Saturday is the sixth day of FKFicFest 2012! We release the biggest stories on weekend days, in hopes that when people are not working, they have more time to read. (Of course that depends on one's job, doesn't it?) Today's new FK adventure is the longest story in this year's game: * "Knight Down" by Foxy11814 (PG-13; m/f; 12,059 words) * Characters: Nick/Natalie, Reese, Tracy Summary: Nick and Nat finally get away from it all. The only problem is: they want to go back! http://archiveofourown.org/works/470103 * * * If you are so generous as to spend your time reading, please let the writer know you did! Click the "Comments" button at the end to type feedback, or click the "Kudos" button to be counted as a reader leaving kudos... or both! (You don't need to be a member to share your thoughts, and "I read your story; thanks for sharing" can be enough to warm a fanfic writer's heart and inspire a new story.) For more information on this annual FK game, see us at: http://fkficfest.livejournal.com/ *or* http://fkficfest.dreamwidth.org/ *or* http://archiveofourown.org/collections/FKFicFest/. It is a blast to be playing FK again! --- Amy R.

This is great news.<< As long as my situation allows (or a substitute can be found), we will play again in 2013, yes. Glad you're excited! I wasn't going to mention this until after this year's game, but I have AO3 invites for anyone who wants to play in next year's game and doesn't already have an account. Contact me off-list, and we'll get you set up. *No rush.* ;-) Of course, the game works best when we have many players! While 13 players this year has been fun, the "exchange" aspect of the game was more challenging than with the 20+ players in each of the past two years. When we have many players, it's easy to put someone who likes writing N&Ner romance with someone who likes reading it. If we have few players, a Knightie may have to write a prompt submitted by a Cousin, with all the angst that entails. :-) --- Amy R.

For example, the Forever Knight Faction Guide (once an AOL Homepage, but now only on the Wayback Machine) lists: - Heartbreakers --fans of Nick and Vachon; see also Night Havens and - Night Havens --fans of Nick and Vachon; see also Heartbreakers which is the sort of thing that is *so* helpful in telling them apart! The NightHaven (aka Night Haven) were apparently founded 7 January 1999 by Elfin and Javiette. On Wed, 14 Feb 2001, with war pending, Brenda Bell posted a list of factions to FORKNI-L. She listed Nick-Vachon among the couple factions but couldn't remember their name. So Cloud chipped in: (Nick+Vachon) Night Haven is Nick *with* Vachon Heartbreakers is Nick *and* Vachon The wording there is a tad obscure. But when Brenda repeated the list on 6 Jun 2001 she wrote them Night Haven (Nick/Vachon) Heartbreakers (Nick *and* Vachon) So clearly, at that time, the two were seen as different factions, taking different approaches to the relationship between the two men. I can't help wondering why the second faction was created if there already existed the Heartbreakers, especially given Katrinka's description: > We like Nick and Vachon together. As friends? Why not? As more then friends? Sure, why not? I mean, that definitely covers slash as well as gen! On the other hand, the UF ostensibly covers all approaches to a relationship between Nick and Lacroix; and that didn't stop the CotK from being formed. Maybe Elfin and Javiette felt that the Heartbreakers were too gen-oriented? Are there no NightHavens on list any more? It would be kind of nice to hear from *them* about the creation of their faction. I'm wondering what fanfic was written with a "Heartbreakers" label. Did the Heartbreakers ever have a list? Or a website to archive their fanfic? There *is* a NightHaven Fiction Site (http://www.sundive.co.uk/foreverknight/lfic.htm). Some of the stories are Nick/Vachon, and others are Nick/Vachon/Lacroix (which ought to be a trinity faction in its own right, if you ask me).
