Subject: YKYB...
Hello everyone!
I had a YKYB recently and I just had to share.
I have never before seen an ep of Highlander (saw the original movie only);
well, I happen to have a spare mo during last sunday and turned on the TV --
HL was on. The ep was called "The Vampire," so I stuck around. Not long
into it, this guy gets murdered by a vampire and Duncan MacCloud sees the
murder and runs after him. Well, the murderer is this blond guy, so I start
yelling at the TV, "Hurry, Nick! Fly!" Well, after the commercial break,
the audience is introduced to the vampire -- yup, his name is Nicholas!!! I
nearly fell off the bed laughing -- I wonder if this was intentional by the
HL people.
Oh, and something else quaint happened to me today. I was talking with the
MIS guy at my work; he was doing a Web search and came across an FK
reference which he pulled up -- he has never seen the show, but he *knew*
what the page was about (including most of the factions mentioned) all
because of me.<g> I still can't get him to borrow a tape though -- he's
just too busy -- but I will keep trying. I really think he *would* like the
show! Well, just thought I would share a happy happenstance.

Subject: Etc and Tippi don't go!!!
Some random notes I thought I'd post all at once rather than in snippets.
First Tippi and Dotti don't you DARE leave this list. Tippi's wicked humor is
one of the things I missed most from this list when I left and look forward
to now. WAAAAHHH!!! And Dotti? How can I forget her and her daughters
reaction to Ger in "Taming of the Shrew" and she gives great hugs. ( Dotti I
was the short blonde who wanted to see " Love you to death" but went to bed
instead because it was 4:30 am).
How's the paper crane campaign doing? I was so glad I mentioned it, it being
my only fruitful contribution to the SOS drive. Keep sending them I guess.
Sony MUST have a response to it.
Did anyone post a quote list for the Shrewthering? and is there a list for
the Gerthering information?
I believe it was Vanguard who suggested a Virtual season. Well gang how about
it?
I suppose once LK airs the spoilers list will be passe. can we discuss the
eps on this list after the last show or what? Just asking.
And remember boy and girls, TPTB may have done the show in but we know real
art when we see it. And will buy merchandise connected with it!!!
Bawhahahahaha!!!! chortle, snort.

Subject: If someone else wrote FK
If Allen Ginsberg wrote FK, Nick and Lacroix would become homosexually
involved (Hmmm....), Nick would give up his job as a cop and read poetry
while high off the acid tab he had just injested.
If Sylvia Plath wrote FK, Nick would kill himself because, after all, he
is guilty for the deaths of so many. He would do this by exposing himself
to daylight and then falling off a bridge so that his body would never be
found.
If Kafka wrote FK, Nick would slowly evolve into a cow, and we would
experience his thoughts as he changed; ultimately other vampires would
recoil in terror at his metamorphosis
IF Camus wrote FK, Lacroix would remain virtually the same, while Nick,
alone in an alley one night, would kill a mortal, but not know why. He
would conclude that death is irrelevant and that there is no right and
wrong, and so would kill again.
IF Salinger wrote FK, Nick would have sex with a prostitute he was arresting,
and then feel awkward about it later. He would also continue to fantasize
about Natalie, to no avail. Eventually, he would feel better about his life,
since he would realize that he is saving people now, instead of destoying
them. His angst would end.
IF the author of the Bible (God) wrote FK, Nick would ask for forgiveness
and then go about converting vampires to his new way of life.

You should consider yourself lucky that people are even *responding*
to your posting if that should ever happen - we all lead busy lives and
computer subscriptions lists, no matter how fascinating, are just one part
of them!
What I have found wonderful about the lists is the number and
disparity of all the different posters.....people write off of farms and
from large cities; some are 16 and some are 60, the walks of life we come
from is astounding, from students to molecular biologists, doctors, nurses,
accountants, attorneys to....librarians (hi all!) :) We have people who
inspect mines (G-d, Christine, I would *love* to meet you once) and others
who climb mountains! We have all races, religions and both sexes (including
some in-between! - NOT a flame...ducking)
We even have people whose main goal seems to be making this list
controversial! Hey, I enjoy them too! It is a treat to meet all of you
through the power of words and computers--- isn't technology a wonderful thing?
Now, on the list, we have the new interest of other authors
scripting Forever Knight and how it would turn out - see, everyone, topics
come and go, interests wane and wax, and no one, and I mean NO ONE, has to
feel left out - we should all try to come up with threads others would enjoy
participating in, or reading about!
Oh yes, Forever Knight - won't it be wonderful when there are no episodes
still left on spoiler and no one will have to worry about making *that*
particular mistake? OK, I like to look on the bright side of everything -
and no, I am not a Perkulator!

