I'd agree on this about learning from blood. Also, I really can't recall
anywhere where an FK vampire was actually learning anything from a *mortal's*
blood, only from another vampire's blood. We saw evidence of the latter in
"Last Act" in particular, where Nick read in Erica's blood her wish to
suicide when she felt she would be a burden on others one day. (Nice scene,
by the way! And if you ever get a hold of a Canadian version, this is one of
those scenes that is much longer!)
Anyone else recall similar instances? Anyone recall examples where something
was learned from mortal blood?

I've thought the same thing, particularly in this last ep. But don't you
think that's a result of the situation as much as anything? The poor people
are working terrible hours under great pressure, and know the show will
shortly end for them. Ger, who generally takes it on himself to keep spirits
up for the cast and crew, is probably exhausted. I think he looks tired
because he *is* tired, and probably depressed as well. How much pressure can
anyone in that situation take?
And maybe his longer hair is in preparation for the play coming up. I liked
it better at the beginning of the season, but then we were all a bit happier
then, weren't we?

..needless to say, I've been made aware by some
people (no, they weren't Knighties OR Cousins) that a series of
misunderstandings were passed around earlier about this week as to what a
Cousin actually was...
List of reasons to be a Cousin. :)

Firstly, Ravens and Ravenettes no longer inhabit the Raven. They fled at
the start of this season -they didn't want to be "corrupted" by the new
kind of order Uncle brought along after Janette left. Secondly,
Raven/ettes would NEVER be cought DEAD clad scantily.... well at least
not in public. That's my job..*blush*fume*has thoughts of revenge for

Definitely a misconception. *Looks around confused* Anyone else care to

These two I'm lumping together just on general principle. I'd like to
make one thing _absolutely clear_. Of the currently active Cousins on this
list -NONE of them are VAMPIRES. None, and this was a "rule" of sorts
established before War 4 (?) I think it was -just to protect the other
players from becoming lunch for (new) Cousins.
Laurie? Lisa? Back me on this one?

You're joking, right? More like being kept on LaCroix's leash (only at

Subject: <sigh>
I wandered into the Electric Library tonite.
Being the FK junkie that I am, I did a search. What I found was a bit
depressing.
September 25, 1994, LA Times. Executive producer Jon Slan is quoted in an
article explaining why they chose to take FK into syndication, rather than
shopping for another network for CBS. He rather specifically states that
their whole goal was to take the series to 65 episodes, so that it would be
strippable.
Rather left me with the feeling that we're fighting a decision that was
decided under the table a long time ago...

But LC is almost 2000 years old to Nat's would be fledgling. I don't
think simply her being made a vamp would "level the playing field".
And you really didn't answer a lot of my questions either about how
such an event might change Nat. Nat may work in a morgue, but she has
always struck me as someone who has a leaning to moral "goodness". LC
is not inclined to that sort of morality. Their outlooks are quite
different. Further, imo Nat is drawn to Nick in part because he tries
to resist his more "evil" tendencies and try to do some good instead.
Do you think Nat would help Nick if he wanted to be mortal but was
still going around killing people? I don't think Nat would really want
to be a vampire.

Well, first, I don't think I said *Nick* had to be the one to bring
Nat over. And I think he can remember the pull of the bloodlust; the
problem he's had with people he's brought over has been more due to not
wanting to *control* their actions as he has felt LC controlled him.
While Richard wasn't really an "evil" vampire, I think he was heading
in that direction (or at least to being an "amoral" vampire). One of
the people he killed was the woman who was going to testify against the
bad guys and he felt drawn to attacking his wife (who certainly wasn't
a criminal).

Sure LC might be 2000 years old, but nat is pretty darn stubborn...I think
LC would be in for a pretty tough fight...

If you're speaking about first season's Spin Doctor (where Nick was
suspected of being a Communist in the 1954 flashback), his last name
in that was Girard, I believe (I may have spelled that wrong). He
kept his desk nameplate as a memento and Nat picks it up to look at it
in the end of the ep.

FOund it in the Merck Manual. Protoporphyria: "A dominantly transmitted
disorder characterized by acute photosensitivity reactions, no urine
abnormalities (common in other forms), and, in some patients, serious liver
disease."
Wasn't the name mentioned in "Black Buddah"? It doesn't sound like
something a cop would have (and be allowed into active duty) without some
SERIOUS hypnosis work. A simple physical allergy to sunlight sounds more
logical.

8. Uncle (heavy breathing)
7. Knighties need Prozac; Vaqueros need a haircut; NatPackers need... okay,

6. No cover charge to Raven.
5. Morals? We don't need no stinking morals...
4. Access to Uncle's collection of Vintage "wine".
3. See #8.
2. Wear all the black you want.

