Subject: Re: New Nat Faction ;)
Maybe sleep deprivation *is* a factor. :)
Sheesh, impinging Nat's honor like that... "Nat is bad." Poor girl
doesn't get any respect; the love of her life is a vampire; she's on strike;
they took away her apartment and her cat... and now this. As a Lady of
the Knight, I feel compelled to defend Nat when Nick isn't around to do it:
*Natalie is an angel* <sticking out tongue like a pouty four-year-old as if
that settles everything>. :)
Or were you joking?

You know you've been watching too much Forever Knight when...
You attend a lecture on Renaissance Art and the professor is describing how
Leonardo da Vinci left many of his paintings undone. You have this
irresistable urge to shout, "I know one he finished!"

I also wish to express my unease at this traumatic scenario.
It is simply outrageous to be asked to accept such blatant disrespect. The
very idea of being devoured by a creature whose choice meal is
rodentiferous... it shocks me to the tip of my tail.
This human conceit is becoming obtrusive. Should I meet my demise at the
fangs of a vampire, I absolutely insist that it be a FELINE vampire.
Preferably one with long, silky fur and a deep, soft purr. This is an
aspect of FK fandom that I believe has long been neglected on the list,
although I have often enjoyed the (notoriously human-oriented) debates
here.
Should any FK fans of my own ilk wish to debate this issue further, I am
available at my roommate's e-mail address. I am diligently petitioning for
my own e-mail account; failing that, I am working on vocalizing Jamie's
credit card number to the appropriate telephone operators. Until then, if
you wish to contact me, kindly place ELF: in the subject line, so that I
may alert the clueless human working the keyboard to NOT delete the posts.

Hi folks:
I'm not sure of the proper ediquette of how to do this, so
here it goes... My personal e-mail address has changed:

can now be reached at

I realize this doesn't affect most people on this list, but
I have posted a few people privately, and I wasn't sure whether
or not anyone was keeping track of e-mail addresses...
Sorry for the wasted bandwidth
Chana Rossman
Oh, BTW, since I'm wasting bandwidth -- it has come to my
attention people don't know how to pronounce my name.
Chana is prounced Hannah (or Hanna). The CH equals an H.
(The CH is *not* pronounced like it is in chalk) Not that
any of this really matters... :-)

Schanke, she wasn't angry with him. So how do you account for that?

But I'm sure she'd rather Vachon was there...

Subject: Tippi needs your advice on FK :)
Hello all,
Despite the fact that I talk as though I know everything (it's the Cousin in
me), I'm still pretty much a newbie (I shudder at the revelation). So I am
writing to ask the advice of those who have been on this list and on FKFIC-L
longer than I.
Here's the deal. I was on FKFIC for about three days four weeks ago and then
had to sign off because of the huge amounts of mail. But I'm about to sign
on again to post a story. Here's where the advice part comes in: The story
I'm gonna post may or may not get me into WAY BIG trouble.
The basic plot: The FK characters rally around their favorite TV show, called
Eternal Champion, about a supernatural Private Investigator. Anyway, the
show's been cancelled (sound familiar?) because of low ratings. To make a
long story short, Lacroix does some bad things to TPTB. Now, when you read
this story, I think it's pretty obvious what I'm talking about. But it's
really pretty humorous, and not nearly as gruesome as I could have made it...
So what's your opinion? Has anyone ever been hung out to dry over fanfic
before? Hell, I've been in trouble so much in my life you'd think I'd know
the answer to this by now. ;) And also, because I haven't been on FKFIC for
a while, I don't know if such a story has already been posted.
Let me know via private mail, unless it would benefit the whole list to see.
;)
Thanks!
Tippi

Schanke never saw the reds of Janette's eyes. He had his back to her. By
the time he turned around, her eyes were normal.
She probably was really very angry with him. After all, he snuck into her
abode, pawed through her stuff and woke her up. That would irritate the
bejesus out of me.

I have to admit I figured there would never be any more FK episodes or

and this list only. BUT one good thing about being a pessimist (realist?)
is that you do occasionally get *pleasantly surprised*, which is what
happened to me when I read these two posts.

Actually, I was wondering this too. I've been listening to the (wonderful)
Tangled Web "Hauntings" tapes and he doesn't sound much like the Ger of FK
on there (many other different people, in fact). Perhaps he suppresses his
accent part of the time. (I don't care which accent he's using/not using, I
just like to listen to him.)

