This comment reinforces my idea that Lisa Ryder is playing Tracy's "babe
cop" (from "My Boyfirend Is A Vampire" ep) on the TV show "Andromeda". A
show that, while it probably puts a good amount of groceries on the table,
can't be very challenging to her artistically.
Just my two cents...

While I have been a pretty steady Star Trek fan and will watch all its
various incarnations with equal pleasure, Forever Knight was the very first
TV show that arose such a passion that I was induced to *join* a fan club,
in fact two. And then to actually motivate me enough to travel from one
coast to the other, just to see an actor (Ger), and then to travel to Canada
to participate in the LCA auctions and meet other fans. And I have not been
disappointed...

This, I think, helps to keep my interest alive in the show - the fans. Such
a diverse group of many different vocations and avocations. The discussions
onlist only add to the attractiveness of the show with their depth and
insight. And even the FKWars are a wonderful expression of everyone's
creativity. <waving to all the War11 Knighties>
This list and the wars have become a destination in themselves. It is quite
amazing that a TV show spawned all this... Must be a unique TV show
indeed!!!

Could it be that he was getting ready for his upcoming work in My Fair Lady?
Or maybe he was trying to finish something, or keep a low profile as he
didn't want to steal the spotlight from Lisa.
I find it very interesting that the various FK actors (mainly the leads) go
to each others productions. I think it's great that they support each other
like that.

I agree with this assessment. I feel the same way.

I had a lady at work look at me like I was crazy when I told her I read and
wrote vampire stories. She threw her hands up in the air and said , " I
believe, their the devil" . My family thinks I'm nuts too, but they tolerate
it. FK to me is about, love, faith, hope and a lot of exceitement and a cast
of very fine actors. (Not to mention some very sexy men :)=).

Subject: Had to Share!
Bear with me for a second...
Shana was looking for an apartment for her and her fiancee, so she was
looking in the local ad paper. After crossing out a bunch and circling a
few others, she came across this one: One bedroom apartment in nice
area. Clean, quiet. Gas/water included. $400 a month. First, last, and
small cleaning deposit. Call ***-1228
Well... since the last four digits were 1228, she just HAD to call! Guess
what the owner's name is? Nicholas!
She went and looked at all of the ones she'd circled, and the one she
ended up picking? The one that the number had ended in 1228!!! Not only
is it PERFECT (according to my sister!), it is close to her fiancee's new
job (less than a mile!), within walking distance of a shopping center and
a park, and in one of the safest neighborhoods in Reno!
She said it had to be a sign! :-)=
Now if only her fiancee agrees with her!

I've had similar things happen to me, although I don't think
I'd describe the last as *cold* abandonment since I can
still appreciate the memories of liking a show. And enjoy
watching an episode.
There have only been two shows, though, that I have loved
to the degree that I love FK. Those shows are the original
Dark Shadows and classic Star Trek. These shows
inspired me to fanfic. Although I can watch DS and ST on
SciFi (and do sometimes), I find FK continues to hold my
interest (and I'm a fan since its CBS Primetime After
Crimetime days).
I think all three shows share things in common:
interesting characters
interesting stories
a certain charm that comes from small budgets
a certain amount of "untold" (which leaves lots of room
for fanfic)
Daring
I wish there was new FK to watch (there was so much left
to tell). Or at least pro tapes or DVDs.

Hi Everyone:
Thanks KC for sharing. I've got another one...
I'm working on a conference paper that's due in a
couple of weeks. Anyhow, during the reign of
Henry V, there was an official for the city of
Calais writing to the king asking about the
property of a man named LaCroix.
Sorry, I just had to share that one....

Subject: Re: Interests dying
Hi Everyone:
First of all, I don't see my interest in the show
dying in this lifetime (or the next either)....
I guess it's the combo of the cop/coroner thing
and the medieval flashbacks that get me. Plus, I
like to watch Nick and LC go at it....
And then, there are the comic scenes: Nick in the
trunk being serenaded...the confessional...
No show has the cast like that one does.
(Although Xena came close....) I wish Nigel
could find a better role than the one he has in
LEXX. He's too talented for that stuff.
And then, there are some of the ladies (Deborah
Duchene for instance not to mention CD) :)
Thanks
David

I feel the same way! I still watch my tapes (although it's mostly whenever
there's nothing on the tube) and I do get ideas for fanfic plots at the most
inopportune times, like team meetings...
Boss: "Nancy, what's the status of the quick reference cards that are being sent
to translation?"
Nancy: (staring at notepad doodling little CN Towers in the margin) *I wonder
why no one's ever done a Nikita/FK crossover...the Raven's the perfect place for

