Ummm, I seem to remember someone saying that it was SPECIFICALLY asked that
nothing be sent directly to the studio? Until further notice, best (I
think) to send stuff straight to Paragon; let them distribute it for us.
Oh, and BTW: Don't anyone get the bright idea of sending Warm Fuzzies up
north. They are MY warm fuzzies. I will be the one to send them. Thank
you. The management. :-) (Printed warm fuzzies, of course, since web
pages per se don't fit well in number ten envelopes.)
And yes, Warm Fuzzies of the virtual sort have already been sent to Fred.

Subject: ObFK
I think, what with Felicia O'Sullivan and Felicia Sparks recently joining me
on the list, I now qualify for recurring listname status <VBG>. There is a
Felicia LeCou running around the newsgroup, and (completely unrelated I
know), I went to college with a girl who, though she went by her middle name,
was also a Felicia, and I just met a 14-year-old Felicia the other day at the
library (*she* was named after a great-aunt). This may not be that stunning
a fact to our Lisas and Sharons and Catherines, but Chanda and Celeste and
Jennise, to name a few, might understand how amazed I am to find repeating
Felicias exist--- and in our little family!
And yes, this does have a point: Welcome, Felicia S. {hug} I'm thrilled to
have you around. Just don't forget to sign your last name to your posts, or
you may find yourself reading messages on this list like "Dear Felicia,
please repost the SOS FK FAQ" and find yourself going, "Huh?! What are they
talking about?" If it's something you don't understand, with *your* name
attached to it, trust me, they mean me <G>.
And to the rest of the list: if you're in doubt, remember. I'm the really
chatty Ravenette. <G>
ObFK (really a YKYBWTMFK in disguise)
You know you've been watching too much FK, when the lady you're waiting on at
the library says to her tyke, "Now Natalie, we have to take you home and
change your diaper", and you do a doubletake and think, "Geez, Nat's a little
*young* to lose her bladder control, isn't she?" <GGG>

Cynthia -- thanks for the tip about gaming stores as a good place for flyers.
In our area Perri placed flyers at comic books stores and got an excellent
reponse. We've both done regular book stores, and I'm going to be hitting
some more coming into the weekend. Tried Blockbuster Video as a site, but it
was no go. Barnes & Noble were fine with it. I'll check up on where area

With all the snow storms going on recently (we got 30 inches at my house
last night) I can't help but wonder what vampires do in times of really
bad weather. I mean they've got all the time in the world, right? A really
bad snowsotrm would trap them. How would they amuse themselves?

Subject: Navigating on AOL
Sherri Lynn Godsey asked for pointers to the FK stuff on America Online.
Since there may be a few other AOL newbies this week because of Saturday's
Geraint conference, I'm responding on list:
Once you're connected, click on the curving red arrow in the toolbar (or, for
the more keyboard-oriented out there, hit Ctrl-K) and type TV GOSSIP in the
box. You'll skip right over the main TV image map (and the accompanying
forced download) and go straight to the TV Gossip menu listing Archives and
Message Boards. Click on "TV Prime Time and Late Night Message Boards," then
scroll down to Syndicated TV D-F. You either double-click on it to see
messages going back a few weeks, or hit the Find Since button to determine
just how far back you want to go. Once you open the folder up, you'll have no
problem locating the FK discussions.
Back at the TV Gossip menu, check out the Archives for old discussions and
chat logs. (You can download them immediately or, better still, use the
Download Manager to grab everything when you're through for the night.) The
Remote Control icon brings you to a chat area, which is where many FK fans on
AOL go every Monday night at 11 p.m. Eastern.
(Keep in mind that the Geraint discussion will be in the OMNI area, though,
not TV Gossip. See Marcia's directions to that area in her earlier note.)
For those out there who lack an Internet browser, AOL does have one -- it's
incredibly lame compared to Netscape, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, or
Mosaic, but it's better than nothing, and you can access the Save FK site and
other juicy spots. (If you're using Windows, there is a way to connect
Netscape to AOL using AOL's Winsock.)
Once you're on, you can write a nice note to AOL's prez, Steve Case. His
E-mail is, simply, SteveCase.

I make reference to the episode "Night In Question," in which LaCroix
is staked when trying to feed on a wounded soldier. Can some kind soul tell
me what war this is? By the costumes, I am guessing the Napoleonic Wars, but
feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I need this info ASAP, as I plan to
post part 2 of "MHTH" on Sunday.
Thanks and virtual hugs to all in advance.

