Subject: My love in latin
Amor meus. Meus is masculine but has to match Amor, which is also masculine.
It keeps the same form if applied to a woman, being a noun.

I've always thought that the emotional state of the vampire (and/or the
victim) at the time he/she took the blood had something to do with how much
was passed. If the vampire is very agitated, angry,etc. the victims he may
not take the time to sort through the emotions or may not even want to. If
the victim is very out of control, the emotions may not come across clearly.

Or return because the indications are that they will wind up in
Hell. Given a choice of Hell or being a vampire, I think many
people would probably choose the latter.
(No offense intended to those who don't believe in Hell.)

I think that must be Amy R., herself the author of some very
compelling fiction.... She has a recommendations page within her
website, and "Eyes of a Child" is among them.
Here's the link to Amy's site:

I gather from LK that Nat didn't immediately after Nick drained her.
I can understand his decision not to bring her across...but what what
bugs me is he could've immediate medical help for her instead of
agonizing over her dying...
Then again, all of LK bugs me greatly. Cheese, anyone?

Is it the "forkni-l" list on Onelist where y'all are keeping track of this?
I did a search on Onelist for "forever knight" and got no fewer than 68
lists. <sound of mind boggling> Quite a few of the lists had many more
subscribers than the "forkni-l" one. Anyone in the know care to enlighten
the confused among us? ;-)

I agree totally. How many times have we been subjected to "cliff hanger"
season enders on TV? Always, the next episode would come along to tie up all
the loose ends.
If there had been a fourth season, my idea was that they could have handled
that horrible scene by having LaCroix throw away the stake in frustration
because he realized he would lose Nicholas -- one way or another -- if
Natalie would die. After all, he and Nicholas had finally grown close again
after so long. So, to save his favorite son (and keep Nick's love), I could
see LaCroix scooping Natalie up and depositing her at the nearest emergency
room.
Ahhhh, if only I owned the rights to FK........

Thanks for the reminder. As I stated before, the reminder is great. I stop
reading the moment I see it and vote for FK. Thanks again. It works.

You see, I know nothing of wine. (I'm more of a beer person, myself.) I need the

of course there's a you don't drink a certain kind with cheese... It's a wine

Which goes better with cheese, red or white? Heheh.

Subject: Screed's lingo
The bad thing about being a newby is that, when you find out something
really cool & interesting, you don't know if it's old news to the more
longstanding members of the group. So my apologies if this is old hat,
but:
I was chatting about Screed to a close friend of mine (okay, so I'm
married to him) who is also a big Clockwork Orange fan (most of Screed's
slang is drawn from that movie). What I didn't know was that most of the
bizarre slang terms are Russian! Malenky=bad, droogies=buddies,
malchik=male friend, etc. (I'm guessing at the spellings, folks!) So
Screed either a) is a big Clockwork Orange fan too; or b) speaks Russian.
Your humble & obedient servant,
Ligeiea

Since Screed was speaking like he speaks BEFORE "Clockwork Orange" (in which
the lingo they speak is called NADSAT, if I'm not mistaken), one can assume
he speaks at least some Russian. Considering we know from the FK episode
"Fever" that he was a sailor," it is easy to assume and deduct that he's
picked up some Russian.
We also hear a few words of "Screedized" Spanish. Of course there's also
Cockney and Cockney Rhyming Slang.
Screed's taken every language he's ever heard and made them his own<wRPg>

Subject: Screed's Russian
Just a couple of things to add to Angela's post. Thanks, because although we
did know about the Russian via Clockwork Orange, I don't think anyone's ever
posted meanings before. However, "malenki" means "little" and "mailchik"
(first syllable is a diphthong, sounding like "eye") litterally means "boy."

fluent once, after quite a lot of vodka one night in Kiev :)

Must we be reminded of this almost daily? I know I have a delete key, but
I'm wearing the darn thing out! Wouldn't once a week be more than enough?

Personally, I am derned glad for it---as I am waay prone to *overusing* my
delete key! :)
However, if there are a lot of people who dislike the reminder, maybe you
could create a mailing loop, Kristin?

( I hope.) <g>
People, our beloved McLisa is feeling like the patriarch of All Her Children
about this daily update problem. So someone please correct my info if its
off somewhere.
To make a mailing loop:
Take all the addys of those who request updates and put them in the To: and
CC: lines of a new letter. Then just resend that letter everyday.
Hope this helps diffuse the situation. Kyer hates non-humorous discord!
