I don't know why...but I find the the phrase "happy vampire" when referring
to Nick somehow very funny. Maybe its the thought of Schanke and the others
calling him 'Perky'. <g>

Gone back to Janette? <eTKg>

Before or after he drained him?
> <<Has anyone ever played What If with Forever Knight?>>
Of course! What if Nick was partial to 30-something Internet Potatoes who
spent mega hours in from of the monitor surfing fanfic sites? <g>

Well, *Kyer* would be crying buckets. And if LaCroix *didn't* go after
Alexandra, then Kyer would unleash all of her Personalities on LC until he
went nuts. Eventually, Alexandra would be a little pile of ashes.

Subject: The Triple TPTB Blitz Day 7!
It is day 7 of the Triple TPTB Blitz!! Tomorrow is the last final day of
this huge blitz, so lets show the Powers That Be what we want!
It is time to once again show just how much you want more of the Knight!
Except rember this time we are not stopping with just Sci-fi. This time out,
we are blitzing Sci-Fi, USA NETWORKS and Columbia Tristar! Its a triple dose
of e-mails from each of you the fans that would love to not only have FK
back on Sci-fi's schedule, but want to make sure everyone knows that we are
want more FK with the original cast in new eps and or movies!!
So, what do you say? Are you ready to sit down, take that few minutes and
send off three e-mails? It could make all the difference in the world!
So, say a little or say a lot, but say it!! We can make more FK happen!!!
Every day, *May 15th, through May 22nd*, we are asking everyone to blitz all
three feedbacks!!! 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."
Here's the addresses PLUS the 4th one which is where you cna also write for
FK on video!

I absolutely cannot imagine Lacroix letting this happen. Janette maybe, but
not Nick. I've always wondered that Janette doesn't seem to feel a lot of
jealousy towards Nick. He's the teacher's pet, after all. :-)

We could definitely see the Green-Eyed Monster coming into focus there...
and that was the Season of the Red Contact Lenses!
>...I think [Nick] would've wanted to kill Roger, but something
>would stop him. Something inside, maybe Nat's voice.
And if they were close enough for the Green-Eyed Monster, then maybe, given
an NNP slant and the information we learned in Season Three...
Nick would've regained his mortality.
*THEN* what would have happened with the show? Would Janette have let Nick
go, or would she have tried to bring him back across? Would the Enforcers
have tracked him down? Would Lacroix come back out of hiding and done
something -- anything -- unspeakable to the Golden Boy?

Subject: an fk moment
I was watching Gladiator on Saturday when the emperor's daughter said her
son's name was Lucius. I smiled to myself. Alas the boy was brunette which
would fit in with second season LaCroix. Yea if you think first season was
either laCroix trying out the punk and Bleach look for about 800 years give
or take a few times when he let it go back to its regular color. BTW the boy
said he was named after his father. Made me wonder that if this was FK
related then it would be a good background for LaCroix. But alas it isn't but
its good to see a story about Rome in its bloody glory and not. And the fact
that the boy's name was Lucius make me keep having FK musings all throughout
the movie. Well to those who haven't seen it do.
Until next time this is
Nita V Signing off!*

From: Cindy Wambeam <cwambeam@n.......>
Subject: timeline of show, lists, campaigns?
Hello everyone -- I usually lurk on this list (back in the early days I
actually participated much more), but I need some help putting together a
timeline of events.
Background first: As some of you (who I've corresponded with privately)
know, I'm writing my dissertation on fan communities and their writing.
Much of what I'm writing about has to do with Forever Knight and the
fiction/critiques/campaigns that have taken place in fan's writing. Let me
say up front -- I am not cricizing your writing or doing literary
examinations of your fiction. I am simply using Forever Knight as an
example of how fans can make a difference, and how important their writing
is to the success of a fictional world. In a few places I am quoting some
writing, and I've asked permission from those writers to do so. I just
don't want you all thinking that I've been lurking here, watching you and
taking notes on things you write. :>
That said: I'm close to finishing things up, and one piece of information
that I really need to tighten is a "timeline" -- not of the FK universe,
but of the show and the development of some of the various lists and when
FK fans started turning up at cons. Before I put this together from my own
notes, memories, odd bits of email...I'm wondering if this has already
been compiled. Is there any sort of timeline on a website? Has anyone
else put this information together?
If not, would you all mind if I begin to take a crack at it -- I'll post
what I know, and leave some blank spots that hopefully you can help with.
Many thanks in advance,
cindy

Subject: Looking for FK-tapes
Greetings
I am looking for episodes of Forever Knight. I have only seen season 1,
because the FK-show was canceled on our TV-network after the first 2-3
months. So, at least some episodes from that season would be nice to see
for refreshing my memories. I am living in Europe (in Finland) and I
believe the format which I can see is VHS Pal. Please tell me that you
have and how much you want for it?
Thanks
Juha Tuomala

Subject: Admin: Forkni-l rules & Asking about tapes
Just a comment, which is a reminder that selling FK tapes is a breach of
copyright and, if the copyright owner wanted to, could get us shut down.
It's fine to ask for tapes and fine to offer them, but it's not fine to ask
for more than the cost of the tapes for dubbing and the postage. Thanks --
just trying to keep us legal. :)

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!
