What's New?  Site History by Amy

2012

  • March 2012
    • 03-21For March, the recommendations project spotlights Diane E.'s fascinating concept, "The Last Vampire." Thank you, Diane, always.
  • February 2012
    • 02-13This month, the recommendations project features Susan's wrenching post-series story, "Lost and Found." Thank you, Susan, always.
  • January 2012
    • 01-16I listed the three new FK fanfiction short stories that I wrote for the "Fandom Stocking" game: "Scrubbed Clean" (Janette, Nick and Lacroix), "A Hunt by Any Other Name" (Janette and Natalie) and "Thirty-One, Level 1" (Natalie). I also removed the links from all fiction and poetry comment counts.
    • 01-14Launching a fresh new year in the recommendations project, let's celebrate LastScorpion's Grace Balthazar story, "Full of Grace." Thank you, LastScorpion!

2011

  • December 2011
    • 12-12For December, the recommendations project turns to Deb's Christmastime policework story, "Darkness Shall Have No Dominion." Thank you, Deb!
  • November 2011
    • 11-28In a lighter vein this month, the recommendations project spotlights Havocthecat's amusing vignette, "Could They Choose Between." Thank you, Havoc!
    • 11-17I've reformatted the recommendations project! At last: all CSS, no frames, just like the rest of the site. I hope that it will be more appealing and easier to use. Let me know what you think?
  • October 2011
    • 10-29As Halloween approaches, the recommendations project features Gryphonrhi's chilling Lacroix story, "Drowning." Thank you, Gryphonrhi!
    • 10-10I posted a new YB story, "Salt Its Tail," with my other-fandoms fanfiction. (This is my first YB story.)
  • September 2011
    • 09-29Let's make it two "Susan's Birthday Month" stories in a row in the recommendations project, with Ann's unforgettable meta-style "Knighty-Knight, Nick" (1996). Thank you, Ann!
  • August 2011
    • 08-31Thinking of the grand old fkfic-l tradition of August as "Susan's Birthday Month" — in which much fiction is written in Susan's honor — the recommendation-of-the-month project features "Strays," Amilyn's 1997 contribution to that custom. Thank you, Amilyn!
    • 08-14I posted some new FK fanfiction: my 2011 FKFicFest contributions "Party Favors 2011" (assorted drabbles) and "Malicious Mischief" (starring Schanke and Janette). I also posted a new HL story, "When Everything was New," with my other-fandoms fanfiction.
  • July 2011
    • 07-31For July, inspired by nostalgia during FKFicFest 2011, the recommendation-of-the-month project features Susan's funny meta-tale "Brown Paper Packages." Thank you, Susan — always.
  • June 2011
    • 06-30 June's recommendation-of-the-month is Kiki's sharp confrontation, "Happy Anniversary."  Thank you, Kiki!
    • 06-25 I've pulled my references and essays index pages, plus this "What's New?" page and the links, into the remodel. One step at a time...
    • 06-23 I've remodeled my fanpoetry and fanfiction index pages for the twenty-first century, finally retiring the ancient HTML styling and moving into modern CSS.  Take a look, and let me know what you think!  (I'm working on converting the entire site.  It will take a while...)
  • May 2011
    • 05-30 May's recommendation-of-the-month is Leela's angst/cheer vignette, "A Strange Comfort."  Thank you, Leela!
    • 05-19 I posted a new FK fan poem, "Solace," with Natalie, Nick and Schanke.
    • 05-02 I posted a new FK fanfiction, "Cuts Deep," set immediately after "Dark Knight, The Second Chapter."
  • April 2011
    • 04-18 For April, the recommendation-of-the-month project features Valerie's historical "July 22, 1916."  Thank you, Valerie!
    • 04-01 I posted a new FK fanfiction, a vignette called "The Book Club Auxiliary," starring Grace.
  • March 2011
    • 03-30 March's recommendation-of-the-month features Susan G.'s "Where There's No Smoking," starring Miklos.  Thank you, Susan — always.
    • 03-21 I posted a new FK fanfiction, a vignette called "Metamorphosis," starring Nick and Natalie.
    • 03-13 I posted a new FK fanfiction, a vignette called "Method in Her Madness," starring Natalie and Nick.

    • 02-26 For February, the recommendation-of-the-month project features LastScorpion's Discovery-challenge story "Beyond the Grave."  Thank you, LastScorpion!

2010

  • December 2010
  • November 2010
    • 11-27 I posted a new FK fanfiction, a light little story called "Heart's Ease."  Nick, Tracy, Lacroix and Natalie appear; Schanke and Janette are mentioned in passing.
    • 11-12 November's recommendation-of-the-month is Dorothy E.'s Schanke story "Trust."  Thank you, Dorothy!
  • October 2010
  • September 2010
    • 09-24 September's recommendation-of-the-month is Nancy K.'s adventure "Deadly Stakes," from the "Different Views" project.  Thank you, Nancy!
    • 09-06 I redesigned the lists of my fanfiction and fanpoetry.  What do you think?  Are they now easier to use?
  • August 2010
    • 08-26 For August, I recommend Ophelia's famous N&Ner tale, "Physical Therapy" (NC-17).  Thank you, Ophelia!
    • 08-25 Effective with Susan's death, the Recommendations Project rule requiring authorial permission for each recommendation is revised to include an exception for authors known to be deceased.  This appears at the end of each year's recommendations page.
    • 08-15 We've lost the incomparable Susan Garrett, "Empress of FK Fic," to cancer.  There are two memorial posts on my blog (announcement and recommendations), and many more elsewhere.  We always appreciated and admired you, Susan, and we will miss you.
  • July 2010
    • 07-30 In a new, never-to-be-surpassed record for lateness, July's recommendation-of-the-month is Jill K.'s post-LK Natalie vignette "Begin Again."  Thank you, Jill!
    • 07-29 Five of the fanfiction author entries on the links list have been redirected to their new archive locations, as well as the links for their past appearances in the recommendations project.  (Please always feel free to report broken links, especially if you know to where I should redirect them!  Thanks.)
    • 07-05 I reorganized the tags on my blog (Livejournal and Dreamwidth).  Hopefully, this will make it easier for readers to find just what they're looking for.
  • June 2010
    • 06-11 I've added my FKFicFest fanfiction ("True to Life" and "Party Favors") to my fanfiction index.  I wrote them in May 2010.  (While we're talking about fanfiction, do you know about my fanfiction outside FK?  Should I list those updates here?)
    • 06-09 June's recommendation-of-the-month is James K.W.'s "In the Beginning, James Created..." (rated R).  It was the first fanfiction AU that I ever read.  Thank you, James!
  • May 2010
    • 05-18 Stories are now releasing in the FKFicFest game on Livejournal!  Come read!
    • 05-07 For May, I recommend Susan G.'s "Walk on By," an extended tag to "Be My Valentine."  Thank you, Susan!
  • April 2010
  • March 2010
  • February 2010
    • 02-18 Sign-ups are open at FKFicFest!  Now through 03/18!  This is the FK-only "ficathon" game that I'm co-hosting with Amilyn.  Please consider playing with us.
    • 02-07 This month, I'm delighted to get to recommend Elisabeth H.'s third-season novel "Broken Promises."  I've been asking her if I might feature it since I first began the recommendations project in '99!  Thank you, Elisabeth.
  • January 2010
    • 01-30 I've added my story "In a Family Way" to my fanfiction index.  I wrote it in December 2009.
    • 01-18 To get 2010 off to a great start, the first recommendation-of-the-month is PJ's second-season "Disclosures."  Thank you, PJ!  I've also added some quotations to the concordance and finally begun digging in on a proper links list update.

