What's Good?  For February, I am excited to finally get to recommend leela_cat's novel "Broken Promises" (1996, NC-17)!  My recommendations project's rules require that I get the author's permission before spotlighting a story; I first asked after this one in '00.  "Broken Promises" links Nick and Vachon's pasts to produce fully-integrated present-day action.  Many minor canonical characters turn up along the way, including the rarely-seen Larry Merlin.

     "Damn it, Javier!" Laine began to retort, but stopped when she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Just great. Now she'd never persuade Javier. She glared at the vampire who entered the attic.
     "Vachon..." Nick's voice faltered as he caught sight of Vachon's guest. "Who...?" Doubt, hope, denial. All of them were visible on his face. "I know you. Don't I?"

What's New?  In January, fkfic-l saw three new stories by three authors.  ( list with links )

The fkficfest "Welcome" post is up.  (This is the FK-only ficathon I've been nattering about for ages.)  We're done testing moderator functions and otherwise tinkering, so please come aboard if you're so inclined and have been awaiting the all-clear.  Sign-ups for the game will open on February 18, 2010 (that's the day after Ash Wednesday, for those of us who run on that calendar).

Special thanks to my co-mod, amilyn, and to havocthecat, whose femme_fic work has been our model.

This is the story I contributed to the December 2009 oldschoolfic ficathon.  My thanks to merfilly for her prompt of "Nick and Lacroix, Family Bonding," and to batdina, amilyn, leela_cat and much_madness for beta-reading and discussion.  This prompt nudged me to reacquaint myself with some episodes I rarely watch, and revisit some themes I hadn't touched in years.

	•	Title:	"In a Family Way"
	•	Length:	~7,700 words
	•	Date:	Posted to FKFic-L January 30, 2010
	•	Rating:	PG-13
	•	Summary:	Nick makes friends on a flight to Paris to see Janette, but Lacroix is on the same plane.
	•	Setting:	December 2009
	•	Characters:	Nick, Lacroix, Janette, Others
	•	Quotation:	"Your denial of the natural law does not alter it, Nicholas." / "Your rejection of hope does not defeat it, Lacroix."

From Variety: "Tough times at NATPE" by Cynthia Littleton (01/26/10).  "The annual gathering of TV station buyers and programming execs has been in a transitional mode for more than a decade ... But the plan to move the gathering next year to [Miami] has many longtime attendees feeling that NATPE '10 is the bookend on an era that began in the mid-1980s with the explosion of the firstrun syndie biz."

A little nostalgia, and a wave to the FK fans who went to NATPE '96 to Save Our Show.  Seven of you, right?  Thank you.

What's Good?  I'm happy to get to kick off the new year in the recommendation-of-the-month project with pj1228's 2008 novella "Disclosures" (which I had the privilege of beta-reading).  This episode-like story puts both Natalie and Schanke on a collision course with things Nick never wanted to tell them.  Cop plot plus Nick/Janette, Nick/Natalie, Lacroix/Natalie (PG-13).

     [Natalie] covered her mouth with her hand and was about to stumble backwards into the elevator, when Nick raised his head and fixed her with an amber stare. Janette turned in his arms and regarded her curiously. ... “Nat, wait,” he called her back and she watched in fascination as his fangs retracted and his eyes changed to blue. “What’s wrong?”
     “Lacroix is at my apartment,” she blurted.

What's New?  In December, fkfic-l saw a new ficlet by Kristen F., "Comfort and Joy" (one post, 3KB), and a multi-part story started posting, concluding in January (so to be listed next time).  The list has seen two new stories in January so far.

Recently in FK on my LJ Friends List and DW Reading Page:

help_haiti

Everyone knows about help_haiti by now, right?  The fannish community rewarding donations to Haiti relief with custom fic, beta services, and other things in an auction-like structure?  Bidding continues through January 20.  Thanks to everyone who is participating, and who has offered!  eponymous_rose is cataloging offers by fandom.  It looks like the FK-specific offers at this time are from: Havocthecat, Triciabyrne1978, Amilyn and Devohoneybee.  [Addendum 01/18: rude_not_ginger and aescu are also offering FK, per amilyn.]  (Leela-cat generously made a gesture in FK's direction, but you know she wants HP. ~g~)  amilyn has summarized some offers and information here and here. 

