Uh HUH!

If they are letting everything else fade away, someone with a little love
should take it over next year when it expires.  They clearly haven't even
changed the tech contact or anything

I wonder if we could all agree on who has the DEFINITIVE FK site that needs
a domain name.  It would be a great location for a central index of sites,
list of eps, character descriptions, etc.

Hmm...I'm writing a 'Sex And The City'/FK crossover, but since the tv series
is based upon a book, I'd planned to stick it on my website,
then simply announce here that it exists.

Then Libs wrote:
<snip> Check with McLisa about that one (and I'm sure she'll read this and pop
in on the conversation - hahahah), but I think even advertising it here might
be a bit risky.<snip>

Hmm...well, maybe I won't announce it here when it's on my website. Unless
McLisa says I can.

And that's why the RCMP signed a contract with Disney to get help with
copyright & trademark protection for RCMP souvenirs, which were being
greatly abused. The Mounties took a lot of flack for it, and they didn't
renew Disney's 3-year contract when it expired, but they were definitely
learning from the experts.
Garfield is covered by trademark & copyright protection too.

P. L Travers wrote the Mary Poppins books. I understand that her(?) family
was very irritated at the Disneyfication of Travers' famous character, who
was _not_ syrupy-sweet in the books. IIRC, Travers' Mary Poppins could be
downright ornery.

Regarding a crossover which couldn't go on Fkfic-l because of the print and
film copyright thing, Bonnie Rutledge says

Announcements are fine. AFAIK, there can only be lawsuits over actual
postings. By all means, announce it.

Actually, I seem to remember a television series that was very similar to
Mary Poppins.
Not sure of the title...think was The Nanny & The Professor...very hazy
memory of blonde lady, a dark haired father, two cute tykes and a dog.
Which pretty much sums up a lot of tv shows from when I grew up! LOL!

How about a crossover of FK and Lost in Space?
LaCroix gets stuck aboard the Robinson's ship and...hmm...no.  The only
surviving character past a week would be Robbie the Robot and LaCroix..
Then it would turn into a parody of the movie 2001 with the audience
wondering whether Robbie would drive LC crazy before LC could find a handy
screwdriver or can opener...

The only thing that worries me is if one of us owning the domain and using it
for fannish purposes alarmed TPTB.... I'd hate for them to even start to
"regulate" us.

But, then again, they've really been wonderful with all our fannish pursuits
so they may think it is great!<g>

There are many domain names available at
www.spot.cc
Yours for the picking.  That's where I registered mine.
It's the new registry being used in the US.  So there are any number of FK
related names that you could register as there are so few used at this

Hi all!

I need a little advice, off-list of course. I'm looking to build a
Forever Knight website of my own to put up fanfic, pix, links, etc. and
I need to choose a home page provider. I've been looking at XOOM.com
because of the unlimited space they offer, but I'm open to suggestions.

Anyone have any advice/opinions to offer? I'll shamelessly accept any
help I can get! ;)

If anyone wants to buy it I checked at Network Solutions this morning and
www.foreverknight.org is still available.  I am not so sure would want to buy
another one as I own 4 myself now and I don't know whether I could handle
another one, but it would be nice to get it before someone who doesn't really
care about FK gets it  Hint--Hint (TPTB is who I mean of course.)  The people
who DO own FK,  to me don't really deserve it.

Winzip version 7.0 and above also has a mime decoder included in the
program, and a free trial version can be downloaded at www.winzip.com.

Unfortunately, when my e-mail came through I didn't even have the funny
symbols and stuff everybody else was talking about.  My thanks to whomever
it was that described the pic.  After the description, I remembered seeing
it before.  It's even more funny now that I'm an FK fan.  <BG>

Subject: SFC Website and FK

Not sure how many people have found this yet, but the Sci Fi Channel's
newly revamped page (pun intended <g>) contains a section for FK,
including an episode guide and downloadable files -- I was pleasantly
surprised considering that it's no longer in the SFC schedule!

The link below will take you to the FK section over at SFC.

I was putting labels on folders on work and, on every one, amidst a bunch of
meaningless numbers, are the letters FK.

Ok, obviously they probably don't mean Forever Knight, but I think this is a
good sign.  :)