I was watching DUE SOUTH last night (on CTV), and I thought those of you
are interested can watch it tonight. On this episode, two former FK
vampires appeared: Denise Virieux who played "Serena", and the guy who
played "Richard Lambert".
Then I was watching "Taking The Falls" after that, and saw Geordi
Johnson guest starring.

Subject: Blood Drives - idea
For anyone doing the blood drives who are expecting actual publicity, my
dad came up with an idea y'all might consider. (He thought it was a
joke.) <g> Newspaper and television both are more inclined to use stories
and place them well if they have good visuals to go along with them
(trust me, I know this from exprience). So, those of you who are donating
blood -- how's a bout wearing your fangs and flashing them for the
cameras? Gets people's attention and would make and excellent visual to
go along with any sotries anyone waants to use.

Personally, I'm not surprised (although I haven't seen the issue in
question). Knowing who owns TVGuide -- Rupert Murdoch --and who owns FOX
TV -- again, Rupert Murdoch--I hardly expected them to give FK any space
at all what with their very *own* Vampire 90210 coming out soon.

For those of us who don't use the WWW to get ftp access (and who don't
know how to convert the given address to one they can use), you should
ftp to the site:
members.aol.com
After logging in anonymously, change the directory to /aricon and you'll

I downloaded a file called sosfkadvert.txt without a problem except for a
problem with the line breaks (they aren't being read as line breaks so the
whole thing is screwy). I don't know if is a problem on my end or not, but
I doubt it because I've never had this problem when using ftp protocols to
move files (I'm using the program ftp on our VAX). I have seen this
problem when I have used Kermit to upload files when the end-of-line and
newline characters weren't translated properly. Perhaps someone else can
try this site via the internet (not WWW) and confirm or deny this?

First of all, I don't see how y'all stand it. I probably haven't seen 30
inches of snow in all my 30+ years. I hope you've got lots of FK tapes to
sustain you during your imprisonment!
I should think what vampires do during really bad weather is wonder what
they're going to eat! After all, they can't stock up on canned chicken soup
and beans (well, they *can*, but it won't help much). How long can vampires
go without feeding, anyway? Can they starve to death? And how long does
blood keep? And for that matter, how do they keep it from turning into one
giant bottle-shaped clot? Enquiring minds want to know.

Subject: Re: Let It Snow
I'm mixing my seasons, to be sure. And not only that, but I'm dropping
blatant fiction challenges throughout. I know the rule about making
challenges, but I'm still working on the head injury piece. All I can say
is... so it goes.
===================================
What would our favorite vampire do if s/he was stuck inside because of
snow?
Let's find out...
Nick: When Nick discovered he was trapped for the day because of the snow,
he had a flashback of his magical experiences of his youth playing in
snowball fights, building snowcastles, and how the sun glinted so
beautifully from all the drifts and trees. He immediately opened the blinds
in a fit of angst and scorched his face. He then began working on a
painting entitled "Snow-Blind Predator." He spends the whole day and night
painting, feeling stuck, never once considering the option of flying out a
window because being trapped in the snow is *so* human.
LaCroix: Having the common sense *not* to look outside (even though age and
resilience would allow such a thing in his case), LaCroix instead put his
favorite movie in the CD-V player and sets it for infinite repeat. With the
strains of Julie Andrews lilting in the background, "Rosebud" then signs on
to his favorite Internet Relay Chat channel looking for interesting people
to examine. He knows that when night falls he could fly out and travel
anywhere he chooses, but feels that a quiet night at home surrounded by his
history and few treasures will fill this night quite well.
He says much online, but never repeats what he says or is told.
Janette: She spends the day writing on old parchment with pen and ink
reflections, poetry, striking quotations, and stray thoughts. It is
something she has done frequently over the centuries but not mentioned to
either LaCroix or Nichola because neither would understand. LaCroix would
see it as a crude revisiting of her human nature, the desire of immortality
on the page... an immortality she already has without paper and pen. Nick
would see it as a hidden desire to actually become human again through
engaging in human activities. Both would be wrong though. Writing, she
feels, is one of the most expressive, most beautiful, and most romantic of
all the arts. She writes because she loves it's quality. She keeps all of
her writings in a truck in the basement... some bound in books, others
wrapped in ribbons, some in boxes. There are other small keepsakes as well.
Perhaps later tonight she will visit Nicola and try to entice him out to
fly with her... or better yet, entice him to stay in with her.
What Janette writes she has never spoken of.
Vachon: He doesn't like being couped up, so he sleeps most of the day. When
night falls he goes up to his roof with a bottle, clears a space to sit,
and wiles away several hours looking out over the buildings and at the
stars deep in thought. He considers visiting Tracy. He considers his
friends over the years. he considers his loves and his causes.
What truths do Vachon cling to... what does he want out of his immortal
life?
Screed: Never noticed the snow. He was in the sewer the whole time. There
seem to be more rats below than normal, but he never guesses that they were
driven there by weather... only that it was a good days catch.

