Subject: REVISED FK Vidcap Archive!
ANNOUNCING the largest and most comprehensive archive of quality
Forever Knight screen shots on the Net. Taken from the professional
DVD sets, the archive includes 12,800 captures from the first two
seasons. (Please note that the Season 3 archive is the same as the
old Season 3. It will be updated if and when the final season comes
out on DVD. For now, Seasons 1 and 2 are updated and complete.)
I would like to publicly thank Greer Watson for her input to the
archives. During the capture process, she culled through her tapes to
make suggestions for "don't miss" shots. Thanks to her efforts, I
have many "nuance" pictures I may have otherwise overlooked.
Since the release of the show on DVD, I've been working to update my
previous archive. It has been a long process, done in my spare time,
and while waiting for each new season to be released. At long last, I
can finally share this labor of love with my fellow fans.
~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know how many of you remember me, but I've been in the fandom
and a member of this list for ten years now. Early on, I created a
web page devoted to Forever Knight, and through much effort and the
help of friends, managed to put up an archive of screen captures from
all the episodes. That archive, while having small pictures of
fair-to-poor quality, has been immensely popular, to go by the
feedback I've received. My new archive should contain most, if not
all, of the same pictures with many more besides; all of them clearer
and larger than before.
Of interest: Each episode will have a larger number of screen
captures, showing the episode in a story board format. That means
there will be a number of "throwaway" shots, or shots that may seem
repetitive, but are there to help tell the story. This archive will
be a place for someone to go who doesn't have access to the DVDs or
tapes of the series and wants to "see" the episodes. There are lots
of pictures of our favorite characters, of course, including all the
classic shots we've come to know and love, including flashbacks and
vamped shots. I also have included extensive shots of guest
characters, including the guest vamps (Aristotle, Feliks Twist,
Divia, et al), sets, and props.
For those still writing FK fanfic, this updated archive should be a
treasure trove of information. Do you need to know what, exactly, was
on Natalie's computer screen? Have you needed a description of
objects in Nick's loft? All that, and more, in a redesigned, updated web site.
Have a look (note the new URL, please, and change your bookmarks
accordingly. If you have a link to the archive on your web page,
please change it to this):
http://www.knightwatchman.net
If you find any links that don't work properly, please let me know.
I've uploaded over 25,000 items in the past three days. I may have
missed one or two. <G>
As I am only on FORKNI-L, Knighties, and my own NNFic, please feel
free to forward this announcement if you think your list might be interested.

Nancy, this is phenomenal! It's quick-loading, easy to use, and above
all, the screencaps are wonderful! Thanks ever so for taking the time
to put this together.
Appreciatively

From one Nancy to another, you're most welcome! It's been a labor of
love, that's for sure. I just hope we get the third season DVDs so
that I can complete the project!

Wow, what an amazing site. Its so easy to use, you
don't have to wade through 20 useless screens to find
what you are looking for. Its so straightforward, and
so fast coming up. There are some sites that feel
like you are on dialup just waiting for the Page
headers to load. And I would also like to comment on
the wonderful diversity of the screencaps. Usually
you only find Nick and Jeanette and a little Natalie
on 90% of the caps. Nice variety, showing other
characters as well. A truly comprehensive amount of
work. Bravo.

I've always believed in simplicity of design on my webpages. There
are some beautiful sites out there that takes *ages* to load, thanks
to their graphic-heavy headers and backgrounds. I'm really pleased at
the response so far. This was a labor of love that took, literally,
years to get up and running, but I think (I hope, anyway) that the
wait was worth it.

That was my intent. I'm a Knightie and a N&NPacker, so of course, I
like lots of captures of Nick and Nat. But there were other
characters as well. We can't forget Schanke, and the Captains (Tracy,
Vachon, Screed and more will have better coverage when we get the
Season 3 DVDs). Plus, there were the guest vamps that almost never
get covered, but get asked for a lot, etc.
I really meant and hoped for this to be a *resource* site for folks.
There's a huge variety of shots -- many of the characters, but also
of the sets and props as well. So wade in and enjoy! :-D

Unfortunately, it's easier to picture Nick watching a televised sunrise,
drinking his usual beverage of choice, and brooding to "Who Wants to Live
Forever" in the background.
