Does anyone else besides me have the feeling that we'll be seeing more
FK commercials on USA for the SciFi channel than we ever saw on USA for

Hmmm..me thinks the lady (or Goddess) doth protest too much! <G>

Regarding your webpages...I went and downloaded 2.0, or at least I tried,
the power went out in the whole "Brick" area and then I said the heck  with
it. But then, you post this web page addresses that need 2.0, so back I go.
I get in downloaded, lock up my machine (don't ask, its SOP with me at the
keyboard) Some where in here I also made a frantic call to Susan, who was
patient as always, that was about the Eudora though...anyway, I finally get
tho these 2 pages and I just want to say that it was well worth the trip! I
was impressed! The are true works of art!

Kudos to the Goddess! (even if she is denying her true calling)

Subject: Need ep!!!!!!

  Hey guys, I'm back! Midterms got over but my mailbox was overflowing
from personal mail so I've only just now gone back on mail. I MISSED YOU
GUYS!! I'll be quiet now. My VCR managed to go all wonky and only taped
the last half our of the ep which aired on March 9 (Nova Scotia airdate).
Would someone be able to help me out? I've been gone so long that I feel
very out of touch, what's the latest on the SOS?
  I finally got to see an ep with Urs, Vachon (what a babe), and Screed.
Now I want to know if Screed is some sort of lacky type towards Vachon?
It seems to me that there is a sort of Dominator/Submissive relationship
between the two of them. And just for those of you whose minds are as
sick as mine, I don't mean and Anais Nin kind of D/S.

Yeah, I want to hear "Because the Night" by Patti Smith for the fact that it
lends itself well to FK and "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer, just because I
haven't heard it in a while, and I need inspiration for writing "Urs's Big
Idea" (disco stuff an' nat)  (for the pittsburghese impaired, this means and
that).

Subject: A Word from the Challenge Master

Yup, that's me! Why? Because I have all these GREAT story ideas, but no
time (and admittedly little skill) to write them. While several of my
ideas involve crossovers (I have one generic xover generator concept
that can applied to any fandom), some are simply based on my personal
knowledge of Toronto and its environs. Although I'm sure that some of my
ideas have already been used in fanfic, I haven't seen any of them
posted on the list or in the archives YET (feel free to point me to the
ones I missed). In fact, it has been a long time since I have seen any
new STORY challenges issued, let alone answered.

In order to reduce the chaos potential of this idea, I would like to
propose some suggestions. (These are strictly voluntary, of course, but
I think you'll find your work will go more smoothly if you follow them.)

1.  The subject line of all challenge stories should begin with the word
    "CHALLENGE: " (all caps followed by a colon and one space). The
    remainder of the subject can be EITHER the challenge name OR the
    story title OR (if there is room) both of them in that order.

2.  If the answer to a challenge is a multipart story, please number the
    parts in the subject, and write "To be continued ..." on the last
    line (or "Please continue ..." if you want someone else to finish
    the story). I recommend that you post only one part per day so that
    the parts won't be received out of order.

3.  Read my "FKFIC-L Formatting suggestions" post based on the FK FAQ
    file (I'll e-mail it to you privately if you missed it). I am
    perfectly willing to beta read any challenge answers to correct
    formatting problems before you post them to the list, but I'd prefer
    to get them as file attachments rather than included message text
    (making them easier to correct and return to you).

4.  If your post is a direct sequel from another author's post, please
    identify the original post by author and subject at the top of the
    message text. Also list any episode or fanfic references you think
    may be needed to understand your story.

Here are a few of my challenge ideas. They are divided into xover and
non-xover categories, although you can add xover elements to non-xover
stories at your discretion. (These also qualify as my-favorite-episodes-
that-were-never-made.)

"Medieval Knight" - (non-xover) A murder by sword has occurred in the
        dressing room at the "Medieval Times" dinner and tournament
        facility in Toronto. Det. Nick Knight has been called in to
        investigate. The story must contain at least one sword fight
        between Nick and the villain. (Undercover work optional.)

        (NOTE: There are several "Medieval Times" restaurants scattered
        around the U.S. besides the one in Toronto [e-mail me for the
        information phone numbers] which provide a three course banquet
        (fixed menu) at a re-creation of an 11th century tournament,
        including feats of horsemanship, jousting, sword fighting and
        other games at a simulated medieval castle. The audience gets to
        cheer their own knight [and his allies] and boo his enemies, and
        a lady from the audience is chosen by the champion to be his
        "Queen of Love and Beauty".)

