In fact, I will add to this, take note TPTB:

Subject: YKYBWTMFKW & AOL's Steve Case
In a newspaper type thing that I picked up this morning at ASU West,
called PLANET (I think it's related to Planet Hollywood?) dated January
3, 1996, the front page shows there is an article inside,"Steve Case
wants you: America Onlines quest to become the McDonald's of the
internet" by Dave Cassel. It talks about people boycotting AOL and their
competition with Netscape. Maybe we should send him more positive
feedback, eh?
And something to brighten your day :)
YKYBWTMFKW . . .
In the PLANET there is an ad/article? for Nancy & Co.- Nancy Michaels and
The Scremer in large print - "Buy a button, get a free fingerprint." Is
this like a personal ad for Tracy or what?

Subject: PR Possibility....
Bear with me; this might take a bit of time to explain.
As some of you already know, I'm putting together an abstract that I'm
hoping will lead to either an article or a book on the recent fiction war.
Since I'm taking the time to put together the abstract, I arranged to have
IT published in an online zine called "bad subjects." There are perks for
being on the editorial board, after all.
So, since I've already claimed the space in the zine for next month, and no
one on the editorial board but me knows more than that I'm working with "the
internet and fandom" as my article, I can probably write up our current SOS
efforts instead of the piece on the war. The zine's focus for the February
issue is the internet, so either of the above would work and I could no
doubt get away with anything I want in any case since I'm on the production
team.
The journal goes to assembly on January 29! Obviously, professionally, the
piece on the war is better for ME, but if the consensus is that a February 5
publication date isn't too late to do the SOS any good, I will forego
publishing the fiction war abstract until a later date.
The zine is published on line (via the English server at Carnegie Mellon)
and also has hardcopy distribution in Berkeley, New York, Toronto, San
Francisco, Chicago, Pittsburg, Jerusalem, Israel and Auckland and
Wellington, New Zealand (there are probably other places as well that I'm
not aware of; we're not exactly vigilant about copyright since it's
available on the net...). We also encourage people to photocopy and
distribute the hardcopies at will so we could in fact arrange to have more
copies of it floating around the world than usual, if people were
interested.
So, let me know what you think. If I'm going to write up our campaign, I'll
need to get started soon in order to fill the space I've already claimed in
the issue. And if you want to check out what the journal is all about, mail
me privately and I'll send you the URL.

Yes, I would like to know as well. I could have some ready to send to the

could come up with something on my own, but it's pointless if I'm

Subject: Web Page: German?
As noted, the German FK Web Page has a hotlink to the SFK Web Page, which
is truly awesomely cool.
I was thinking that it would be a WONDERFUL thing if we could include a
special sub-page in German, giving basic info on what we're doing.
Is there anyone out there who's good enough in German to translate stuff
for me? Compuserve has a translation service, but it's too pricey for me,
and this needs personal attention.
If so, e-mail me off-list at CuznJamiMR@a.......

Subject: About Geraint's name
According to my Welsh dictionary (I'm half-Welsh myself; cymraes means
"Welshwoman" in Welsh) there are two correct pronunciations of "Geraint."
One is the way the announcer said it -- "jer-AHNT," but the more common
pronunciation is the way Ger says it -- "GARE-int" (rhymes with pear/pint)
accent on first syllable, hard g, slight trill of the r. If you want to hear
an accurate pronunciation, someone on the newsgroup very kindly directed me
to a homepage of someone named Geraint, where you can click to hear it
pronounced. The address is:

Hi!
I've been set to nomail for a day (apparently due to technical problems) and
so I have no idea whether the rumor that FK will be continued is true.
That would be great - even though the German station RTL2 has not yet
decided to buy FK's third season.
Could anybody send me a private mail and tell me what is *really* happening.
Thank you, Dana

Subject: Pronunciation of Geraint
According to Ger himself at Toronto Trek in 1993, it rhymes with
"ger-pint." I heard him myself. One of the first questions at the
Gerthering was also how to say the name. I think the reason some of us
think they hear "Ger-ant" is that the Welsh sound represented by
"ai" is not the same at the very tense and forward in the mouth long
i sound most American and Canadian speakers use. It seems to be closer
to the sound of long i in educated southern American. This sound, too,
is often misrepresented by non-natives as "ah."
Anyway, if this was the only Ger conference on AOL that I personally
know about, I understand he told some people at the Gerthering that
he was concerned because the person who was typing for him was paraphrasing
his answers rather than giving them verbatim. Maybe the typist typed
what he\she thought he/she heard when Ger pronounced his name and tripped
over the lack of an exact equivalent sound?

I think it would be nice if we asked the fan clubs who are sending out
special mailings to include information on the Charity Campaign,
including how to make out checks and where to mail them. We could get
hundreds more in donations this way from the off-line fans.
Of course this may already be done, but.... Just wanted to check!

Oh Jamie... what a nice experience to read this!
Why aren't you writing pro full time? It's so clean, so strong,
so well conceived -- your writing, I mean, not just this piece but every
single thing you post.
And this: I always thought Nick undervalued Schanke, who truly
was all the things Nick yearned to be. Nick isn't quite human enough yet
to see it, but Schanke was full of love, reliable, strong, patient, and
capable of living with his own limitations. All the things old Nick
struggles toward and pretty much hasn't managed to get to. Schanke was
also a little dim, fallible, occasionally envious or cranky, and full of
compassion for everyone else who was like that.

