Subject: A YKYB moment ...
I took my dog out for a walk today and saw a parked car with a license
plate that read: BCUZIKN.
Somehow, though, I just can't picture Vachon driving a Volkswagon Jetta. <G>

I still remember the one I saw that said, "LACROIX" a couple of years ago,
parked at a little family resturant.
It was a little red Miata convertible. Not *quite* what I can picture Uncle in,
either! He would never be so.... obvious.

The primary investigating body would be the Computer Crimes division
of the RCMP(Royal Canadain Mounted Police), but the local police
would be brought in as the arresting body when the hacker is
identified.

Subject: FK moment in X-Files
X-FIles SPOILER (in case you didn't see tonight's episode yet...)
<spoiler space snipped>
Dana is performing an autopsy, and she turns away to weigh the heart.
Suddenly, the guy sits up, and says, "I'll be needing that when you're
through."
Mind you, the guy was killed in an explosion. (but appeared to have
been dead for a few days at the very least.)
Dana drops her scapel in shock, and when she stands up after retrieveing
it, he's back on the table. She's not quite sure if she dreamed it. Or
not.
For some reason, dead people who sit up during the autopsy immediately
make me think of FK.

Subject: Where is the FK press kit pics web site?
((delurking for a minute here))
Okay I admit that at times I am basically brain dead, but I SWEAR there was
a post here some days ago where someone who bought the Forever Knight press
kits was kind enough to copy the images in his/her web site. My problem is
that I have not found that blasted post!
((sigh)) So if someone would be kind as to send me via email the web
address of that site, or the actual site user can email me, I really would
appreciate it!
Als is anyone gonna tape the Robocop series that GWD is in? I am also
wondeirng if anyone has video copies of some of the series Ger has been in (
not Airwolf, BH, FK or Kung Fu please, I havethose), please email me. I have
a list of shows and eps he appeared in. Thanks!

Subject: Updated KtK address list
This is posted with permission from Lisa and Don. :)
This is the most up to date list.please disregard earlier address lists you
might have.
permission to post this to any list.
..............................................................................
....................................
Write for the Knight! (this section is for snail mail writers! (VERY
important to keep doing!)
Let’s redouble our efforts and really let "The Powers That Be" know that we
want more Forever Knight!
do not be discouraged just because its not shown now!! schedules change on
sci-fi all the time. The main idea is to be honest. Tell them your age,
where you live, how long you've been watching Forever Knight and how much
you'd like to see it back on TV. Do not, however, put anything on the
envelope that might indicate you are a FK fan or are writing about the show.
These letters are often considered "fannish" and you run the risk of being
ignored.Be business-like...explain why you're writing and why you think it
will be profitable to have the show back in production. Tell them what kind
of Forever Knight merchandise you have bought, and what you would like to
buy. BUT TELL THEM YOU WANT MORE FOREVER KNIGHT!

PROJECTS UPDATE:
.....................................................................
As most of you know, last month, we collected lots and lots of e-mails to
enclose in a large Easter Basket to send to Bonnie Hammer.Well, we have had
confirmation that the basket was happily received and all the E-mails from
you the fans were read and passed around to all in the programming department
as well!!! We are optimistic that we are indeed gettting closer to our goal
to have Forever Knight restored to the schedule.
...............................
Now another project we had going last month was our very first blitz to
Feedback .
While we have no exact way of knowing just how many of you participated, we
are fairly certain, that it was alot!!!
And so, We at KtK are ready to have another one!!!
May 15th, through May 22nd,we are asking everyone to once again blitz
feedback!!!
You can re-use the e-mails you did before, or write new ones, they can be
long, or as short as just saying "Bring Back Forever Knight ".
feedback@w.......
We will of course have updates/reminders on that as the time grows closer.
REMEMBER!! Sci-fi will be changing its schedule around in June, and again in
the fall.... lets make sure that we get Forever Knight on!!!
...................................................................
Kickstart the Knight is planning on another Auction very soon, and so we are
currently collecting items.... if any of you have anything Fk that you would
like to contribute to help us raise the money needed to place a new Ad,
please contact : SField8067@a.......
*****WEBSITES TO HELP THE KNIGHT!!!*********
A monthly petition, is online.
Each month Susan Ellen Field (KTK) will be sending this in to important
powers,
such as Bonnie Hammer and Stephen Chao. If you have already signed, then
just spread the word to others who have not. Also, if you have a FK page
please feel free to help by posting the new banner I made on your pages.
For more info click on the new banner off my main page.
Thanks!

Please vote for Forever Knight the Global 100
Charts!! We do know that TPTB are looking at them online, and they are also
sent snail-mail to TPTB, that includes Sci-fi and Columbia Tristar.If you
love this show,please
vote for it on this all important chart!
remember you can go back to renew your votes.they arte tabulated once a month
. Try to strive to be a High
Level voter too (can vote up to 30 points).
Keep it up and our beloved Knight will be #1!!
Voting Address: http://www.global100.com/item.asp?Item=51259
..............................................................................
................................................
There is another way to show TPTB how much you would like the FK
returned....
Thought Up By wonderful devoted fans such as yourselves.....
It's called "Operation Postcard Overload" as was told to KtK, "When
we all send letters to Sci-Fi/USA, we get postcards back, so why not send
postcards to them?" Its easy! Postcards are everyplace! How about postcards
representing the places you live? England, Austrailia, Germany, USA, all the
different states......
FK fans are all over the globe! Lets show TPTB that the World wants it
back!!!
Send the cards to:
Bonnie Hammer and Stephen Chao (addresses above)
..............................................................................
............................................
******E-mail #'s to help the cause!*******
(Just for the record) these websites are not to be confused with any of the
"Vote for your favorite this or that, these sites are very important to the
cause!)
Write everyone! E-mail's a quick, easy way! Spend that hour, you'd normally
be watching FK writing a letter (s) to Sci-fi at this address:
feedback@w.......
Why don't we make this a daily thing? Every day when Forever Knight should
be on at its time slot we e-mail Sci-fi about putting it back. Just a
thought, but if we ALL do it, it may just help get them to notice us,
especially if they start getting tons of e-mail at that hour.
http://www.ktk.op.nu (the official Kickstart The Knight Website)
This is where to go for all the latest happenings in the world of
FK!!!(recently updated!)
..............................................................................
...........................................
One way to get some attention is to hit
the Sci-fi Channel Bboard with posts about how much we want FK back with new
eps or movies AND how much we want it back on the schedule! We can post new
messages, even sign a post there like we did with post 1000. One note however
is that new posts are
saved alphabetically on that board so a new original post to the board will
not appear exactly at the bottom of the last page
PLEASE EVERYONE SIGN! And also spread the word to other lists or newsgroups,
just let everyone know! The Knight must continue, along with NEW episodes!!
a brand new post has started a couple of weeks ago, by Kristin,(our newest
Ktk member.)we have not had a very good response,which may lead TPTB to think
they are winning and we are slowly losing interest and going away!We really
have to show them this is not true! Please take some time while online to go
over and write a little message ,every one of you count!!! ask for the return
of Forever Knight. We ALL would like to see it back wouldn't we? Feel free
to e-mail Sci-fi while
The NEW post can be found here:
http://www.scifi.com/bboard/browse.cgi/1/5/1686
Please add your name and letters, and also help to spread the word about
this.

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!