Vidfests, Ficathons and Gifts

• On 01/17, merfilly posted a reminder about the "Gen in January" ficathon, for which FK received one prompt (IB: Nick/Janette).  (It's a 500-words minimum, with prompts available to claim from a list, not assigned.)
  
• On 01/14, festivids went live, and abby82 strongly recommended the vid she received in the exchange.  merfilly agreed, and so did ithildyn.  Count me in the consensus as well.  Set to "Cemeteries of London" by Coldplay, it's still anonymous, it's the only FK entry in the fest, and it is receiving copious praise for something from our sleepy fandom in a multifandom venue!  It's vampire-centric across all three seasons, features many of the neck-o'-the-week characters, and it musters the elusive "you could interpret this either way" that keeps us happily disagreeing to this day.  Knighties and Cousins may well see different feeds of this vid, and isn't that just the way it's supposed to be?
  
• On 01/12, havocthecat pointed out purimgifts/purimgifts, a multi-fandom event reveling in characters who are Jewish and/or women and/or persecuted by evil viziers (FAQ). FK is eligible (every fandom is eligible).
  
• On 01/06, fandom_stocking released.  Four people were tagged as requesting FK stocking stuffers, and they all received at least one tiny FK trinket.
  
• On 12/29, gnosticdiva described the dayofindulgence event, and noted that she's planning an FK entry, perhaps an adult scenario.

Fanfiction

• On 01/10, kirbyfest announced that she is moving all her fanfiction from her longstanding personal website into a new Dreamwidth journal: kirbyfest_fiction.
  
• On 01/07, merfilly revealed that she's the author of the Yuletide story "A Bad Night" and consolidated her two FK ficlets written for fandom_stocking.
  
• On 12/31, gnosticdiva posted "Handcuffs Do Have Their Uses" (N&N, NC-17).
  
• On 12/29, gnosticdiva noted that she's working on a post-AtA fic (and reading the Bennett/Elrod novels).
  
• crack_van FK recommendations continue, courtesy of abby82.  Since my last round-up, she's pointed out "The Maltese Raven" by Erika W., "First Love" by Sarah B., "Trio" by Imajiru, "The Raven Flown" by AC C., the "All the Rest is Silence" trilogy by Dorothy E., "What Makes A Mortal Interesting" by Knightshade, "Goodbyes" by Vanessa St.D., "Assignment: Knight" by susanmgarrett, "Ruminations" by Nancy K., and "Anatomy of a Kiss" by Eve D.

DVDs

• On 12/31, abby82 pointed out that Amazon.com has all three seasons of FK (Region 1) on sale for $14.99.  Anyone not own yet?  Buy!  Convince them there's a market for slim sets and blu-ray and missing bits restored or packed as extras...
  
• On 12/27, pj1228 shared the great news that FK's first season will be released in Germany on 02/19/10, with German and English audio tracks.  Finally!  Cheers to all the German-speaking fans!  (Buy! So they'll release the other seasons, too.)  I can't wait to learn whether it's the full footage from the first German airing of first-season.  Granted, the differences are tiny per episode, mostly just longer establishing shots, but...

Cast and Crew and Airings

• On 01/13, abby82 shared that Mr. Parriot has won himself a new series, USA Network's Covert Affairs.  It stars Kari Matchett (Alyssa).
  
• On 12/31, abby82 filled us in -- at least, those of us who don't get the Chiller channel -- on GWD's "hosting" of Chiller's most recent FK marathon.  Actually, it was eight fun soundbites over amusing montages (seven GWD, 1 NB).  She has them all linked, and also points us to Chiller's YouTube Channel.  And as she points out, wow! that color quality.

