Subject: LAS VEGAS: NEWS FROM HERE
Hello my fellow "Knighties",
Just thought I'd bring you up to speed with the happenings here in Las
Vegas. First, my campaign with the local FOX affiliate that airs FK.
Last week, I faxed them a letter letting them know the distress our FK
is in. [I spoke briefly with one of the associates in the programing
dept. and she wasn't even aware of the situation. She informed me that
this was left up to the Sales dept. Hence, my decision to fax her the
"facts".] Now, 3 days after I sent my fax, the time slot of FK changed
from Sunday morning at 1 am to Saturday night at 10 pm AND according to
the "blurb" about a half hour prior to the showing, it said, "Now at its
new time slot." MMM, coincidence ? Maybe, but why this sudden change?
Prior to my fax, there was no mention about moving FK. [Normally, our
station will do a campaign letting everyone know that if a show is
moving, what the new day & time will be. This will go one for a week.]
This morning I faxed again, the station letting them know that their
decision to move FK to a more desirable time slot was deeply
appreciated. IF [and this is a big IF here] we don't get a 4th season, I
don't think it's going to be because we didn't try enough or the local
stations weren't interested. So, keep plugging away and don't give up
the ghost.
Next, for those of you who are heading here for NAPTE, just thought I'd
let you know about the weather. According to the local weather person
last night [1/21 @ 11 pm] we are to have RAIN for the next 3 days.
[Mon/Tues/Wed.] and the high's will only be in the mid 40's. SO, bring
your umbrellas & sweaters as usually with the winter rains comes winds
out of the North/North-West and it does it ~COLD~. For Thurs/Fri we're
suppose to be back in the mid-60's. For those who will be here driving,
PLEASE be careful in the rain as the roads get very slick & the drivers
here DON'T slow down. Well, that's it for now. Keep plugging along and
SAVE THE KNIGHT!!!!
Back into the darkness I shall go!

There is going to be a CERK Radio Home Page.
Actually, there's a CERK page right this minute; just not much of one. A
hint of better things to come.
I could give y'all the direct URL, but instead I will direct you to the
brand-new URL at the bottom of my sig (yes, I'm attacking Compuserve now!)
and tell you to scope out what you find there. Go and play.

If you want to talk about current episodes, then you have to subscribe to
FKSPOILR, and join our discussion there. To do that, send the following
message to listserv@p.......
SUB FKSPOILR <type your name here -- without brackets>
I'm no expert, but I think the rule is that you can't talk about episodes on
FORKNI until they've hit re-runs. Jaye? Laurie? Lisa? maybe it's time to
post those rules again. If any newbie wants a copy, write to me off-list
and I'll forward one to you.

Subject: HorrorFest '96
I talked to Carol Thompson who is one of the people setting up the
HorrorFest in Dallas. This is the first time for this con, so she doesn't
anticipate that it will be large, but she is using it as a feeler for a
bigger con in following years. Eventually they want it to run 2 days
and have more events. She's evidently been involved in doing something
similar where there were too many people, not enough control, and things got
out of hand, including damage to the hotel where it was running. Therefore
she's being cautious about size and expanding too quickly. However, I noted
that I got the last flyer for it at the BookStop I went into, therefore a lot
of people picked them up there. She and others have left them all over, so
she may end up with a bigger gathering than she anticipates.
There will be films (classics from 1959-1972 era), a room with panels
(starting at ll:00 a.m.) with discussions and questions and answers, and a
dealers area. Sandwiches will be catered in after 7:00 p.m. for those who
want to watch films in the evening. Pat Elrod, the writer of vampire books,
will be there, and a couple of people who did a fanzine for Twin Peaks, and
some other local horror writers.
Carol wanted to know if *anyone* knows someone involved with special effects
whom she might be able to contact about attending as a speaker?
She gave me Pat Elrod's phone number so I can give her a call and see if she
knows what's going on with FK. Also gave me the number of Theresa Patterson
at Pegasus (both are local). She said we are welcome to bring all the flyers
we want and we can pass them out and talk to people. Cool.
Again, for folks in the D/FW area, let me know if you'd like to gather for
this one. And let other people know about it. The more who attend, the
better it will be and that will encourage an even larger con next year.
Also, the more of us that pass through, the more we can discuss FK!

