That was probably me:
http://foreverknight.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
Small, hoping for more information, and open for additions. Real life
has been keeping me from editing (working 60+ hours a week will do
that), but this kind of information about the history would be a nice
addition. Truthfully anything would be a nice addition. Right now
it's...me.

Well, it turns out that fanhistory.com isn't the tool I thought it
was going to be - a place where we could preserve our history.
Sad, but true.
I'm sorry for everyone who worked on populating the Forever Knight
section. Look at page source, save your work as a text file, and put
it somewhere. It will be useful to you or to someone at some point.
If nothing else, it did allow me to become acquainted with a lot of
stuff from other people that I hadn't seen in some time and get a
handle on some of my won stuff (of which I'd forgotten).

some fan memories, if any, about Ger and Catherine's performance of A. R.
Gurney's "Love Letters" at the Red Barn.
Oh, now THAT I would have loved seeing. Those two together in Love Letters!

I popped by the http://foreverknight.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page site
and it's Mediawiki software based, so it's mostly the same formatting
as fan history. Most of the work put into fan history could be
adjusted easily enough and added to the site.
Who is administering the site?
I note that wikia is a for-profit supported by advertising. They
have a use statement that seems promising "Wikia is committed to
openness, inviting anyone to contribute web content. Authors retain
their own copyrights and allow others to freely reuse their content
under a variety of GNU and Creative Commons Licenses, allowing
widespread distribution of knowledge and ideas."
After my first foray into the wiki area, I'm a little gunshy, but it
looks amenable toward the purpose I had originally envisioned -
capturing bits of the history of Forever Knight fandom in an area
that everyone can contribute something and which will be usable as a
reference site.
What does everyone think? Is that the new place we should call home
(if the Forever Knight wiki admins don't mind us doing a bit of
gardening, throwing a couple coats of paint on the walls, and
furnishing the place)?

Subject: Episode Scheduling Reminder: Curiouser And Curiouser
Nick is mortal.
Schanke is a straight-arrow can-do-no-wrong uberdetective.
Natalie is "this close" to being terminated for sexual liasons with a
subordinate (Nick) who is cheating on the mother of his child (Janette)
with Lieutenant Lambert - chief of the detectives.
Did I forget to mention that Cohen is dressed to thrill and running The
Raven??
Has two weeks of grey skies and pouring rain finally made my brain
crack? Well, yes...that is why I am about to blow the afternoon off and
go home and have some fun...but the real cracking was years ago when
that trip into FK's version of the Mirror Universe - Curiouser and
Curiouser - was written.
So....mix up a cold glass of icetea...turn off that garbage that passes
for television today and spent 45 minutes in a trip down ye' old rabbit
hole with FK's Curiouser and Curiouser.
Discussion Begins Next Tuesday.

Very true. And there's a cadre of wikia.com staff to help with
questions about things we don't know how to do
> Who is administering the site?
Me. Right now I'm the only person with admin rights and there are no
janitorial staff rights assigned yet. I started the wiki a while back
with hopes that it would garner some editors from the e-list fanbases,
but it really has only been me for a while and I've just been laying
structure.

I think it would be an excellent place to get done what you
accomplished. I am, however, notably biased.

I don't mind at all. All I need to know is what you'd like me to pick
up at the store while I'm out for supplies. ;-)