        Possible motive: "He knew too much" - the victim discovered some
        criminal activity at the show (smuggling valuable artifacts in
        [or as] props or cheap reproductions for the gift shop, "horse
        crimes" involving the rare and valuable Andalusian stallions
        used in the show [think thoroughbreds], etc.), and was silenced.

        Possible motive: "Crime of passion" - the motive was personal,
        and the weapon was one of opportunity. A fertile ground for red
        herrings. For plots, think murder mysteries at a theater or a
        circus - "Medieval Times" combines elements of both.

        Possible motive: "There can be only one" - unavoidable HL xover.
        Can be combined with either of the above motives.

        Possible Scenes: Nick (as Nat's guest) moves the food from his
        plate to Nat's during the "Druid's Blessing" when the lights are
        dimmed (a teaser to the body's discovery), Nick plays with sword
        at gift shop (with flashbacks), Nick (undercover) chooses Nat as
        his "Queen of Love and Beauty", Nick recognizes something from
        his past (sword, armor, family crest, etc.) among the souvenirs
        or props, Nat secretly orders the "de Brabant" coat-of-arms and
        family history from "Historical Research Center" booth for
        Nick's birthday.

"Spellbound Knight" - (non-xover) There is a fairly large Wiccan
        community in the Toronto area that (in Nick's world) would
        certainly be aware of the vampires in their midst. Now, members
        of a local coven are being murdered in bizarre ways that point
        to a supernatural explanation. Why did they ask that Nick be
        assigned this case? How does Tracy (a lapsed Catholic) deal with
        an pagan religion? Where did Nat meet the coven members before?
        And what are the new ingredients in her "protein shakes"?

"Everybody's a Critic" - (non-xover) Write a book review for "Out of the
        Coffin: One Vampire's Journey into the Light" by (?).

"He Walked Around the Caddy" - (non-xover) Nick suddenly finds himself
        in parallel world where he and his friends have never existed -
        except as television characters in a recently cancelled series.
        How does he get home (or even survive)? [NOTE: the title is
        borrowed from H. Beam Piper's "He Walked Around the Horses", a
        parallel world story based on a true incident, the disappearance
        of British diplomat Benjamin Bathurst outside a Prussian inn.
        Since this happened on November 25, 1809, Nick might very well
        have memories of the event.] Feel free to rescue Nick yourself.

"(S)He Walked Around the (?)" - (non-xover) A fan or cast member of FK
        suddenly finds him/herself in a parallel world where the show is
        real. How does (s)he get home (or even survive in a world with
        vampires)? [NOTE: there are no fan factions in this world, and
        the characters would be shocked to discover people who know
        their secrets, or strangers who look like them. See the NOTE in
        the previous challenge for further information.] Feel free to
        include yourself, but please play the situation seriously (if
        you can't do something here, you couldn't do it there).

"The Exchange Program" - (non-xover) Nick and Ger switch places. See
        last two challenges for ideas. [NOTE: this would work as well
        for any other cast/character combination.] I'm sure this has
        been done before, but I've never seen it myself, and the idea is
        too general to copyright.

"Nat's Deja Vu" - (non-xover) Another of Nat's "patients" wakes up, and
        this time she's ready. But how do you handle an abandoned (and
        thirsty) fledgling? Obvious fanfic, but I've never seen it done.

"A Matter of Trust" - (non-xover) Nat reads a book about coroner seduced
        by a vampire as part of a plot to take control of a small city.
        In it, a convenient psychopath is hypnotized to kill a couple of
        cops (friends of the coroner) on the verge of discovering their
        secret as part of an atrocity killing many innocent bystanders.
        Now Nat has to decide if life has imitated art (or vice versa).

"Keystone/Threshold - The Unlimited Xover (T.U.X.)"
       "No one knows who built these gateways between worlds, the half
        teardrop shaped crystaline *keystones* that open them, or the
        stone passages that connect the gates. All that is known is that
        once you pass the threshold, you cannot use the same gate to
        return. Do not fear - the keystone on the other side will lead
        you to the nearest usable gate. Be careful not to lose it, for
        it is your only ticket home."

        I thought up this idea years ago, long before "Sliders", as a
        way to get characters from one story universe to another. I
        couldn't never decide which stories to mix and match. E-mail for
        more details about this concept.

