I didn't feel Janette was at all happy about her envolvement in that little
scene. (Bad Blood) LaCroix was pretty menacing. And when Nick left
the Raven Janette gave LaCroix's direction (Not really Him) a subtle
look of annoyance.
If Janette's going to play a game, I think she prefers it be of her own
choosing. I think she's holding back more than just a little piece of her
mind in that instance. Just my view.

Hi Everyone,
Just thought you'd like to see the response I received from the SciFi

BTW, It's great to be back. I've been gone since March 28th and I missed

That thought *has* crossed my mind, you know. Although I keep NB and LC
quite separate in my brain and in my referrences (and in my thongs!), I
have this lurking fear that one day I will meet NB at a con and someone
will say, in a cheerful voice, "She started the Thong Throng, you know."
And I will die.
Simply... die.
To clarify: I claim the Thong Throng as my own, true enough. But
someone else started the whole Thong in the first place, and if I go

All these examinations on LaCroix! Goodness! All the negatives, the
positives... Reasons why people like him, why they hate him... It's
been very interesting reading. ;)
I don't care what LaCroix does. I don't care if he horsewhips Nick or
puts on a red wig and calls himself Lady Flamenco. The guy digs what he
is and makes the most of it.
I like angsty LaCroix -- BMV, AMPH especially! I like LaCroix Lite,
too. But I looove the Wickedest LaCroix even more. Call me sadistic,
but I just love that scene in Curioser and Curioser when he beats the
stuffing out of Nick. Sure, he looks like a Rockette doing high kicks,
but he's having SO MUCH FUN! Someone in this vast world oughtta be
having fun. ;)

The idea of LC and hobbies made me chuckle. It's hard to picture
LC having a hobby. If I had to guess, I would say:
LC's hobbies -
1. Torturing Nick
2. Torturing Janette
3. Torturing mortals
4. Torturing other vampires
5. Keeping track of military history (old generals die hard -
or in LC's case - not at all)
6. Reading and memorizing what he reads (after all, those cool
quotes come in handy)
But I would like to think he also has at least one secret
hobby that no one knows about lest it shed some light on
the tender side of LC like:
7. Knitting or playing department store Santa every Christmas
(I can just picture it: LC hanging up his Santa suit and
hiding his knitting needles just before an argument with
Nick during which he says "Nicolas, there are many things
about me you will never know.") Hey, stop laughing, it
could happen ;-)

From: Annmarie McKee- Fitzgerald <mickey@c.......>
Subject: LaCroix
I think that I am probably going to be in disagreement with the popular view
here, but I do feel that FK' s vamps are bound by the same morals as humans,
if only by their own allowance of it.
There were humans and they carry the same baggage that the rest of us do and
they are a product of their upbringing.
Did LC possibly bring Janette across because he was atoning for the
*possible* numerous times that he enjoyed a brothel? By making her what she
is, he gave her the ultimate power to seek her own revenge. Possibly he was
angry for the destruction of Pompei, maybe he felt that you have to take
matters into your own hands, as many people have when they feel abandoned by
their God or "god" whichever the case might be..uh, goddess even <G>
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do" has LC not adapted himself ultimately to
his lifestyle?
Much as say people (mortals) do every day? How many go to a Catholic Church
on Sunday for Mass, yet use birth control? We (mortals) always seem to make
exceptions to the rules. And I don't think that we are seeing anything
different here. They are just humans who are no longer mortal.
As far as LC's "control" over Nick. I think that just like a human father,
he sees Nick as the continuation of his blood line. He wants Nick to be the
very best vampire that he can be. I think though that in SoB, that he was
given a rude awakening, when it was apparent that love was truly the driving
force in the universe. It was Nat's unconditional love that brought Nick
back around. And I still feel that he didn't believe a word of what Nick
said in BMV, he, LC, did not have any desire to destroy this love. He could
have done away with Nat at anytime, yet he didn't, he knew that he would
lose Nick then and it was best to lose him to Nat, yet retain his love than
to bring about his hatred.
I think of Nick as a rebellious teenager and I feel that LC does too. Nick
hasn't found his way yet. And granted, LaCroix is an overbearing parent.
But, Nick was handpicked. He did not appear to be a shy wallflower, but a
rambunctious, full blooded male, who thought nothing of going off to another
room with Janette in anticipation of her pleasures. And just as a child is
(generally) obedient and in admiration of their parents, Nick was just this,
the perfect son.
Enough ranting from me, I just decided to stop an enjoy this wonderful list
today instead of just scanning it for "stuff" for the loop. Thanks!