2009

  • December 2009
    • 12-08 I'm pleased and proud to get to feature Mary Ch.'s episode-like novella "Black Ice" as 2009's final recommendation-of-the-month.  Thank you, Mary!
    • 12-07 I corrected a few links to fanfiction authors' pages on my Links list after the great Geocities goodbye, but the featured links there so desperately need a strip and wax that I hesitate to claim any update.  I don't even have Chiller covered as FK's new on-air home yet!
  • November 2009
    • 11-30 It's still November, honest.  And for November, I recommend Kristen F.'s "Soaring," starring Nick and Natalie.  Thank you, Kristen!  (Memorial aside: Today is a year to the day since we lost Abby Albrecht, FK fan and dear friend.)
  • October 2009
    • 10-28 Just under the wire!  October's recommendation is Endaewen's "Lest We Forget," for Remembrance Day (Veterans' Day, Armistice Day).  Thank you, Endaewen!
  • September 2009
    • 09-23 For September, I'm pleased to recommend Mary Co.'s sentimental "Last Things."  Thank you, Mary!
    • 09-07 Well, I updated my "Other Fanfiction" page...
  • August 2009
    • 08-25 And a new record is set for late recommending.  Ack!  Sorry!  April's "Nocturnal Pleasure," a Vachon character sketch, is August's recommendation.  Thank you, April!
  • July 2009
    • 07-18 Late, again.  Sorry!  Work is a bear.  For July, the recommendation-of-the-month project spotlights Valerie's "Silent All These Years," written during the first airing of the first season.  Thank you, Valerie!
  • June 2009
    • 06-20 Late, yes, but never forgotten!  Lizbetann's "Night in Hell," a response to "The Human Factor," is June's recommendation.  Thank you, Lizbetann!
  • May 2009
    • 05-24 I've added "When Donut Met Button" permanently to my fiction index, and temporarily linked my other fandoms list to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Story I wrote for the 2009 "We Love Female Characters" event (I didn't receive an FK prompt).  By the way, my "BrightKnightie" LiveJournal blog is now mirrored on DreamWidth.
    • 05-13 For May, I'm delighted to get to recommend Roxy's "Perchance to Dream: Ghost Song," set in the "Curiouser & Curiouser" alternate reality.  Thank you, Roxy!
  • April 2009
  • March 2009
    • 03-15 I've put up a page for my fanfiction in other fandoms, and linked to it from my FK fiction index.  (That's a thing about multi-fandom ficathon games — I keep getting non-FK prompts.  I'll do my best.  Still, it would be great if more FK fans played!)
    • 03-01 For March, the recommendations project spotlights Scottie's classic Immortal Beloved Christmas story, "Flowers in the Night."  Thank you, Scottie!
  • February 2009
    • 02-28 I've added "Three Fireweed Seeds," my entry in the Fleur Mini-Ficathon event, to my fiction index.  (These have not yet gone to fkfic-l, so this would be an excellent time to point out improvements still needed.)
    • 02-08 This month, the recommendations project features Elisabeth H.'s post-"Last Knight" FK/HL crossover, "The Night Was Dark, and She Was the Owner."  Thank you, Elisabeth!
  • January 2009
    • 01-05 The "Old-school Fic" Holiday ficathon has been released.  I wrote a Highlander story for it : "So This is Home."  (I didn't receive a Forever Knight prompt.)  Should I dig up and archive my non-FK stuff?  Would anyone care to read it?
    • 01-04 Here's wishing us all a happier, healthier new year!  The first recommendation-of-the-month for 2009 is Amy H.'s gripping novella "Slippery," set after "Night in Question."  Thank you, Amy!  Also, I went back and clarified the story lengths on early years of the recommendations project; from 1999 through 2007, it's TXT file size in kilobytes (yes, we really did measure that way), and from 2008 forward, it's word count.

2008

  • December 2008
    • 12-21 I apologize for the unprecedented lateness of the recommendations project this month.  But I am pleased now to get to spotlight Jill K.'s gentle Christmas story, "The Heart of the Holidays."  Thank you, Jill!
    • 12-01 Dear friend and Forever Knight fan Abby Albrecht died yesterday.  There's a short FK-themed memorial post on my blog, and a growing string of tributes by various people on the Horsechicks' memorial post.  We miss you, Abby.  You mean so much to us.
  • November 2008
    • 11-16 My new Tracy vignette, "Milepost," is now available on my fiction index.  I wrote it for the Gal Pal Ficathon on Livejournal.
    • 11-09 This November, the recommendations project features Christina K.'s dynamic novel, "Protect and Serve."  (Set in early third season, it was written before the dire events of late third season first aired.)  Thank you, Christina!
    • 11-02 My new Nick story, "Fearful Symmetry," is now available on my fiction index.  (Any preference on what should I write next?)
  • October 2008
    • 10-25 The Forsaken Fandom Awards announced their Round 2 winners this week, and the voters and judges there very generously recognized four of my recent stories!  "Starwort" (winner, long story), "Steamer Trunk Space" (winner, past; runner-up, missing scene), "A Delicate Balance" (winner, characterization), and "Last Minutes" (winner, original plot).  Thank you so much!  If you're looking for good FK fanfiction from the past five years, please be sure to check out all the nominees.
    • 10-06 Looking for a frightening Halloween read?  October's featured story in the recommendations project is Nancy K.'s horrifically insightful "Anno Mirabilis, Anno Horribilis."  (It is disturbing.  You've been warned.)  Thank you, Nancy!
  • September 2008
    • 09-30 Just before the deadline, I slid in my entry in the second Oldschoolfic Ficathon on Livejournal.  The rules ask that I don't re-post it elsewhere before October 7.  (And it might take a little longer than that.  I think it needs another revision before coming home to fkfic-l and this site.  Thoughtful suggestions for improvement are welcome!)
    • 09-02 For September, the recommendations project dashes across the calendar to spotlight "Spring Break, Slayer Style," a novella-sized BtVS/FK crossover by Valerie M. K.  Thank you, Valerie!
  • August 2008
    • 08-09 I changed the the fiction index and poetry index to include the frontispiece illustrations.  What do you think?  Also, my story "Starwort" has been nominated at the "Forsaken Fandom Awards" on LiveJournal.  I'm not familiar with the project, but I'm grateful for the kind recognition, and enthusiastically applaud their goal of encouraging more FK fanfiction!  Let's get some more FK stories nominated by their deadline this Friday, okay?
    • 08-04 This month, I'm delighted to get to recommend PJ's historical fiction "Encounter with Destiny."  Thank you, PJ!
  • July 2008
    • 07-27 My new Natalie story, "A Delicate Balance," is now available on my fiction index.  (What should I write next?)
    • 07-19 I've updated the fiction index to list "A Delicate Balance," my entry in the Oldschoolfic Ficathon on Livejournal.  (The queue released on Monday.)  I'm hoping to hear back about my last set of edits; after that, I'll make any needed changes and put the story up here on my site, and of course send it to fkfic-l.
    • 07-04 Happy Independence Day, USA!  How about a little Christmas in July?  This month, the recommendations project features Susan G.'s "Traditions," set in December of second season.  Thank you, Susan!  In other news, I've been working on a Natalie story, and it's almost ready.
  • June 2008
    • 06-01 June's featured story in the recommendations project is Ell H.'s compact, pointed "Keeping it Together."  Thank you, Ell!
  • May 2008
    • 05-18 "Clearing the Air," that drabble I mentioned, is now up on the fiction index.
    • 05-05 This month, the recommendations project is proud to present Amanda B.'s "Legacy."  Thank you, Amanda!
    • 05-03 I posted a Tracy and Natalie drabble (100-word story) in a LiveJournal event.  I'll probably bring it home to the list in one manner or another, but I don't yet know how (it seems almost too tiny to ask the list's attention).
  • April 2008
    • 04-27 Valerie traded a commentary on her N&N stories "Color of the Night" (pure story / commented-upon) and "To Drive the Cold Winter Away" (pure story / commented-upon) for a commentary on my Schanke story "A Little Salsa Picante" (pure story / commented-upon).
    • 04-23 My new story "Starwort" is now up on the fiction index.  Like "Fireweed" a decade ago, it features Fleur and is titled with an obscure, symbolic flower name (yep, yet another endnote).
    • 04-06 The queue at the Femme-Fic "We Love Female Characters" ficathon released on Friday night, and my new story "Starwort" is one of the entries.  (My first ficathon!  My longest story in years, too!)  I am awaiting feedback from one more beta reader; once I hear from her, I will make any needed changes and put the story up here on my site, and of course send it to fkfic-l.
    • 04-02 Looking for a laugh?  The April Fools recommendation-of-the-month is Lisa McD.'s "To Each Hiss Own," a response to the "Put down the snake and we'll talk" challenge.  Thank you, Lisa!
  • March 2008
    • 03-23 My tiny, new, Good Friday ficlet "Pro Terra Sancta" is now up on the fiction index.  It's from Nick's perspective, with Schanke and Natalie.  (No, this isn't the ficathon story previously mentioned.  But that one is out for beta.)
    • 03-02 For March, I'm pleased to get to recommend Dorothy E.'s novel "Evidence," with a striking subplot I think of as Reese's equivalent to Shanke's "Close Call."  Thank you, Dorothy!  In other news, I'm writing an FK story for a multi-fandom ficathon.  I can't say anything about the content publicly, lest my ficathon match have her surprise ruined, but you can expect to see it on fkfic-l in early April.
  • February 2008
    • 02-10 February's recommendation-of-the-month is Abby A.'s inventive, amusing "Things Unsaid," which she generously gifted me in 2007.  Thank you, Abby!  My apologies for the late recommendation this month.
    • 02-07 My new little vignette "Steamer Trunk Space" is now up on the fiction index.  It's from Janette's perspective, nestled between the flashbacks of "Father's Day."
    • 02-03 I've added most of my 2007 forkni-l posts to my BrightKnightie blog on LiveJournal as backdated entries; use the "tag" filter to sort by topic.  If this turns out to be a good idea, I'll work my way back in time; let me know?  And I'm this close to posting a new story!  Maybe next week.
  • January 2008
    • 01-01 Happy new year!  To kick off the 2008 round of the recommendation-of-the-month project, we have April F.'s "Carpe Noctem," which may be indexed under flying, friendship, movie-night, first-season and N&N.  Thank you, April!

