I didn't keep the original digest, but wasn't she talking about one of the three licensed/approved novels that were professionally published but no longer in print? I'm fairly sure that while they were written by fans, discussion of them is allowed because they were approved for publication by TPTB.

One of our Forkni-ler had written and was selling copies of Forever Knight novel. Not only was it written so that it read like professional work, it was also physically up to professional standards. Unfortunately, Sony got wind of the book, and threatened the author with a lawsuit unless the book was withdrawn. At the time I thought they might have someone monitoring the list, since it wasn't all that long after the show went off the air, and they had licensed the three novels published by Berkeley. The author told me later that she knew that wasn't how Sony found out. So, as long as nobody's selling fanfic and advertising it on FK, I think we're ok. I hope so. The topic isn't forbidden, although I see why it might have seemed so, Just let's be careful. If we got kicked off PSU now, there are places like Google and Yahoo where we could go, but Don and I much prefer PSU. :) *McLisa (Lisa McDavid) "That will be trouble." listowner, Forkni-l & Fkfic-l mclisa1014@g.......* ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 02:16:35 -0400 From: KnghtWtch@a....... Subject: Re: McLisa answers questions, was Re: The 1st war FK fanfic got me into reading books back in 1996. Since I started reading all the fic on fkfanfic.com, {I've read everyone of them} I've become addicted to reading. This is a person who spent many an afternoon in the principle's office because I wouldn't read aloud for the teacher. KnightWitch ;-]= In a message dated 3/27/2011 12:49:27 P.M.

So, please continue! :-) I haven't done too many cons or other in-person fan activities, but if FK peeps do plan a reunion I will definitely try to be there!