Subject: Whoo hoo!
A great big old whoo hoo at last!!! I finally got my FK soundtrack! Yippy.
Anyway, I'm just writing to inform you all that one of the best ways to
listen to it the first time through, once you get it, is during a
thunderstorm! It's like those drums just don't stop after the end of a
track. They just keep on going, shaking your house. Or so it will seem when
you listen to it while a storm is approaching. And if you want a sound *and*
light show, simply turn off the lights (or wait till the power goes out, and
only applicable to those who are listening on walkmans) and you can thrill to
the lightening flashing in time with the music! It's great. I think I've
figured out what mood it best fits. Fear. Very effective when you're
worrying if that next bolt of lightening is going to hit your house or not.
Try it while listening to some of those Forward into the Past selections.
You'll see what I mean. Oh, it helps if your tv picks a good point during
your listening pleasure to spookily click on and off without your touching
anything (power surge probably.)
Thanks to Fred, again, for making this soundtrack a very fan friendly affair!

Most seem to agree that LaCroix is more than just a villain now.
He has done horrible things to Nick and others, yes, but he is very
compelling nevertheless. Still, even though LC has "redeeming
qualities", I can't approve of everything he's done--that's why I
wouldn't feel comfortable calling myself a "True" Cousin. Luckily
for me, Amy stepped in with her faction for people who like the
idea of LaCroix embracing his humanity, and here I am. Paula sees
Light Cousinhood as something slightly different than Amy envisions--
which is interesting to me. There are so few of us, yet we evidently
have quite diverse POVs. I guess it's just a reflection of the
quality of the listmembers....
I also agree with what Amy noted earlier: LC is nowhere near to
admitting his humanity--he'd perceive it as a weakness. And we all
know General "I serve no one" Lucius admits no weaknesses. :)

Actually, it's a way for people with small mailboxes and/or
a lack of time to get all of the listposts in one convenient
package, instead of individually. So you receive, for
example, 3 FORKNI-L digests instead of 120 individual posts.

Excuse the lateness of this response - the old digests-piling-up syndrome!
From: Tanya Smith <bodybldr@v.......> on Wed. Apr. 17:
>>But what I was arguing is what makes one Catholic? Attending the Catholic
church? That's like saying a Baptist is a person who attends the Baptist
church.<<
I consider myself Catholic by baptism, faith and belief in a set of dogmas,
though I do not, by choice, attend mass any longer because of my difficulties
with the institution. Therefore I believe attendance does not determine
association with a particular belief system. "Catholicism" to me means far,
far more than membership in a particular church. I believe that Nick still
adheres to the basic theological tenets of the church of his mortal life, and
is therefore essentially a Catholic.
>>The issue is much deeper than that. It involves identification with
theology, morality, etc established by a denomination.<<
I highly agree - see above. In "Sons of Belial", Vanderwahl states that Nick
has faith, and in "For I Have Sinned" it is obvious that Nick has a basic set
of beliefs that follow some of Catholic theology. It's not a modern
perspective of Catholicism by any means, or he wouldn't be caught up in his
belief that he must win redemption by atoning for his sins, kinda like
racking up points. Someone else stated (thanks, whomever this is) that all
Nick really needs to do to "win" redemption is repent for his sins. He's
already done this. But he just doesn't think this way because of his
medieval perspective. A medieval Catholic perspective.
But I think Nick's basic mind set is that of a Catholic. My basic mind set
is of a Catholic - I was a "cradle Catholic" (baptised as an infant) as he
was. I believe things about God and stuff in a Catholic way that has nothing
to do with whether I ever step inside a church again.