2007

  • December 2007
    • 12-31 PJ now has her own FK site!  The appropriate links have been updated in the recommendations and on my LiveJournal.
    • 12-19 I updated the Links page, on which the proverbial lichen had grown since the last revision, by inserting the list of a few selected fanfiction authors which I'd made for my new  LiveJournal.  I imagine I'll add to it, naturally.  (Trivia: Can you name both episodes in which a character says "like lichen to a stone"? <g>)
    • 12-01 The final recommendation-of-the-month for 2007 is Elisabeth H.'s "Charade, AKA Lacroix at the Raven," which strives to explain what the heck was up at the beginning of third season.  Thank you, Elisabeth!
  • November 2007
    • 11-25 The links to April F.'s recommended fanfiction have been updated.  If you tried to reach her stories and couldn't, please try again!  (She's rearranging her site.)
    • 11-22 Happy Thanksgiving!  This site now has its own LiveJournal.  Right now, I envision that LJ as an annex of this site, but I'm sure we'll see developments.  It does not yet offer anything this site doesn't, except a longer and perhaps more conveniently organized library of essential links, but of course it is a much easier venue for interaction (you can leave comments there, no need for email).
    • 11-01 November's fanfiction recommendation is Perri S.'s "Three Spirits," an adaptation of Dickens's A Christmas Carol with Nick as Scrooge.  Thank you, Perri!
  • October 2007
    • 10-27 My new short story "Last Minutes" is now up on the fiction index.  It's on the bleaker side of my work, but I'm happy to think that the premise is a bit of a twist.
    • 10-01 For October, the recommendation-of-the-month project spotlights Valerie M.K.'s "Further to Fall," which was written during first season, and may have been the very first fanfiction to make Natalie a vampire.  Thank you, Valerie!
  • September 2007
    • 09-20 James K.W. has a new email address for fannish stuff; I've redirected all the "mailto" links on recommendations of James's work.  (Please remember to send feedback to fanfiction authors!  If encouraged, they may write more for us to read.)
    • 09-08 The relative quiet greeting my latest fanfiction is a little daunting.  Is it the Doctor Who spoilers?  If so, I sympathize!  And oh! so hoist on my own petard.  :-)  Ah, well.  In any case, there're now a couple more third-season episodes on the "Stuff List" reference!  I really enjoy this "Places and Things of the FK Universe" game.
    • 09-03 The "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" references now cover five more third-season episodes.
    • 09-02 My new parody "Professor When" is now up on the fiction index.  It's not a crossover, but of course it's spoofing Doctor Who along with Forever Knight.
    • 09-01 For September, I'm pleased to get to recommend Susan G.'s wise short-story, "A Fight to the Finish."  Thank you, Susan!
  • August 2007
    • 08-19 By the author's request, all recommendations of Lizbetann's fanfiction now attribute her work to her nickname, not her full name.  (If you're a recommended author and ever want such a change, please just ask!  I'll do my best to be prompt.)
    • 08-05 My latest story, "Better Late," is now up on the fiction index.  It's from Natalie's perspective, and set in a 2012 where life has gone on.  Next story on my plate: humor!  (No, really, I'm going to try to be funny.  Really.)
    • 08-04 The August fanfiction recommendation is LastScorpion's "Render Unto Caesar," her second-season answer to Celli's tax challenge.  Thank you, LastScorpion!
  • July 2007
    • 07-31 Did you know that I update the quotation concordance at the beginning of each month?  I don't mention it here, because usually all I do is file the latest "quotation of the month" from the home page, but it is a regular revision just the same.  (After I finish the "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" references, perhaps I'll get back to the quotations project.)
    • 07-05 Ell H.'s refreshing "Valentine Ghosts" is July's recommendation.  Thank you, Ell!
  • June 2007
    • 06-10 I've added word-counts to my fiction index and poetry index.  I'd always measured by TXT file size, but I've noticed that's now quite passé.
    • 06-09 For June, the recommendations project features Jill K.'s Schanke-mourning vignette "Remember."  Thank you, Jill!
    • 06-07 I'm afraid I've let the recommendations project run late this month.  Sorry!  On the up side, I've finished the flashbacks for a new fanfiction starring Natalie.
  • May 2007
    • 05-01 This month, the recommendation-of-the-month project spotlights Cousin Lucilla's "Memory Challenge" story, "Awakening."  Thank you, Luc!
  • April 2007
    • 04-15 James K.W.'s archive has moved.  The links to all the recommendations of James's work have now been redirected.  (As you know, James was the "J" of "JADFE."  Misplacing James's work would be a great historical and cultural loss to FK fandom!)
    • 04-09 The "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" references now include the rest of second season, and the beginning of third.
    • 04-08 The links list has received its first update in two years.  And for April, the recommendation-of-the-month project features Mary Co.'s domestic romance, "Coming Home."  Thank you, Mary!  (I wish the spring holidays explained this late update, but no; it's just too many long hours at work, the same thing keeping me from writing new fanfic.)
  • March 2007
    • 03-06 March's recommendation-of-the-month comes a little late — my apologies!  I'm happy to get to spotlight Lizbetann's songfic "Fragile."  Thank you, Lizbet!
  • February 2007
    • 02-04 PJ's episode-like fanfiction "The Art of Deception" is February's featured recommendation.  Thank you, PJ!
  • January 2007
    • 01-31 The "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" (places and things) references now cover four more second-season episodes.
    • 01-01 The recommendation-of-the-month project opens 2007 with Megan H.'s alternate-future "When She Loved Me," featuring Vachon and Tracy.  Thank you, Megan!

