This is slightly off-track, but there is a wonderful
FK/Remmington Steele crossover titled "Steeling into
the Knight" by Iocaste. It was posted several years ago,
but is still on fkfanfic.

Enjoy!

Subject: To ALL FK Fans

I want to thank all of you who have already signed the Valentine Petition.
So far there are 305 signatures for it. The rest of KTK and I, would really
like to see that number climb though...

We are ALL fans of the Knight, and don't we ALL want it to come back to
Sci-fi? Don't we ALL want more merchandise? Well this is why this petition
has been started!! ALL of you must sign this!

If you haven't already please send me, kris1228@s....... your
"NAME/STATE/COUNTRY" (offlist). That's all I need to add you to the list.
It's that easy! And if you don't want to send either your name or location,
just use a fake one (though this is not perfered, and if you must fake
anything let it be your location). This info is strictly to show the range
of FK fans through out the world.

Remember the deadline is BEFORE Valentine's Day, Feb.14th, so please add
your name before then.

Once again to any who don't know what the petition is going to be used
for...

----------------------------------------------------------------

Posted by Susan Field:

It is a special Valentine Card designed by the wonderful artist that does
the ADS  for us  at Kickstart the Knight. I will be sending it to Bonnie
Hammer at Sci-FI on your behalf. Inside will contain a petiton signed by you
the Forever Knight fans, asking for the return of the program to the
schedule and movies with the original cast plus merchandise. I also intend
to add a Valentine goody basket to go with it.(something to eat while she
reads the sigs!!) As you know, Valentines Day is not that far off, and the
card,etc will be going out a few days before the holiday, so please, if you
haven't already signed,take a little time while online to do it. Spread the
word to everyone, anyone(with list owners permission of course!) and friends
you have from other fandoms say "Dark Shadows" the Sentinel', etc... that
also love FK. Remember guys!! We CAN make more happen but we have to keep
the momentum going.

---------------------------------------------------------------

So everyone please send me your NAME/STATE/COUNTRY before the 14th!! ALL of
us must unite to bring Forever Knight back, with new merchandise and return
movies!

Thank you for reading,
Kristin

Subject: Weird Ger site

(sneaking out of lurkdom for a moment)

I'm asking this with McLisa's ok...

I know this may sound highly irregular, but I have a favor to ask, if
y'all would be so kind.  My twin bro, who is working on his last semester
of college, is taking a class in Abnormal Psychology.  One of his
assignments for this semester is to write up a psychological diagnosis
about someone from real life.  I thought that site from the gal who made
that "I Hate Geraint Wyn Davies" site might be interesting.  I know it
may sound weird, but I can't think of a better example of a stalker who
isn't famous.  He won't use names ( I don't even know who it is to begin
with), and it won't go outside his
classroom.  Does anyone know the web addy for that site?

If y'all don't want to, that's okay.  He can always use our Uncle Corny.

<g>

If anyone can help us, thanks.

Hmmmmm. Of course every mad scientist must have at least one crazy
laughing scene. I wonder whether Ger will resurrect the Klaus giggle or
go for a deeper, more menacing, bwahaahaaahaaa. (Did I spell that

Subject: Why was LaCroix blond?

Why did the producers want a blond LaCroix in the first season?
It made a nice change to have two vampires with blond hair instead
of the more predictable dark colouring. But why?  Was it an attempt
at grey hair, to make him look older and give him more gravitas as an
ancient, that accidentally (and fortuitously <g>) tipped into platinum?

>Why did the producers want a blond LaCroix in the first season?

I'm looking at a color publicity still of Nigel as LaCroix in the first
season, which I got out to make sure I wasn't remembering wrong. His hair
wasn't blond. It was bleached dead white, no pun intended. There seem to be
some gray highlights (possibly where Nigel's hair naturally had darker
highlights), but it's definitely not blond. It probably looks that way on
some sets or some umpteenth generation tapes from off the air.

As to why the producers wanted it, I don't know. I do recall Nigel's saying
at a con that he showed up for work or wardrobe or something of the sort
and, "they said, 'whack it off and bleach it." He was asked, "what did you
say?" Nigel shrugged. "Ok."

