Subject:      NB's views on The Relationship

Cousin Tippi posted,
<<someone forwarded me an excerpt of an interview with NB in a zine (I forget
now) where, although he never comes right andsays yay or nay or the sex
issue, he does leave it more open.>>

     You might be referring to a interview NB did for one of the fan club
zines, some time before second season,  in which he said that in his own
conception, LaCroix was so old and experienced that he no longer has any
interest in the physical act with anybody. That is a plausible idea, and
jibes with the voyeurism that we have seen LaCroix display on several
occasions.
      However, the Fleur episode (BMV) establishes as canon that LaCroix had
conventional heterosexual interests around the time that Nick was brought
over. At least, there is no suggestion from Nick that LC only wants to bring
his sister across in order to preserve her intelligence and beauty. One can
only retroactively square this with NB's take on LC by saying that LC lost
interest in sexual intercourse some years later. Since the Fleur episode
occurs shortly after Nick was brought across, the notion that LC had a
physical passion for Nick in the early years of their companionship cannot be
ruled out by canon.
       I absolutely reject the Fleur FB from my __personal__ canon. IMHO,
LC's behavior throughout BMV is out of character and the whole script was a
flatfooted attempt to straighten LC out because TPTB were nervous about
having a (IMHO) bisexual lead character. Can't blame them much; it would have
been a first for commercial TV. In the first season, after DK,  LC appeared
only in brief flashbacks in two thirds of the episodes, so his unstated
sexual orientation wasn't such a major issue. I forgive TPTB, because the
sparks between Nat and LaCroix in the restaurant made BMV worthwhile. But in
my universe, the thing with Fleur never happened.
      Isn't it weird that not only are gay actors pressured to stay in the
closet if they want to get work, but an actor who manages to convey a
character's queerness by body language alone would have to finesse his views
about his __interpretation__.? That's the way it looks to me, anyway; I know
that many people on the list, including perhaps Mr. Bennett himself, don't
see it that way.
      BTW, the revival of this topic inspired me to write a short piece of
slash with S/M overtones. I posted it to JADFE, but I can also email a copy
to anyone else who wants it.

No, actually that's reasonably typical of the entertainment industry in
general.  You start anywhere you can get your foot in the door, and move in
any direction you can from there.

I know that sounds strange, but that *is* how it works.  Remember, Carrie,

Nope.  A Fate Worse Than Death was aired second and filmed second.  In any
case, it's earlier than Bad Blood no matter what episode timeline you
subscribe to.

Gillian said the Bad Blood scene was a screw up.

Some of us believe Bad Blood was a screw up too.

I thought about it, (REALLY I did) but I decided that I had better stay
home and tape LK myself. (Besides, the emotional voltage of the party

Don who? <innocent expression> Sounds familiar. Didn't I see that name
in an FK zine somewhere? If by some weird cosmic coincidence our ideas
appear to be VAGUELY similar, it can only be a case of great minds
thinking alike! Speaking of fanfic ideas, here is a new one that I call
"2020 Visions."
 ---
One of the principles of reincarnation is the idea that groups of people
tend to reincarnate together in order to resolve "unfinished business"
between them. Since many of the main characters die within a year of
each other, it is easily conceivable that they would all be reincarnated
within the same period. And maybe in the same place.

"Nicodemus Kramer has been having a series disturbing dreams for the
last few months.  And he is not alone; ever since he went to this new
night club with his friends, they all have all had nightmares of another
life, in another place, as other people.  Lucas Cross, one of the owners
of the club, claims to have the answers - answers that he will provide,
but only at a price..."

The CHALLENGE: Reincarnate ALL the regular cast casualties of season 3 as
young adults in the year 2020. Survivors and/or their children may also
appear, but remember the story is about the reincarnates.

Hmmmm, I have noticed this to a minor degree myself...Of course, I had
been following the Save-FK page ever since it was put up back in late
December when the first rumors spread about the cancellation but I
didn't join FORKNI-L til a couple months after that and missed all
the personal feelings and ideas that I'm sure everyone was displaying.
I suppose I could be considered a newbie(I believe a couple people think
of me as that) but don't really feel like one anymore.

I don't really have a point except to agree that the SOS-FK campaign
seems to have really stalled...It appears that 'hits' on the page have
slowed quite a bit, as well...(probably because the page hasn't been
updated since April 1st) I've been posting a couple ideas and questions
concerning future efforts recently in an attempt to get some more
juices flowing. I believe what we need is a way to reach the normal "viewer"
as well as the advertisers, media, etc... Even if "we" as a group here
are working on ideas to bring back the show(in whatever form we're given)
I think it's important to provide normal fans with evidence that
Something, *anything* is still going on...and that we show TPTB that
it wasn't just a temporary surge of support, but rather it is
continuing refusal to accept defeat. Amazing things have happened from
our support so far...Surely even more amazing things are to come...

