What is Forever Knight Fan Fiction?

Forever Knight Fan Fiction includes stories, poetry, songs, and mixtures of all three and more written by fans of the TV series Forever Knight. A show that is near and dear to the hearts of all of us fans, fan fiction is a wonderful way of being creative, capturing your thoughts and feelings about the show and characters, as well as venting your emotions, especially when TPTB have episodes we don't particularly agree with. Stories can range from any time in
the show, on any topic, and including or excluding any characters you may which to write about (even your own). Upset with an episode or that the series is ending? Just remember the FK Fan Fiction Writers Motto:

If you don't like it, rewrite it.

Though Forever Knight was cancelled and last aired on May 17, 1996 in the episode Last Knight (check out the Last Knight Challenge stories!), Forever Knight lives on through fanfiction, including the Forever Knight Virtual Fourth Season. Forever Knight sometimes airs on the SciFi Channel

How do I submit Forever Knight Fan Fiction?

Forever Knight related stories are always welcome and we're always looking for submissions to this archive. As of October, 2006, submissions are on hold until we get the new archive set up and working

Here's some basic steps to follow in submitting Fan Fiction stories to this Web site (www.fkfanfic.com):

1. Write your story/submission. Don't get too angsty whether it is too odd or too strange. There have been all kinds of stories submitted as fan fiction. If in doubt, read over some of the other fan fiction stored online or received on the mailing list, or you can also submit your story and/or story ideas to a FK Fan Fiction
   beta-reader. Be sure to abide by the rules listed below in the rules for submission, especially the new rule of
   only using fictional characters in your stories.
2. Proofread your story, including spellchecking. Have your story proofread by one or more persons, typically called a beta-reader.

What are the rules for posting stories to FKFIC-L?

For complete FK Mailing List info, reference the Helpful Hints for the Forever Knight Mailing List page.

Here's some of the highlights from this page relating to FKFIC-L:

1. No discussion on the FKFIC-L mailing list, which is for fiction only! Discussion of fan fiction and all other Forever Knight related topics should be posted to FORKN-L or FKSPOILR.
2. No Adult topics without the specific use of the Adult Topic. FKFIC-L has an ADULT topic that requires the subject to start with ADULT: . This then tells the listserver to filter out this mail to those MAIL subscribers who have the adult topic turned off (see the FK Mailing List commands page for more info). Stories containing gore and explicit sex require use of the adult topic.
3. Limit postings to 500 lines per post. Some email programs cannot handle messages larger than 500 lines. If your story is longer than 500 lines, break it into parts or chapters and label it appropriately (see #4).
4. Label your fiction. Label the title of your submission and add the following labels as appropriate in the
   Subject and header lines of each and every one of your submission(s):
   • ADULT: If your fiction has adult topics in it.
   • SPOILER: If your story includes information still under spoiler protection. Also list the name of the
     episode(s) being spoiled.
   • Chapter/Part: If your fiction is the 4th part of 16, label that in the subject. Example: Storyname
     (01/10), Storyname (02/10)or Storyname (01/?), Storyname (02/?) if the number of chapters/parts is
     unknown.
5. Be sure to include only fictional characters in your story. Per a post to FKFIC-L from listowner Laurie Salopek on May 21, 1996, because of legal reasons, stories containing real people, especially using the real names of people, cannot be posted to the FK Fan Fiction mailing list. Legally, you cannot use real people or their names in a fictional story without their direct personal consent.

Miscellaneous FK Fan Fiction related questions:

What is a beta-reader?

Admit it, we're all human (unless you are a vampire ;-) ) and make mistakes: typos, grammatical errors, punctuation, missing plot details, etc. A beta-reader is a person that proofreads your story before you actually submit it to the archive. Having someone "beta-read" your story before submission is a good way to get feedback on your story plot, grammar, writing style, and general adherence to the FK genre (though adherence can be somewhat vague). It will also make reading your story more enjoyable for the readers. If you're looking for beta-readers, you can sometimes post a message to the FK Mailing List, FORKN-L.