"Saturday Morning Knight" - (xover) After staying up late (until noon)
        watching Saturday morning cartoons with Nat, Nick dreams about
        cases involving the characters he saw. Possible dreams:

        "ReVamp" - Using GVP VR gear (yes, I know it was destroyed, but
        this is a DREAM), Nick is ported out of the Vamp game and into
        the world of Mainframe, where he helps Bob defeat Megabyte.

        "Marvel Vampire Universe" - Dr. Doom and the Mandarin join
        forces with LaCroix to take over the world, forcing Nick to seek
        out Reed Richards and Tony Stark. Vachon joins a furry biker
        gang to fight a really cheesy villain.

        "Mighty Morphing Power Vampires" - Tired of the opposition in
        Angel Grove, Lord Zed turns his attentions towards Toronto, but
        meets with some unexpected resistance. Zordon creates new Zords
        for the local heros.

        "VampiRe Troopers" - Using GVP VR gear (see "ReVamp") and a
        spare virtualizer, Nick joins the VR Troopers to fight Grimlord.

        "Night Flyers" - A strange boat with four passengers (three
        statues and a New York cop) drifts into Toronto harbour. When
        night falls, the statues vanish. Suddenly Nick is no longer
        alone in the night sky. (I know there was an HL/Gargoyles xover,
        but I can't remember if FK showed up in it.)

        "Nicky and the Brain" - Nat gets a new lab mouse from Acme Labs
        who promises Nick a cure for his curse in exchange for his aid
        in world domination. Meanwhile, Tracy helps her new pet try to
        find his lost friend.

        "Nat's New Look" - Our favorite coroner finds a mysterious
        wooden mask in the personal effects of one of her "clients," and
        feels compelled to put it on. When she does ...

        "Tracy's New Look" - Nick's perky partner finds a mysterious
        wooden mask at a crime scene, and feels compelled to put it on.
        When she does ...

        "Sidney's New Look" - (ARRGH, Somebody Stop Me ....)

        "The Adventures of Natalie Lambert" - At a crime scene in an
        abandoned warehouse, our favorite coroner is accidently doused
        in a mysterious chemical that give her strange powers...

        "The Adventures of Tracy Vetter" - At a crime scene in an
        abandoned warehouse, Nick's perky partner is accidently doused
        in a mysterious chemical that give her strange powers...

        "The Adventures of Sidney Lambert" - While hunting a mouse in an
        abandoned wareho<KLONNNG!!!> OWW! Thanks for stopping me. <THUD>

"Warrior Coroner" - (xover) When Nat grasps the handle of an ancient
        Greek sword used as a murder weapon, she changes places in time
        with her remote ancestor, Xena. How does a Warrior Princess deal
        with modern Toronto? How does a rational scientist deal with a
        world where the ancient gods are real? And (of course) how do
        they get back home? (Inspired by a Spiderman/Red Sonya xover
        comic I read many years ago.) Must include following scene:
                (Tracy leaves)
                Xena: (staring after her) Is she always like that?
                Nick: (shrugs) You get used to it.
                Xena: (bemused) I know what you mean.

"Perky is Forever" - (xover) When Tracy touches an ancient Greek amulet
        found at a crime scene, she changes places with her remote
        ancestor, Gabrielle. (Possible sequel to "Warrior Coroner")

I think that's enough for now. Good writing.

Ahhhhh  Redemtion is pretty much a self serving interest.  All basic

OUCH!  Are you *trying* to push some Cousinly buttons? <g> LC
may not have been interested in obtaining *that* book, although he
may have if he thought Nickie was getting close to something
dangerous, he'd want it first, of course, BUT, if Dear Lily procured
something of equal value for LC *and* he felt like it, sure, he'd let
them out the back door.
LC isn't without loyalty.  He did repay the Godfather in "Father's Day".
Nick is on this totally unaceptable quest, and he hasn't killed him, or
let anyone else kill him.  Obviously, from "The Fix", LC is concerned
about  "Those who sustain our secret" coming down on Nick.

>Nick would have been molded by a master in selfishness anyway
>after he was brought over. :)

That's the whole thing about Nick, he's not that pliable.  LC has been
trying to mold him into a proper vampire for eight centuries, and right
away, his first week of feeding (I think in "C&C)  He doesn't
throw in. He started the Angst right there. And in "Blood Money" he
defies his teachings and that was ages ago. He is resiliant, resistant
to change, after eight centuries he's still seeking a way into the
heaven he died believing in.  That's why he's so much fun for LC to
taunt.  I mean, really, Nick is wearing LC down!  LC has *given up*
trying to knock sense into him, and is more of a voyeur, just watching
Nick torture himself, teasing him from his little booth.

