Guess what, everybody??!!! I JUST WON THE CALIFORNIA LOTTERY!!! WOW! WHEEE!!! YIPEEE!!!!!!!.... ...okay, so it was only 4 of the 6 numbers. Picky, picky, picky... So, I won't be financing FK *this* season, I suppose. Still, it's nice. It's money I didn't have to work for.

First of I'm proud to have worked the crowd with Diane (LuDia), her children Marshall and Tory, and last but certainly not least, Elisa (fuja@p.......) We found out that fans who are not online were totaly unaware of the cancellation. In fact we heard repeatedly that USA had "just" picked up the show. Diane had the flyers made up on red paper with black lettering, so they stood out in a sea of black and whites very nicely. As we didn't have a table, we had to use a little imagination. That meant reaching people as they got off the elevators on the 18th floor, working the auditorium, the autograph lines, the dealers rooms. Diane was VERY impressive in the elevator, whips go over well at a horror convention :> We also got down on our knees to SOS, but only Diane crawled all the way down the corridor. It's a good thing she loves her SO, cause the guys were REALLY taken by her "creativity". A number of the Con guests are also FK fans and were also unaware that the USA ax had fallen. They offered to help. I hope this all translates into letters. My guess is that we handed out about 500 to 600 flyers, and left the rest on the freebie table. One more thing before I go, in a further effort to make sure EVERYONE who attended got a flyer, Ms D removed the petty flyers of lesser causes and replaced them with the superior product that we had graciously made available.

I just got off the phone with the "WFMF House Party" dedicating "The Devil Inside" by INXS to, "the cast and crew of the show 'Forever Knight' which is in danger of being cancelled." The DJ asked if everybody should go out and buy tickets to see the show and I said, "No," it's a television show. Late night, like during the time of "House Party." Anyway, if you get this radio show, listen for me. Hopefully, they'll play my dedication and people will respond. Cousin Kayla Clark WRITE NOW!!!

(or prolonged) Give up chocolate? Give up coffee? Give up sex? Huh? I never understood that thing of "I'll do this if you do this..." I know it's fun to talk about it etc. but I still don't get it. I'll do whatever I can personally to save the show. Write letters, send $, make donations, send and pick up virtual postcards, spend mucho tiempo here online, talk it up to people and make phone calls. And if it all comes together - and I really think it will - and we get some more FK, then let's celebrate! Have a virtual party! Play some virtual music! Watch some FKs and feel *real* good and happy. But why the deprivation stuff? Unless, of course, you want to. And if that's the case, do it anyway! And if it's something good for you, like exercising or dieting or not making rude remarks to the TV set while watching a least-liked episode, then do it anyway! If not, I hereby give you all permission to have sex or not have sex, eat chocolate or not eat chocolate, drink coffee or not (but not with flies in it!) etc. (I know y'all just wanted my permission - <g>) Laura wrote: >We have to go out, and do, and it's a daily deal......And >they each show up and do their jobs and add what they can to the >good of existence every day. Yeah, that's it, I think. Fight the Good Fight and all that. Shine where we are. etc, etc. IMO, the connection between list members is as important as the show itself. I found this out during and after the Starman campaign many years ago. That fandom still exists, has a family-like relationship between members, cast, crew, etc. and is still well respected in the industry. It's also famous (as we are) for charitable donations, lots of good will, excellent organization, intelligent and fun-loving members and a sense of class. As for me, I'm starting my exercise program cause my physical body is saying "gimme some good attention." Now if we get a fourth season..........(just kidding) Looking forward to those new eps!

Now please, don't be offended by my ignorance -- I'm not saying that sacrifice is good or bad, right or wrong -- its simply alien to me. ;-) In contemplating this latest trend on the List, I suddenly realized *why* I don't get it: I'm a *Ravenette*! Would my leader, Janette, practice or approve of such behaviour from her followers? I think not! So this set me to speculating about how the characters in the FK universe would feel about making personal sacrifices in return for getting something they wanted: Janette - Knows quite well that Luck and Fortune come to scum as well as to good people, so there's no logic or need to hurt oneself -- doing so won't make a difference. However, she appreciates any gifts by anyone and expresses that through loyalty to the giver. In turn, whoever receives from Janette had better appreciate it! LaCroix - Would see self-sacrifice as one of those amusing human things. ;-) Practice it? No way! Approve of it? Of course. Especially if he got to watch or (better) actually administer the torture. Nick - "Self torment" *is* Nick. Why say more? Natalie - Would consider this nothing more than superstitious behaviour. She would recommend analyzing why the good thing happened in the first place so that those conditions could be duplicated and built upon when needed. Schanke - Wouldn't hesitate to promise giving up something or doing something unpleasant in return for a blessing or favor. However, not being good at self denial, he would slip up quite a bit, then try to hide that from others, especially Myra. Tracy - Would readily do whatever is popular, and might solicit others to join in a group effort. However, she'd probably then go off on her own to find a better sacrifice that got more attention and approval from daddy. Vachon - Not interested. No opinion. Would not ever consider making a sacrifice himself and would put a lot of energy into running from it. His response if someone made a sacrifice for him: Hey, I didn't ask you to do it. Reece - Would gladly do it as long as the Commissioner knew and approved. Cohen - Before making any decision, would want a thorough report immediately on the good thing that supposedly happened and recommendations on appropriate sacrifices for it. Stonetree - ?? Urs - Definitely into self-sacrifice, to the extreme of contemplating the ultimate. However, she's not quite sure why. Urs doesn't appreciate anything given to her because she's hasn't a clue as to she wants. Screed - Would do it only if you paid him.

