FKWar

From Fan History Wiki

[edit] History

Just before the first Dead of Winter convention in Boston, Sharon Scott (Scottie) wrote a short fiction post about having received a green Christmas card from a Cousin and fearing it was a frog, having called Nick Knight to protect her and have the bomb squad open it. That gave then-Assistant-List-owner Cousin Laurie Salopek an opening - this was the inspiration for the first FK War.

Wars occur sporadically on the FKFIC-L@LISTS.PSU.EDU list, with prior permission from the list-owner. Hostilities are of a fictional nature and are not meant personally, although they can sometimes spill over into reality--as in Scottie’s presentation of a box of toffees to Cousin Laurie S. at Toronto Trek that contained a load a plastic cockroaches.

There are some pretty standard rules and regs and these are usually posted when a war is declared. If you’re interested in participating in any future wars, my best advice is to actually download and read parts of the previous wars, if not the whole thing. They can be hysterically amusing at times (like Don B’s final assault against LaCroix in the first war, or the repercussions of Cousin John having stolen Liz’s rabbit, Hazel, in the second war).

[edit] FKWar 2 - Application Forthcoming

Warleader -
Summary - A second war occurred in July of that year because Cousin Laurie Salopek decided she didn’t want to be a Cousin anymore and defected to the Ravenettes. This started a mass series of defections and ran with a subplot about Nick withholding LaCroix’s fan mail so he couldn’t corrupt any more followers, which finally ended with temporarily foiling LaCroix’s attempt to produce an alternate second season.

[edit] FKWar 3 - All Things Fun

Warleader
Summary - The third war began with Cousin Laurie Salopek trying to prove to LaCroix that she was a true and faithful cousin by torturing Sharon H. and Susan M. Garrett (a Nat-Packer and a Ravenette) during a real-time trip to Great Adventure amusement park. Things escalated when Cousin Karin arranged to have Dorian (the archivist of the vampires and a character Susan M. Garrett created--he takes down all the histories of the vampires and finks to the Enforcers when someone’s broken the Code), interview Susan because her fan fiction was too close to the truth. Nick got it into his fool head to kidnap Susan to save her and then all hell broke loose. The war ended with a vampire summit at three horror pubs in New York and a warning to watch out for a group called the 'Nightstalkers,' who want to end vampire interaction in human affairs.
