Not that I really truly expect any more answers than last time, but hey,
I'll give it a shot. I'm looking for one very specific piece of
Tracy-centric FK fanfic. The loss of it is still nagging at me, a good 18
months later, so I'm asking around again in case anyone has stumbled
across it.
It's very long, and when I saw it it was posted in one piece (one of those
stories where the scrollbar is about 3mm high?). It's a post-LastKnight
story, with Tracy engaged to some random Mary-Joe. The basic plot is that
she survived LastKnight (mis-tagged), and Lacroix wiped her mind. As her
memories start slowly resurfacing, she starts trying to find out what
happened and digs up the whole royal mess.
Nick&Nat are nowhere to be found, presumed dead. Janette is in New
York, and is funneling Nick's charity money into projects housed
in the old Raven building. Vachon survived thanks to a bottle of blood
Tracy buried with him. I don't remember what was up with Lacroix.
The major thing I remember was when Tracy was trying to get her fiancee to
help with her investigation, sneaking around in the old basement of the
Raven and looking for crates of blood bottles, which Tracy approximates to
be "about the size of a box of printer paper." The imposition of such a
mundane frame of reference onto such a bizarre situation really impressed
me.
Anyway, so, I'm still looking for this story. If any of you hang in
circles with others who might have seen it, please feel free to forward
this to them. I really want to find the story again.

I think the story you are referring to is "Corners of the Mind" by Amy
R. written in June 1997. I found it archived at FKfanfic.com I
don't know if its still there, but it was in January of 98 when I printed
it out!

If you have a minute, take a look at:
http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/2167/cross.htm
where I've posted the pictures of some props and set dressing items I can't
identify. They're from the show, but not even the prop people remember
where they were from. Some could have been nothing more than background
and barely seen.
Lemme know if you can identify any.

You know you've either been reading too much fanfic or are way too bored when
the letters "FK" jump out at you in the middle of a project at work and
completely out of context.

Subject: USA, SciFi, Rod Perth
Here's some recent news regarding USA, The SciFi Channel and Rod Perth. How
are these connected to FK? Well, it seems like USA has some time on their
hands and the SciFi Channel is offering up some reruns, short term ones at
that. So. maybe there's an opening for FK to return to the schedule. If you
haven't written them in awhile, now would be a great time!

*** USA Cable loses WWF to Viacom
LOS ANGELES (Zap2It.com) - A Delaware judge slammed USA Networks
chief Barry Diller when it ruled that the WWF could walk away from
USA and sign a five-year deal with Viacom, despite USA's first-look
agreement, according to industry sources. Chancellor William Chandler
from the state Chancery Court in Wilmington, Delaware dismissed the
lawsuit late Tuesday that USA has brought against Vince McMahon's
World Wrestling Federation. USA had argued that the network should
have been given first consideration for renewal - even though they
couldn't match Viacom's bigger and broader offer for the rights.
"This is a fantastic victory," Viacom's chairman Sumner Redstone told
Variety. "TNN will now become of the most important networks in all
of cable." The decision is a huge gain for Viacom-owned TNN, which
later this year will pick up the cable rights to the wrestling series
"Raw Is War," which is consistently ranked as USA's top-rated show.
Under the five-year deal, TNN will be getting the series "Raw Is
War," "Livewire" and "Superstars," while MTV will get "Sunday Night
Heat." UPN will be gaining an extension for "WWF Smackdown," the show
that turned the network around last season, and will be gaining the
Sunday games of the XFL, the extreme football game slated for
February by WWF Entertainment and NBC. Among other highlights of the
deal with Viacom are options for books, big-screen development,
pay-per-view events in Canada, primetime TV specials, radio shows and
theme-park attractions.
SciFi Channel:
Sci Fi Channel is bringing back three quickly-cancelled shows this summer:
Fantasy Island (the Malcolm McDowell 1998-99 version) with 13 episodes; The
Crow: Stairway to Heaven (first run syndication) for 22 episodes; and
Highlander: The Raven (first run syndication) with 22 episodes. Fantasy
Island begins 7/11, and Crow and Highlander will air back to back beginning
7/23.
News on Rod Perth
Rod Perth has resigned from Jim Henson Television, just 14 months after he
started, and four months after the company was purchased by German based EM
TV. Perth says all was left amicably and he is looking forward to pursuing
other interests in the industry.

Subject: PerkCon Report!
Hi y'all.
First, I wanted to apologize to anyone that gets this more than once. I'm too
lazy to type out individual messages to each list I'm sending this announcement
to. <g>
Anyway, to my point: My PerkCon Page is done!!! It's got the full Evil Cousin
Tiff report and fun pictures. (Just remember to give the pics page a lot of time
to load, the pics are kinda large.)
The addy is:
http://homepages.go.com/~willow_42/perkcon/perkcon.html
Enjoy! (And when you're done check out my other web pages. <g>)
Hugs!

Subject: Fk on DVD at Imix - An idea?
Don't know how many of you own DVD players or make your own CDs, but
http://www.imix.com offered to make cds for you in the order you want...etc. I
even think they have the stuff from FK there (just Fred Molin's stuff though).
Anyway, they are having this survey where you can tell them what you want to
see on DVD and although FK isn't an option on there, I imagine if we innundate
them with mail saying we'd be willing to purchase episodes (perhaps 2 or 3 a
DVD) in a minute, they will be more inclined to talk to TPTB for us, and they
would have more weight than we do.
Their standard "Talk back to us" survey is here

This is a good idea but 2 or 3 e-mails a minute from lots of people could shut
down a server and be considered a spam attack. I wouldn't send quite that
many. I just don't want anyone to get in trouble.