In the other two seasons, it was back to Nigel's own color (which he once
described at a con as "its lovely natural mouse") because they wouldn't give
him an exclusive contract. Otoh, if he was going to play other parts while
doing LC, there wasn't much of a market for the first season LC's, so he
declined to let them bleach it again.

I think I've heard that we never see LC's hair in the style of any
historical period, just always short because the idea was that LC never
changes no matter what.

> Why did the producers want a blond LaCroix in the first season?

I don't know specifically why TPTB wanted LC's hair bold (or, as McLisa says
"dead white"), but when I first started watching I thoguht it had to do with
trying to show and "attitude" for the show.  Kind of "punk" or "hip" or
different.  Maybe trying to catch a specific age or gender group.

I kind of enjoyed LC's "do" (even though I gather Mr. Bennett didn't), but I
found it didn't make a difference to my enjoyment of the character when it
went back to it's natural color.

Probably. Too bad I'm prone to procarstination. ^_^;

>  Um......what's a blanket fic??

*GRIN* Sooooooo glad you asked. It's a fic challenge that started in some
anime fandom...I forget which...but has since spread practically everywhere.
^_^ It goes like this: You take two characters (or three, but usually two)
and put them in a deserted one-room cabin on top of a mountain, in the middle
of a forest, with a big nast blizzard blowing. There's nothing in the cabin
but one slightly moth-eaten blanket, and MAYBE a sink (which has no hot
water). There is no heat, or electricity. Both characters must stay warm, and
surviv to the next day...or night, as it would be...^_^ I figured FK would be
a GREAT series for blanket fics, because there's a lot of characters, and the
deserted cabin in the snowstorm requirement would be pretty easy to meet as
well. ^_^

Subject: cow print fridge

Last summer I mentioned that our town's sidewalk day featured a cow
print fridge.  I have since heard tell that said fridge is still for
sale and that when you open the door, it says "Moo!"  In truth, I do
not think Nick would find it appropriate for his loft--he's far too
dignified and too worried about appearing "normal" to visitors.
Besides, the design would only serve to remind him of the
unappetizing nature of the contents and discourage him from sticking
to his diet.  But then, you never know what he might do in a
particularly penitent mood.  <g>

Here are the Forkni-l rules.

McLisa

For information on managing your subscription and on listserv commands,
please see Don Fasig's page
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7139/fk-lists.htm


1. No flames on list. FLAMERS MAY BE SET NOPOST. THE NOPOST MAY BE
PERMANENT.

2. Please don't quote more than four lines of a previous post
in replying. If you have more than one point to answer, then you may quote
the relevant four lines for that point also.


3. Limit sigs to 6 lines. This includes all information, decoration
quotations and blank lines. Your name and address count as part of
the six. If you sign your name on a separate line above the body of
text, your name and the blank line or lines between count as part of
the six line limit. If you have one of those services that insists
on putting an advertising tag on the end of posts, don't worry. I
realize you can't control that and it doesn't count as part of your
sig.

4. Please don't send to the whole list when you are only talking to the
person who  wrote  the post you are answering.

5. Advertising on list is on a case by case basis. Please consult the
listowners, Lisa McDavid, mclisa@m....... or Don Fasig,
phase3@g....... for permission.

6. This list is for the discussion of Forever Knight. Cast, crew, staff
and producers in connection with what they're doing now or have done in
the past are ok. Vampires in general are _NOT_ ok except in relation
to Forever Knight.

7. Off-topic posts are not allowed, no matter what they are about or
how urgent the warning may appear. If you have an off-topic post which
you think should appear on the list, ask one of the owners for permission.

8. The private lives of the cast are not a discussion topic. Occasionally
one of the fan club presidents will make an announcement, but other than
that, we leave the cast their privacy.

9. Con announcements must come from con officials or a designated
liaison and must be kept brief. Cons are only announced on list if there
is a connection to FK.

10. Only fan club presidents or other designated spokespeople may
make announcements of future projects for FK cast, crew and staff,
before said projects have been released or written about in the
media.

11. No role-playing on Forkni-l. This includes no character names as
pseudonyms or posing as a character.

12. Each subscriber is limited to five posts per day on Forkni-l.


I'll be happy to explain the reason for any of the above if asked.

Thanks!