Nat tries to get him to follow her regimines, protien shakes, vitamins,
sun ****ing bed, EATING, nibbling, not drinking any blood.  But does
he do it?   No, no, no, no, no, no, he can't even remember to take
his vitamins.  And the minute her back is turned, he's at the bottle.
(Total Spoiler discussion this topic RE "Games Vampires Play")
He wants Instant Humanity, he wants "The Fix".  He doesn't want to
change, he wants a cure.

I am not a Valetine, far from it actually.  However, LC can have all the
babes (Excuse my english)  in Ravenland that he feels compelled to
discretely engage.  However, I believe the man (Vampire) is starving
for some intelligent company.  Especially without Janette.  I think he
actually *enjoyed* the conversation with Schanke in "Close Call",
aside from being pissed at Janette and Nick for leaving so many loose
ends. Who is he going to chat with?  Miklos, who hangs upside down
in a closet?  Vachon?  Urs, who could only depress him?  His callers?
Boring Boring Boring
Someone wrote a very refreshing piece of Fan Fic, (I suppose I'll hunt
for it when I'm through ranting.) where LC meets a charming mortal who
is capable of entertaining him on his level, and he LOVES her company.
[okay, it's "Child of Truth" by Merry Troupe]

Nat is not afraid of LC and he knows it.
I think LC could conceivably become involved with Nat. on a level where
they talk, play chess, he teaches her to be more computer literate, they
discuss  Mass Murders, and have whatever physical relationship FK
vampires who *reek* of self control can have.  I see LC having no problem
being with a mortal for certain pleasures, without loosing control.
That way, she will shrivel and die before he grows tired of her.,....
unless of course, at the first sign of a wrinkle she *orders* him to bring
her across.
As far as LC destroying Nat, in whatever form, his whole reason for
being in Toronto is Nick, if he kills Nat, he looses any hope of
reclaiming Nick.. They all know that.

All these pages of  talk of Nick and Nat in a Mortal relationship is more
along the line of Wishful thinking.  First off, if LC doesn't bring him back
across and destroy the cure, he'll *kill* him in a final act of parental
disgust. But if LC is somehow out of the picture, won't the Enforcers ice
Nick? And Nat to boot.  It's a giant vampire No No, becoming mortal is.
He is really wasting his time.  Seeking to be a more humanitarian
vampire is one thing, seeking to be mortal, is seeking to be destroyed.
But it does make for some great storytelling, this quest of Nick's.

        If y'all will re-read Nigel's post on SPOILER, you'll see that he's
been looking for the last three days of posts... and I don't believe
there's been any. We're not posting much over there, since there's no new
eps; so there haven't been too many digests dropping into my mailbox.

        Of course, if I'm wrong, then Compuserve AND Prodigy are hosed this
week. But the fact that our Most Notorious Lurker posted a "where'd you all

server... amuses me no end. :D

        Jamie is a Natpacker/Merc. :( (ObAnnoy Celeste) NOT a cousin. Not
that I've ever really understood the dynamic that makes someone become a
Cousin in the first place...  but it's lacking in the WebGoddess. At least,
NOW it's lacking. Her kind of evil is now all shiny and bouncy, like it's
been washed by Pert Plus or something, for bouncin' and behavin' badness.
Cousins, it seems to me, tend to be more out-and-out fiendish, like Snively
Whiplash meets Calvin Klein and then takes control of the IRS. Mercs, of
course, are chameleons, who are evil in whatever way they're being paid to
be evil... or not, as the situation calls for.

        While we're on the subject of parties (we weren't? well, we are
now) Courtney Hilliard, Catherine Boone, Linda Fried and I all had a nice
stuff-your-face, watch-videos, laugh-hysterically-at-DRACULA kind of party
on Tuesday. Pictures of the NATPE 7 were distributed, the cup with the
fangmarks was "ooooh"'d over, and plans for the Denver Season Finale party
were discussed. Catherine's a fun chick (as are the rest of the Denver
Contingent, of course) and a good time was had by all. No quote list,
nothing that memorable came out of it.

        Linda also mentioned what a good job the Merc's ELewis (Elizabeth)
was doing in organizing the HL Wars, currently in progress. ;) SOME of you
are having waaaaayy too much fun over there, from what I've heard. And
whoever stole Duncan's barrette---I'll pay good money for it... A slight
tie-in to our Wars: Marina claims she just stayed in Toronto, at Nick's
place, after the rest of the Knighties left.  She kept trying to "see Nick
without his shirt by hiding in the closet while he was changing. Of course,
it didn't work, 'cause he always heard my heartbeat..."

