Subject: Last day of filming
Technically, this is the last day of filming for the third season (they may
film pick-ups and a few last thing tomorrow).
Let's think good thoughts and send best wishes their way.
And remember, we wouldn't have seen anything after "Human Factor" if USA and
TriStar had originally had their way.

This killed me. I actually laughed out loud in the computer cluster,
which I normally only do at home. These visions of Nat with her
chocolate smeared body paint and Vachon with his cow suits... :-) :-)
Actually, wars aren't nearly so sexual (unless you get locked in a wine
celler with LC, huh Sandra?)
This has probably been answered, but, briefly, wars are fictional round
robin things where we each play ourselves (perhaps slightly idealized
versions of ourselves, but _definitely_ ourselves). Then we cause
trouble for other factions (even the Knighties cause trouble, and the
Nat-packers were the _start_ of the last war).
It is a duel, lunge, defend, counter... etc. etc. all really in good
fun. You shouldn't take anything _too_ seriously. I think it was Susan
Garrett who said "In a War, an attack is the most sincere gesture of
affection" or something like that.
However, there is also a LOT of organization that goes on behind the
scenes in e-mail so that the posts won't contradict each other. You need
to work within a framework of sorts. The framework is extremely loose,
but it does exist and needs to be adhered to. The best fun is trying to
sort out posts that were all posted within a few minutes of each other.
Despite apparent contradictions, we can work these things out.
It is a lot of work, but great fun. I will probably have to skip the
next war due to real time constraints and will definitely miss it.

If you know martial arts in real life, you can use them in the War, but
you shouldn't really make yourself a black belt if you've never had a
course in it. You could, arguably, boost yourself from being a brown or
red belt to a black belt, though.

Ack. Smiley is right :-)
No, they don't. The only reason LC got the Raven back in the last war
was because we always clean up after ourselves like the Cat in the Hat.
The FK universe has to be left in the same condition that we found it in
in the start of the War. So, e.g. Tracy can't find out that Nick is a
vampire in the War, or if she did, she would somehow have to forget that
information by the end of the War.
Also, as I recall, Cerk got pretty badly damaged by the Mercs. I'm not
really sure who won the last War. It is n't a matter of winning or
losing; it all degenerates into a party somewhere. Once it was in New
York City; this time at the Raven.

It really doesn't matter. there is a ton of fanfic being written, and
some of it, like Susan Garrett's work, is as good as anything being
written professional, so what difference does it make?

Subject: NB's B'day? King Cakes sent
I've gone to nomail to catch up with over 5000k of messages, so please e-me
privately.
Does anyone know NB's birthday (including year)? A friend is interested in
astrology and fell for Nigel at CCCX. I've been feeding her need for info
about FK and NB, but have run into a block about his birthday. The info
isn't in the FAQ and I e-mailed the prez of the NBFC (of which I'm a member)
a month ago and haven't heard back.
Also, the King Cakes went out Monday to James Parriott (the Toronto
address), Ms. Onoyama in NY and one to my local Programming Director.
I delivered the local one myself so that I could meet the Director (and she
meet me so that she would know I wasn't some lunatic who kept bugging her).
She was very nice - asked what I would do in reference to their station if
Columbia cancelled the show. I told her I'd still watch the other shows
they had (I listed all the shows I *regularly* watch in a letter to her). I
think she was relieved that I wasn't going to bomb the building or some
other such foolishness. She told me that her Columbia rep was still saying
that they were going ahead with another season (guess that person is *way*
outta' the loop). I wrote a summary of what had happened with the show so
far and she was impressed that I knew so much. I don't think *she* knew
what had been going on! E-me if you'd like the text of the letter (please
put "SYNDIE LTR" in the subject).
I'll let y'all know if/when I hear from JP or Sony. They are getting some
YUMMY food!! The smell in that bakery . . . well, Gambino's is the best and
they now have an 800 number.
ttfn,

I observed War III; had a bit to do with War IV and participated in War
V. How did War V get the name Chess? It must have been from some section
I wasn't aware of. However, I definitely vote that FKWAR VI is in
progress, and like the title "This time, It's Personal". It is a War we
may not win, but is the most important one of the bunch.
It seems to me that the Wars get bigger and bigger each time, and harder
to organize. The next War is going to have to have some bigger
constraints with leaders, I think, to prevent it degenerating into total
chaos and ill-will from contradictory posts.

Amateur Night is a 2nd season episode. Also, I think someone mentioned
the flashback took place in the 1920's or 30's? I seem to recall that
during the original discussion of this episode, someone spotted a car
in an alley during the flashback that would have put the flashback in
the 1960's. Anyone else remember this?

>as soon as he can!
Now I saw that in a different light. To me, it seemed that Nick wanted
to open up to Nat about his "reawakened needs" and that Nat just didn't
want to listen to him. Nick has been trying to do what is unnatural in
most FK vampires--stay away from human blood and feeding on humans. Is
it any wonder that that is going to be hard for him to do sometimes? As
it was, he went to Janette and some *vampire* blood rather than endanger
some hapless human. Nick had already been to see Janette once before
this scene because he was "out of control". When he went to Janette a
second time after this scene, he wasn't as out of control as before. If
Nat had been willing to listen and try to understand what Nick was feeling,
perhaps he wouldn't have gone back to Janette again at all.
But Nat doesn't want to deal with the vampire Nick. She only wants to
deal with the human Nick.

