I believe thats been tried. A couple of us have announced that there was an
FK channel on IRC on the lists as well as the newsgroup but not that many
people showed up and when they did it was during a time of some problems
that were going on.

I guess I wasn't clear about one aspect in my previous post...
These stories are for a zine to sold at the FK Con out in San Fransico in
October. This is a ONE time thing only and ALL PROFITS WILL BE ADDED TO THE
AUCTION RESULTS FOR CHARITY.
Maybe calling it a zine was wrong... It is a collection of FK fan fic for

I did rather wonder how Vachon got there when it should still have been
daylight outside -- especially as he says he's been feeding Screed "all
morning." This is a good scene to mentally edit in; thanks, Apache! And
it also happens to tie into something a friend wondered about when I
showed him SoB last night -- if Nick and LC were taken "while they were
sleeping," that would have been during the day, yes? So how did the
soldiers manhandle them all the way to that dungeon without our vamps
imploding, or at least smoking very obviously?

You mean, you can actually tell? You got a big screen tv? :) If you
notice, the closeup of Nick in that scene doesn't show much of his
chest. And I don't know about anyone else, but the long shot of
him in the sunbed is not really that revealing of his chest (I don't
think). It's not a straight on view and it doesn't last long either.
Nope, I'm still not convinced that's Ger's chest in NiQ.

Ho, ho, time out, wait just a minute. Let's get some stuff straight
here.
A) Alexandra didn't come back to kill Nick because she blamed him
for her being a vamp. Mostly because Nick was in no way responsible for
her becoming a vamp. That was all Lacroix. She was pissed off at Nick
because he fully intended to kill her and move on. Understandable, I
would think, but also *just* a tad overly obsessive and indicative of a
lack of perspective on her part, to decide to spend your eternity chasing
after someone who did what you've been doing for about a hundred years.
But that's just me.
B) Alexandra never claimed that Nick raped her. (I *really* hope I would
remember something like that.) Mostly because, again, it just didn't
happen that way. As I recall, it looked pretty darn consensual to me.
But then, Alexandra's got some really loose screws, so she could be
telling Nick the moon was made of blue cheese, and I might totally forget
about it.
But I really didn't want anybody who hadn't watched the ep to think that
that was what had happened. (Which, by the way, would be a good thing
for you to consider before you phrase things like that.)

Well, being that you can't schedule SNOW, most episodes are shot around it.
Snow was very important in NIQ. And in "The Code," the cold, an unhappy car
engine, and a rear-end collusion by nun give Schanke the opportunity to
scream, "I HATE WINTER!" to the world in general.

Touche. :-)
But that's what I keep saying. Nicky's a *good* boy. He makes mistakes --
stupid mistakes -- big obvious idiotic blunders; but he tries *so* hard...
basically, he's a GOOD boy.

Can you hear the surprised choking noises coming from Southern Manitoba?
Trust me, it does snow in Ontario, and though I've never lived in Toronto
(closest I've come is Barrie), I'd expect that there is a great deal of
lake-effect weather coming off of Lake Ontario. Also, there was more snow
in Ottawa at one point early in the year than there had been all the
previous year so it probably hit Toronto too.
I can't remember any eps with lots of snow, but it could be that it would be
difficult to get all the equipment into a snowy scene without leaving
evidence that there had been a great deal of movement. Also, since a lot of
outdoor scenes take place on streets, both the street and the sidewalk could
be plowed enough for the pavement to be bare.

Ok, we know Nick is wealthy from robbing the Dauhin's son;
We know Lacroix is wealthy just from being Lacroix.
How does Vachon get *his* money? Is he independently wealthy also
or does he work for a living (uh,... death)?