Amazon.com (the US site) is currently selling all three seasons of FK on DVD for just $14.99 each.  If anyone in Region 1 does not yet own a copy, buy now!  The list price shows $29.99 for each season, which represents a drop as well, and a standardization; season two (26 episodes) used to cost more than the others (22 eps each).

At the bottom of the Amazon page, I noticed an advertisement for FK on Crackle, which I'd never heard of and knew nothing about, but now see that it's an online library/network owned by Sony (~nods politely at TPTB~) so I'll be adding it to my FK link lists.  Those of you outside the US, please let us know whether you can view it on this site.  The word has been that you've been unable to access FK on Hulu or Yahoo, but maybe Crackle...?

Crackle has a double-handful of FK promo stills up, too -- mostly from the first season press kit.  I've seen many of them a hundred times, but Natalie's was entirely new to me!  abby82, one of them proves how right you are in your observation about the gentleman playing the same young cop in "I Will Repay" (CBS scenes only) and "False Witness."  You're right, and I was mistaken, and -- look! continuity! :-) I love continuity!

Last year, I posted seven total fanfiction stories (~40,200 words).  One was in Highlander, three in Forever Knight, and three in the Buffyverse.  Six were for ficathon prompts, and one was just because.  They're all gen, in the old-fashioned way I usually think about classifications, but in more contemporary terms, I suppose three are gen, three are het, and one is het and femmeslash.

( Table of 2009 Stories ) ( 2009 Fanfiction Reflections ) ( 2010 Fanfiction Resolutions )

A very happy New Year to everyone!  To paraphrase Bill Watterson, I am so glad and grateful to have a big blank new sheet of paper before me -- and all of us.  May everything in the world go better from here on out.

New Fanfiction

• On 12/26, the December 2009 oldschoolfic event released with one FK story, my "In a Family Way," and merfilly, for whose prompt it was written, kindly recommended it.  (The story written for one of my prompts was the HL fanfic "So Far Away" by dragonsinger.)
  
• On 12/25, amilyn (here) and merfilly (here ) both recommended the the Yuletide 2009 FK story "The Visitor."  (There seem to be two FK Yuletide stories this year; the other is "A Bad Night.")
  
• On 12/20, merfilly posted a new "triple drabble" FK Christmas story called "White Christmas."

It's the first day of Hanukah, after the first night, and most of those I know who are celebrating it are offline for Shabbat right now.  Before they rejoin us online (or at least within eight days), do you think we can muster up an FK Hanukah story recommendation to share?  Anyone? 

I'm afraid I know of exactly one, and it's not online: Marian G.'s in the fantastic Forever Net Before Christmas zine.  (If it were online, I wouldn't link to it, because I know she asked for all her fanfic to come down years ago.  But if she ever puts it back up, I'm all over asking permission to recommend her Natalie Lambert, Vampire Coroner series.)  Hers can't be the only one in existence, though.  I must have missed or forgotten some -- and I certainly don't claim to have read every FK story, as it is!  (Thank goodness. I don't want to run out...)

What's Good?  For 2009's last recommendation-of-the-month, I'm pleased and proud to get to spotlight Mary Ch.'s "Black Ice" (2000, PG-13) today.  Pleased, because it's a satisfying, layered, episode-like novella with something for everyone (well, second-season's "everyone," anyway).  Proud, because I've almost re-synchronized my calendar at last! ;-)

For those seeking/avoiding certain strains at this time of year, let me note that "Black Ice" unfolds in the deep midwinter, with the teaser on Christmas Eve, the body over New Year's, and the tag at Epiphany, as I read it.

      He was too late. The daylight had advanced too far. He made a desperate lunge for the door, hoping against hope that he could reach it before the burning forced him to retreat, but in his weakened state the light was too strong and the distance too great. He staggered back to the wall, the skin on his face and hands blistered and smoking.

