Subject: Flyer?
Can anyone fax me (actually my sister) a copy of a flyer (not necessarily
the NATPE one, I don't know how well it would fax, but any flyer really,
so she can show the guy at the station Wednesday night)?
E-mail me privately, please.
Alora...who wants to dress Jon Feltheimer up in the "Stay Puff
Marshmellow Man" get up and parade him up and down Rodeo Drive while
he chants "I will not stake the Knight. I will not stake the
Knight."...maybe get a CNN camera crew to follow him for a while, with a
direct satelite feed to Sony HQ in Tokyo...let him explain that!
Yikes! If I am not careful my vengeful thoughts are going to turn me into a
<gasp> cousin! Jamie, my fellow Natpacker, HELP!

Subject: Article in Sci-Fi Universe!
Hi everyone! Just letting you know that there is a four pages devoted to
to Ger/FK in this month's Sci-Fi Universe.
Someone might want to contact Sci-fi Universe and tell them about the SOS
campaign. This is the second article I've seen in their magazine which
focuses on FK. :)=
I will be in Phoenix for six days for the annual SCA event Estrella War.
If any of you on the list are SCA-ers want to drop by and say hi, my name
is Erika Hanson(Persona: Aislinn MacKenzie) I'll be on the Fray campsite
in the Orange tent. <g>
LONG LIVE THE KNIGHT!! :)=

Subject: Tristar Bugout?
The source of the original post about Tristar's alledged treachery was
cited as Variety Online, an electronic show business subscription service.
Has anybody tried to confirm the information presented? And HOW was it
presented; as a news release from Tristar, or in a showbiz rumour column?
How reliable is this source? Is it an authorized electronic version of
Variety, or somebodies unofficial mailing list? Is there any chance at
all that the <anonymous bidder> is the REAL source of this, in an attempt
to use US to knock down Tristar's asking price?
As far as I could tell, everybody started screaming and yelling without
asking these questions. If this turns out to be a false rumour, we may
have done the cause more harm than good. Once it's confirmed, THEN is the
time to get mad. YES, keep those cards and letters coming, but BE CAREFUL
what you say in them.
=== Now to make light of a serious subject (at least I HOPE I'm joking)
What if all the trouble we're having keeping FK on the air, as well as the
apparent deterioration of stories this season, stems from THE ENFORCERS?
Maybe the writers got a little too close to the REAL TRUTH? Or maybe too
many of us fans have proved a little TOO WILLING to suspend disbelief? Do
you know any fans who have just VANISHED, or who went nomail for a while
and came CHANGED? Why does the number of people receiving my posts here
seem to be DROPPING recently according to my acknowledgement messages?
Why has no one written any FAN FIC about this possiblity?
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Subject: Taming GWD -- Carpools
OK, you've all heard about Ger's upcoming performance in "Taming of the
Shrew" in Toronto April 25, 26, and 27. There have been quite a few posts
on this lately, especially regarding carpools.
I know I may regret this, but I'm volunteering to help sort people into
carpools. This will free up space on FORKNI-L for the more *important*
discussions, like SOS-FK and the whole "Uncle Fonz" issue.
Send me an e-mail off-list at <percy91@w.......> with the word
SHREW in the subject line. (Boy, my incoming mail is going to start
looking pretty insulting!) I can forward you some information on ticket
prices, location, etc. And if you tell me what city & state/province you
live in, I'll sort people into regions for carpools (assuming you live
within driving distance -- I guess Montana, Texas, and California are too
far away!). If you're willing to be the coordinator for your area, let me
know that, too. I'm coordinating the Philadelphia area crew (four people
so far!). There are carpools organizing in Chicago, New York, and maybe
Virginia.
Will there be any tickets left to this play for other people? ;)
Now back to your regularly scheduled FK discussion (and closing again
with Churchill's words of encouragement)....

YKYBWTMFKW.... I was at my singing lesson tonight and was having trouble
hitting a particular high note. My teacher told me that I wasn't openning
my mouth wide enough. She said to open my mouth as if I were going to bite
into an apple. She then handed me a mirror so that I could *see* what that
looked like, but all I saw in the reflection was Nick Knight, right out of
the openning credits, all yellow-eyed and about to sink his teeth into
someone's neck. I then broke into hysterical laughter and it was a full
five minutes before I could compose myself enough to continue with the lesson!

