FRAN SPOILERS Francesca Spoilers follow: (And now, a bit of poetry while we wait) I had a dream, which was not all a dream.

In Francesca, Nick specifically says that he can see how someone died by drinking their blood -- so yes, he could see the murderer, assuming the victim knew who the murderer was. But he'd have to prove it some other way, of course. You're right, it would make a good story. In fact, it _did_ make a good story -- see Unforgettable, starring Ray Liotta and Linda Fiorentino. But that movie really left a lot to be desired, so by all means, correct the faults and write the fiction!

If not, apologies in advance. I have a question for the Ravens/Ravenettes out there. I know many of you were dissatisfied with the character of Janette as protrayed in HF. As a relative newbie, I would be very interested in learning how Ravens percieve Janette and why that perception seemed at odds with the things that happened to her in HF. I'm not trying to start an argument; I just really want to know, partly because I want to get the post-HF Janette right in my fanfic. The first time I saw HF, I had seen only one pre-3rd-season ep: Fate Worse Than Death (which, of course, provides its own insights into the character of Janette). I found HF fascinating if somewhat hard to believe from a scientific standpoint (and I have my own theory that explains, pretty convincingly, that she was never really mortal, though she believed she was). I liked Janette, as portrayed in HF, very much. Now I've seen all of first season and much of second. Seeing HF again from that perspective was interesting, but I still didn't have a problem reconciling the HF Janette with the pre-HF Janette. In fact, I found her HF behavior to be very much like the behavior she exhibited as a mortal in FWTD--a little shy, fiercely devoted to those she cared for, maternal. The main thing I see missing is the overt sensuality and the self-confidence she usually showed Nick (but often lost in the presence of LaCroix). Please enlighten me--and tread gently, y'all. I don't want anyone upsetting anyone else--I just want to *understand*. TIA!

Hansen" <usleamys@u.......> Subject: Games Vampires Play Hi all -- Should there be spoiler space for this ep? Ah well. SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE There we are. And about this ep -- I was slightly underwhelmed. I was hoping that it would be more of a "Nick struggles with his nature" ep rather than a "Nick, cop on a mission" ep. I was hoping that there would be more of an emphasis on how the game was forcing Nick to backslide. Oh well. What I didn't understand (apart from how they all guessed that it would be an anagram - how did they know to call it a jackknife? I would have just said "knife.") was how Nick didn't flinch or anything when he went into the virtual church. I mean, he was kept at bay by that gal Megan and her luminous cross. You can't tell me that he's come *that* far since "For I Have Sinned." I dunno - the whole ep just struck me as kind of silly. Well, not the "Nick backsliding" part. Mostly the whole idea of the game. If I had been that gamewoman, I would have been glad to get away with it; I wouldn't have attracted more attention to myself by killing a cop after leading him to myself. But that's just me. And that's just my "too sense." Cathy usleamys@u.......

I can see why it has a following, and I already mailed my letters trying to get it back on. Ok, my questions: How 'allergic' is Nick to sunlight? It seems he can be in a room where the ambiant light is sunlight, but he can't stand one second of being outdoors in the day. I have a vague interest in vampires, and I know some sources say that older vampires can stand the sun for short periods of time. This doesn't seem to apply to Nick... Also, I would *really* like to get the soundtrack..am I right in thinking that it is out? I saw a web page that said it was due in February, but I don't know if it meant last February or the next one. A friend says it is out, but I can't find it. If it is out, could someone give me a hint as to where to get it? And, anyone know an ftp source that has the FK logo? Maybe even with the skyline like in the title? Um..I can't think of any more ?'s, but I'm sure I'll come up with some soon Amy Antonucci ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 29 Jun 1996 16:49:35 PDT From: "Leslie I.Plummer" <lplummer@i.......> Subject: Re: Blood shortage in Ontario Lynn Stapleton wrote: >On tonight's CTV news, there was segment about how there was a severe lack >of blood in the blood banks in Ontario.