Good Luck guys! You are an inspiration and we are all proud of you!
I'm almost as nervous as if I were going myself! The ad described by Celeste
sounds wonderful, and with our rank of seven advancing forward with bags and
brochures in hand, we will certainly make a dent in TriStar's heretofor
undentable armor.
Don't slack off in those letters to Feltheimer folks, we need to be hitting
them from both fronts.

Subject: spoilers and location list
Folks... Spoilers are to be discussed on the list specifically for that
episode (any episode until it is rerun) -- the list is FK-SPOILR and you
subscribe the same way you did to this list, to listserv@psuvm with the
sub fk-spoilr in the message (no there is no "e" in spoilr).
Did the locations list ever get sent? I got the mail check, but
not the list itself.
Re:Toronto for fanfic -- you might try Yonge Street or Church St.
for a raunchy area, but also further south and a bit west of Yonge might
be better. Yes, train from Montreal to TO is fine, and the subway is
easily accessible underground from the train station -- the stop is
called "Union".
I would so much rather do subway stuff than try to drive today (it
rained all night and now there is snow... I am so tired of this
winter).

Subject: Re: When can we talk about FEVER?
For the benefit of the new listmembers among us who may not know:
There are three FK lists: forkni-l, for general chat, discussion of
old episodes (ie, eps that have been rerun), and SOS matter; fkspoilr,
for discussion of current episodes, and fkfic, for the posting of FK
fan fiction.
to subscribe to fkspoilr:
send message to listserv@p.......
leave subject line blank or put in *
as text, write: SUBSCRIBE FKSPOILR YOUR NAME (or whatever your name is)
the same process applies to fkfic-l, except your text message would
read:
SUBSCRIBE FKFIC-L YOUR NAME
Hope that helps! Remember, no "e" in listserv, no "e" in fkspoilr, and
no "-l" in fkspoilr.
Couple more points: all discussion of new episodes should be confined
to fkspoilr. When you are posting a spoiler on fkspoilr, you should
include SPOILER and the name of the episode in your subject line (some
peoples' mailers don't indicate what list a post came from, and some
people don't want to be *spoiled* before they have seen an episode).
Fkfic is for fiction ONLY. Comments on fiction should be made to
forkni-l, unless they relate to new episodes, in which case they should
go to fkspoilr.
Also a general point regarding all lists: when quoting someone else's
post, please try to use no more than four lines of text at a time.
Edit, snip, whatever you have to to stay within the limit. Some
members of the list have to pay for their e-mail by the line, and it's
a courtesy to them. For the same reason, sig files should be limited
to no more than four lines.
Hope this is helpful and welcome aboard! :-) If you have any more
questions, please e-mail me.

Subject: Still recovering from AOL chat
Wow. It's the next day and I'm still recovering from the whirlwind known
as the "Knight Watch" Monday night chat on FK over at AOL. Everyone
talks at once. Someone says something like "Ger shirtless" and you can
actually watch as it spreads like wildfire through the room. Within
seconds it seems that people believe Ger is actually supposed to appear
shirtless in some upcoming episode, when in fact it all started as
wishful thinking on the part of one Knightie somewhere in the virtual
"room." Yikes.
Anyway, TVV Marci (Marcia Tucker) hosted it and did a nice job of managing
the chaos. She'll probably post a summary and let people know where to
download the logs. Watch out, though, there are spoilers for "Fever" in
those logs! (No spoilers in *this* post, though.)
Gillian Horvath (script writer for several FK eps) showed up! It was
terrific. Amidst the chaos we managed to get some information out of her.
She mentioned a couple of scenes that were filmed for "Fever" but cut.
She has just finished writing another episode which will be the
second-to-last of the season.
Thanks to Marci for hosting. Had a lot of fun and used up another 1 hour
8 minutes of my 10 free hours. Mentioned the words "free hours" in the
presence of Jamie MR and she wimpered at the size of her AOL bill. I
should have let Jamie sign me up on AOL because then she would have gotten
10 free hours, too!!
OTHER STUFF:
Hopefully, coming soon to a mailing list in your neighborhood:
- GOODIES Report #2!! Some nice stuff has been sent lately!
- A new, improved cast/crew list to be used when sending appreciation
goodies!
I'm waiting to hear back from a Toronto contact, so stay tuned!