I also had a (kinda) musical YKYBWTMFK today. I was conducting a rehearsal
of a chorus of 5th grade students today and got a paper cut on some music.
As the blood flowed I muttered (before I could catch myself) "where's a
vampire when you really need him?" I realized that I said it loud enough
for the first row to hear. I saw a few smiles. So I said (as I bled),
"anyone watch that vampire show Forever Knight?" Then I said, "ooh, it's
on too late, isn't it" Well, more than a few kids told me they watched and
really liked it. I said, "Yea, that's a good show, isn't it. I could use
that Nick Knight Vampire Cop about now."

She does. I've met her several times at various OK cons. She should be as

Subject: Re: SOS: IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION!
I think we may need more information for our publicity. Who is the third
party is crucial.
I as a CPA (I am still reading my mail in tax season - only the SOS parts)
cannot understand TRistars decision. The only thing that makes sense would be
if they can get more money in second run syndication then to sell the
property.
The key is to confirm this information so we can generate the publicity.
Sharon, we have contacted before Ian Spellin, a syndicated columist in
Chicago and he did come throught for us before.

I agree that it would serve them quite right, but at this moment what we
need to be in smooth and seductive, in a sense, and save force for the next
step. If we start annoying them with phone calls (hard to prove what we
say), we'll lose FK forever. However, letters, etc, can be just as
annoying, yet leave some tangible evidence that we exist.
Trust me, I've been in this situation before.

I'll remember that when I am thinking of what I would like to do to
Feltheimer...how about using Nat's "hardware" from "Physical Therapy" to
restict him to Nick's sunbed <turned on full blast, of course>, feeding
him only protien shakes and repeating the Jeopardy Theme song over and
over and over and over again on that great big beautiful sound system of
Nick's...until he agrees to give us the show back.

Ok, you're right, sticking with one group is hard...because if all the
above didn't work, I would love to invite the Cousins over to have some
"fun"...occasionally a little Natpack/Cousinly cooperation is fun...hey, it
worked in NiQ.
As for your faction hopping, well, you *are* the WebGoddess. It *would*
be a triffle limiting for you to have to restrict yourself to one group
for eternity.
Oh no! All this thought of faction migration and my Nick&NatPacker
instinct is being tormented by the thought that Valentines may truely be
on the right track...I gotta stop or I am going to have an identity crisis.

Subject: Re: Don't call, please
Okay, someone please clarify for me (been up for *twenty-eight straight
hours*, guys; I got so het up last night I *did my taxes* this morning, just
so I could get them out with copies of the Save FK Flyer in them!! I sent my
check reorder form via snail, for the same reason, despite the fact that a
family member goes right by the branch bank; cursed myself for letting
someone take my Discover Card bill un-flyered; my student loan places; sent
a copy of the flyer to *Columbia House*, for heaven's sake--- they're gonna
think I can't *read*!)
Now, JP's message deals *only* with personal phone calls Jon F. has been
getting? Not with the personal *fax* number or general mailroom number?
Because those are the only numbers I included in the Save FK FAQ, I think I
even shied away from Terri Johnson's phone #, and I want to make sure I
didn't inadvertently flout this request.
#2: Just because I put Terri Johnson's direct number into the letter I sent
out for convincing a reluctant syndie, *does not* mean that anyone should
think they can do an "end run" around the "don't call Jon F at TriStar" by
calling Terri instead. I put her phone number on in there to convince
_insiders_ (that is your local syndicated station's programming person), that
you *know what you are talking about* and aren't just some random banana off
the street <G>. So when in doubt, please do *not* post the letter to any
other online sources or services where you're not certain of how the audience
will use or abuse this phone number.
Right now, Terri Johnson IS FRIENDLY. If we clog her voicemail and phone
lines, she may become as cranky as Jon F.
I would be *very, very sad* if my letter led to this.
Just being paranoid.... <G>

Subject: SOS: Happy Valentines' Day
Just wanted to take time out from the craziness and post from the heart:
I'm tired, and it's late, and I'm no natural talker (the harangues you see
finally posted to the list are the result of editing for hours on end, I
blush to admit). But I just wanted y'all to know:
*I Love You Guys*.
Each and every last one. I am overwhelmed and astounded by all the energy,
enthusiasm, love, and just-plain-gumption displayed by people on the list.
We know what we want, and we're going after it.
And, by gum, We're Going To Get It.
We're going to get it, if I have to camp out in front of this computer and
write notes till my arms fall off.
We're going to get it, if *I* have to become a television executive in order
to do it. I'm virtually pressing my suit and dusting off the camcorder now.
Happy Valentines' Day, SOS-FK'ers. Happy Valentines' Day, NATPE Seven.
Happy Valentines' Day, occasional delurkers.
Happy Valentines' Day to YOU.
Yes, *you*.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. If I could go to each and every
one of the houses of anyone who's saved one dollar, given one pint, gone
without one thing, written one letter, or made one gutsy phone call, I would
hug and kiss you all.
This is for Ger.
This is for Fred.
This is for Nigel, and Lisa, and Ben. Keep going :-)
This is for Jim P.
This is for FK.
This is for all of us who, as Sharon said, aren't going to be pushed down any
longer.
Now, *big* hug and kiss now, everybody. Everybody turn to your SO, your
puppy, your kitty, your sister, your brother, your parents, your friends, and
get your real-time Valentine.
Once more into the breach, for FK.