What's New?  In November, fkfic-l saw one new story by one author: "The Relapse" by pj1228 (5 posts, 89KB).

abby82 rocks, you know?  She has brought FK to crack_van!  For any who don't know, this community is Multifandom Fanfiction Recommendations Grand Central Station.  I've rarely dropped by there myself because, well, FK hadn't been featured.  But batdina emailed me the Saint Nicholas Day treat of news to Go. Look. Now.

abby82 posted an exciting, extensive FK Fandom Overview on 12/03.  It's great fun to read, even if you already know the facts.  And then on 12/06, she launched FK recommendations on the community with my short story "A Little Salsa Picante" (2006).  Wow!  Thank you so much, abby82!  I'm flattered and touched and delighted.  And I'm so much looking forward to your future FK recommendations there!  I cannot overstress how strongly I am in favor of people recommending great FK stories for me to read. ;-)

A month of crack_van recommendations: what a wonderful holiday gift to FKdom.  Thank you!

wiliqueen has kept her eye on medie's gift to fandom, fandom_stocking, and let us know that it's up and running with sign-ups.  This is a hidden-until-reveal gifting fest, with no claiming and no assignments, no minimums or maximums, just prompts and good will.  (So far, three of this year's posted stockings, including Wiliqueen's and Amilyn's, include FK on their mini-wishlists. Eight include HL. None YB, or my other fandoms that make FK look crowded by comparison. ~g~ Not that all my hobby time is not already pledged to oldschoolfic this month! ~g~)

( Wishes and Won'ts )

merfilly has proposed a "Gen in January" ficathon.  It will be prompt-claiming style, rather than assignment driven.  Minimum 500 words, gen only, any fandom, any characters -- including, of course, FK.  (Gen, as recently discussed, is defined as every kind of plot and theme in human experience except romance and sex.)

It's still November where I am, honest!

What's Good?  November's recommendation was "Soaring" (2005) by Kristen F., a canon-careful N&N friendship interlude, and a broad-brush illustration of the storytelling efficacy of the right perspective.

        Natalie blushed, her heart rate increased, and she dropped her eyes before she gave him an evasive, "Oh, just meeting up with a friend."  She started shuffling papers, refusing to meet his eyes.
        Nick frowned...

What's New?  In October, fkfic-l saw three new stories by three different authors:  ( list with links )

Sekrit Message to tv_elf: A year already. Miss you.

Recently in FK on my LJ Friends List and DW Reading Page:

On the Air!

On 11/22, abby82 alerted us to Chiller's exciting US Thanksgiving marathon events, in which Geraint Wyn Davies will host "his favorite episodes" of FK!  These air 11/24-11/25 and again 11/28-11/29!  And what are GWD's favorite episodes?  Season one: 5. Season two: 11. Season three: 0.  [I expected BM, which he directed, but I was surprised to see BMV on his list.  Interesting!]

In the News!

• On 11/24, abby82 shared her Google News alert that the New York Times mentioned the Chiller FK marathon as something all those Twilight and True Blood fans should clue into.
• On 11/06, gnosticdiva transcribed an article titled "Nick Knight, Vampire Cop" from the book Vampires (Fangoria, 1998).

Cast and Crew!

• On 11/23, abby82 pointed out another new interview with GWD, this time on Chiller's blog.  Among other fun things, there's currently a bulletin-board graphic with the text of a Ribena label on it.
• On 11/23, abby82 let us know that Sci-Fi TV Zone has a twelve-minute audio interview with Geraint Wyn Davies, in which he talks about the Chiller marathon, his current one-man play in New York, and other fun, current things.
• On 11/19, pj1228 created a collage in honor of Nigel Bennett's birthday, and is running a contest for us: win the original collage file by naming all the non-FK roles shown.

Fanfiction!