If FK were written by JRR Tolkien Nick and Nat would be on a quest to destroy
his vampirism at the mouth of a vulcano while fighting evil Orcs led by
LaCroix. Tracy is a happy little hobbit, of course. Vachon and Urs are wood
elves, out to assist at various and sundry times. Reese would be an Ent. Of
course, Schanke would NOT be dead, like Gandolf, he would reappear in a new
set of clothes. Janette would be a Rivendale dweller who, like Elrond, would
give occassional arcane advise.
Just an idle addition to the game.

Subject: If someone else wrote the FK Script
Here's a new twist to an old idea:
IF Nick wrote FK, he would immediately find a cure for his predicament,
become human again, and settle down with Nat, who would fall madly in
love with him.
IF Lacroix wrote FK, Nick would succumb to his vampire nature, and realign
himself with his master. They would go hunting together, etc. They would
find that Fleur was not dead, that she had been brought across by Lacroix
daughter. Lacroix and Fleur would hook up. Nick would take Nat, turning
her also into a vampire, and they would all become one, big, happy,
possibly bisexual family.
If Tracy wrote FK (God help us all) Vachon would become a famous rock singer
AND he would bring her over.
If Nat wrote FK, she would not only find a cure for Nick's disease, but for
Aids, Cancer, etc. She would become a world-famous doctor and she and
Nick would get married.
Do we have any volunteers to elucidate upon Vachon if he wrote the script?

Subject: If FK was written by other authors...
If FK was written by--
Raymond Chandler-- Schanke would have been the private eye, Nick would have
been the partner who mysterious vanished, and nobody would have questioned
the fact that Janette had no last name and LaCroix had no first name for an
entire season. Oh, and the series would have been filmed <noire>.
Rogers & Hammerstein--Natalie would have been the engenue and have had the
opening number ("Nothing could be better than a dead body in a sweater in
the evening air--"), Nick would have been desperately in love with Natalie
but done a really bitchin' dance number with Janette (I see something
twenties-ish--red spangle flapper dress? For JANETTE, okay? This isn't OFF
Broadway), LaCroix would have had a wonderful number extolling the assets of
vampirism. Tracy and Vachon would have had a nice subplot and at least one
duet. And the final number would have been a show-stopper in which Nick
gets Nat, Janette leaves with LaCroix and . . . oh, shoot, sorry--that's
Lerner & Lowe.
Andrew Lloyd Webber--Ditto above, but with really expensive sets, a book
that doesn't make any sense but sound real pretty if you sing it fast
enough, and something on stage, probably LaCroix, goes on fire at least once
before the end. He'd probably try to fit a helicopter in there, too.
Re: people not answering questions--don't forget that many people are on

time I've seen it, that person's message has been answered a hundred times
either via private e-mail or digest and they don't need me clogging their
mail box" or "Gotta remember to answer that when I finish reading the
digest" and then forget after another fifteen to twenty messages.
Not everything will be answered or addressed. If you <want> something
answered, don't get snarky. Simply ask again. Sometimes questions and/or
comments get lost in the bulk of a digest. And consider breaking up
questions. If you ask five questions in one post, you may only get an
answer to one or two.

It is a hard "G", which is a "G" like in Gary. Also, Ger rhymes with
pear or hair, and the accent in Geraint is on the first syllable. So,
I guess Geraint is the Welsh form of the name, Gary, or, Gary is the
English or American form of Geraint.

There are two events that Preta might be mixing up.
In August, there will be a Forever Knight mini-con (called "The Search for
Blood") as part of the Toronto Trek convention. (Hence, it's in Toronto.
<g>) I think they're having a charity auction, but I don't think that's
the main focus of the event. It's billed as having "guests, parties,
panel topics that excite, guests, a Raven social club, guests, a Vampire
laire... and guests." So I suppose that means they're having guests!
This mini-con is being organized by the Forever Knight Canada fan club.
In October, there will be an event in San Francisco billed as a charity
auction and fan wrap party. It's called "Bridging the Knight" and it's
organized by the Nigel Bennett Fan Club and I think the Boston-based
Forever Knight fan club. (?) I got the impression that the auction is
the main focus of this event, so it's probably what Preta was thinking
about.
More info on both of these events can be found at:
http://www.hu.mtu.edu/~gjwalli/FK/Fan_Stuff/conventions.html
If you're webless and want the info, you can e-mail me off-list and I can
probably download a text version of the info from the web page and
forward it to you.
Hope that helps!

road trip to Vegas. "Sympathy For the Devil" would play over and over for
3,000 miles, but no one would notice because they would all be in a drug
induced haze and rambling incessantly about huge purple bats, dive bombing
the car. Vachon would sit perfectly still, blinking occasionally; Nat and Urs
would be topless and hopping from the front to back seat chugging tequila and
raw ether; Nick would have the pedal to the metal, swerving recklessly while
trying to balance a six foot water bong on his knee; and LC....he would
whammy the cop that pulls them over outside of Provo into believing they just
a car load of Mormon missionaries and that the 50 bottles of blood in the
drunk were indeed the blood of Christ.
Gotta love Hunter S.!