Subject: cool it on the voodoo doll jokes
I really don't know whether I should post this or not, as it is coming
from an alternate universe from where most of the people on the list live, or
to put it another way, you may think I'm nuts. In the universe I inhabit,
magic is real, and it works.
Alora posted, and Dark Phoenix reposted with additions:
If you find [a photograph of a certain TV executive], pass it along...I'll
put a hex on that guy that'll make him want to stake *himself* !!
>Does anyone have a voodoo doll? <veg>
Seeing as I'm in Louisiana, I might could find you one <sinister grin>
If you find one, pass it along...I'll put a hex on that guy that'll
The <veg>s indicate that both of you were kidding around when you
posted this. However, there are a few dozen people on this list who have the
training and capability to make a voodoo doll (aka a poppet) or hex someone
by their photograph. And I am confident that the majority of us would tell
you, Don't Even Think About It.
These methods are old, simple and powerful. Because destroying a thing
is always easier than fixing it, such acts can produce an effect even when
done by someone who doesn't know what they are doing and/or doesn't really
mean it.
Hexes of this sort, if not thought out completely and not done from a
position of perfect cleanhanded justice, cannot be undone, produce very
literal-minded and excessive results, can harm anyone connected with the
target (including their pets, their families and their employees), may
rebound on the sender if the target is well defended, and lay the kind of
burden on your soul that Nick has been trying to atone for these hundred
years.
And if you are fool enough to publicly announce your intentions, the
results (or any unpleasant coincidence that *looks* like a result) will give
you, your friends, and other magical practitioners who don't even know you a
nasty reputation.
Energy workings to help the show and the people associated with it, to
allow the public and TPTB to be aware of and receptive to what we are doing,
to bring in support and allies, to create win-win situations for everyone,
these are the kind of spells you should be doing if you do spells.
You can also do a spell "to remove obstacles to a fourth season"
(appropriate to do under a waning moon) PROVIDED you specify that *no one*
will be harmed by the spell.
Rule of thumb: if it would be unethical to perform a particular
action by mundane means, it is equally unethical to do it with magic. You
wouldn't joke about sending a letter bomb to a TV exec, would you? I thought
not.

Forgive me if this message makes no sense. I just spent 45 minutes

Anyhoo. Sent Feltheimer his congratulatory ghirardelli chocolate from
the SF Bay Area Friends of Forever Knight and you'll all be pleased to
note that I controlled myself...all I said was "congratulations on your
promotion" and didn't add any of the wonderful adjectives that have been
running round my brain for the last 48 hours. He should receive the
package either thursday or friday.
Regarding Press Kits, they've gone to the following places as of this
afternoon: New York Times, Wall Street Journal (via Catherine Siemann),
Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Daily Variety. I am set to send
them to People and LA Times as well. Will do that later on this week
after I've restocked the NATPE bags, etc.
I have a stack of letters set to go to syndicators across the country
regarding what Tri-Star is pulling. Hoping to get some help this weekend
in stuffing envelopes and licking stamps. Will update on that as soon as
I have information.
And oh yeah...My plane lifts off from SFO tomorrow morning heading for

Subject: Orlando Fox 35 WOFL
Called and spoke to Kim in the programming department at WOFL Fox 35.
They said they did relay to TriStar at NATPE that they'd received a lot
of calls and letters, but apparently did NOT request a fourth season.
When I pressed her, WOULD they air fourth season if it was offered, she
told me that they would consider it IF it was offered. In other words,
they didn't ask for fourth season and wouldn't commit to it.
Other Orlando fans, please continue writing to them (politely, etc, etc.)
but we can't count on them for help in convincing TriStar. Bummer. Off
for more warm fuzzies and a look at Jamie's web page. Cyndi

True. I had to go to Vegas during the final days of the war. So I had no
choice. Not to worry. I plan to rid myself of that lousy suit you and
Sherri (Yes! I have her number as well.) inflicted on me at the end of
the war first thing. In the meantime, I have been accumulating war data. ;)

OOOOOKKKKKKKKKKK. Your time is coming.

