutledge, writing for the Nunkies Anonymous faction, comes immediately to mind.) Brenda F.

BTW, hi folks. :) Long time no see.

I'm still a member, but I don't read this list as regularly as I used to. I'm one of the old timers. I joined the list early on--I believe some time after the first War so I guess it was 1994? I played myself starting in War 2 and in every War after that. I see that some of the links I had to past War archives are no more. War 8 used to be on fkfanfic.com--what happened to it? War 9 was on a geocities site. I don't know where Wars 10-12 are archived. I have Wars 11 and 12 filed away on my computer. It's hard to believe it's been 18 years since FK first aired. Some of the posts and fic I saved from the early days were to floppy disks. I don't even know if I have them anymore. There were some great discussions and fic in the old days. I was on FKSpoiler too. Some great discussion and reading there too. I never got to any conventions that featured FK. I did meet Ger at a Gerthering, as well as some list members. I've run into list members at other conventions. I hope the airing of FK on Chiller has generated more fan interest.

There isn't really an ALL setting, but if you've sent the +ALL command, you'll be set to receive all topics - including War messages. And if you're set to receive Digests, you get all messages - regardless of what topics you've turned on or off.