I was so distressed that I clawed several Warm Fuzzies and the biped's
boots to ribbons. Of course, the biped didn't notice, since this is in
fact my normal behavior.
But I've been contemplating ways in which we might change the humanocentric
orientation of these lists. The biped seems to achieve notable results
with fiction. Let's see...
-------------
"Nicholassss!" LaCroix hissed, tail lashing wildly. "You will not disobey
me!"
Contemptuously, Nick groomed the long fur on his shoulder. "I am not your
plaything," he retorted.
"Did someone say plaything?" Urs said brightly, and batted a small
crocheted mouse across the floor.

I think it has potential; what say you?

I couldn't get rid of it either--until I threw on some old Moody Blues
(showing my age here). Whoa! FK-applicable lyrics *everywhere*.
Particularly the album 'Sur la mer'. Check out "Deep" (I want to taste your
love, and I want to go deep), "Want to be With You", "Breaking Point",
"Miracle". For the syndie-dependent there's "Here Comes the Weekend". And of
course, "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" and (on another album) "The
Other Side of Life".

I didn't mind TOO much about the Screed thing. At least someone

Hello! I am very new to this list and already I am concerned. I have been
watching FK on and off for the last 4-5 years when able.(Due to lack of funds
it was not always possible to watch.) I was very upset to find out the show
is being killed by TPTB. That is sooo wrong. So, I am now on a quest to do
my part to show support for this wonderfully entertaining program. I don't
have access to web pages or newsgroups-work provides me with e-mail only. If
someone would be so kind as to tell me how and if I can help, I would greatly
appreciate it. And I was just getting used to seeing it again :( I just
love that radio show La Croix has. Anyway, thanks in advance for everyone's

Subject: Gratuitous contribution to Top 10 lists
Y'know, I tried to sit down & do a top ten list of my favorite episodes
and failed utterly. I like too many of them and find it extremely
difficult to rank them. But I was able to come up with this:
####
***Top 10 Favorite Scenes from Forever Knight***
(I won't apologize for the preponderance of scenes listed herein that
involve Nick. My preferences along those lines are well known. And once
or twice in this list I've noted my reaction to the scene, which might
help explain why I liked it.)
10. "Dark Knight" -- When Nick realizes that Schanke has been assigned
to be his partner, he turns back to the main precinct room and says,
"Somebody shoot me... please...."
9. "Fever" -- I think this is still under spoiler protection, but there's
a scene between Vachon and Screed that is very touching. I can't watch
this bit without finding a soft place in my heart for both characters.
8. "Night in Question" -- Nat comes back to Nick's loft with some
groceries, only to find LaCroix standing there, holding a bottle of human
blood. Inexplicably, she fails to run out of the room screaming.
Allison, exhibiting the survival instincts Nat seems to lack, has to fight
off an overwhelming urge to bolt out of her living room. (I'm not
kidding. I had to hang onto the arms of my chair to keep from leaping
out of it.)
7. "The Human Factor" -- Without giving away any spoilers, let's just
say the first flashback scene. Anyone who's confused can e-mail me
privately, but those who've seen the episode will know what I mean.
6. "Hunters" -- After a hotel room with Schanke in it explodes, leading
Nick to think that Schanke must be dead, Nick looks back and says
"Schanke" in the most amazing deep, heartwrenching voice. (GWD's years
of acting experience come through beautifully in scenes like this.)
5. "Black Buddha, part I" -- Nick finds a tattered ticket at the site of
the plane crash and realized that it was Schanke's flight that crashed.
Once again using The Voice, Nick says Schanke's name and his legs seem to
lose their ability to hold him up. Allison cries.
4. "The Fix" -- Nick eats spaghetti off the plate of a mafioso. He
looks so happy doing it, while his partner and the mafioso look at him
like he's nuts. :)
3. "Cherry Blossoms" -- Nick is held immobile in a chair by acupuncture
needles. Janette comes in and utters one of the best all-time lines in
FK -- "An immovable feast." Yum.
2. "Cherry Blossoms" -- Nick is held immobile on a table by acupuncture
needles while a man holds a stake over him, ready to plunge it through his
heart. (OK, I know, you *really* think I'm a sick puppy now, but I love
it when Nick is in danger. So sue me.)
1. Canadian (& German) version of "Dead Issue" -- the end of the first
flashback scene. Nick, posing nude for a sculptor (we only get to see him
from the chest up), reaches out his arm in a delicate and graceful
gesture. Allison swoons and needs to be revived with smelling salts.