>>I think the 3rd season designer doesn't have a clue (or working eyes). She's

Are we watching the same third season?? (Just teasing) Far more than either
of the other seasons Nick is wearing dark, dark, dark clothes, except maybe
for what you referred to in "Black Buddha". But no more white shirts, and
hardly any vests (have there been vests?). Black or very dark shirts and
sweaters and the ever-present black jacket and slacks. Just the light blue
jeans on rare occasion have been the only break from the wardrobe darkness
this season.
Which I think is totally suitable to a vampire (Uncle must approve, I would
think) but not necessarily to Nick. Trying for mortality this season?
WHERE??? He dresses like a vampire, he uses his vampire powers freely (of
course, he's always done that - ever notice how Nick is really good at being
a vampire?), he's even been drinking human blood this season. My message to
Nick: "Just get over it, Nicky baby, and live! You repent, you'll be

Ya know, I just declared myself a Knightie the other day, but I think I'm
beginning to have Cousinly tendencies...not because I like LaCroix, per
se, but because you guys sure have a way with words!
Then again, I haven't slept in a very long time...everything is becoming
very funny. I made the drastic mistake of rewatching Curiouser and
Curiouser in this state...unfortunately, it inspired what will be my first
post to FKFIC, if I can get my mind focused enough to figure out how
to format the puppy.

I'd have to say that LaCroix's hobbies would be (in no particular order)
1. teaching military strategy to psychopaths (remember, he's said things
about teaching Ghengis Khan and Nero). Actually, the thing that really
surprised me about 'Father Figure' was that he was with the allies, as
opposed to whispering suggestions in Hitler's ears.
2. Trying to decide if blondes really do have more fun. Hey, it would ex-
plain the flashback problems from the first season!
3. Reading childrens literature...Lewis Carroll, Beatrix Potter, Dr. Seuss...
4. Collecting military uniforms. Think of all the different uniforms we've
seen him in.
5. Playing lots and lots of chess...he just uses the world for his chessboard,
and its inhabitants for his pieces.
Actually, I think LaCroix's main hobby is that of experimentation. Everyone
we've seen him bring across, was generally brought across to see how
they and the world around them would deal. He brought Janette across
to see how a woman who lusted for revenge and escape would handle it,
Nick was his disallusioned crusader. There was the 'mad monk Rasputin,'
because he wanted to bring over a holy man; Alexandra, because he
wanted to see how Nick would deal with it: Daniel, because of his youth;
Jack the Ripper, because he was fascinated by his evil, etc. etc.
'Nuff already.

I hope I'm responding in the right way, if not, please let me know.
I have one question for any of you who know about Canadian law. In the Dark
of Night, at the end, Nat says she'd have to "take the fifth" if anyone asked
her if she'd had an experience with ghosts. I know in the US, people can
"take the fifth" in court to protect themselves against self-incrimination.
Do Canadians have the same option under their law?

Let us not forget the turtleneck and jeans in the tag of GVP.
And the Staypuffed Marshmellow suit. And the caftan in the flashbacks in FI.
And the knee breaches in DoN. And..well you get the idea.

Actually I believed he was always more than a villian. In first season we
just weren't given the opportunity to see that other side of him. I mean
we only saw him in *Nick's* flashbacks, so they were kinda bias.

Absolutely, no disagreement here.

My point exactly, he has done some rotten things in the past, but
looking beyond those events, you see a very well-hidden side, and it
is that side, his "human" side, so rarely shown, that makes LC so compelling
and intriguing. This is where Light Cousinhood, I think, emerged from.

Lucky for all of us, indeed!! :-)

I think if we all agreed, this list would become pretty boring after a
while, but since we all have varied opinions this list has no chance of
ever becoming boring!!

Exactly, but even though he will never admit it, we all know it's there,
and in fanfiction we can delve into those weaknesses all we want.

You are driving down the highway and see a semi truck reading
"Knight Transportation" and suddenly wonder Where is Nick going?
And why does he need such a large truck?
Then you do a little dance because you hope he's moving to Houston!

Subject: Sydicon East
Hello all!
I would like to know if anyone on the List who is going to Syndicon East has
room in their room for one non-smoking non-snoring fan. I can't swing the
$125 per night room charge alone but am more than willing to split it with a
couple of others! Only problem is that I wouldn't be getting to the
Conuntil really late Friday night (I am only buying the one day for Saturday
and would be off early Sunday morning due to personal commitments on that
day.) Still anyone who is going that would like to share, please Email me
off-list okay?
I will be off-list from Firday - Sunday (the weekend of the Shrewthering)
because the laptop will *not* be joining me in Canada. I intend to travel
light for once <vbg>.
Hope to seem lots of FORKNI-Lers and Fang Gang members at the weekend!
C - YA!!