Subject: FK in San Diego - 2001 Report
Posted with McLisa's permission.
****************************
After many attacks of RL, and even more of the slacker bug, I bring you
the report for the First Annual Forever Knight in San Diego, which took
place August 10 - 12, 2001
The theme for our get together became:
"The Knight Calls My Name... Way Too Late!"
The festivities began a little earlier for me. Ter arrived at my house
just after midnight Wednesday night/Thursday morning. (A little later
than the expected noon!) *eg* We managed to stay up talking far too
late, as usual.
Unfortunately, I had to go to work Thursday. Ter took care of picking up
Mindi at the airport for me and they spent the day sightseeing. I had to
work late and didn't get home until after 7:00 p.m. My husband had
dinner ready for all of us, but we had to turn around and go right back
out to pick up the rental car! When we got back home, we enjoyed good
food, good FK talk and good company... and stayed up far too late.
Friday morning consisted of packing & shopping & supervising the cooking
of Rice Krispy treats. ;) Just before noon, Mindi & I headed back to the
airport to meet up with Sunny. After a comedy of errors, Andi, Mindi,
Sunny, Teresa & I all managed to be in the same part of the airport at
the same time! Since Mindi & I still had more to do in North County
before checking in to the hotel, Andi took Teresa & Sunny for some
sightseeing.
Mindi's Rule #1 ALWAYS get your contact's FULL NAME! After a rather
harrowing experience at SD Airport, ("What do you mean ALASKA Airlines?!
Her LAST name? Hmm, good question! I don't know!" *G*)
For FK fans, even checking into a hotel can be fun! "Is your name...?",
"You must be...!" The manager, Mr. Pagan, was very understanding of
having a lobby full of women meeting for the first time... very
enthusiastically. *g* Luckily, the hotel had luggage carts. Moving six
women into two rooms with all their belongings and a weekend's worth of
snacks, champagne & wine... to the THIRD floor... is no easy task! When
we finally got things settled, Mindi brought out her gifts to us. FKinSD
T-Shirts proclaiming, 'The Knight Calls My Name', along with the date of
our event. Thank you so much for your generosity, Mindi!
Our "Get to Know You Dinner" was held a couple blocks down the street at
the Valley Kitchen. The six of us staying at the hotel plus Andi, Jean &
Karen must have driven the other patrons crazy. We were getting all
kinds of dirty looks from the surrounding tables.
After dinner some of us headed back to the hotel to warm up Andi's VCR
for an FK marathon. The rest headed for the local mall to pick out some
club wear. We got to Hot Topic about 15 minutes before closing and
started trying on clothes at vampiric speed. One of the clerks suggested
we check out a store two doors down called Torrid. We loved it! In
service they are right up there with Nordstrom. They stayed open an
extra hour and a half to make sure we got just want we wanted. Hey Miss
Gold Card, made a dent in your bill yet?! *eg*
Mindi's Rule #2 Rules are meant to be broken! Who could've planned
shopping 2 hours past the close of the mall AND getting an escort out to
our car!
http://www.hottopic.com/store/store-main.asp?mscssid=4TAKPRHX6CS92K8800A3HC0JDA1C83C9
http://www.torrid.com/
When we got back to the room we had an impromptu fashion show for those
who missed our mall rampage. The evening finished with snacks provided
by Ter and more FK tapes... lasting way too late. *snicker*
Saturday dawned a little later than we anticipated, but didn't keep us
from heading out to San Diego's Old Town. We rode the trolley from the
station near the hotel all the way into the historic park. There we
were escorted by Jean's husband, who we proclaimed to be our "harem
master". ;) We took a stroll over to the local haunted house, built by
the Whaley family in 1856. (Salient comment by Sunny: "If they think
*this* house is old, they should come to Persia!!!") We wandered through
the adjacent cemetery, then proceeded to buy lots of goodies in the
jewelry and souvenir shops. Dinner at Casa Guadalajara was a tasty
adventure ("Guacamole is made out of *what???*"), but we walked off any
adverse effects by shopping some more afterward.
Another trolley ride and we were back at the hotel watching videos
again. I seem to remember watching one of a stage play that had 'twins'
who looked an awful lot like Nick! Somewhere along the line I dozed off
for a nap before getting ready for Sabbat.
Mindi's Rule #3 However long you think it will take to get ready? Add 2
hours!!!! Eight women all running around trying to get ready? In 15
minutes? NEVER!!!
I'm a little biased when it comes to my favorite hang out, so I'll let
someone else tell you about it!
Saturday night at Club Sabbat
(provided by Teresa)
I was really excited by my first visit to a Goth club. I'd never been in
one before. I was thinking I'd stumbled on a good thing when I got at
look at the clothes in Torrid. Talk about hyper feminine! Lace &
Swish until my little stick in the mud heart almost couldn't take it all
in. It didn't hurt either when the Keasha, OUR fab salesgirl, kept
suggesting I needed a smaller size. Talk about getting in touch with my
inner Ravenette! Spent what seemed like hours primping and getting
ready. Ter did an unconstrained braid job on Mindi's hair that just made
her look like a wild child (in good way.) I finally had a great excuse
to wear those over-the-top dragon earrings I bought on whim. When we got
to the parking lot and I spotted the gentleman in the top hat and tails
(and T-shirt and tennies). I knew I'd found my people. The part I really
liked is that people mostly danced on their own. No pressure for a
partner, hoo yah! The dancing was great. And perhaps I'm easily
impressed but I liked the fog too. And the chick wearing the absolutely
1940 Doris Day outfit with the army and an ammo box for purse - odd as
it sounds, she was gorgeous.