2006

  • December 2006
    • 12-02 For December, I'm pleased to present "By Any Other Name," Chelseagirl's first take on the wintery episode "The Human Factor," as 2006's last fanfiction recommendation-of-the-month.  Thank you, Chelseagirl!
  • November 2006
    • 11-25 For Abby's birthday, I gave her a short story featuring Schanke and Janette; if you're interested, "Nice to Remember" is now on my fiction index.
    • 11-01 Susan G.'s delightful and hilarious "Seduction of the Diligent," from TB's inspired "Eternal Champion" parallel reality, is November's fanfiction recommendation-of-the-month.  Thank you, Susan!
  • October 2006
    • 10-26 I posted a new short story ("A Little Salsa Picante") to fkfic-l last Monday, and now have it up on my fiction index.  I believe it's the first time I've ever tried Schanke's perspective — and in a "cop shop" plot, to boot!
    • 10-15 The "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" references now include about half of second season.  I've realized I will finally have to give in and switch from original aired order to the order on the DVDs, now that all the DVDs are available.  In the world of fanfiction, I have had a new short story out for beta-reading for a while, and hope to hear back soon.
    • 10-01 As October's  recommendation-of-the-month, Cousin Mary's parody "You Sick, Sick Monkeys! A Letter from Tracy Vetter" should get us off to a smiling start with the third-season DVDs arriving this week.  Thank you, Mary!  (To anyone who did not go the pre-order route, you should be able to find and buy the season-three DVDs in your local shops beginning Tuesday, October 3, 2006.)
  • September 2006
    • 09-23 I posted a new vignette ("Send My Love") to fkfic-l last Tuesday, and now have it up on my fiction index.  It's my first from Natalie's perspective in a while.  Additionally, a few more second-season episodes appear on the "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" references, and I've corrected the grievous typos in the entries for Tracy's parents.
    • 09-14 First season is now complete on the "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" references.  On to second!
    • 09-06 I've added to the "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" references; we're nearly through first season.
    • 09-01 For September, I recommend Kathy W.'s thoughtful third-season novella, "A Question of Conscience."  Thank you, Kathy!
  • August 2006
    • 08-26 I've added four more episodes to the "Character Directory" and "Stuff List" references.  I actually have new stories drafted; it's not that I've been playing this new list game to the exclusion of fanfiction, but the time and attention of beta-readers are scarce treasures, and I don't have the talent to post unedited.
    • 08-20 I've added notes from five episodes to the "Character Directory" and "Stuff List"  (both with the references).
    • 08-13 I've added notes from three episodes to the "Character Directory," and also begun a "Stuff List" of places and things (such as Kitten Club Magazine from "Love You to Death" and the Factory Theater from "Last Act") to go with it.  Both are linked from the references page, with the FAQs.
    • 08-06 Thinking about how much I enjoy seeing many canonical characters together in a fanfiction, I put together the start of a new reference, a "Character Directory" listing all the canonical characters.  Remember the "Center Stage Challenge"?  (This much is from memory; I'll add others as I rewatch episodes.)
    • 08-01 For August, the recommendation-of-the-month project features Nancy K.'s fun FK/XF crossover, "The Lure of the Alternanthera, or Clocknapped!"  Thank you, Nancy!
  • July 2006
    • 07-31 Third-season is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com.  Go, place your order!  I've placed mine for my first season-three DVD set; I'll order my back-up copy sometime after the first arrives.  (The Sony site does not yet have season three on its main FK display, though its search function turns up a separate listing.)
    • 07-29 I posted a new Janette vignette ("By Expectation Beguiled") to fkfic-l yesterday, and listed it on my fiction index today.  This is much faster turn-around than you usually see, because I've been antsy to get this one beta-read and finished for over a month now, so I can move on to the next, which I drafted July 4 (it's awaiting beta-reading).  And what do you think about the change to bulleting these update notes?
    • 07-24 Tidings of joy unto all FK fans — third season will be released at last!  Check out the preliminary news item on TV Shows on DVD.com, anticipating an October 3 arrival.  For the moment, that link is up on the Bright Knight homepage.
    • 07-04 The website now appears in Trubuchet MS or Helvetica, instead of the longstanding Garamond; I hope everyone finds it easier to read.  Additionally, I upgraded several of the FAQ photos.  (The previous illustrations were two computers old; I can do better now!)
    • 07-01 I drafted a new fanfiction last month; it's out for beta-reading.  Soon, perhaps?  This July's fanfiction recommendation-of-the-month is Megan H.'s contemplation of Nick's beast, "Toujours, Jamais."  Thank you, Megan!
  • June 2006
    • 06-11 I reformatted the fiction and poetry index pages.  With larger screens now the norm, I hope you'll find this design simpler and more convenient.
    • 06-09 I posted a new poem, "He Never Blames Her," listed on my poetry index.  It observes Nick, and wonders about Janette.
    • 06-02 This June, I'm delighted to recommend Mary Co.'s memorable reincarnation tale, "Fortune's Wheel."  Thank you, Mary!
  • May 2006
    • 05-21 I posted a new vignette: "How He Loves."  The piece is probably as UF as I'll ever get, given my views on the characters.  See the listing on my fiction index.
    • 05-01 Did you realize that this month is the tenth anniversary of the first airing of "Last Knight"?  My, but time passes!  As we memorialize, the fanfiction recommendation-of-the-month is James K.W.'s ambiguous and final "What He Deserves."  Thank you, James!
  • April 2006
    • 04-23 I finished drafting a new fanfiction of my own today, but posting must wait until a friend is available to beta-read, and that won't be until at least May, unfortunately.
    • 04-03 Slipping a little from my goal of prompt recommendations, I'm nevertheless pleased to recommend Mary Ch.'s rain-soaked, fireplace-warmed "This River" for April.  Thank you, Mary!
  • March 2006
  • February 2006
    • 02-23 By chance, I happened to view my site at a higher browser magnification than usual, and discovered a plethora of otherwise undetectable formatting errors — mostly rampant bold — all over the recommendations project, going back to 2003.  I believe I've corrected them all.  To any who noticed this before, my apologies!  I'm suitably embarrassed, believe me.
    • 02-01 For February, I recommend April F.'s post-Pompeii, song-challenge vignette, "My City of Ruins."  Thank you, April!
  • January 2006
    • 01-02 I've added a new poem ("Mai's Little Boy") and a new story ("An Appointment Unkept"), both posted to fkfic-l last week.  See the listings on my fiction index and poetry index.  I hope this heralds a new year in which I actually write new fanfiction.  Wish me luck!
    • 01-01 The fanfiction recommendation-of-the-month project begins the new year — on-time! — with Eve D.'s tense, sensual, snowbound "Reckless Pantomime."  Thank you, Eve!