Oh, well....It's way too late to be dwelling on this right now as I'm
getting incredibly tired and I'm probably rambling too much anyway.  :)

The SOS-FK PO Box sents information to anyone who writes in.  It goes out
monthly.  (Biweekly is just a little bit too much).  June's edition is
currently in the works.

The only bumper stickers that are available are fan made.  (Someone correct
me if I'm wrong)   There is no merchandise (that the general public has been
allowed to buy.) that has the Tri-Star stamp of approval.  THIS IS WHY YOU
NEED TO WRITE TO TRI-STAR.  No matter which other companies, sponsors, etc.
you write to, TriStar is the one that has FK tucked in it's pocket.

Make sure that your letters are polite and carry a return address.  I have
received some letters from people thinking that the SOS-FK po box was
TriStar's ear and they were saying that they were never going to watch the
show again, etc.  THIS IS THE WRONG TACK TO TAKE.    BE POLITE.  (Other
letters I have forwarded on to TriStar.  Letters like these head straight
for the trash bin.)

And for those people who don't have spell checkers or are hand writing:
CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND YOUR GRAMMAR.   If you have a hard time with those
things, GET SOMEONE TO PROOFREAD YOUR LETTER.  You are writing to
professionals and you want to appear professional, as well.

Everytime you write to someone else, write to TriStar also.   Let them know
that you are still here, wanting more Forever Knight, wanting Forever Knight
Merchandise, wanting Forever Knight on video.

When the Forever Knight CD arrives at record stores, make sure you go to the
store and buy one or more.  If your record store doesn't carry it, ask for
it.   Special order it.

For those people who have information about the Save Forever Knight on their
Web pages:  Please update your page to remove references to SONY'S POSTCARD

No.  Miklos is definitely not Jewish.  Gillian Horvath wrote to me after I
posted my Miklos story "Revenge" and told me that Miklos was definitely
intended to be a classic Hungarian/Transylvanian vampire.

Whether you believe Miklos is a vampire depends on whether you choose to
trust Gillian Horvath, who created the character, or rely on the error made
by the person who wrote Bad Blood.  Traditionally, we've chosen to accept
Gillian's viewpoint because Miklos is, after all, her creation.

Subject:      SOS-FK

I rushed over to the psychology graduation party yesterday (free food and
all, ya know) only to find that I had missed it.

But this one woman was sitting, hanging out, talking with a friend when she
spotted my Forever Knight Crew pin.  Dropped the conversation with her
friend immediately and followed me up as I went to see what dregs I could
scrounge up from the food table while they were cleaning it up.

She is a *huge* fan (a huge Vachon fan I might add).  Wasn't happy with
"Ashes to Ashes" and "Last Knight" at all (no spoilers, please) and seemed
to think the show and the characters were a lost cause.  I soon disabused
her of that notion and send her on her merry way with tons of flyers and info.

As for myself, I wrote a slew of letters the other day to Sony, Sci-Fi, and
TriStar about Forever Knight.  I figure this week I'll visit Karen's web
page and send out a few letters to sponsors.  At the start of the year we
made an incredible effort and it took a lot of energy.  People needed a
break very badly, but it seems like people are getting in the mood again.
What's going to save us are letters and spreading the word that the campaign
is still ongoing.  Write a letter a month to USA/SFC.

I'm on the "Highlander" catalog list.  Hate the show, but I send every
catalog I get from them to Sony/TriStar and ask them why we can't have
something even remotely similar for "Forever Knight."

There *are* people out there who have no idea what we've done to save the
show, or even that we're still doing it.  Get flyers out.  Wear something
with the FK logo on it--I find more people that way than anything else,
particularly people who are not online.

Nope, I don't think that's the one...  In the excerpt *I* have, at least,
there's no mention of giving up sex out of boredom...  In fact, quite the
opposite.

What actors and directors and the writers say is interesting to me
personally and might convince me of these people's motives and lives for my
own personal sake.  But I don't use what they say as canon, even if it
*supports* what I'm saying.  Trust me, it's *very* tempting sometimes! ;)
It's the difference between talking about the *characters* of LC and NK and
the *people* LC and NK.  I'm trying to keep real life and TV life seperate,
ie. seperating characters (RL) from the entities (TV) they represent.

If we look at the *people* LC and NK, they are not characters, not
performers in a TV show, but an actual pair of vampires traipsing through
actual times in history.  (Which is tough for me at times because I don't
really believe in vampires.)  We have to look at *their* actions and *their*
words.  I said on the spoiler list something to the effect: "It's like
asking F. Scott Fitzgerald if Gatsby really loved Daisy, when the person we
*should* be asking is Gatsby." ;)

However, I personally get tickled over such interviews and comments like
"Lick face?"  I just don't use them in my arguments.  It's *so* tempting...

It *is* a good way to see things in a new light, though.  The actors and
directors and writers provide inights we might not be privy to.

Or one could square it by saying perhaps NB was still learning about LaCroix

It isn't necessary to be rich or in a syndicate to buy FK items. I've
heard of scripts going for as little as $35 or as much as over a $1000.
I've known of props going for under $100. I was shocked at Syndicon
East at the low prices.