Subject: Another Syndie Phone Call
People seem inspired whenever someone posts a message relating their
latest phone exploit with a syndicating station, so here's my latest
telephone adventure.
I called Naomi Adams, the Program Coordinator at KYW-TV 3 in Philadelphia.
She recognized my name as one of the people who sent the gift basket
earlier this week! Good, we started out on a friendly note. I told her
how much I appreciated seeing "Strings," a new episode, earlier this week.
Since there had been some confusion about this week's schedule (it started
about 10-15 minutes ahead of schedule), I asked when we should look for FK
this weekend.
Philly viewers take note: from now through March, look for FK at 2:20am
on Sunday night/Monday morning. (This is *not* what the TV Guide says,
but I got the info directly from the the Program Coordinator so it should
be reliable.) I think she said that it got moved around a bit due to NCAA
basketball.
I then mentioned to Ms. Adams that I heard TriStar might not produce a
fourth season unless the local stations ask for it. She said she had
heard from TriStar that the show's fate was up in the air, and said that
KYW was talking to TriStar about getting more FK if it's available. She
got my address so she could let me know what the final outcome would be
when it's decided.
All in all, a very positive experience. They received and appreciated
the gift basket, they are in contact with TriStar, and they're following
up. Way to go, KYW!!
Warm glow... optimism... maybe we're having an impact after all! :)
Now, Philly fans, make sure you keep watching or taping FK at 2:20am
early Monday morning! And call Naomi Adams at KYW for yourself -- the
station's number is 000-000-0000.
Call your syndie station today!

The Demise of Sparky
(A Tragedy in one Act)
It was a dark and stormy afternoon. And windy. BOY, was it windy. 40 MPH
gusts with driving rain.
But there was a new comic store that opened a block from Susan's place of
employment and there were FK flyers to deliver. She got on her coat and
hat, but then tragedy struck--
She'd left her umbrella at home!
What to do! Having just recovered (well, almost) from a nasty illness,
Susan was not about to brave the rain without an umbrella. No one seemed to
have one, or they'd just gone out and their's was wet and soggy (ick!).
And then Susan caught sight of a long brown object behind the coat rack. It
was threadbare, it was woe-be-gone, it was sad.
It was Sparky, the spare umbrella.
Susan dashed out into the storm, shielded by Sparky's slightly tattered
frame. They reached the comic and gaming store and delivered flyers to the
owners, who hadn't known the show was cancelled. Susan gave them 'the
spiel,' then set back to work again.
Tragedy struck for the second time that day when a gust of wind roared
beneath sparky, turning him inside out. The tattered cloth that held him
together ripped in half . . . and Sparky was no more.
The Empress of FKFic-L requests a moment of silence in the memory of Sparky,
the brave little umbrella who gave his life to save FK.

Subject: Newer press release?
Hello--
Do any of you have a more up-to-date press release that includes what
has already been done, and the plan for NATPE? I'm looking for
something concise and quotable.
thanks,

Hey y'all! I just got off the phone with Susan Young, the TV critic at the
San Fransisco Bay area Alameda Newspaper Group. She had done an interview
with Ger a while back and I'd asked for and gotten permission to post the
whole thing to this list. She has been working on a story about FK that
should be appearing in the next week or so, so More Publicity! She also is
going to attempt to join the list and also participate in the AOL chat with
Ger tomorrow. She's talked to people at Tri-Star and says they have been
getting hammered by reporters in the Boston area. Anyway I am going to fax
her the press releases and she said she could use the info in her article.
Faxes sent, and I also pointed her at the Save FK webpage so there's some
more help!

TV GUIDE definitely needs to be reminded of this appalling error.
<eg> It's letter to the editor time, folks!! :-) If they get
enough of 'em, they'll probably print at least one, so start thinking
short, pithy, and memorable (that's more than I can do today...).

Once again TV Guide has a whole issue devoted to Sci-Fi and once again FK is
conspiciously absent . TV Guide has a history of ignoring our beloved show .
Hell my local edition doesn't even put in the ep. synopsis, grrr.
they forgot highlander too. hmph. TV guide just cant do *anything* right.

Actually, this has been discussed on a couple of the blood drive loops. The
problem is that you run the risk of being classed as a "crazy fan". Not
exactly the kind of image I thought that we wanted to project.