2005

  • December 2005
    • 12-29 Knight Vision, with its wide offering of FK graphics, has relocated, and I've updated my link.
    • 12-05 This morning, Dorothy E. kindly gave me permission to recommend her inspiring Christmas fanfiction "Snowfall."  Thank you, Dorothy!
    • 12-01 Today, I emailed an author and requested permission to recommend her story.  I'm running late yet again, clearly, but perhaps not quite so late as recently?
  • November 2005
    • 11-26 I've moved "the small print" off the front page, for what I think is a much tidier site entry.  What do you think?
    • 11-25 I've updated the all the links to Jill K.'s fiction on her new website.
    • 11-16 For November, I'm delighted to recommend Tara O'S.'s Don and Jenny Schanke story "Windows."  Thank you, Tara!
    • 11-12 Today, I wrote an author and requested permission to recommend her story for this month.  Yes, I'm running late again.  But I'm looking forward to catching up in December and striving for a new year of timely recommendations.
  • October 2005
    • 10-20 Two days ago, April F. gave me permission to feature her memorable Halloween story "Eternal Rest" as October's recommendation-of-the-month.  Thank you, April!
    • 10-14 This morning, I asked an author for a story to recommend.  If she generously agrees, I'll post my recommendation of her story as soon as possible.  Sorry about the delay (yet again).  I truly do plan to catch up ... of course, I also plan to write more fanfic ...  Honest.
    • 10-03 The problem, such as it was, is fixed.  (It was just my browser, not the website files.)
    • 10-02 Something is wrong with the frameset for the recommendations project pages.  I will fix it as soon as I figure it out, and I apologize for any inconvenience.
  • September 2005
    • 09-13 September's recommendation-of-the-month is the second of Nancy K.'s "Mortal Annoyances" series: "A Zucchini By Any Other Name Would Taste as Bland."  Thank you, Nancy!
  • August 2005
    • 08-07 For August, I recommend Cousin Mary's cheerful "Dream Vacation."  Thank you, Mary!
  • July 2005
    • 07-19 Disturbingly late — but never, ever forgotten! — the fanfiction recommendation-of-the-month is Lizbetann's skillful short story "Resolution."  Thank you, Lizbet!
  • June 2005
    • 06-01 June's fanfiction recommendation is the simple, sweet "From Solitude..." by Amanda B.  Thank you, Amanda!
  • May 2005
    • 05-04 "Sense and Insensitivity," an energetic little spoof by Havoc The Cat, is May's fanfiction recommendation.  Thank you, Havoc!
  • April 2005
    • 04-03 For April, I recommend LastScorpion's post-LK Janette reflection, "After the End."  Thank you, LastScorpion!
    • March 2005
    • 03-01 Jarvinia's "A Special Offering," a Conversion Day story, is this month's fanfiction recommendation.  Thank you, Jarvinia!
  • February 2005
    • 02-01 This February, the fanfiction recommendation project features Susan G.'s story about Janette and her jewelry, "And Memories, Like Diamonds, Shine."  Thank you, Susan!  Hey, all — have you purchased your second-season Forever Knight on DVD yet?
  • January 2005
    • 01-08 The fanfiction recommendation project begins a new year with Jill K.'s FK/HL crossover, "Honor the Heart."  Thank you, Jill!
    • 01-05 Forever Knight's second-season DVDs are now available!  My set is on its way, Amazon assures me, and copies should now be in off-line stores as well.  Have you used all your holiday gift certificates yet?  Wouldn't second-season FK make a marvelous gift to yourself?  I've redirected the links to Jill Kirby's stories, as recommended in 2004, 2001 and 2000.  Her website has a new address.  I'm afraid the fanfiction recommendation is late this month; I apologize.

2004

  • December 2004
    • I've redirected the links to Bonnie P.'s stories, as recommended in 1999 and 2003.  Her website has a new address.
    • 12-04 Rounding out the calendar, this month's fanfiction recommendation features April F.'s provocative "The Subtle Forms of Control."  Thank you, April!  Readers, just a friendly holiday thought: please remember to email fanfiction authors to let them know you read their work; your simple acknowledgment may be the most inspiring gift they receive this year — and your reward may be new stories by them next year!
  • November 2004
    • 11-01 This month, I recommend the song-challenge fanfiction "Why Should I Cry for You?" by Lizbetann.  Thank you, Lizbet!
  • October 2004
    • 10-30 I've redirected the links to Sandra G.'s stories, as recommended in 2000 and 2002.  She has a new website.  Also, Amazon now offers pre-ordering for second-season Forever Knight (release date January 4, 2005).  The Sony site still pictures and links to first season, but second is truly, finally on its way.  Reportedly, second season contains "extras."  Personally, I care nothing for extras, but a great deal for canon, and for having the whole series in a non-degrading format.  Order your set today!  And while you're there, why not order a spare?
    • 10-10 For October, my fanfiction recommendation is Elisabeth H.'s creepy "Red Dreams."  Thank you, Elisabeth!  And my apologies to all for the delay in the website update this month; this is the latest it's ever been.  I'm afraid I let other things get in the way.
  • September 2004
    • 09-01 The Janette FAQ now notes something I've only just realized: in AFWTD's flashbacks, the movement between English (spoken with the Englishwoman Anna) and French (spoken with all the other characters) indicates that Janette already possessed fluency in both these languages during her mortality.  Intriguing!  For September, the fanfiction recommendation project highlights Dorothy E.'s classic "Somehow..."  Thank you, Dorothy!
  • August 2004
    • 08-21 TVShowsOnDVD.com reports that Columbia TriStar will finally offer us Forever Knight season two, come January 2005!  I modified the "News" blurb on the main page to reflect this news.  Please, if you have not yet purchased season one, do so now — and save your pennies for season two.  Sony will not sell us later seasons if it considers the early sales too poor.
    • 08-02 August's fanfiction recommendation is James K.W.'s "Most Trunk Space in 30 Years."  Thank you, James!
  • July 2004
    • 07-06 This month, the fanfiction recommendation project suggests Eve D.'s AMPH between-the-scenes peek, "To Love That Well."  Thank you, Eve!
  • June 2004
    • 06-02 The concordance now includes more material from "Spin Doctor."  I've also begun new topic categories for archaeology, reporters and truth.  And here at the end of another television season, June's fanfiction recommendation is Nancy K.'s humorous "Checking In, Checking Out."  Thank you, Nancy!
  • May 2004
    • 05-02 This is the sixth anniversary of the fanfiction recommendation project.  This month, it features Maureen W.'s 1996 story "Grace."  Thank you, Maureen!
  • April 2004
    • 04-01 The concordance now includes more lines from "Fatal Mistake."  The Urs FAQ now notes Kristin Lehman's work on the short-lived CBS series Century City.  And for the month of April, I recommend Jill K.'s fanfiction vignette, "Come Down in Time."  Thank you, Jill!
  • March 2004
    • 03-01 I corrected a typo in a "Capitol Offense" quotation in the concordance.  April F.'s "Christmastime in the City" is this month's fanfiction recommendation.  Thank you, April!
  • February 2004
    • 02-01 This month, the fanfiction recommendation project spotlights Catherine B.'s vignette "One Man's Freedom."  Thank you, Catherine!
  • January 2004
    • 01-01 The concordance now includes many more quotations from "Hunters," plus three new categories.  I corrected Officer Norma Ellis's last name in my fiction "In the Light of Day," per the DVD of "Hunters" (I had mistaken it as "Lewis").  And the new year of fanfiction recommendations opens with Susan G.'s "Paternal Order," which stars Captain Reese.  Thank you, Susan!