Subject: Nick biting Marian
Apache writes:
>At the end, he bit her to take the vampire back out of her. If
>he didn't take it out with her blood, how'd he get it?
I moved this to the regular list since Blackwing isn't under spoiler
protection anymore. I didn't see any evidence that Nick bit Marian
at any time in Blackwing. Marian was not a vampire (we saw her in
the daytime at that office meeting). She had vampire seeming eyes
sometimes, but I never saw any fangs. If she had really been a
vampire, no amount of biting by Nick would have changed that.
Since whatever she did to help Nick occurred at least partially on
the spirit plane, so also might the passing of whatever she had
taken from Nick have been on the spirit plane. Nick's willingness
to accept it back rather than have it poison her spirit may have
been enough to have enabled her to transfer "the killer" (or whatever)
back to him by some spiritual means. She had "medicine man"
capabilities but she had not been trained in them. I can't recall
the guy's name, but he told Nick that she didn't know to transfer
what she had taken from Nick into a rock, stream, or whatever.
For *that* kind of disposal of what she had taken from Nick to be
possible should be enough evidence that Nick would have needed to
bite her for her to transfer it back to him (she wouldn't have been
able to bite a *rock*, after all :) ).

In response to Sandra Gray who writes;

I just wanted to comment that I thought much the same thing. Ger, for
whatever reason, seems to be extremely sensitive about the display of his
body parts. More than likely they did use a body double. Well I guess I
can't blame him. Knowing us, I wouldn't like exposing myself either. I
had the most amusing flash of Ger as the last truffle at a Chocaholics
convention. He probably has nightmares about it.<vbg> Oh well, he can't

I never for a minute thought that our beloved Nick would actually have
raped anybody, but I could swear there was an episode in which a woman from
his past shows up in the present and wants revenge, claiming that he raped
her and then brought her over. Maybe it was not Fatal Mistake. Maybe it
was Baby, Baby... Help, does anybody remember this?

Your memory is correct, Alexandra *did* accuse Nick of raping her in that
episode. However, we *saw* the scene where he bit her and it was very definitely
*not* rape. She was laughing, running her hands through his hair, and wrestling
with him (on the floor AND in the bed) without a care in the world. I haven't
re-watched it in a while, but I believe we even got a brief shot of her sitting
on the bed, loosening the strings of her 17th century corset/bodice while
making come-hither eyes at Nick-- not exactly the actions of a woman who's being
forced. Of course, she only expected a night of consensual lust with a
nobleman, not an eternity of darkness--- but she was definitely cooperating the
whole way.

Vachon doesn't seem too wealthy really. I mean, he lives in an

Now, I haven't seen this episode, so I can't say whether or not I think
Nick raped someone. But I have to ask: Was the above scene you just
described a flashback? And from whose point of view was it? If
Alexandra was having the flashback and remembered enjoying herself, then
obviously she's lying. But if Nick has the flashback and remembers
her enjoying it, well... I honestly can't imagine Nicky boy raping
someone, but I also realize there are two sides to every story.

win! It WAS Ron Perth!" Let me just say how really sad it is that I know
random executives for this rather pointless TV network. ANyway, they were
there lauding Ron Perth and how he "changed the image" of USA (my response:
from stupidity to sleeziness?) and that USA used to have these crime series
made in Canada for $1.50 and now they have these wonderful showss... (they
included in this Silk Stalkings.. which I thought was one of those 1.50
productions). Anyway, my mother, who I enlisted to mail a letter to Ms.
Kay, actually remembered her letter, but didn't take the opporunity to
go up and talk to her! WAIL! She would have made such an impression, Becase
KK would have assumed she was this rich lawyer from some big firm. Oh man!
I guess I can take consolation in the fact that it probably wouldn't have
made much difference, but it would have really driven home to KK what a
mistake it was! Okayy..sorry to add another long post to the mass of mail
this weekend, but I just had to share. At least we know Ron Perth ain't all
that bad...

I know I'm not the only one on this list who's picking up a degree of one
sort or another this spring, and as I contemplated my obligatory stack of

That's actually true, she blamed him for leaving her for dead and allowing
LaCroix the opportunity to bring her across.
B) Alexandra never claimed that Nick raped her.
She says it - she says to him "You took advantage of me. You raped me and
you left me for dead." These are the exact words coz I'm watching it right now.

Yet again, that was not my quote, and if you read my answer to that I was
totally defending my Nickie. However, the woman does say that to Nick, so
that is where she got the idea.