Same thing. 60 cents for the first half ounce, 40 cents per half ounce
thereafter. Two sheets of paper can easily be mailed for 60 cents.
Or you can still get an aerogram from the post office for 50 cents. That
works well too.

Subject: Telemuchen - confirmation
Greetings
I'm usually just a lurker with small posting tendencies however after
hearing (at least I think I heard, it seems to be quite a blur now)
about the money injection and demand from Telemuchen I thought I would
post.
Having watched the German eps for the last two years I could have
kicked myself for not seeing the connection with Telemuchen in the
first place and written to them for help. (their name appears in
big bold letters at the end credits.) However, I'm extremely curious as
to how the eventually connection and suggestion come to the
attention of the list?
My friend in Germany had recently phoned and written to RTL the only
German station (as far as I know) showing FK, which is actually called
Nick Knight there, after the second series had finished and before the
cancellation in the US. She was told that they were seriously
considering not buying the third series of FK.
When FK was cancelled in the US she again phoned and wrote to RTL and
today (Friday Jan 5, 1996) she got a email back saying that they were
definitely not renewing FK for a third series. She has since gotten
hold of Telemuchen's address and phone number and is currently phoning
them for any information she can get hold of. I will keep you all
informed of her progress as soon as I hear.
Again this makes me wonder about the origins of the Telemuchen being
the saviour rumour. Why would a German production/investment company
invest money into a venture when there isn't going to be a German
audience for it? Not that there isn't, from what I can tell FK is very
popular over there. They even have a Nick Knight Information Hotline
telephone number, which I can tell anyone if they are interested.
Also could someone explain to me what happens to FK, if, when, now that USA
has pulled their funding? Being from a small island (UK) that only gets
five channels, excluding satellite, I am totally confused as to the
standing of syndicates etc.

Oh, go ahead, praise me in public -- I'm gonna crawl away and die now,
thanks.
The question would be, why aren't I writing pro, period.
The answer would be... because I like THESE people. And because I like
writing for YOU people.
:)
I feel the nicotene urge coming on. Expect more fiction.

Subject: Letter from Synd. Station & Misc.
Here I am, delurking again, to pass on some news. I wrote to my local
station carrying FK in syndication and just got this letter back today:
Dear Ms. Taylor,
Thank you for your letter and your pleasant programming remarks. We are
continuing to air Forever Knight, but we have had some recent schedule
changes. Forever Knight will, beginning Thursday, January 4, 1996, be seen
on Thursdays, 4:30-5:30am.
I appreciate the suggestions you have made regarding the timeslot closer to
midnight and more promos for the show, and I would like to suggest you may
want to inform friends and fellow viewers of the move and perhaps increase
the viewership.
Thank you again for you letter and comments.
Sincerely,
Brian Benschoter
So there you go, listmembers in Oregon and SW Washington. If you receive Fox
49 KPDX, please get those letters going. The address is:
Mr. Brian Benschoter
Director of Operations and Programming
Xxx 00 XXXX
000 XX Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xx. Xxxx
Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000
Or call: (000) 000-0000
Or Fax: (000) 000-0000
Let's get the word out.
Also, I'd just like to add, regarding a post from Nancy Duemling, that I can
tape and dub copies of the show for anyone who doesn't get the show in
syndication. Just so I don't get too overwhelmed!! :))
I'm really a happy Knightie these days. First there is the good news, albeit
*unofficial*, that Forever Knight is continuing it's third season. Secondly,
I will soon be receiving my copies of the second season courtesy of Nancy
Duemling (what an angel. I know what I'll be doing next week! :)) ). And
lastly, I just received (on Tuesday) my copy of Ger's audio book Hauntings.
For those of you out there still waiting, I used the 800 number to order and
got the tapes exactly four weeks later. Other good news, Ger introduces
himself on the tape, so we get the pronounciation of his name from the
source! (It's a hard "g" as in "girl", rhymes with "pear", and the emphasis
is on the first syllable, as in GER-ahnt. Hope that clears that up.) Gee,
I'm having a happy new year so far!
Good work everyone. Keep it up!

Knightie, Optimists' Club

First, the frivolous: the best parties at Macworld are the press parties.
Get a list from BMUG (they usually have one around someplace; if they
don't, ask me -- somewhere I have an e-contact for it). Some of it is only
"by invitation" -- so call the companies and get yourself one. Say you're
with The Knight Group, an online service for computer users with media
interests. Whatever. Trust me on this one. (See, I really do write software
reviews on the side, so I know whereof I speak.)
Second, and far more IMPORTANT, Promotional ideas:
(Please run these by Cynthia Hoffman & co for feasibility)
Small stickers with the SaveFK http and faux-logo:
"After the parties, come here for the Knight"
"Millenial Macs: Saving the Knight"
MANY copies of the Internet Press Release in the Press Room
(possibly in full-folder Press Kits, including PAF info)
Flyer with "Coolest Website: Saving Forever Knight"
Well, you get the idea(s)...
Y'know, ANY press room, at ANY KIND of convention, is fair game for this.
> In any case, let me know if you have any questions about San Francisco.
>I'm a taxicab driver here in SF, and you'd be surprised at the oddball
>details I know about SF and its charms.
Ah, then you'll understand: a few years ago, the Jasmine press party took
over the *entire* Gift Center (yes, all the floors). (Details on request
offline.<g>)
>The "Forever Knight" show may be cancelled,we need your help!.