After hours at Club Xanth:
I also enjoyed the time on patio at Xanth. Got to talk with Alan. That
little fella, Ray, let me play with his rings - the long articulated
kind.
http://www.clubxanth.com/
Predawn breakfast at Valley Kitchen:
Being stared at discreetly by the elderly tourists at breakfast
afterward was fun. And I want to thank Jean for that great phrase:
Freakin' the Mundanes.
Sunday found us sadly bidding farewell one by one to our new friends. A
few of us ended up at Andi's house afterwards watching more videos (Ack!
The twins again!) *g* and catnapping on her floor.
The weekend that kept us up way too late ended far too soon.

P.S.:
Mindi's Rule #4 Be open to new things! Be it food, clothes or trying
something you never thought you'd do. KEEP AN OPEN MIND!!! *G* You MIGHT
just learn something, and in my case? Make an awesome set of friends
you'll treasure Forever...

Not to mention intelligent and friendly. Recently, I've been on a list for
another work of fiction that I love, but the fandom, at least on that
particular list... don't ... ask. Just ... don't ... ask. (I stay on

While I've been interested in FK since it aired, I haven't lost interest in
other fandoms. I've been a Trek fan as long as I can remember, and I know
people who are lifelong members of a large Trek fan organization. I think it
all depends on who you are -- some people lose interest when they don't get
their "fix" of a show for a long time, and others seek out people with similar
interests. The internet is a wonderful place for doing that. I'm glad to have
found forkni-l and the other FK mailing lists.

I think the plethora of lists and websites devoted to FK has kept my
interest bright throughout the years. It's wonderful to me how many
different perspectives, musings, and rambles come over cyberspace about FK;
I never cared for fanfic until I started reading FK fanfic and thought,
"wow, there's a heckuva lot of great writing here!"; and I love how so many
people can answer questions about FK due to the fandom's varied compositon.
I appreciate you all!

Actors attending other performances seems to be fairly typical, at least
in Canada. At the Atlantic Theatre Festival last year, Ger sat across
the aisle from us to watch Streetcar Named Desire. And at each of his
Dylan Thomas performances, I noticed that all of the other ATF cast
members were in attendance. As someone else mentioned, acting is a job,
so maybe this could be considered the equivalent of professional
upgrading seminars? <g>

I started a story once which began with Nicholas and
LaCroix on the battlements at Agincourt, looking down
on the aftermath of the battle. It always seemed likely
to me that they would have been in the area, for the
"free food", if nothing else. <g> It certainly would have
been interesting.
Henry V is a fascinating figure. I have a love of medieval
British History which I came to via my love of
Shakespeare. I have the U. of Calif. published bio of
Henry V, which I've read about 2/3 of, I'll finish it one
day, I swear. <g>

To which I add a hearty "Me too!" I still enjoy watching
my tapes and I still have fanfic ideas jump into my
brain at inopportune moments...
Boss: "Nancy, what's the status on those quick reference
cards we're sending out for translation?"
Nancy: (staring at notepad and doodling outlines of the
CN Tower in the margin) *Why hasn't anyone done a
Nikita/FK crossover...there can be a Red Cell/Section
firefight in the Raven...Lacroix can match wits with
Madeline...Nick can out-angst Michael any day of the
week...* (coming back to reality when nieghboring
engineer pokes her in the ribs) "Oh! Quick reference
cards? Uh, the cards...uh, I'm sorry, Jon, what did you
say?"
Yup, it's been since 1995 and the obsession lingers! <G>