For those of you who don't know, Elrod (she's a she and goes by
Pat) has written six books about vampire Jack Fleming (The
Vampire Files), set mostly in Depression-era Chicago; four books
about vampire Jonathan Barrett, set around the time of the
American Revolution; and _I, Strahd_, the autobiography of the
preeminent vampire in TSR's Ravenloft universe. Elrod
enthusiasts who have not yet joined the fan club may be
interested in some items from this latest newsletter:
P. N. Elrod and Nigel Bennett are collaborating on a series of
vampire novels. Yes, that is *the* Nigel Bennett of _Forever
Knight_ fame. The first title will be _Keeper of the King_ in
which, in Elrod's words, they have "combined vampires with an
assassination attempt on the Canadian prime minister, the search
for the Holy Grail, Celtic deities, earth magic, and Native
American beliefs." It's coming from Baen Books in October 1996.

very much of it anyway so it would fall into his uncomfortable feeling of
showing himself. Besides, according to his interview he said it was because
he felt he needed time to build himself up a bit, not coz he had any yukkie

Yes, since it happened in the 17th century (judging by the costuming) it was a
flashback. Yes, it was from Nick's POV, but even our beloved Brick wouldn't
remember things *that* distortedly. The woman was definitely willing/eager
throughout. Absolutely *no* doubt about it. She practically threw herself at

The flashback was Nick's, as usual, but Nick generally has never lied about
anything and this girl is definitely a few bats short of a belfry. (Sp). She
want's Nick's head on a stick by her bed so it will be easier for her to
sleep days. Do you think this is a rational thought? I can see her being
angry for ending up the way she is and even for blaming Nick to a point, but
I believe she sees the "rape" as his taking advantage of the situation in
order to feed off of her, more than what the rape really implies.

I would have not noticed him, but that nose and mouth are destinctive. I
couldn't stop laughing because I caught myself peering into the TV from
only an inch away to confirm my suspicions. The accent was horrid;
almost shocking. Where did those dulcet tones go? i guess that's the
sign of a good actor.

For Dotti, and any other "excitable" ones <g>, I thought I'd share a quote
from a little FK fest last night. One friend had rented "First Knight,"
which, of course, we treated to an MST3K-style roasting. That was followed
by my copies of NiQ, SoB, and PotM. Now, throughout that miserable movie,
Heddy kept complaining about how awful Richard Gere's screen kisses look.
So, of course, I was just waiting for you-know-which scene in NiQ to turn
around and ask, "HE does it MUCH better, doesn't he?"
:)

Hello everyone in FORKNI-L land!!!
This is not a flame...just my little own little commentary on the HUGE influx
of mail from Saturday night....
Picture an ocean...I am swimming in it...I see the shore and try to reach it,
but a HUGE wave pushes me back out to further than I was before...This is how
I see my list mail experience :-). To further illustrate (those of you who
have AOL will understand) I watched my flash sessions (how I retreive mail)
go from being 2 minutes and some odd minues to 12 minutes an higher!! Talk
about cost! All the concern for "bandwith" and what have you went right out
the window! Now I have a good sense of humor and I did enjoyt the posts, but
I am sure some of us aren't laughing...You guys had me thinking I should go
"NO MAIL" for a while just to catch up! But I am *such* and email junkie,
there is no way I could bring myself to do it! :-)
I knew what was gonna happen when I saw the 'sure is quiet' posts...I began
pleading with my computer...please not more than 5 minutes...PLEASE!! I am a
student, and as much as I'd like to check email all the time I cannot, and
the lists sure weren't quiet for me!
So I thought I'd share and throw in my .02 ... Remember this is not a flame,
just a little commentary to be taken in a positive/humorous light.... After
all after all of last night's posts, I wanted to be done with school already
so I could partake in the delinquency!! Geez, even the assistane listowner
was in on it!! :-) Also I appologize if a number of people have already
said something like this...I just haven't been able to make it thru all my
incoming email!!! :-(
Okay, ObFK comment: I loved "Fever" especially Vachon in his first
hunger....he should have taken Tracy...that would have been fun! In my
opintion he doesn't vamp out as nicely as Nick....<VBG>...he looks kinda
scared (Vachon)...it made me laugh at first, but I still think Vachon is
hot...:-D~