2003

  • December 2003
    • 12-17 I updated two links among the recommendations, and deleted the works-in-progress section from the fiction index.  If you're interested in an upcoming story, or would like to assist as a test audience, please email me.
    • 12-01 You have considered the DVDs as holiday gifts, haven't you?  For readers curious about other readers' choices, the fiction and poetry indexes now include a count of the total responses each work has received over the years.  I corrected an internal-linking problem in the Tracy and Urs FAQs.  And for December, the recommendation project features Bonnie P.'s Christmas tale "Silver Bells."  Thank you, Bonnie!
  • November 2003
    • 11-01 The DVDs have arrived, and guess what?  They're uncut!  Be sure to buy a set.  My third-season novel "In the Light of Day" now appears with the fiction.  Amanda B.'s "Nevermore" fanfiction "Alone" is November's recommendation-of-the-month.  Thank you, Amanda!
  • October 2003
    • 10-20 I added Kristin Lehman's Andromeda appearance to the "Urs FAQ" and corrected a typo in the "Canon/Crusades Alignment" (both reference works).  Please note that the old "lanminds.com" domain on which this site resided until late 2001, and which has since mirrored its content, has now finally stopped functioning.  Please update any links and bookmarks/favorites still directed to the old domain.
    • 10-01 Remember, this month the DVDs finally premiere!  Have you ordered yours?  The quotation concordance now offers sections on Myra Schanke and hobbies/leisure.  For October, the fanfiction recommendation highlights Jarvinia's "Food for the Soul."  Thank you, Jarvinia!
  • September 2003
    • 09-01 This month's fanfiction recommendation is S.W. Smith's "Fire or Fire."  Thank you, S.W.!
  • August 2003
    • 08-23 I added a new resource to the reference index: a "Canon/Crusades Alignment."  Forever Knight's canon dictates an odd window for Nick's activities as a Crusader.  For a novel, I wanted to know exactly what history fit in that opening.  That research produced this list.  I hope you find it as interesting as I have.  Additionally, I began converting the site from left-aligned Times Roman to justified Garamond.  What do you think of the new look?
    • 08-11 As the news headline on the index page says, Sony has scheduled FK's DVD release for October 21!  Consult their "Upcoming Releases" page.  They list first-season's DVD running time at 1046 minutes, which provides 47.5 minutes per episode.  The question is, is that with no extra features, thus yielding the original Canadian airing or even the famously long German edition?  Or do extras pad out the sliced-up SciFi Channel version or even the notoriously short original US airing?
    • 08-02 My new first-season poem "The Coming Choice" appears on the poetry index.
    • 08-01 The concordance now includes lines from "Sons of Belial."  The recommendation project spotlights Lizbetann's flashback fanfiction "Mad About You" this month.  Thank you, Lizbet!
  • July 2003
    • 07-01 I modified the index page news headline to reflect TVShowsOnDVD.com's report that "Columbia TriStar has confirmed an expected release of [Forever Knight's] first season before Halloween."  Here's hoping!  The concordance now includes "Dead Air."  And for July, I recommend Lisa McD.'s 1993 fanfiction "Coming Across."  Thank you, Lisa!
  • June 2003
    • 06-14 I added an "author's choice" logo to the fiction index listings of my three favorite stories.  I also deleted the twelve chapter TXT files for the novel "Fireweed;" please read the one consolidated HTML file from now on.   06-01.  The concordance includes an additional exchange from "Capital Offense."  June's fanfiction recommendation is Susan G.'s seminal novel False Heart.  Thank you, Susan!
  • May 2003
    • 05-26 The FTP Site — the original fkfic-l archive — has moved to the Web.  I've redirected the relevant links on this site, both on the links list and among the recommendations.  I also removed the item advertising the FK crew jacket auction.  It sold for $1,600.   05-16.  Susan G., author of the second authorized FK novel and a wondrous plethora of fanfiction, is selling her official FK crew jacket on eBay.  Please bid a worthy price!  I have never before advertised sale items on this site, and I don't intend to make a habit of it, but I added a note announcing this auction on this site's index page.
    • 05-05 I added a line to this site's index page honoring Sony's Columbia TriStar division's exciting description of Forever Knight as a property "coming soon to DVD," as revealed on Davis DVD.  Despite the vagueness of "coming soon," and the current absence of this information from Sony's own site, this news is encouraging.  I eagerly await the opportunity to purchase FK from Sony!  I think three copies of the series would be optimal — one to watch, one to lend, and one to save.   05-04.  My new vignette "What It's Like" appears on the fiction index.
    • 05-01 I added "Dead Issue" to the FK concordance (a reference work).  And Megan H.'s vignette "Hell" is May's featured recommendation.  Thank you, Megan!
  • April 2003
    • 04-01 I relocated the recommendation-of-the-month stories archived on this site.  If you have a direct link to one of those eleven stories, please insert "byothers" into the previous URL (for example, http://users.LMI.net/akr/fk/fiction/byothers/story.txt).  Also, the FK concordance (a reference work) expanded with material from "Father Figure."  James K.W.'s second-season story "Just in Memory" is April's featured fanfiction.  Thank you, James!
  • March 2003
    • 03-17 With the editor/publisher's permission, I posted my stories from the 1999 charity fanzine Tojours Lacroix.  Find "Billets Doux" and "Whence the Truce" on the fiction index.  I also deleted the references to the "FK Zine List," having confirmed that all the fanzines in which my work appeared are out of print.
    • 03-08 I checked the essential links list, and corrected one that had broken.  Additionally, the fiction index now recommends Mary Anne Espenshade's "FK Zine List" as a resource for fanzines, as www.fanfic.com has closed.
    • 03-01 March offers the parody "Someplace Weird" by Lisa P. as its fanfiction recommendation.  Thank you, Lisa!
  • February 2003
    • 02-02 The FK concordance (a reference work) now includes more material from "A More Permanent Hell," and a few lines from "Capital Offense."  February's recommendation-of-the-month spotlights Eve D.'s post-"Last Knight" fanfiction "Here to Stay."  Thank you, Eve!
  • January 2003
    • 01-02 The "Janette FAQ" is finally available in HTML!  Additionally, I substantially revised the content for the first time since 1997.   01-01.  The FK concordance (a reference work) now includes "Baby, Baby."  Kathy W.'s "Dark Knight"-based fanfiction "Just Passing Through" is January's featured recommendation.  Thank you, Kathy!