Now I know who to thank for Forever Knight's run to this point in time, no matter what happens next. (In fact, I think that if you put your heads together, you could come up with a way to *buy* the show -- or at least start a production company! =) I noticed a reference to an earlier post that had given birthdates and times for the cast members. I've recently become interested in astrology, and I would really appreciate it if someone could e-mail that post (or the birthdays and birthtimes if someone knows, and I have no doubt you do). Particularly, ah, um, stutter, blush . . . Ben Bass's birthday and time. (My vow to the forces of tvland was to delurk and utter these words in public. Yes, I am a newly christened Vacquera.) Further blushing . . . and any other information about him would also be greatly appreciated. Whew! I said it. Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give me. I've got a nifty astrology computer program that shoots out natal charts in a matter of seconds. Maybe I can take a stab (whoa! wrong choice of words *there*) at guessing the future of the show. Hey -- if I had the day and time of the "birth" of the show, I could run off a chart for FK itself! It'd be really interesting to see if it reflected the show's ups and downs. But I am, alas, also a newly christened astrology buff, so I can't really claim to be able to offer a thorough interpretation of any chart. Thanks again, and keep up the wonderful work you're all doing!

I would be most grateful if I could engage your assistance in a small matter involving the aforenamed Ms. Prince. My client informs me that no one has really heard from her since oh, about nine o' clock on Saturday the sixth of January, 1996. She was last seen somewhat earlier that evening, settling down in front of a television set with the remote control in her hand, punching in the channel numbers for cable television's USA Network. Has Ms. Prince by any chance left a forwarding address with you? Foreseeing the need for relief of severe mental distress, my client had reserved a room for her at Bellevue, with its world renowned psychiatric inpatient service, but Ms. Prince seems never to have gotten there.

Basically he's discussing prime time and how good or bad the "sweeps" are. He says ABC is down without Monday Night Football; NBC is on top; CBS is badly down; Fox is losing viewers; and UPN and WB are still in diapers and an infinity away from playing with the big boys. His comments are: "The midpoint of the 1995-96 television season finds everyone but NBC counting his losses. Why? Too many "Friends" clones. Too little regard for the older viewers. A lackluster November "sweeps". The demolition of the "family hour", where "smart" adult comedies now dispense double-entendres form 7 to 8. *Handfuls of would-be-viewers addicted to the Internet instead*." Ummm -- does he mean *us*? What does he mean -- only "handfuls"? I like to think we're a "good sized crowd"! Anyway, he goes on to say "Having fouled their own nests, commercial network presidents now say they may have gone too far in their pursuit of advertiser-craved 18-49 year olds (I haven't noticed them pursuing *me* lately!). They also regret the demolition of the family hour. Such mea culpas may be too little, too late to recapture many of the viewers who were told to get lost and did." Interesting. I haven't noticed any of the network presidents asking us what we want, have you? Comments?

Geraint is one of the younger brothers of Gawain (also pronounced both Gah - WAYNE and GAH - win) who murders his mother, the Queen Morgause when he catches her in bed with the younger knight Lamorak. The pronucination "Jer-ahnt" is the French attempt at pronouncing a Welsh name. Since it was Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (wife of King Henry I of England) who took the old Welsh tales and legends and gave them to her balladeers to "romanticize." She did this because her husband had forced a separation on her so he could go play footsy with Fair Rosamund. She also gave the world the character of Lancelot, the knight who seduces Arthur's Queen -- probably to make ol' Henry wonder just what *she* was up to. Personally, *I* intend to call him Mr. Davies if not Sir. On Perkulators: Probably a better name would be "Veterans" because of all the nasty shots that get taken at them.

Okay, I was reading some of the posts, and I have to agree: Leslie should be able to watch ONLY THE LONELY, and whoever promised to buy the Michael Jackson CD would be better serving the universe by buying three copies of the FK soundtrack. If the Karma Goddesses want another sacrifice to make up for this....I'll give up chocolate 'til Easter no matter whether FK is renewed or _not_. This'll be in recompense for the other two changing their pledges. Heck, I should give it up anyway, it leads to more binges on my part than anything else. Arrrrghh at Tri-Star for being so coy. Coy.