Subject: IRC/This list
We had a great time last night! At least I thought so! <G> The response in
the channel seemed positive too! I hope that more of you will join us!
The channel name is #foreverknight and it is on the Undernet
The channel is manned by a "bot" called "X" and will be there all the time.
Please don't mess with X, he gets testy and we'll have problems!
Please visit often and Faction leaders..please get in touch so that you may
get your times set for having faction meetings. This is NOT my channel..it
belongs to all of you!
I hope that someone will have a get-together there this weekend for those
that aren't able to attend a "Last Knight" party...(Garrett wants to know
WHY we call it a party?!)
The program that I like to use to access IRC is called mIRC and can be
downloaded for free off the Web. Its easy to install and has some fun features.
If you aren't sure if you have IRC capabilities, check with your sysop. Its
my understanding from speaking to the Tech support people at AOL, that IRC
is capable of being run off of AOL, you would just have to check with them.
As far as the list, I echo all the fine words of my fellow listers. I don't
believe this list is dying at all,growing pains maybe, but not dying.
My only 2 cent comment...for those that are upset that someone flamed them
or dumped on them, just remember that for each of those people who may have
had a bad day and flamed you or are just not nice people, there are hundreds
of us here that do care and like having you here. Don't let the squeaky
wheel get the best of you and don't let a few unhappy people force you away
from those that care about you!
TO LAURIE FENSTER: You have "brought across" another Dr Who fan! Garrett
loved it!
I think you background helped a great deal in his understanding of the story
line and made it easier to enjoy!

Subject: beta reader wanted
I'll keep this short. :)
I'm looking for a couple of beta readers who have a bit of time (and
patience, and editing skills... ) in the next couple of days.
The story's fairly long (16 parts), and I'd like to post it to the
fkfic-l list on Fri/Sat in order to get it in before Last Knight airs and
I get too depressed. <g>
It's yet another FK/HL crossover. :)

Subject: If FK was written by other authors...
If FK was written by Tom Clancy: Nick would work for the CIA instead of
the Toronto PD and would be involved in helping the Russian vampire
LaCroikov defect along with his submarine (the Black October, of
course). Technical details giving insight into the workings of the
Russian military would be given in Oncle's flashbacks, and Nick would
have to brief the President about the status of the mission. When the
President finds out about vampires, the Enforcers show up and kill him.
Schanke (real name unknown) sets out on a personal mission of revenge to
hunt down the killers using his skills as an ex-Green Beret and
part-time deli owner. Each episode would consist of 20 different
subplots, seemingly unconnected at first, until there is only 15 minutes
left, when everything would fall into place!

Subject: A List Thank You
I have lurked on list for over a year and I want to thank the people
who run the list and the people who write to the list for being here.
It's nice to have a place where one can read a different point of
view or an interesting tidbit of info. I don't always have something
to say but I love hearing what others do. The list is a great way to
connect with FK and the people who really love the show. This list
also proves that people really can pull together for something that
they believe in. Even though FK might be cancelled, I know I can
always come here to help keep it alive.
I just wanted to send a cheerful thought to everyone now that the
stress of the end is near.

Subject: Re: New Game: If FK was written by other authors...
Here's a take on Nat's idea about merging with another show:
What if Forever Knight merged with Dr. Who:
Nick would be jumping from time period to time period searching for a cure.
Of course, Natalie would be the highly intelligent and beautiful lady
helping him along the way.
From time to time they would run into LaCroix, an evil time lord-vampire.
And, we can not forget, Nick would offer all friends "gummy hemoglobins,"
which, by the way, help him stay off blood.
Anyone else?

Subject: If someone else wrote FK
If Spider Robinson wrote FK:
Every scene would take place at the Raven. Everyone would call Miklos
"Mike" (this would work--lord knows Miklos never mixed up the
orders...), none of the mortals would ever get hangovers because the
vamps would filter the alcohol out of their bloodstreams for them, the
Nightcrawler's monologues would become Tall Tales, "Doc" Lambert would
find herself labelled the world's best/worst punster, and Nick would
realize that if he just talked about his angst enough, everything
would be okay!