I won't always be in that outfit.

Careful.
===========================================
On a more (sortof) serious note. Mary has continued to remind me about the
cow outfit. In that light, she sent me a cow that says Moooo. Anyway, she
bought a second cow and wishes to sent it to Elaine. The other person you
inflicted this atrocity upon. If you have Elaine's EMail address, she wound
like to sent the other one to her. Mary will be staying with me for the
next two weeks. We're going to a con this weekend in Santa Barbara and
Vegas the weekend after that so we'll answer mail during the in-between
times. SO please help Mary......Yes, it's the same Cousin Mary who helped
me paint Vachon's church. Mary mainly lurks on the list but she has been
with us since October. In any case, how about it. She wants to spread some
more of her cousinly charm. Wanna help!
Gotta go. The kid (he's 19) is screaming he's hungry.
Talk to you soon.

Subject: Happy Valentine's Day Massacre!
As midnight just passes in my part of the country, I would like to wish
Uncle and all my dear, dear COusins out there (and maybe even some Knighties
and Nat-Packers and whatever you may be) a Happy Valentine's Day Massacre,
albeit 67 years post the original.
For those of you who know not what I speak of, the St. Valentine's Day
Massacre occurred in Chicago, February 14, 1929. It was a bloody battle
upon the chessboard of rival gangs: seven members of one faction (names are
not important) dressed up as the trusted, and mostly here corrupt, members
of law enforcement. It was when approached by four rivals that they opened
fire into the crowd around them, killing the four and injuring or killing
many, many more innocents.
And so goes life and death. It was a maneuver Uncle would have been proud
of, ironic in its timing and crushing in its method. And so I leave you now
to ponder this, the other meaning of Florist's Day, of Confectioner's Day,
of the day a saint died.
Farewell, my friends, and may you sleep as well as you can.
Cousin "Susan" Phoenix

Subject: Blu Mankuma alert
Hi all,
I've finally caught up on all the digests (thru tue. afternoon at least), and
no one has posted this yet.
I was just watching the (rather fuzzy, I NEED to get cable and a new VCR)
tape I made of Outer Limits from Saturday, 2/10 and who should appear but
Blu Mankuma (Captain Joe Reese). He's the captain of a spaceship
encountered by the stars of the ep.
It's a small part, only a few lines, but I know how
determined/dedicated/fanatical (is that even a word?) some of you are in
getting the complete bodies of work of actors you like.
The episode is "Dark Matters" (I think the 12th ep. of this season) I'm sure
it will be repeated sometime over the next few months. If anyone is
interested, I'll post (or e-mail) the repeat date when I find out what it is.

Subject: SOS: *Everybody* knows *Somebody*
Yes, you do.
Whether you know it yet or not. Someone can lead you to the clues we need to
figure out this mysterious would-be FK benefactor.
I knew a guy who was second in command in my alma mater's audiovisual
department in downstate NY. Nice, unassuming, sprung for brunch one morning
when I was broke.
One day, I'm going to check out a video camera. The guy and I get to talking
like usual. He mentions "his moonlighting" job casually, as the reason he
brought the fancy suit hanging up in the office to work.
Guess what his moonlighting job was?
Running a projector for private screenings.
*In the home of Lawrence Tisch.*
Yes, that's right.
*As in CBS.* As in Crimetime After Primetime.
The point is: It doesn't matter how tenuous. It doesn't matter how old.
(It does matter if you don't even know their last name :(( ) It doesn't
matter how long it's been. A contact is a contact. Yes, you're asking a
favor. But some of those connections are going to hit pay dirt, closer than
you could ever have gotten on your own.
Open those old yearbooks. Read those "Alumni Notes". Shake your minds and
memories upside down. Everybody knows somebody, no matter how tangential.
Friends, relatives, neighbors, coworkers. They may not even think of it at
that exact moment. But get them thinking. If they don't know somebody, they
may know somebody who *does* know somebody. If they can't "get the job
done", perhaps they'll send you to someone else who may.
TriStar turned down a fair offer. A *more* than fair offer. This is
controversy. *This is news.* We're David. They're Goliath. Make it hot
(but politely) for TriStar with SONY.
*I* want the head of *Goliath*. <G>
Iremi is right. We shouldn't have to be treated like beggars. We've proven
ourselves to be a viable force here. We are the *consumers*, not "the great
unwashed" who don't even know the difference between an actor and the
character they play. I'm sick of being treated like that by my local syndie.