Hi guys! It's Saturday night, inputting survey responses, & thought I'd let you know that I think we got 200 responses for the "Early Returns Analysis" Thanks to all who responded! Keep them coming in! It's not over yet. Next goal is a total of 500+ by Septmeber & 1000+ by end of 1996! Keep sending in your repsonses! Inputs are taking longer than I thought, and a little real life is slowing me down. So, I probably won't have the analysis (stats only) ready to publish till 7/8 (house guest coming to town, who needs my shoulder... going through a divorce). However, she WILL be brought across in the process. (Imagining Nick/Ger as her rebound guy!!!!) OBFK: I brought the pizza guy across! I'm cleaning/unpacking my house to make way for my houseguest & a party I'm giving next Sat. To help bribe myself to get the boring stoff done, I was listing to the second half of the FK CD, for the first time & the pizza guy comes to the door. I think it was the suite from AMPH playing in the background, on my professional quality stereo (glad I got SOMETHING from years in radio), and the pizza guy makes a remark something like "Hmm... sounds like a movie." In uncharacteristic (trust me) brashness, I said, "It's the soundtrack from Forever Knight TV show." He said he liked it alot, and as he turned to go, I told him about the show being on SciFi Monday nights. He's gonna watch!

(Yes, I'm a month behind in reading :>). First off, I'm not a writer. I applaud those who have the ability to write, or those that at least try. 1) I am on a few fanfic lists and it seems that most fanfic writers use their own version of canon. They decide who is and isn't involved in the story. In FK, they decide whether, in their story, Janette is alive or dead. Schanke and Cohen and Vachon etc., same thing. I can definitely see the possibility of hurt feelings when one person's story is rejected in favor of another, etc. But, and I don't mean to sound cruel, that's the author's problem. Anyone who submits a story for this VS does so fully understanding that their story may not be accepted. 2) If Tippi and whoever else want to do the Virtual Season thing, then why shouldn't their committee decide who is alive and who is dead. After all, writers who want to write a different version are free to do so. If Tippi et al decide that Janette is alive and Nat is rescued and Nick is mortal or whatever, other writers are still free to write their own version of what happened after LK, and in their version, Nat is dead, Nick is still a vamp, and LaCroix has completely flipped his lid and decided to be a mortal too. Just because it isn't under the "Virtual Season" header doesn't mean it's not a good story and it doesn't mean that it won't get read. On some of the other lists, a group of people come up with an idea, a premise, they decide the basic rules, and then other people write stories following those guidelines and it's great. I see this situation as being no different. TJ, Sorcha, and Tippi come up with a basic idea, the basic rules, and other people write stories that fit those guidelines. 3) Someone mentioned that they feel other fiction will be pushed out of the way and will be ignored, while the VS episodes are discussed at length. I see no reason for this to happen. Just because I'm discussing story A doesn't mean I can't also post my opinions on story B. :) I think this VS thing sounds like a wonderful idea. I don't know how much trouble it is to set up the topics like ADULT, VS, etc., but perhaps if another group doesn't like what TJ and Co. come up with, they can start up their own version of Season Four with another set of writers and a new set of basic rules and premises. As I understand it, none of the people interested in this VS have said they want it become "canon" (After all, seems to me the people who actually wrote the shows had the attitude of "Canon? We don't need no stinkin' canon!" :>) so those not interested in accepting it as what would happen if there were a "real" 4th season are free not to. And as for the writers of the VS being hurt and offended by the critiques from the general membership, yes I can understand that. But isn't that true of any writer. I mean, say John Grisham writes a book and the readers think it's a bomb. I'm sure it hurts him but it doesn't stop him from writing another. And if the writers would rather not read the critiques from the list membership, then skip over them, just as they would a spoiler for show they hadn't seen yet or whatnot. In this case, when discussing a VS episode on the list, members should just put something like VS:"The Title" or something and then the writer would know to skip that part. Cheers!