2002

  • December 2002
    • 12-01 A few lines from "Hunters" expand the FK concordance (a reference work).  "Last Call at the Sunset Grill" by Tim P. rounds out 2002's monthly fanfiction recommendations.  Thank you, Tim!
  • November 2002
    • 11-02 I added illustrations to the "What is FK?" essay primer.
    • 11-01 "Pity the Child" by Bonnie R. is November's featured fanfiction recommendation.  Thank you, Bonnie!  I also added Ben Bass's recent appearance on Monk to the Vachon FAQ (find it with the references).
  • October 2002
    • 10-06 "Another Officer Vetter," my piece from Barbara Vetter's perspective, now appears with the fiction.
    • 10-05 I replaced the site's color scheme with a new blue, and recrafted the core graphics to match.  What do you think?
    • 10-01 I retitled the still-in-progress quotation directory as the "Concordance" and added some material from "Avenging Angel" (find it with the references).  October spotlights Perri S.'s "Our Revels Now are Ended" as the fanfiction recommendation-of-the-month.  Thank you, Perri!
  • September 2002
    • 09-02 The Tracy FAQ (with the references) includes new trivia about her Ford Taurus.
    • 09-01 Sandra G.'s "Lust for Blood" is September's fanfiction recommendation.  Thank you, Sandra!
  • August 2002
    • 08-25 My Nick poem "Someone Like Me" now appears on the poetry index, and I've added some miscellaneous material to the quotations.
    • 08-05 The Canadian premium cable channel SPACE begins airing FK again on September 3, and thus earns a slot among the most essential links.  Thank you, SPACE!
    • 08-01 Susan G. allowed me to recommend her "Knight in Hell" for August.  Thank you, Susan!   The fiction index now lists my Natalie vignette, "Puzzles."
  • July 2002
    • 07-01 July features Catherine B.'s "My Soul to Keep" as the month's recommendation.  Thank you, Catherine!  My Natalie and Nick vignette "A Matter of Time" now appears on the fiction index.
  • June 2002
    • 06-17 The recommendation of G.M. Baxter's "The Price of Silence" now includes a "More by this Author" link to her Gormenghast fanfiction.
    • 06-02 Bonnie R.'s "Words and Meanings" is June's recommendation-of-the-month.  Thank you, Bonnie!  The quotations now encompass "Cherry Blossoms."
  • May 2002
    • 05-01 May brings Valerie M.K.'s "Icebreaking" to the recommendation project.  Thank you, Valerie!  I added some "Dead of Night" material to the quotations with the references.
  • April 2002
    • 04-02 I modified the Divia FAQ file type from "html" to "htm" and deleted some links in an attempt to frustrate certain search engines.  (It embarrasses me that that, of all things, tops the Google search on my name.  I have a perfectly nice personal home page, and wish the search engines would point there instead!)
    • 04-01 The references now include my new "Quotations Directory."  Obviously a work in progress, it should expand by at least one episode's worth of quotations each month.  For April, I recommend G.M. Baxter's fanfiction "The Price of Silence."  Thank you, G.M.!
  • March 2002
    • 03-23 I redirected the appropriate fanfiction and awards links to Nancy Kaminski's new site.
    • 03-02 Mary Ch.'s novel "Candle in the Shadows of Time" is March's recommendation.  Thank you, Mary!  The SciFi Channel will begin showing FK again in April; refer to the links for directions to their site and schedule.
  • February 2002
    • 02-16 I added Don F.'s indispensable "List Gardener" page to the links list.
    • 02-01 For February, I recommend Apache's "Distant Thunder."  Thank you, Apache!  The links list now includes "Knight Vision," Kristin H.'s extensive FK graphics and videos archive.
  • January 2002
    • 01-02 The year's first fanfic recommendation is Nancy K's "The Path."  Thank you, Nancy!

2001

  • December 2001
    • 12-26 I converted the main index buttons to the "mural" graphic.  What do you think?  I also moved my poems from the fiction index to the new poetry index.
    • 12-02 Susan G.'s Christmas tale "Coin of the Realm" rounds out 2001's recommendations.  Thank you, Susan!
  • November 2001
    • 11-03 November features Jill K.'s vignette "Unto Dust" as the month's recommendation. Thank you, Jill!
  • October 2001
    • 10-28 I corrected some broken links among the recommendations, and introduced a new format to manage the recommendation indices.  What do you think?
    • 10-27 I added my stories "Not the Mothering Type" (a serious, canonical tale) and "Grievances" (a quick, satiric vignette) to my fiction page.
    • 10-01 For October, I recommend Celeste H-L.'s comedy "The Battle of Hastings."  Thank you, Celeste!  I added a note about the FK fanfiction FTP archive to its entry on the links page; if you have difficulty accessing FTP sites, it may be your firewall.  Please note that this site no longer resides on the "lanminds.com" domain, but at "LMI.net" — if you're still seeing "lanminds.com," please update your link or bookmark/favorite.
  • September 2001
    • 09-01 For September, the recommendation-of-the-month project features M.E. Orive's vignette "Ne-m'oubliez-pas."  Thank you, M.E.!  The timeline now lists the "Queen of Harps" flashbacks solidly at 1225; I had an opportunity to look at a copy of the shooting script.
  • August 2001
    • 08-02 I replaced the Word copies of the Timeline and Episode List on the references page with Acrobat copies.
    • 08-01 August's recommendation-of-the-month is "BloodThirst," a novella by Russet McM.  Thank you, Russet!  I added easily downloadable/printable copies of the Timeline and Episode List to the references page, and also switched to a richer — and hopefully more easily readable — blue color scheme with matching graphics.  As always, I welcome opinions on the change.
  • July 2001
    • 07-21 I redesigned the main index page to fit more easily on more screens.  I welcome any opinions on the layout change.  I also corrected the link to the classic Knighties affiliation homepage — now maintained by Desiree — on the links page.
    • 07-01 "Buried Secrets," a vignette by Kathy "Yello96," is July's featured fanfic.  Thank you, Kathy!
  • June 2001
    • 06-02 This June, I recommend Dorothy E.'s novella "Out of the Silence."  Thank you, Dorothy!
  • May 2001
    • 05-12 I added to my fiction page the 2000 FK Community Fanfic Award kindly voted to my poem "At Issue."  Thank you, all!  Please visit the FK Awards Project from my list of essential FK links.
    • 05-01 Sarah B.'s "The Tapestry" is my May fanfiction recommendation of the month.  Thank you, Sarah!
  • April 2001
    • 04-22 I added the WB's Felicity to the brief list of Kristen Lehman's credits in the Urs FAQ, and also whittled down the "Fanfic Recommendations" button on the index page for improved alignment.
    • 04-01 For April, I recommend Susan G.'s first FK fanfiction piece, "All That's Best of Dark and Bright."  Thank you, Susan!
  • March 2001
    • 03-11 I updated the link to the 2000 FK Fanfiction Awards and corrected two broken links among the 2000 fanfic recommendations and one in the Urs FAQ.  I applied to list this site on the FK fanfiction webring.
    • 03-03 Newly re-edited, James K.W.'s "To the Victor Go" is my March recommendation of the month.  Thank you, James!
  • February 2001
    • 02-21 I repaired the plain-text navigational bars in the fiction and FAQs.
    • 02-20 I added my story "Kindred Spirits" to my fiction page.  The tale features Nick, Urs, Natalie and Lacroix, among others.
    • 02-10 I inserted JavaScript into most of the site's pages to more closely control frames, ensuring that the pages meant to be seen with frames, and those meant to be seen alone, will all appear as intended.  As always, if this causes any accessibility problems, please let me know and I will do my best to repair them.
    • 02-02 I added some plain-text navigational bars to the substantive content pages, and brought the colors of the links in those documents into line with the rest of the site.  02-01.  This month, I recommend "Sadness, in a Minor Key" by Diane H.  Thank you, Diane!
  • January 2001
    • 01-14 I employed frames to make navigating the fanfiction recommendations simpler and more convenient.  All links exiting the recommendations should override the frames, preventing any instances of getting "trapped."
    • 01-07 I made a start on some of the reformatting I have in mind for the site, implementing the new color scheme and some new graphics.  Comments?  Please tell me what you think.
    • 01-01 As we begin the new millennium, I recommend Apache's fanfic "Accidents."  Thank you, Apache!

