A Sign Of Things To Come

[ithildin]

See? I make my first rec post to hl_recs and I screw it up. I didn't realize I wouldn't be able to go back and edit the tags because it's a moderated community, so my first post is missing tags altogether [sighs]

I'm sure this is like breaking a virtual mirror or something.

BTW, did I mention? I'm the reccer for the month of April. Something of an April Fools joke on myself, I'm beginning to think :)

I was on the FKFIC listserv, PSU, I think. Mel runs this archive: http://www.fkfanfic.com/ She started it in 1996

OH GOD IT WAS PSU. Geez. I always run back to my alma mater.

Yeah, I read many a fic on that site.

Dang! I see Mel has archived an email digest (http://www.fkfanfic.com/fkmisc/lastknight.txt) from the the old FKspoiler list. The subject was 'Last Knight'. Rereading it is a trip. I'd almost forgotten how passionate we all were about our show. I don't think I'll ever be that involved in a fandom again.

I had to watch Last Knight from a hotel tv, because my parents just happened to be visiting me when I worked at Cedar Point, and I didn't have cable in the work dorms. I didn't even know it would be on. It was like a gift. Aaaaaand then I saw the ending.

Do you remember for-kni-l? I did everything by mailing list then. I remember an in person get together in NYC about FK. I think I went by emily d in those days. A friend of mine took me away for the weekend because I was so heavily into fandom those days.

"Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end!"

and then the Bujold list, Sentinel fandom, B5. Ah dear sweet B5. I remember it well.

Cue Maurice Chevalier.

I was a member of Forkni till about a year and a half ago actually.

it's still around? Mel the Redcap still around?

*butts in*

FORKNI-L is definitely still around. Don Fasig and Lisa McDavid are still the admins, and they still make everybody play nice, which is singularly unique among the mailing lists I've participated in.

I do remember for-kni-l. I called it forknil

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

LOL! I remember a thread on the list about how you pronounced the list name. I always called it forknee, which I believed led to a whole silly thing about Knights that say nee!
