I would say that Nick was a very uncommon thief. :-) In "Blood Money,"
we learn that Nick once conspired with the crown prince of France and
another thief (who referred to Nick as his apprentice) to defraud the king
of France by pretending to kidnap the Dauphin (French crown prince). They
did so, but Nick and the master thief promptly killed the Dauphin and ran
off with the money. Then Nick challenged his teacher to a duel for the
money, and lost. Nick, however, for some reason utterly without honor at
that point in time, went and killed the man vampirically, and took the
money anyway.
Nick feels terribly guilty about all of that now, of course.

I do, actually. <stomping foot> My name is Amy -- two syllables. Big,
red letters. Amy. Talk to Janette or LaCroix -- some of us were simply
not meant to have nicknames! :-)
Now, as to the plot device: of course it was. But, as I always say,
where's the fun in that? :-) Clearly, "Hunters" demonstrated that FK
vampires can and do ride horses. That would be logical anyway, because
throughout most of history, having horses freak out every time you come
near would have been dangerously conspicuous. Therefore, despite what
Nick and "Dr. Frakenstein" thought, the horses were spooked by something
other than Nick's presence.
The question is, what was it? Insect bite? Bad perfume? Opera critics? :-)
But while everyone is dredging their memories for "Hunters," would someone
please address LaCroix's willingness to abandon Janette? I don't know
what to make of it. He's always preferred Nick, but such disregard for
anything that belongs to him seems out of character. Could he have really
felt it was a choice between their lives and Janette's? (And no, saying
that he's evil isn't good enough, even in first season, even though he
often is.)

Subject: The name Lambert
Someone suggested that with the name Lambert, Nat might speak some
French. Lambert is not necessarily a French name. St. Lambert of
Maastricht was a popular medieval saint and the name was common in
the Middle Ages in England, Germany, and the Low Countries (which are
now Belgium and The Netherlands). In all of these countries, patronymic
surnames may be formed simply by using the unmodified name of the
father, so someone surnamed Lambert could be of English, Lowland
Scots or Irish (both with large English speaking communities and
English language surnames in the Middle Ages), German, Dutch or
Belgian descent.
All we know for sure about Natalie's ancestry is her statement in
Bad Blood that she has relatives in County Cork, Ireland and the
fact that one of her Grandmothers was Slavic, probably Russian or
Ukrainian. The latter comes from the fact that her grandmother called
her Natasha and was herself Grandmother Tash, an apparent shortening
of Natasha. It's ironic, but Nat seems to have been named for her
abusive grandmother.

I printed it out and gave copies of it to some newbie friends who are

strange looks from co-workers as they saw me snickering here at my

Back when I joined the fun (I Lurked during WAR I because *I* was a
newbie then!) it *was* alot smaller and less convoluted (although the
PLOTS were convoluted, we plotters still seemed to have all our screws
tigtened eough to keep things moving...!) but, as the List grew, so
did our Wars.
I'm looking forward to meeting some new folks during this next War.

Subject: Re: The name Lambert
Hello,
Again about Nat's last name. The last name Lambert is actually a
variation on Lambere, which in itself is a variation on the name
Lamberth. In Scotland, the clan Lambert was wiped out except for several
men who had been on a hunting/scouting voyage. These men left Scotland
and roamed Europe, leaving bastards with variations of their name all
over. During the potato famine in Ireland, many of the Irish left
Ireland to Canada and the US, so Nat could be from either place. As to
her speaking French, I haven't a clue.

Janette also calls him Nick in Curiouser & Curiouser. For some
reason, and I haven't rewatched any episodes lately, I think
Janette usually calls him Nick if she's rather annoyed with him.
She seems to call him Nicola(s) as a sign of affection and when she
wants him to know he's acting like a jerk -- Nick :)

If I remember correctly, the psychic (Dying to Know You?) also got some of

looking wide-eyed and decidedly *green*--what the heck ep is that from,

Blackwing was one of the first eps I ever saw, long before I realized there
might be some sort of relationship between N&N. I thought Nat's reaction
was just that of the exasperated scientist faced with ridiculously
non-scientific evidence. On watching it again, after I got more of a feel
for how Nat really feels about Nick, I thought she was remarkably
good-natured about the whole thing. Personally, I'd have done something
unspeakable to the little cheater if he managed to do with another mortal
what he insisted he couldn't do with me--and then came to me all happy to
discuss the sordid details! I think maybe his behavior reminded Nat a
little too much of how he acted in The Fix--punch-drunk and lacking his
usual discretion--and she was trying to get him to behave sensibly.
Non-cautious vampires are rather a danger, both to themselves and to
everyone around them.

That surprised me, too. I finally decided that LaCroix was trying to
penetrate her paralyzing fear by making her mad enough to save herself
instead of waiting for him or Nick to help her. We all know that there's an
underlying or hidden purpose in much of what LC says or does; perhaps this
is just another example.

I think that's enough.
In AtA, Nick stakes Divia and she seems to be dying pretty quickly.
(in the flashback in NinQ, when LC is staked he is dying *very*
slowly, how come Divia who is so much stronger goes so much faster?
Hmmm?) Anyway, I was under the assumption that although staking
kills a vampire, they resurrect as soon as the stake is removed.
Isn't that old vamp lore? Isn't that what we saw in NinQ? LC
was fine once the stake was removed by Nick, yes?
Then how come at the end of AtA, Nick kills Divia with a stake,
but when LC goes to burn her body and scatter the ashes to the
wind, the stake has been removed from her body, but she's still
dead? Shouldn't she have revived when the stake was removed
by LC prior to burning her?
It has been bothering me - the reason why she stayed dead with
no stake, no beheading (again) etc.
Also, why would LC have enough bandages handy to wrap Divia as
a mummy prior to burning? For what reason would LC even have
bandages on him or in the Raven? I know, as Janette told
Schanke, the Raven caters to the occasional fetishes...but
mummy bandages?
Mental image: LC searching through a closet, pushing an
old bust of himself out of the way, tossing Roman coins,
and every calendar he had from 1718 to 1995 over his shoulder
until he straightens up and holds a box marked "mummy bandages"
in front of him. He remarks, "A-ha! Knew they were in there."
To which Nick answers, "You're a packrat, LaCroix. Don't you
ever throw anything away?"
"Waste not, want not, Nicolas. You never know when something
will come in handy. They don't make them like this anymore."
LC calls over his shoulder as he goes in search of where Nick
left Divia's body.
Hmmm...either that or LC had to find an all-night medical
supply store and with a straight face say, "I need bandages
and lots of them."