Hi, everyone! Yesterday, I posted a note saying that I would be attending a local Scifi club last night in hopes of gaining their support. Thought you might like to know what happened. :)= Well, the topic of discussion was 'Predictions for Scifi shows for the New Year'. They went through several shows, Star Trek, American Gothic, etc. The woman next to me suddenly said: 'What about FOREVER KNIGHT?'. So, I stood up and did my spiel, what was happening regarding USA, who we were, etc. Later, the woman asked for my address and phone number, so I could send her the info, and we started talking. Seems that she had just been introduced to FK via her daughter and enjoyed it immensely. It also seems that her daughter doesn't watch much t.v. and FK is about the *only thing she'll watch*. So, we have one extra member for the crusade. :)= I'm going to start snail mailing her stuff ASAP. This woman is also the editor of the club newsletter. I don't know if an article would help, though, as the next issue will come out in April, and this may all be decided by then. Although, It might help with getting a forth season. What do all of you think?

Now, I know a bunch of people have been doing a good job getting the news onto the "fellow traveler" newsgroups -- the sf, gaming, and vampire-related groups. But there are hundreds of other groups out there with untapped potential. I'm NOT suggesting that we break nettiquette and anger people by posting off-topic all over the Net. But how many of us are lurkers in newsgroups that may not yet have heard about The Crisis? If everyone would de-lurk just once in one of those newgroups, we could cover a lot of territory. Just post one message that's ON-TOPIC for that group, and sign it with your "Save FK .sig". Who knows what latent FK fans are hiding out there in rec.sport.baseball or comp.lang.ada?

Now that we're generating several digests, each more than 1,000 lines, per *day*, it's even more important that we follow these guidelines. Thanks and a low bow of gratitude to everyone who's leading the struggle -- Lisa McDavid ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Jaye asked me some time ago to post a reminder about the rules for the three FK lists, so here goes. As Stonetree told Nick in Cherry Blossoms, these are not suggestions. 1. Please don't quote more than four lines of a previous post in answering or commenting. This means per point answered. If you are answering more than one point, then you are allowed another four lines. If you can't make yourself clear with just four lines of quotes, paraphrase. The previous poster's sig file should not be repeated. Just say at the beginning of your quote who you're quoting. 2. Please don't use a sig that is more than four lines. This includes *all* names, addresses, ascii art, and quotations. Asterixes and other punctuation surrounding a sig file count in the lineage. 3. Please don't post discussion of any aspect of an episode which has not yet been rerun to Forkni-l. That's what the spoiler list, Fkspoilr@ psuvm.psu.edu, is for. Note: it's not necessary to put spoiler lines on Fkspoilr posts, but it is necessary to put Spoilers: <ep. title> in the header. This is because some mailers don't tell users that mail is from the list, but give the original poster's name instead. 4. Please stay on topic. The lists are for FK, not vampirism in general or other shows unless the vampires or the other shows have something to do with FK. FK cast or staff on other shows is on topic, fortunately. Here's why we have these rules: Some people have limited mailer space or must pay per message or even per line. Others are on digest and don't want to have to page past repeated posts. There is a disk at psuvm which holds all the days' posts for distribution in the digest. This disk fills up *fast* when we have a lot of long quotes and sig files. When the disk is full, the list is held. It stays held until a sysop at the site can correct the problem. Like all non-academic lists, we are only at psuvm if we don't cause extra work or problems -- filling the digest disk definitely does both. Thanks! Former assistant listowner for all three lists, writing at Jaye's request Cousin Lisa -- "That will be trouble."

Since, this body hasn't seen red meat for almost six years, I'm going to take Vicki Merriman's advice and eat a smaller portion AFTER the last new episode of the third season airs. Does anyone object or is this another loophole? :) Also, Laura F. aka Apache, I waiting for you to start The Lisa Ryder Fan Club....where do I sign up? :) Regards, Cousin Laura (the Crazy) KHHK71A@p.......

Now... while I can (sometimes) differentiate fantasy from reality, when I read this, all I could picture was *Uncle* in his black suit and leather coat and sword pin, fully vamped out, eyes glowing like headlamps, rollerblading down a hill at full throttle, bearing down on some screaming victim.

We don't want TriStar to change its contract, so I personally feel like we shouldn't alter ours. Just me. Give the disc to charity? Trade it with someone? Uh.... destroy it? You know, fulfill the vow and then do what you want? Listen, I'm gonna be founding -- and maintaining -- a Lisa Ryder Fan Club if we get season four. I mean, putting together signed photos, a newsletter.... it boggles the mind. Maybe a nice vampire like Vachon or Nick will do for me what he does for Tracy, and save my ass at the last second.