This >doesn't seem to apply to Nick... direct sunlight, the really bright kind, seems to be the most destructive from what i've seen. also, i've noticed in at least two cases where Nick was fine outdoors (day) when he was in shadow, but in another case where simply being outdoors was smoking. at first i thought it was UV content--outdoors, regardless of shade, UV is much higher than indoors, when even windows block out a good portion of the stuff. but that's getting too much into it ;) i've thus wondered how Nick would react to a really rainy day sans a single sunbeam.. is it the sun? other sunly radiation? or simply the time of day? (which sounds more gargoyles-y than vampish) older vamp resistance? that's interesting . . nah, we don't want to give them too much power. ;P -mdht <cli7@s.......> Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live Not where I love, but where I am, I die. -r.southwell ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 29 Jun 1996 23:03:00 -0400 From: Pat Witham <catspaw@m.......> Subject: Re: A Good Way to Solve Crimes?

It appears that it's *direct* sunlight only that affects vampires--a sunbeam, not simply ambient light. I've no idea if a good mirror would qualify... It all comes down to the question of what it is about sunlight that affects a vampire, and that's open. UV? Probably not, since some modern lighting puts out some UV. Whatever it is, it appears to be only in a sunbeam (neutrinos?). We've seen Nick dash across sunlit areas, smoldering, several times, even dart out into the sunlight, briefly. Older vampires may be able to take more than he because they are older... or because he's sort of starving himself -- LaCroix more than once chides Nick for his weak command of his powers; it's implied that he neglects them, I think it's a combination of lack of human blood, lack of just being a vampire, and partially lack of practice. ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 29 Jun 1996 21:37:01 -0700 From: "M.

The only thing we can do: chalk it up to Voodoo." ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 30 Jun 1996 00:47:38 -0400 From: Ann Lipton <Iocaste@a.......> Subject: Last Reminder: FK Fave Episode Survey! Yes, I _am_ posting about this once again, for the very last time, one final reminder: The FK favourite episode survey ends on July 1st -- I will be accepting votes up until midnight, July 2nd (you know, the midnight that borders the 1st and the 2nd). So, for those of you who haven't voted, c'mon, what have you got to lose? Please email me and let me know: 1) One fave ep for each of the three seasons (two parters count as one) 2) One least fave ep of all 3) Your reasons for your choices And once again, I remind you that if you have a friend off-line who likes FK, or if you have an online friend who doesn't subscribe to this list, feel free to tell me their choices or to have them send me a ballot.

FRAN SPOILERS I accused CD of being over-directed in Fran, and Pat wrote: I apologize for being pedantic but Nigel said that he didn't direct Ger and Cath in that scene at all. He had the camera roll and let them have at it. My response: I stand corrected. But my assessment stands in the sense that CD was, I think, a little too aware of her own performance -- usually that stems from over-direction. In this case, I suppose it was an over-*inner*-direction.

Saturday is the night when FK is on here in Ft Myers. Inevitably someone asks me about the shirt (the "official" shirt and the Raven shirt seem to elicit the most comments). This gives me the chance to proselytize a bit. I've introduced several people to the show, and helped a number of others who had lost track of when and where to find it. It's a little thing, and I rarely get a chance to follow up, but little things add up. I have heard back from one of the cashiers at the local 7-11 and a deputy county clerk. Both of them were very enthusiastic about the show...after only one episode!

Has anyone received it? Or is the server doing weird things again? ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 30 Jun 1996 02:04:47 -0500 From: Crystal Guffey <guffeyc@c.......> Subject: Encouraging news on the CD... Went to Sam Goody's in Knoxville and asked for the cd. The salesperson said that he had been trying and trying to get the cd, but that stock is running low. He told me to keep checking back and he hoped to have it in soon! Seems to me that somebody better get in there and make some more to sell, huh????? :) :) :) -- Crystal, a Vaquera guffeyc@c....... // guffeyc@t.......