Subject: Top Ten Reasons to Join the Fic-Wars
It just occurred to me... while we've been talking up the reasons to join
one faction or another, but no one has told the new guys the best reasons
to be in the Wars!
>>Top Ten Reasons Why You Want to Participate in the FK-FIC Wars<<
10. Get to know your fellow list members better (better than you ever
dreamed) and interact with them (send them to jail, kidnap them, dance with
them, share car chases with them, have slumber parties with them...) in a
virtual, clean, non-existent, impersonal War
9. Meet your faves from FK---write yourself into the loft with Nick, the
morgue with Natalie, the church with Vachon, the Raven's wine cellar with
Lacroix, the precinct with Tracy... it's as close as Real gets around here!
8. Force the characters to act out *your* fantasies (within reason)
(well, actually, reason takes a vacation about 24 hours into a War)
7. Visit the The Happy Souvlaki. Eat at the virtual end in deli's, and
possibly catch Schanke's ghost..
6. Practice your creative writing/lying skills as you try to get out of
the corners others have painted you into!
5. Sleep Deprivation! Discover the joys of caffeine overload and REM
withdrawal as you desperately try to keep up with the posts and your writing!
4. Oh, yeah, spammed mailboxes... there's nothing like coming home to 55
posts in one day! (I'm serious here. It's great stuff)
3. Acting out your *own* fantasies (want to drink coffee with Nat while
dissecting a corpse? Thumb your nose at Lacroix as you drive by CERK? have
a pillow fight with Nick? Dress up and check out the action at the Raven?
Booby-trap Tracy's computer to say "I'm a good cop"? All possible)
2. The opportunity to be made a fool of, or to be: kidnapped, brainwashed,
drugged, jailed, seduced, embarassed, mocked, tied up, shot at, and in
general, to be treated as a walking target ("Forever Knight: the only
fandom where assault is a sign of affection" - Susan Garrett)
And the #1 reason to participate in the next War is:
1. Revenge. :) Hey, it's not noble, but it's satisfying.

From: Raissa Devereux <1595@e.......>
Subject: Re: Nat as a Vamp
While Nat is mortal, Nick has no incentive to truly become mortal
himself. All he has to do is put Nat on a a pedestal as the local
representative of the perfect state of being. And since, in his mind, he
will always fall short of that perfection, he will never consciously take
steps that may lead to success. If Nat becomes a vamp, on the other hand,
they will both be forced to grow:
1. Nick will embrace the cure, because now he'll have someone to embrace
it with, and they will both have to face their fear of commitment to each
other.
2. Nat will see vampirism through new eyes and not embrace the cure. Nick
will continue looking just to spite her. She has betrayed him. She is not
the angel he thought she was. This means that Nick and Nat won't be
together, but at least they'll be out of the rut they're in now.
3. Nick will have an epiphany. He'll realize that whatever one's physical
state is, life is what a person makes of it. As long as he has love in his
life, he'll be okay. This Beauty & the Beast option is the one I'm hoping
for, but it's the least likely of the three.

No, this is not a new faction. This is a group of real people. Many of
whom, I suspect, are on this list. I just realized TPTB haven't put our
dear show in danger... we have!
You might be a Killer Of Quality Telivision if:
1. You enjoy mulling an episode of your favorite show over, finding new
and interesting things to think about, instead of just one-liners and
dropping bodies (bloody or into bed, same difference).
2. Beliefs different from your own do not offend you; they instead
challenge you.
3. You enjoy tracking down (or already know) the poetry and lines from
great literature quoted on your show.
4. You subscribe to an Internet list (or five) for your show, meaning that
a) you have enough disposable income to afford a computer and b) you are
intelligent enough to know how to run it.
5. Your show produces a tremendous amount of creative output from both its
creators and viewers.
And of course, the most important:
6. Every show you watch dies!
I've finally admitted it. I am (gulp) a KOQTV. (Highlader people: note
the name begins with a "K", obviously evil). I don't know why. All I know
is that every show I love disappears, killed before its time.
So I know now what to do. I'm just going to have to stop watching TV.
After all, who am I to kill shows for other people? So I won't watch
television, won't see ads, won't buy the products hawked in those ads....
If they want to kill every show I love, then I will spare them the trouble
and just not love any shows. So there!

I just got here and I ain't plannin' on goin' anywhere.
I'm notoriously hard to get rid of, and I've even risen from the dead.
(Just ask those who know me - friends or enemies)
As an aside, I'm having trouble deliberating between the various
factions. Anybody wanna help me out? (Or in, as the case may be)

Are you kidding me? I check my e-mail every few hours...and tonight (no
more than three hours after I was last on-line) I find 50+ messages...on
top of the 40+ I had earlier this evening...and the 20+ this

I'll stick around. If I can't have FK on tv, I'll read about it
in FanFic!
Besides, we Knighties are known for hanging onto our ideals --