• On 11/25, pj1228 announced that she has cleaned up "PJ's Forever Knight FanFiction Archive" after the move to Google Sites.  If you've re-linked since the move from GooglePages, the URL is still the same.  If, like me, you're still catching up...  [Note to self: Update links!]
• On 11/15, Leela-cat announced that she has begun posting her long-unavailable-online old FK stories on her Archive Of Our Own account.  [She's right; she made me very happy. :-)] [Update: She has finished posting all her FK work, except one unfinished novel, and including "Broken Promises" -- last seen online in 1996.]
• On 11/12, pj1228 posted her well-conceived UF story "The Relapse," which I had the privilege of beta-reading.  Even if you're not inclined to the UF, she has a new approach to a specific canonical moment.
• On 11/06, gnosticdiva posted a piece called "The Letter," Nick to Natalie.
• On 11/05, elycia offered: "For every $5 you contribute to Fiver's Team (ALS Association of Georgia), I will write you 500 words of fiction, with the characters of your choice, on the topic of your choice," including in FK.
• On 11/03, ithildyn reposted her 1998 Lacroix story "In His Image."

Fests and Ficathons!

• On 11/07, abby82 noted that it was the last day of nominations for festivids, a vid exchange inspired by Yuletide for small and rarely vidded fandoms.  FK is nominated.
• On 11/03, oldschoolfic opened sign-ups for the December event.  Assignments went out on 11/17.  [I got an FK prompt!]
• On 11/02, gen_ficathon posted their round one master list, including two FK stories previously mentioned here when they released.

Miscellaneous

• On 11/08, pj1228 discussed her FK site's issues with the GoogleSites move, and her FK projects in progress.
• On 11/07, abby82 detailed lowered prices for the FK DVDs at many retailers.
• On 11/03, gnosticdiva mused on her NaNoWriMo project, based on a long-ago unfinished FK fanfic.

My apologies to anyone I confused with my previous post!  I do plan a "Ficathons 101" for fkficfest; please consider this an installment on that future orientation.

What is a ficathon?  A ficathon (or fest) is a game in which people write stories, usually with some common element (e.g. fandom).  ( common types )

What is a prompt?  A prompt is a seed for a story.  It is the request that the writer fulfills.  Four examples:  ( 2 by Me, 2 by You )

The rules of play for fkficfest will be very similar to those used successfully in the femme_fic and oldschoolfic fanfiction story exchange events.  However, there's one big difference.  Those are multifandom; this will be FK-only.  Similarly, we can't quite parallel the rules for the single-fandom Harry Potter games that leela_cat plays, because those are single-genre -- even single character -- and we'll be playing across all factions.

For fkficfest, players will submit three FK prompts.  We need to differentiate them somehow to provide some diversity of choices to the writer and aid in matching.  My co-mod and I talked about the possibilities for that, the different available categories, and we settled on: gen, ship, other.  This should, we hope, help us get compatible prompts into everyone's hands.

But do you see the challenge?  Definitions!  What should be the definition of "gen"?  Is "ship" the best collective term for that which is not "gen"?  How about "romance"?  (I have trouble accepting that we need to say "het or slash or femmeslash" every time we mean "that which is not gen.")  We need, if we can get them, definitions that help spread contentment, not contentiousness.  ( Read more... )

So I've signed up for oldschoolfic's December exchange (rules/sign-ups; sign-up deadline is November 15; minimum 500 words).  As usual, I asked for Forever Knight, Highlander or Young Blades.  I offered those plus Rurouni Kenshin, Monarch of the Glen and Original Battlestar Galactica.  I didn't offer any Buffyverse, Trek or other things this time; I hope my very short list doesn't make it difficult for the mod... but I would have restricted it to just FK, HL and YB, if that hadn't seemed very much too greedy.

I hope that all of you who are playing Yuletide are receiving inspiring prompts this weekend, and that those of you running with NaNoWriMo are surpassing all your goals!  Good luck and great fun, all around.

To those with FK fansites and fanfic archives: please consider posting your new URL to your blog as well as to forkni-l whenever you relocate.  I want to know, and I bet many others do, too.  Please help us follow you around the Web!