I think in past surveys taken on the list, there are still rather more
Knighties than anything else. The Cousins are just very much on the vocal/
active side :-) We've got ~900 people on this list, of whom-- what?--
maybe 50 post with any regularity and only 100 ever post at all. The
other 800, however, are overwhelmingly Knighties (if past counts mean
anything).

Hello fellow list folks,
After reading last night posts I thought I should make it clear that
War #7 has not been planed. Yes some of us have been playing around
throwing War 5 references around, but I for one am still busy with
War6.
So please excuse all of the per-war posturing lets just say it is a
way to blow off steam and have some fun. So...that said...now is the
time for all of you who are interested to go look up the old wars and
read them...get your FAQ and see if you want to get involved in the fun
when it does happen.

About a half a year ago, it didn't seem so. One of us did a poll of how many

Once mail is delivered to its legal address--i.e. the address on the

laws about misdirecting or stealing mail are not in force. What Tristar
wants to do with its mail once it has taken deliver is personal business.
Just suppose, not that I am suggesting that anyone do anything--but what
if some kind soul concerned about those who sent mail to Tristar--those
not of the family--other businesses etc. received letters containing
their original mail, with a letter telling them that Tristar did not

No, LaCroix wouldn't mind her being pissed. He would anticipate it and
even find it amusing. Rather like a young kitten that tries to fight and
scratch you. You know the kitten is no threat. Also, Lacroix would
live up to his responsibilities as a father. He would control the young
vampire, and while, unlike Nick, he probably wouldn't dissuade the vampire
from killing mortals, he would definitely make sure that it was done
carefully and in such a way that the vampire community was protected.

This is precisely what a newbie vamp doesn't need. She needs someone who
will protect/teach and CONTROL the newfound power lust in the young one.
Once the new vamp can control herself is soon enough to let her be, but
unfortunately, LaCroix has a slight problem with letting go. Well, no
one is perfect.

Oh, let's! Has anyone else noticed that this last day of filming
coincides with Ash Wednesday? That haunts me, for some reason... There
was a lot of talk about pagan (I mean that descriptively, not offensively)
spirituality and the SOS campaign a while back, and I've been wanting to
say this ever since: any other Christians out there? I have concluded
that I cannot pray on behalf of the show, but that I can (and must) pray
on behalf of all of you, on behalf of the crew and cast we love, and even
on behalf of the TriStar executives. I will keep all of you, and this
last day of filming, in the back of my mind when I go to Mass this
afternoon. If your spirituality leans this way, please join me.

Subject: Not leaving etc....
Ok , ok I was stupid and emotional and bummed
when I said I was leaving the list, SO SUE ME!! the
outpouring of support for the list astonishes and
warms even this cold cynical heart. Wonder if Nigel
will stay on? Nah!
I think the idea of virtual epiosdes is great. Does this
mean the committee that picks the stories will act
like dunderhead producers and throw in gratutious T&A
and dead ladies in lingerie? Gosh I hope not. Maybe we
can get Gillian to write a virtual episode. She left this
list didn't she?
I read Cath Sieman's post about meeting Deb and
the Toronto Star that treated us fans like
"obsessive dweebs" excuse me! We are not dweebs,
we're um, obsessive intellectuals. Boy the press never
gets it right.
Speaking of press I was startled and jealous
that Vanguard got to actually TALK to Nigel for
an interview . All I got was e-mail responses
to questions for my interview with him. Hmmmpf. :(

Subject: Wars and such
Ok I have gotten a bunch of personal mail asking about the nature of
the wars and the fun Cherri and I have been having with the cow suit
thing. Sooo for the new friends on the list let me explain a important
fact.
The wars are just fun. Cherri and I are actually friends. ( was shocked
to find out some of the people thought we were fighting for real). In
the war the factions play wonderful jokes on each other and generally
try to out do each other. Behind the scenes all the factions are
working together to make the whole thing work. Everything is done with
permission from the people involved...yes we had Cherri's permission to
kidnap her...and Amy's permission to let Vachon hypnotize her into
thinking she was Janette. In the end we all wind up at a party...get
sloshed....flirt with the vamps of your choice....and try to stumble
back home <g>.
Yes I am rambling...but I don't want people to have the wrong idea.
As for who wins.....well NOBODY! some will come out of it a little less
damaged than others though <G>.
As for the post saying that the wars are getting bigger...I agree and
also think that we need to have a strong leader loop and good
communication between the leaders and their faction members for this
next one if we want to pull it off and stay sane.
Ok I feel better now

I just read part one of some fanfic and now can't find part two. It was
a tracy Vachon story where Tracy is going to go undercover to sign in an
amateur night near a UT campus.
Vachon is going to be the guitarist and she asks him to find a band. Can
someone help me find part two? Thanks ever so.

Subject: Wars, organization, and cross affliations
I can't wait to see how this "war" actually works. I understand
the theory -- Cousins v. Knighties v. etc, etc. But I've also
noticed a lot of cross affiliations. (ie: Knighties with
Cousinly tendencies, Ravenettes who are also Cousins, Cousins
who are also NatPackers)
How does it all stay at least somewhat organized? And how
do you avoid in-group fighting? Before someone tells me to
go read the archives -- I have read some of them. I'm
still curious. I'll go back and read some more. Or maybe I'll
just stay quiet and watch. (Me? Stay quiet and watch? Hey, that's
a new idea...)
BTW, who is the leader/organizer for the Knighties, Natpackers,
and/or Nick&NatPackers? Has that been decided?