Toni, Toni! Watchable onlu for the scene with Vachon. Nay, this episode
is watchable for the risk in which Nat is placed, and for the closing
scenes between Nick and Nat. Those scenes are both romantic and playful.
Okay, Vashon observing Tracy's bum is funny.

ok. I *do* like the scene with NickanNat at the very end. But, please! The
premise was soooo annoying. And isn't Nat always in danger? I'd just like her
to save Nick from physical danger once ... like Janette comes back a changed
woman and tries to kil nick and Nat and LaCroix team up and Nat pushes
Janette over a bridge (oh reminiscnet of Highlander) who flies away to safety.

Subject: Request for History Info, etc.
Help!
I've missed two and a half seasons of Forever Knight (yes, I know I'm pretty
late to get on the bandwagon) and would LOVE to get some background info on
the characters, relationships, etc. Specifically, I would like to know about
the background of Nick and Nat's relationship, like what her reaction was
when she met him, was it love at first sight, how did Nick recruit her help
in becoming mortal, etc. (yes, I am a sucker for a hopeless pair of lovers.
I even wanted Nurse Chapel and Mr. Spock to fall in love on Star Trek,
though, in my defense, I was only six at the time.)
Are there any kind souls out there would have pity on me and fill me in?
Also, is there anyway to view reruns from the first two seasons? There's
nothing like actually seeing a show.
Oh, and just for the record, I have sent letters to TriStar and my local
station and am e-mailing Mr. Flixman at the same time this goes out. Let's
hope that the powers that be listen.
A note to the organizers: Thank you so much for all you are doing. I love
Forever Knight, but felt helpless when I learned it was to be cancelled.
Now, however, I know who to write, e-mail, fax, call, etc. There are a lot
of us who care about FK, but didn't know what to do about it. Thanks to you,
now there is something we can do. (Sniffle, sniffle. I'm getting maudlin
here, aren't I? Kleenex, anyone?)
This is the line where I'm supposed to say something clever or put a
thought-provoking quote. However, I'm all clevered out so I'll just sign off
by saying - Keep The Faith (and please, God, don't let there be too many
typos in this so I come off looking like a moron to every FK fan on the
internet!).

Subject: Re: FEVER
Just saw FEVER. IMHO - it was the best episode I have
seen since C&C last season.
Being someone who suffers from Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome, Multiple Chem. Sensitivity and Fibromyalgia
I related DEEPLY to that episode. It was sensitive yet
showed all the sides of the problem. It also covered all
the ways people deal with being ill. Anger, resigned,
fighting, hopelessness. Mr. Wyn Davies and Mr. Bennett
did EXCELLENT jobs. I also thought the interaction
between Screed and Vachon was touching and showed
new depth to Vachon's character.

Subject: Re: forward from someone in Syracuse.
This is a very confusing response from this station. First, FK is
a *syndicated* show in non-USA network markets. NBC should have
nothing to do with broadcasting it to their affiliates. FK goes out
on a satellite feed on Monday (or early Tuesday?) for the individual
stations that carry it to record for showing at the time that station
has decided for showing it. The *only* reason this station may have
had for not showing the episode would be that it was required by its
affiliation with NBC to carry the pageant in FK's normal time slot.
This type of assumption that any network other than USA has control
over FK is spreading misinformation, imo. Affiliates of any network
(whether it be ABC, NBC, CBS, UPN, FOX) are obligated to carry certain
of the network's programming. But each station also has some "free"
time to air programs of their choosing (like FK). The problem comes
up when a network runs programming that will cut into a station's
"free" time. When this happens, sometimes a station will not air the
originally scheduled programming (FK) at another time because it
usually means some *other* program the station wants to run has to be
bumped.
Complaints to NBC I wouldn't think would help in this case. I suspect
those viewers of FK in this market won't see Fever unless it is
repeated in syndication on the satellite feed (if it is, and if NBC
doesn't want the station to air some NBC programming in FK's normal
time slot again). It's possible the station could show it earlier if
they got enough complaints about the preempting *to the station* (not
NBC).
Just my opinions here (if I'm wrong about any of it, I'm sure someone
will say so :) ).