Well, that was fun! Anyone else have an alternate list? These Top 10
lists are actually very revealing! For example, in her top 10 favorite
episodes list, Marina Bailey (tmar@f.......) said:
> Favourite episodes... oh, boy...
>
> 1. Feeding the Beast
My oh my. "Feeding the Beast" is her #1 episode. She *is* a Dark
Knightie, isn't she? Best line from that episode -- "I'll show her what
backsliding really means" (or something to that effect).
I guess if I was forced to pick a #1 episode, I'd pick the episode that
brought me across -- "The Fix." After I saw this episode, I was
completely and utterly hooked. I guess Dark Knighties like Marina
wouldn't pick this episode, would they? Aw, c'mon, who can resist Nick
with a sunburn?

P.S. Message below the .sig -- Finding nothing wrong with the old method
of designating membership in the Knight/Knightie faction, I am stubbornly
leaving my faction designation the same. But others should pick
designations that appeal to them -- variety is the spice of life, after
all. For the record, I also think it should be considered adequate
statement of your membership in the Knight/Knightie faction to include the
word "angst" or "brood" anywhere in your .sig. ;^)
Now this post is really over. Promise.

I guess some of you were actually interested in my offer. I"m
sorry I couldn't help more of you out, but I only have one week and some
of my professors don't quite understand the meaning of the word "Break".
I can't wait to see all the eps I missed here in the
isolated college world! (Let's just say 1 am Sat. night is NOT the best
time to try to get to a TV.) Maybe some of them will change my mind as
to how depressing the 3rd season has been (I've really only seen Human
Factor and 1 other ep since the mid-season break.)

Subject: Help: Fiction: Mine
I already tried the database-search thingie to no avail, and am now begging
for help:
I have on my hard drive a bit of fiction that I must've written, about Nick
selling his Caddy in the year 2014. The file is dated December. Does
anyone know if I ever finished and posted this? If I did, could someone
send it to me? The piece I have appears to be a fragment.
Thanks, y'all.

Yes. We should. And then we should give it to Susan. <eg> I have

This is interesting--what breed of cat would LC,Nick, Nat etc. be? I
think Nat would be an Angora.
Ocean (an Angora)

Hello to all the other felines out there.
My name is Fuzzy-Boo, and I am speaking on behalf of my mother, and my
five siblings. We hope that our human, Dark Phoenix, is not been too
much of a bother. She tends to get easily side-tracked when she finds
something she likes. Does anyone else have this problem? She gets on
the computer and I can't even get into her lap for a good scratching!
I enjoy FK as much as the next feline, and my entire family
appreciated that nice piece of fan-fic. I think we need Sidney back!
He had a good relationship with his human (she knew who was boss!) and
I feel that is an example all our humans could learn from.
Oops, I hear our human coming...nice chatting with all of you and we
are glad to know that the felines are represented on the 'net.
May your hunting be good!
Fuzzy-Boo, Tom, Lucky, Skittles, Lil' Tiger, Roly-Poly, and Shadow
Mostly proud owners of Dark Phoenix

Try urinating on the hard drive. This usually gets their attention in quick
order.
Good hunting to you as well,

i don't know what Nick would be. i try to avoid cats so i don't know too
many breeds by name. He could be a Manx and angst over being incomplete,
i really don't know. He looks like a fuzzy baby lion.
Nat would definitely be an angora, you're absolutely right there, Ocean.
Schanke would be a groundhog, Stonetree a badger, Cohen a magpie (i think
i'm picking these randomly), Janette a mink, Screed a meerkat, Urs a
fish (whatever kind those ones in Disney's Fantasia were), Reese a bear,
Vachon one of those dogs - i think they're some kind of mutant poodle -
the kinds that one mistakes for a throw rug or a really big pile of lint
until it bites you, the kind that doesn't seem to have any eyes? That
one.Or a Tribble.
Uh, Tracy's a fawn (gangly with big eyes. Maybe a foal.), Miklos a
crow (or a bat), and LaCroix the lead singer for the Stray Cats, all
tattooed arms, duck-bill hair, and leather jacket. Aaayyyeeee. No,
Sigfreid's (Sigfried, whatever) 3rd white tiger from the left. The one
on the rubber ball.
i'm running a fever so maybe i should sign this "Bun-Bun, Susie, Spotty,
Brownie, and Whitie" but somehow i think if i channeled our passed-on
rabbits, they'd have something more useful to say.
i think we should turn them all into sausage-sized silverfish and let
them loose in Feltheimer's office. i can't believe i responded to this
thread.
If each of the FK characters was a McDonald's burger, what burger do
you think they'd be? And would you like fries with that?