Yes, we _have_ to. Although the Charter itself (and yes, we *do* have one)
is available only to members, I can inform you that we are the most
regulated and self-enforcing faction around. (Think Hell's Angels--
they may look real scary and lawless, but they keep they're own in
line in a serious way.) We have procedures for the filing, investigation,
and determination of grievances, and the sentencing and punishment of
offenders. (Even for the impeachment of the GHP-- although I can't
*imagine* why we'd ever need *that*... <g>.)
Yes, we got more than a little obsessive about it.
But it makes for a really nifty Charter and, well...

in-between them. <wg>

Yes, you must be subscribed to the fiction list to get the "real" war
posts. But there is no rush, the war does not officially start until July
13. Though the stories posted there are often very good; they are well
worth reading.
Subcribe by sending to "LISTSERV@p......." (no quotes, no subject),
and "SUBSCRIBE FKFIC-L <your name>", in the body of the message.
There are several TOPICS on FKFIC-L, the default ones are "ALL, -ADULT",
this means you automatically get all the available topics EXCEPT the
"ADULT" topic.
The Topics available on FKFIC-L are: WAR, XOVER, ADULT, (and
"other"--"other" being all posts without recognized topics in the subject
line) .
If you wish to receive only the WAR: posts, send to
"LISTSERV@p......." (no quotes), with "SET FKFIC-L TOPICS: -ALL, +WAR"
(this should work, though I haven't tried it to make sure)
One problem with getting only war posts is that some posts accidently get
sent without the proper "WAR:" topic, you might miss out on the occasional
post. It should not be a problem anyway, once the war starts very little
non-war fiction gets posted (i.e, most of the people who write the stories
are active in the war, and all that creativity is directed toward the war
effort)
Make sure to NOT include a signature when sending anything to the Listserv
address (all that extra stuff confuses the hamsters that run the machine).
I agree with all the people who suggested everyone read at least parts of
previous wars before taking part in this one. There is a certain amount of
continuity in the wars, mostly in people making great efforts to "get back"
at those who got them in a previous war (all in good clean fun of course).

Hi Marcia,
I think Nat reacted the way she did to Nick's "cure," because she felt
jealous. First, she was jealous, because Marian supposedly cured Nick in
one night after Nat had been trying for years. And second, it's fairly
obvious that Nat had an inkling that Nick and Marian slept together from
that "morning after bubble" comment. For better or worse, Nat has been
waiting to sleep with Nick for years, and here he is spending his first
guilt-free night in centuries with a woman he met fifteen minutes ago. As
you can probably tell, I didn't like this ep. much, except that Nick
finally realized that dumping the guilt may be his true road to happiness.
I've always thought that was the case.

Hi Debra,
I think I can answer one of your AtA questions for you. LC burns Divia at
the end, because burning was the way people disposed of bodies in Ancient
Rome.

Has anyone updated the page since April? Something as important as our
going over $10,000 for the Pediatric Aids charity should be up there.
Any new word, any at all?

That seems reasonable to me. I suspect that LaCroix likes independent
types, even though after choosing an independent type for a child, he
then tries to control them.

Subject: Killing, sipping, blood volume
Apparently this post got sent to an individual instead of the list the first
time. Sigh.
I was rejoicing to have flashed on the rational reason why I have always
disliked the device of "vampires who can't feed without killing" (sounds like
a good talk show topic).
Whether the human body contains on average 6 quarts of blood or 6 pints, it's
still too much to "drain" -- as in, "The body in the alley was completely
drained of blood" -- in a single brief feeding session. Do we see any
indication in FK that vampires need the equivalent of three-fourths of a
gallon at each feeding? Nick seems to get along OK on a wine-bottle size
serving of cow blood, which logically would be less nourishing than human
blood and require him to drink more, not less. If a vampire drank 6 quarts
at once -- if he were physically capable of doing this at all -- he would
look like a bloated tick. If it's 6 pints, it's more within the realm of
possibility but still impractical.
Which brings us to the time factor: Most scenes of fatal vampire attacks on
FK seem to occur in the space of a couple of minutes. The vampire may not
"drain" the victim, but he takes "too much," and she dies more or less
instantly. "Too much," meaning enough to kill, would be at least a quart --
probably more, to kill instantly. The pint or so taken by the blood bank
doesn't even leave most people feeling woozy. And the extraction of that
pint takes about 10 minutes! The only way for the victim to lose enough
blood in a brief time to die instantly would be for a major artery to be
severed. That would cause the blood to spurt out too violently for the
vampire to swallow most of it -- so there would be a pool of wasted blood at
the scene of death, as well as messily splashed all over the vampire.
So the oft-repeated FK scene of "grab victim -- vamp out -- chomp -- drop
corpse," all apparently consummated in a couple of minutes (well, sometimes
we could assume that the camera is cutting from the beginning to the end of a
20-minute encounter, but in many episodes the vampire is clearly snatching a
very brief opportunity), is completely impractical.
Any rebuttals?