Subject: Reply from WJBK-TV2
Got the following letter back (finally) from WJBK-TV2, which
is where Forever Knight is shown in the Detroit area:
Thank you for your recent correspondence. It is very important that we
receive comments from our viewers, whether they are positive or negative.
Thank you for expressing to us your happines (sic) about us airing the
"FOREVER KNIGHT" syndicated series show (sic). We are glad you like the
show and for the time being the show will remain on our program schedule.
We appreciate you taking the time to write, and welcome and (sic) future
comments you may have.
Sincerely,
Jerry Lesz
Director of Broadcast Administration
I'm pretty annoyed at how poorly written the letter is. Along with
the grammical and spelling errors, the complimentary close was typed
*three* times, and the letter was obviously copied.
Now that I think about it, maybe the letter being copied is a good
sign that they got so many letters about Forever Knight that they
had to resort to copying to save time.
Or maybe they just need to hire a better secretary.

(And someone else asked what CERK was, so I'm answering that, too.)
CERK is the radio station in T.O. (fictional) that LaCroix broadcasts from.
The CERK page is (going to be) strictly a radio-station-type page. Y'know,
profiles of on-air personalities, featured artist of the week (I had in
mind a certain church-dwelling guitarist for that section) and so forth.
And since as per War #5, the station is in the hands of the Mercenaries,
well... <g>

Subject: just came on the list
Hey everybody :)
My name is Jason and i just recently subscribed to the forkni-l list
i already think it's great. How can i get involved with the"save the
Forever Knight" thing that I'v seen?
I would also like to know if anyone can tell me about some of the
history of some vampires on that had been on the show, like the group
called (i think) the "Enforcers" or something on that line. And where is
La Croix? someone told me nick killed him, can someone clear that up for me.
That's about all for now, btw i am a newbie for this sort of
thing so for the first couple of days-weeks don't come down on me hard if
i make a mistake or two, hopefully i'll get the hang of things soon :)

Subject: Talking to the Syndies...
Hey Gang -
I talked to Channel 12 here in R.I., the one that shows FK on Saturday
Mornings at the ungodly hour of 1:35 a.m.(after Xena) but at least they're
running it. I told them how happy I was that they were continuing to run it
since USA was no longer doing so and that I had watched on their channel
anyway since I don't currently have cable.
The woman I spoke to laughed and said, "I have got to log this in and give it
to the Program Manager, because I've gotten a lot of calls about Forever
Knight. Thank you for calling!!"
Well, I feel good now. I've sent my letters, email, money, what's next - I'm
in!!
By the by, I am on the JADFE mailing list for ADULT FK stores (steam pouring
from ears) and there have been two stories (Physical Therapy and What Love
Endures) that are fabulous, fabulous stories. They are not for the faint at
hear (graphcally erotic) but what's good about these stories is that they are
good Nick really Loves Nat and Nat Really Loves Nick stories that happen to
have some erotica in them. That to me is what makes a really good "naughty"
story.There has to be a real story in there - not just the naughty bits. If
anyone (who is not faint of heart and over 18) is interested, Email me
privately and I'll give you the dope on how to get them. They are seriously
worth it.

Subject: CTV
I think we've had an impact on CTV! At least on their Toronto station
at any rate. Last night, after the broadcast of the show, they made
an announcement to say the show wouldn't be shown on its usual day
next week, but >would< be shown on Wednesday instead. They very
rarely make those kinds of announcements unless it's some wildly
popular (read, lots of publicity) show like ER, where they >know<
they're going to hear from their viewers if they pre-empt it! So for
them to do that for FK is really pretty spectactular!!
BTW, did anyone else run into this problem? Anna and I were going to
go up to CFTO (local CTV station) last week to present their
programmer with some flowers and a certificate we'd made up, in honour
of Syndicators Appreciation Day. But we were told they can't accept
any "gifts", including flowers. I mailed the certificate to her
anyways, though! If she returns it, that's up to her (she's at NATPE
this week, so it won't be till next week), but I wanted to make the
gesture anyways, and so even if she returns it she'll still have
looked at it and hopefully absorbed the message (I thanked her for
showing FK, for showing it consistently every week, for showing it in
prime time, and for publicizing it). I talked to her secretary last
week and had a very nice conversation with her. She said they'd
gotten many, many letters, phone calls and faxes about the show, and
her boss definitely knew she HAD TO ASK for FK at NATPE (and it
sounded like she was going to)! The secretary thought all this
attention was really wonderful...she sounded like they'd been having a
good time with it all, so obviously everybody's correspondence was
intelligent and thoughtful and garnered positive feelings. The
secretary kept saying how "sweet you guys are"!!
I think we all deserve a big virtual hug!!