           Last. And certainly least. My nomination for Tackiest Drink in
the Cousin Bar:  A Long Sloe Screw Up Against the Wall with Uncle. :)  This
is a Long Island Iced Tea/Sloe Gin Fizz/Screwdriver/Harvey Wallbanger mix,
very potent, with the obligatory Ribena. I've never had one, but I've been
told that after one of these, you don't need to drink anything else...

You know you've been watching too much FK when:
Just a few more scenes from my wacky, messed up life.

I'm eating an orange, and instead of breaking off individual pieces and
eating them whole, I just bite into it, sucking out all the juice,
pretending its someone's neck.

I'm in my Women and Crime class, and we are having a discussion about
battered women.  Why is it, that throughout the whole lecture all I can
think about is "A Fate Worse Than Death?"  This line was running through my
mind:  So Nicola, what will this law of yours say about the woman that turns
her back on the man that is destroying her.  Of the victim that finds the
strength to become the bird of prey."

And when I proudly tell my mom about the "Vampire Sex Club"  in Toronto, and
brag about how I would order the house special- Chicken Blood mixed with
wine, and my mom hassles me about getting samonella poisioning.

Oh well, just the day in the life of a wannabe vampire `^V^`

Hi there, Dalton, welcome to the lists. I think you'll find that your
volunteered instructions for formatting and titling fiction on FKFIC-L
have already been anticipated by those of us who have been on the
lists for some time.

While I understand the temptation to throw out random ideas in hopes
that someone else will write a story you won't give your own time to,
I'm afraid it's fairly futile.  We have many excellent authors on the
list, all of whom have more ideas than they can handle themselves.
This is largely why it is considered proper for the initiator of a
challenge to "throw out" the first entry: Otherwise we'd be awash in
passing ideas no one had time to give attention to.

I realize that, as a newcomer, you probably haven't had a chance to
pick up on things like this. (Perhaps a slightly-longer lurking period
is in order?) Feel free to private email me if you have any questions.

Subject: PARTY!!!!

I got an okay from my mom tonight to have my FK/Vampyre party.  Once again,
it's the Tulsa, OK area, I won't know exact date until I get the run week of
Last Knight.

I've already gotten one message of interest, so it's a definite as of now.
Anyone who can make it is welcome.  Plan for weirdness, Ribena, strange
movies, and George the Plastic Bat (who will be making a rare appearance
outside my room).  There may also be some fan friends off mine who aren't on
the list for various reasons.

I'm going to try to put together a sub-theme of the Vampyre's Funeral,
which, considering, is just preparation for the next shot around.  If anyone
has any ideas, or is interested in attending, e-mail me at phoenix@i........

Will hopefully have occasional updates on progress put up.  Ta-ta for now!

Subject: YKYB... and ANOTHER drink recipe

You know you've been watching too much FK when:

1.  It scares you when you're watching (spoiler-protected ep. title here)
and the time of (SPOILER)'s death is 12:36 am.  You look at your clock and
it's 12:36 am. (Insert Twilight Zone theme here)

2.  You can actually quote along with the Nightcrawler.  In an episode
you've never seen before.

Hmmmmm... maybe there's something to codeine after all (still on the stuff!
Don't worry, I'll be off in a few days)

And now, the drink.  As there have been no other suggestions as to the
Official Cousin's Ingredient, I'll assume Pernod/Absinthe.

SEX WITH UNCLE ON THE BEACH (variant of the original Sex on the Beach, as
printed in _The Complete Bartender_ by Robyn M. Feller, Berkeley Books, 1990)

1 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. Midori melon liqueur
1/2 oz. Chambord (or other raspberry liqeur.  For an FK feel, you may want
to       replace some or all with Ribena)
1 1/2 oz. pineapple juice
1 1/2 oz. cranberry juice cocktail
dash Pernod or Absinthe (not replacing anything)

Fill mixing glass with ice.  Add vodka, Midori, Chambord, pineapple juice, &
cranberry juice.  Shake.  Pour into Highball glass.  Add dash of
Pernod/Absinthe.

My siblings have had something at least similar to the original, and
pronounced it good (they're older than I am).  If anyone tries this, please
tell me how it turns out.

Until I come up with something else, yours,