2000

  • December 2000
    • 12-29 The WYSIWYG program I received as a gift helped me begin the very first stages of a facelift for the entire site, immensely speeding what I've been doing manually — writing code in Notepad — all this time.  More importantly, it rooted out some embarrassing spelling errors.  Oh, dear; how long had those been lurking there?
    • 12-06 Maria W.'s "Valley of Death" is my fanfic recommendation this December.  Thank you, Maria!
  • November 2000
    • 11-23 I adjusted the date assigned "Forward into the Past" on the Timeline, mindful of that episode's multiple temporal inconsistencies.  Nick contradicts himself within two sentences about when he first met the Barringtons.  I removed the color backgrounds from the FAQs for making them awkward to read.
    • 11-18 I noted Lisa Ryder's work on Andromeda in the Tracy FAQ, and enhanced some graphics and formatting throughout the site for greater readability and faster downloading.  I also repaired the Timeline's coding.
    • 11-01 This November, my recommendations page features Sandra G.'s fanfic "To a New Day."  Thank you, Sandra!
  • October 2000
    • 10-01 For October, I recommend Jill K.'s fanfic "More Fiercely Bright."  Thank you, Jill!  I also placed several text sections and lists from this site's index pages in tables with solid navy backgrounds to enhance readability.
  • September 2000
    • 09-04 Cindy I.'s "The Shadow Lengthens" is my September fanfic recommendation.  Thank you, Cindy!
  • August 2000
    • 08-01 August's featured fanfic is Thomas's "Serpent's Tooth."  Thank you, Thomas!
  • July 2000
    • 07-25 I added my Nick poem "At Issue" to my fanfiction page.
    • 07-09 A new analysis of "coming across" in FK appears on my essay page.  I corrected an erroneous assertion in the Screed FAQ; Tracy does employ the word "sewer" on screen in BB2.  I also made small additions to the Tracy and Urs FAQs and lightened the backgrounds of all the FAQs.
    • 07-03 I divided the recommendations page by year to decrease loading time and reformatted the index to better feature the current text.
    • 07-02 Nancy K.'s "Remnants of a Life" is my July fanfic recommendation.  Thank you, Nancy!
  • June 2000
    • 06-06 I posted June's fanfic-of-the-month, Erika W.'s "The Rekindling."  Thank you, Erika!
  • May 2000
    • 05-13 I echoed the new navigational buttons site-wide.
    • 05-01 For May, I recommend Dianne LaM.'s fanfic "My Soul to Take."  Thank you, Dianne!
  • April 2000
    • 04-09 In addition to revising the brief descriptions on my fanfic page, I added my Natalie interlude "Time Out for the Living."
    • 04-02 Leslie G.S.'s "Something the Boy Said" is my April fanfic recommendation of the month.  Thank you, Leslie!  I also added Tracy's license-plate number to her FAQ and introduced the Episode List.
    • 04-01 Hoping for a smoother appearance, I replaced the button graphics on the index page and the horizontal rules throughout the site.  I also updated the FK Community Fanfiction Awards entry on the link list.
  • March 2000
    • 03-01 This month, I recommend Susan G.'s fanfic "Justice, Being Blind."  Thank you, Susan!  Sadly, I had to delete the link to the Vachon Library; its proprietor came to believe no one was reading the stories or contacting the authors archived there, and closed the site.
  • February 2000
    • 02-01 My fanfic recommendation this month spotlights Kathy W.'s "But I Might...."  Thank you, Kathy!
  • January 2000
    • 01-30 I reformatted the index to my novella "Fireweed," aligning it with the appearance of the other fiction pages and adding a full-length HTML option to the by-chapter text listing.
    • 01-01 Elisabeth H.'s "Revenge" is my first fanfic recommendation for the year 2000.  Thank you, Elisabeth!

1999

  • December 1999
    • 12-01 Mary Co.'s "Eve of All Saints" is my December fanfic recommendation of the month.  Thank you, Mary!
  • November 1999
    • 11-19 The Screed and Bourbon FAQ now includes Vachon and Tracy's remarks about Screed from "Let No Man Tear Asunder."  My thanks to C. Puerro for pointing out the omission!
    • 11-01 "Heart Within the Beast" by Lisa McD. joins my recommendation-of-the-month list.  Thank you, Lisa!  I also reformatted the main index and added an exploration of Natalie's memory loss to the essay page.
  • October 1999
    • 10-11 I initiated the essay page.
    • 10-10 I reformatted this "What's New" page for monthly reference.
    • 10-01 "Our Puppets" by Susan B. became my October FK fanfic recommendation of the month.  Thank you, Susan!  I also replaced the illustration accompanying "Guitars and Roses," added the new movie Dog Park to Kristin Lehman's brief filmography in the Urs FAQ and revised miscellaneous minor formatting elements of the site.
  • September 1999
    • 09-05 In addition to listing my past fanzine stories on my fiction page, I added my Janette and Nick poem "Longer Than The Medicis."
    • 09-04 I checked and updated the links list, adding the classic "Forever Knighties!" page and a direct line to the SciFi Channel Schedulebot (programmed for North America, Pacific time).
    • 09-01 I listed Sharon S.'s "Caroline" as my FK fanfic recommendation of the month for September.  Thank you, Sharon!
  • August 1999
    • 08-15 I added this "What's New?" page.  08-01.  I listed Calla P.'s "Sangria" as my FK fanfic recommendation of the month for August.  Thank you, Calla!
  • July 1999
    • 07-01 I moved the various subsections of the site from the front page to their own URLs.  I also listed James K.W.'s "Eyes of a Child" as my FK fanfic recommendation of the month for July.  Thank you, James!
  • June 1999
    • 06-01 I listed Valerie M.K.'s "Color of the Night" as my FK fanfic recommendation of the month for June.  Thank you, Valerie!
  • May 1999
    • 05-25 I added the Grateful Dead/Woodstock reference from "Dying for Fame" to the timeline.  The remark may or may not have been made in jest — certainly, the "flashbacks" are nightmares, not real memories — and that is why I had previously omitted it from the timeline.  However, when I added the "Dark Knight II" and "Unreality TV" references to Lacroix's past — again, unsubstantiated — consistency demanded the DFF reference as well.
    • 05-22 I added my Nick and Lacroix story "That Ain't Love" to my fiction page.
    • 05-01 I initiated my "Fanfic Recommendation of the Month" project with Susan G.'s "Peerless Pressure."  Thank you, Susan!

 

Naturally, these fanworks are entirely fictional (there's no such thing as a vampire).  Forever Knight was created by Parriot & Cohen and belongs to Sony.  Feedback is welcome; please drop me a line and let me know what you think.  Thank you very much for reading!
