OMG!
It's been like FOREVER since I was a part of FK War fun.
The Enforcer would TOTALLY like to do this while he has the time due to RL
unemployment!
I love y'all - not tied to any particular faction these days - just happy
to play with a team that can deal with a Vampire who isn't all emo about
being a Vampire but is well-adjusted (well, as much as any vamp can be ;D
in these times) and likes to hang out with cool folks!
Coming from Texas to Toronto would be awesome now considering it's a hundred
degrees in the shade down here right now (seriously - we are baking our
buns!) and I could so use a vacation!
Hugs to everyone o The List!

The only reason I know how long it's been since the last War is because of
my dear sweet "War Baby." ^_^ He's 5 1/2 already! It's time for another
one!

Subject: Back in the day
I never made it to any of the LCAs. I remember an FK gathering in...
Milwaukee? I think it was... Met Nancy a couple of years now in
Minneapolis when I go to MarsCon every spring, and Jamie and Stephanie
and a couple of other fans at Dragon*Con over the years. Never made it
to Toronto Trek (which was also a place where you could sometimes see
the FK actors and crew). I do remember Laurie Salopek, my successor as
listowner, once gathering a few folks and going to one of the Toronto
events (I think it was one of the Treks) and bringing me back signed
photos of John and Ger, and Nigel had also signed Ger's picture too).
Sadly, I no longer have that photo, but just two years ago, I got
something even better...

It was a day to remember, certainly.
One of these days, I'll get back up to Stratford. There's this lovely
Scottish shop on the main drag I need to raid again too...
Waltzing down memory lane...

Subject: More memories
There used to be private gatherings. I went to one in Dallas - it seems like a
couple of times. What a blast! There was a knock at the door in the wee hours
and a college student from Maryland was standing there. She hadn't really
planned to come but some friends said they'd drive her and they drove straight
through! LOL! I don't even think she stayed long.
I arranged a few "Greggerings" for Greg Kramer. We'd go to Toronto to see him
in whatever play he was doing then have dinner/party with him a bit. Ratsie
droogs all the way!
As for the Wars, I didn't actually join the list until after we knew the show
was cancelled, but was in one of the early Wars when a fan asked if she could
write me into a scene. It was just a cameo.
I'd love to do another War but don't know how much I can participate since
I'd barely have time to write much (but could some) and certainly not time
to read everything...! During one war we'd just gotten e-mail at work and
were being told to "play" with it so we'd be more comfortable (at that time,
some people had never had e-mail). It was a rare slow period for me and
so I even had some of my co-workers coming up with ideas for antics! LOL!
Oh, and the time Greg Kramer actually made a War appearance opposite Screed!
<g> He was going to be off-line during the war so I and my co-horts had to
pre-write it for his approval and just hope we could work the scene into
the War's plot. It worked.

Subject: Re: Old times
Because many of the FK cast remained very accessible to their fans, some
of us have continued year after year, show to show, and venue to venue.
With CHILLER showing the show and introducing some new fans, us old-timers
can share things with the newbies they may not have thought of. Look at
this summer's group at Stratford - Ger, Nigel, and (behind the scenes) Greg.
And many of the actors are still very appreciative of what their fans
have done - LCA, gertherings, etc. I think of FK as the trunk of a tree,
and as far away as we may grow from it, it is and will always connect the
different branches. And this list will continue as long as there are people
who appreciate what we do and where we started. Not a bad lesson to pass on
to newbies.

Subject: [FORKNI-L] Old times
This list not only brought me a lot of dear friends, some of whom I've still
ever met in person, but know better than most of my face-to-face friends.
istowning here and on the old Vampyres@guvm changed me from a shy, retiring
erson (stop rolling on the floor, it's true!) to my present day personality. I
ealize it's debatable whether that was a good thing. <eg>
I've enjoyed the wars, and only dropped out of the last one because I was so
ccupied w. real life. Now that I'm retired, I'd love to do another one, along
he old lines where we didn't have to be in a faction to play and attacks were
andom and didn't require permission. (We'd still have to have written
ermission before hand for anyone who wanted to play, including being attacked.
SU almost got sued over something on fkfic-l at one point, although not over
nything directly connected w. FK.)
After a long gap owing to real life problems, FK brought me back to writing,
hen it looked like we wouldn't have a 2nd season. I wrote "Coming Across" as an
ttempt to land the series.
I have quite a bit of memorabilia, of course, and some hardcopy photos. Greer,
f you'd like to get in touch with me, I'll be happy to talk about sending them
or scanning and inclusion.
CONs -- We had Dead of Winter in Worcester, Mass. one January after the Star
rek Con which Nigel was supposed to attend was cancelled. The mundanes at the
otel were seriously freaked, but we all had lots of fun. Nigel was, I think,
he sole guest and loads of run.
I got to meet Ger twice, once at a con and once at a weekend organized by his
anclub, Nigel several times, Deb twice, and John Kapelos once. We could never
ersuade Catherine Disher to come to a con, not even Ger. As many of you know,
he'd had a very bad experience with fans on another show, and thereafter
efused to meet any face to face.
As for Bridging, I still have the self-portrait of Nick which I bought there and
hich had been on the set as a decoration. Is the woman who was the other
erious bidder still here, or does anyone know how to contact her? If only I had
otten tenure and therefore had money, I'd have come to LCAs too,
Thank you, all of you, for making this fandom so very special!

I just saw Parade's list of the 30 top sexiest vampires;
no Nick (either Geraint's or Rick's), no Lacroix, no
Janette! It's not right; it's not fair!
