Subject: Enforcers...canon & fanon
So there I was, innocently deciding which unwritten wiki article was going
to be done next. I decided to browse through the list of websites that
didn't yet have their own pages, and checked out "Forever Knight
Enforcements", which now exists only on the Wayback Machine. The result was
this: http://foreverknight.wikia.com/wiki/Forever_Knight%27s_Enforcements.
(Sadly, the website--as archived--is incomplete; in particular, it is
missing all the graphics relating to the Enforcements' role in War Ten.
However, it does have all their story collection.)
After doing the page on the website, of course, I then had to update the
pages we have for the Enforcements faction and the Enforcers themselves.
And then I got thinking.
Enforcers actually only appeared in one episode, "Unreality TV". There were
two of them, both silent goons with long-fanged snarls. We never saw them
or their kind again (though they were mentioned once or twice). As far as
canon goes, there could just be the two of them (!)--and their enforcement
of the "code" could even maybe be their own private mission. In fan
fiction, it's a whole other thing.
Fan authors have done a lot of elaboration on the Enforcers' ancient history
and world-wide organization. Quite a few have worked on Enforcer fic; and
some people have been very influential. The Enforcements faction is only
part of it.
So here I am, wanting to fatten up our wiki article on the Enforcers with
some *more* info on the way(s) they've been interpreted by fans. Who
elaborated their history/organization how? What has become sufficiently
fanon to be used by more than one author? Which fanfic should be mentioned?
I know there are Enforcer fans still out there!

I don't know much -- or am too cold-plagued and groggy to recall -- about
Enforcer off-camera developement. If Ronni Katz -- Ron the Enforcer -- is
still on here, Ron developed a lot of it. Greer, if you don't have the
address, I can put you in touch.
Otherwise, I remember Ger told a con somewhere that originally the Enforcers
could speak and had lines indicating great wisdom. However, two stunt men
had been cast for their looks. This was fine until they spoke, whereupon
they sounded like 20th c. Toronto stuntmen. Hence their silence when not
snarling in the episode as produced.
