I know the Tattooed Desert Dude is Oded Fehr from The Mummy. He was the "re
-cast" Miklos in the Raven's Cellar. Tracy/Miklos fanfic. I guess you could
stretch that to the Cousins since Miklos works for LaCroix? :)

Well, if neither McLisa nor Cousin Tok has ever heard of the Not-So Vestal
Virgins, Swabbies, Swiss-Cheesers, et. al., then I guess I can leave them
off my icon list. They won't be needing wiki pages, either!

Oh, gee. The "Not-So Vestal Virgins" is such a cool
name that maybe we ought to put one together. Who would
be in it? Whow would be its principle characters? Anyway,
I think it would be a lot more fun that the plain, old "Vestal Virgins".

The Not So Vestal Virgins are a part of Nunkies Anonymous. It's not a formal
faction, but rather a sort of sub-faction, just part of the whole NA experience
presided over by High Priestess Texas Jules.

Screed would be a principle character, of course. *innocent ratsie blink*

Well, icons are only part of it. (Though a big part, nowadays.) There's
also the question of the wiki, and the article about them.
This is what I know about the Convent of the Decadent Sin Sisters. They
seem to basically have been a writers' group--one of several FK writers
groups, each of which had its own particular nature, at least some of which
get referred to as "factions" in the longer lists. The Decadent Sin Sisters
wrote "adult" fiction. According to their main website, the Convent was
founded in May/June 1997 on IRC as a joke, on the #N&NPackers EFnet IRC
channel. It later expanded to include members of other factions, with some
20 members. The site says, "The Convent has been established to carry on
the romantic feel of the series that was left behind in favor of action
during most of the third season."
Their main website still exists at http://dssconvent.tripod.com/, where you
can find a page on their history and a list of members. If they'd only been
a smut-writing group, sharing stories around a sympathetic audience, that
would have been one thing. However, their members list indicates that they
generally wrote under pseudonyms--not the usual sort (which were also
listed), but giving themselves "convent titles" such as Sister Amoursia,
Sister Sensualia, and Sister Aprhodasia. Lots of fun, I'm sure, when you
look at it from *their* POV. The whole tone of the website indicates that
they tried to take things...um...as unseriously as possible.
They used to have a story archive at
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/3265/, which disappeared years
ago. The index page is on the Wayback Machine, but none of the stories is
listed by name, nor archived.
I guess, to get more info, one would need to hear from someone who belonged
to the group.

I remember *hearing* of the "Not-So Vestal Virgins," but I know
nothing more about the group.