Seriously and sincerely.  Thank you!

Yuletide sign-ups are open (this is the annual ficathon exchange for obscure fandoms).  At this time, six people have requested FK stories, and twelve people have offered to write FK stories.  Sign-ups must be submitted by 11/12; stories are due on 12/21.  This is the biggest fanfiction game of which I know, and this is its seventh year.  I know some of you are playing it; please include FK, yeah?

I will not be playing Yuletide myself, but I will be playing oldschoolfic (for canceled fandoms).  Sign-ups are due by 11/15; stories are due on 12/25.  I need to work out what stories to request and which fandoms to offer (as I can't under the rules say "FK or HL only" ~g~).

Separately, gen_ficathon is taking a poll about holding a second round.  In my opinion, when considering future participation, it is relevant to note that the first round of this exchange ficathon had some challenges, including four writers who never received stories, and three months to release the stories that were submitted.  I would personally like to see a plan to address these issues before committing to another round.

Happy birthday, tv_elf.  I miss you.

Tuesday morning, oldschoolfic (the ficathon for canceled series) announced a December story-exchange event.  FK is eligible!  (So is HL.)  Sign-ups are open here now through Sunday, November 15.  Stories are due no later than Friday, December 25.

(On that schedule, I likely shouldn't play.  I don't get many hours outside work; something due after the two three-day weekends at the end of the year would be much better for me -- know of any?  But I admit I'm thinking about it.)

Addendum 11/05:  Yeah, yeah... I'm definitely going to play in the oldschoolfic event.  It's only a question of which prompts to submit and in which fandoms to volunteer.

Recently on my LJ Friends List:

Memes and Miscellaneous

• On 10/19, endaewen's copy of the second-season DVD set arrived. :-)
• On 10/18, gnosticdiva vented a pet peeve in fanficrants, about fanfiction spelling of FK characters' names in general, and in Janette's dialogue in particular.
• On 10/12, cousinmary played the episode title meme with FK.

Ficathons

• On 10/24, abby82 clued us in about oxoniensis's second "Fall Fandom Free-For-All."  There is one FK request so far, for Nick/Janette (that's "Immortal Beloved" or "IB," for anyone who doesn't know).
• On 10/23, havocthecat very kindly promoted the fkficfest (about which you will hear more; oh yes...).
• On 10/16, oldschoolfic opened a poll to gage interest in a "December Carnival" all-holiday exchange ficathon.  (This is the periodic ficathon celebrating out-of-production fandoms like FK.)

Fanfiction

• On 10/31, ithildyn counted her Divia-flashback story "Shattered" as a Halloween story for its overall creepiness.
• On 10/25, abby82 posted a character study in the form of a five-scene story titled "five facets of a metro homicide detective," starring Tracy and Nick, which I was privilaged to beta-read.
• On 10/23, gnosticdiva posted a short piece titled "That Time of the Month," starring Natalie and Nick.
• On 09/10, merfilly posted a near-drabble titled "An Earthquake," starring Lacroix.  (I missed this one back when it was first posted.)

Should I say?

• On 10/30, under lock, someone reminisced about the long-gone days of long journeys to celebrate FK with each other.
• On 10/22, under lock, someone used FK as a theoretical example to illustrate optimal fanfiction recommendations.
• On 10/16, under lock, someone posted at length about potential FK stories she has in mind to write.

What's Good?  The poetically constrained "Lest We Forget" (just 273 words) by endaewen is October's recommendation-of-the-month.  At a Remembrance Day (Veterans' Day, Armistice Day) observation, Nick's memories pull him through time.

      A poppy. Red and black. This one pinned on Natalie's shoulder. In his mind, the one became many. Fields of the flower, growing where death had lain heavy. After both wars, he had seen them silvered by the moonlight, like drops of blood.

What's New?  In September, fkfic-l saw one story, "Reconstruction" by Walt D. (1 post, 42 KB).  However, in October so far, we've seen three stories by three authors on list.