The reason seemed to be that it was primarily a Highlander Con, so there
were fewer bidders on FK items. So there's one hint. Try an auction
at a con where there the emphasis is another show.

Last month he was in the Wiseguy T.V. movie.  Had a fairly

He also has a role in the upcoming movie "The Relic", which

This is true, and by the same rule, everything is going to go sky high in
October as the emphasis is going to be FK. So, either you kiss you credit
limit good-bye (vbg) or wipe out your life savings!!  I'd settle for a
touchy feely if it's a prop I can recognize. There's a way of making your
money back, offer $2.00 a rub (like the black buddah), $5.00 if they wanna
kiss it, $10.00 if it's a wearable item and the person wants to wear it
(like for a picture, ya know, I think I'd drop ten bucks to wear Nick's silk
pajamas, or one of his robes for a picture). :)

I think any further discussion on that idea has to go the MSKL list....

Just another little thing about how we've been getting the word out
beyond the Internet.  There have been and still are flyers about
the show.  The ones on the web may need to be updated with new
addresses, but we've been dumping those at book stores and other
places as well since January.  If someone wants to check out those
flyers and update them to make them available for everyone, go for
it.  It's a great way of getting information out to other fans.

Regarding newspapers and such, there have been four different news
releases that were written up by Cynthia with the help of a few
others and those have been sent to every major newspaper and
magazine that any of us could think of.  As a matter of fact, that
news release was titled "The Show That Would Not Die."  We had
started a list of newspapers, but since there are so many
newspapers and so many people sending stuff, I think that got
outdated rather quickly -- Tammy, you were doing that weren't you?
Anyway, we've had mentions in the New York Daily News; we've had
member letters printed in various SciFi magazines; we've had
interviews in numerous smaller papers around the country; we have
media kits that we've sent out.  We've hit the TV Guide and should
hit them again and each and every time they even mention shows that
have gone off the air and forget to mention FK.  We've hit Hard
Copy and other tv magazine type shows.  Believe me when I say, if
you weren't here in January, you missed a frenzy of manic activity
as we tried to get the rest of third season.

I think all this renewed enthusiasm is wonderful, but the one thing
that needs to be stressed is the one thing that set us apart from
all the other fan efforts and got us the most notice -- our
professionalism and organization.  We brainstormed and planned, but
above all, we stayed organized and tried to do the things that were
most feasible and disgarded those that were not.  At this point in
the game, as Susan and so many others have said, we need to be in
this for the long haul.  That means writing letters and letters and
more letters to advertisers, to Sony, to Tri-Star, to anyone we
think will look favorably on making a tv movie or whatever.

Now, I hate to be a downer and if I need to be flamed or no-mailed
for this, so be it, but above all, if you're planning on doing
anything with the news media or anyone else of importance, you need
to make sure you are totally familiar with everything that's been
done already.  Check out Jamie's webpage, ask for the SOS-FK FAQ,
talk to some of the people who've been in this since the beginning.
This is not the point in time of us to run around in disarray with
the right hand having no idea what the left hand is doing.  That,
IMHO, will hurt our campaign and the image that we've created more
than anything else.

Hello Canadians,

I've been wondering the same thing since there has been so many posts
mentioning the mysterious 6 minutes.  I think they will add insight to
the FK universe.
Would some kind Canadian soul be willing to make copies of the 1st
season (The only one with extra minutes, right?) I know this is a huge
request so I am more than willing to trade, barter, or bribe (and/or
all of the above)with anyone willing to make the offer.

Please E-Mail me in private to work out payment for tapes, and P&H to
Ohio. The land of the never ending road construction, second to none.
(Not even Pa.!!!) ;)  YIKES, I better get to the get-a-way car now! OH
NO!!!  All the roads out of town are "UNDER CONSTRUCTION".  What do I
do?  What do I *BANG/crunch/SPlat*!!!  ~Finis~

Natalie is romantically interested in him, and that romance can't happen
as long as Nick is a vampire.  If he decided he really didn't want to
change, she'd either have to decide she was content just being friends, or,
if she couldn't handle that, she'd have to leave.

And JK had a pretty respectable part in the "Wiseguy" made-for-TV-movie last
month. (I have it on tape if anyone is interested)

Newbie trouble: I was obliged to clean out my mailbox (nearly FIVE THOUSAND
messages--it took all day to mark and sort them, and overnight to delete
them! Never again!) and I am ashamed to say I lost some addresses, among
them LYNNE ACKERMAN'S ***Lynne, please check in! I want to order two copies
of "Littlest Hobo: Once Upon a Time" from the World's Biggest Bookstore so I
need their mailing address and telephone-order number, and I think you have
them. Thank you.***

force yourself not to run to him; you're walking behind a young man with
shaggy brown hair and, though you know it can't be Vachon, you follow him
longer than you have to until you can check out his face. Whew!
