FK in Fandom Stocking 2015/2016

[brightknightie]

Here are the Forever Knight-related goodies that I saw stuffed into Fandom Stockings this year:

In PJ1228's:

• Nick/Lacroix drabble (post-LK) by Sharpest_asp
• Nick/Lacroix collage by Mific
• FK squee by Twinsarein
• Links to 2016 FK holiday cards by Falcon_horus
• FK fanfic gift certificate from me

In Skieswideopen's:

• Nick/Janette ficlet ("undercover as a couple") by PJ, as teaser for longer story in progress
• Nick/Janette drabble (humor) by Sharpest_asp
• FK fanfic gift certificate from me

In Blueteak's:

• Nick&Lacroix ficlet (Solstice) by Sharpest_asp
• Nick&Lacroix New Year's card (second-season promo still) by FalconHorus
• Nick&Lacroix screenshot ("A More Permanent Hell") by PJ, as placeholder for new Nick/Lacoix story
• FK fanfic gift certificate from me

In Lightbird's:

• Nick/Janette New Year's card (first-season promo still) by FalconHorus
• Nick & Reese screenshot ("Games Vampires Play") by PJ, as placeholder for new FK story
• FK fanfic gift certificate from me

In Wendymypooh's:

• Nick&Schanke screenshot ("Partners of the Month") by PJ, as placeholder for new Nick and Schanke story
• FK fanfic gift certificate from me

In Falcon_horus's:

• FK reminiscence by Lightbird
• Lacroix/Fleur screenshot ("Be My Valentine") by PJ
• Fleur fanfic gift certificate from me

In mine:

• A highly thoughtful discussion of the series finales of FK and Quantum Leap by Lightbird, incredibly generously referencing an FK essay I wrote all the way back in '99!
• A hope-filled Nick&Natalie screenshot ("The Fix") by PJ, plus a very kind intention to write a new story with my preferences (so often different from hers!) in mind.
• A happy FK reminiscence by Twinsarein, which continued through a few chatty exchanges as Twinsarein hunted up FK DVDs and rewatched "Dark Knight" for the first time in a long time.
• A lovely Nick/Janette New Year's card (first-season promo still) by FalconHorus, featuring my favorite Nick/Janette pose, here with a subtle suggestion that the Raven's lights are holiday lights, plus a sweet promise of a ficlet yet to come. Hmmm, of all FK's characters, whomever might this ficlet feature? ;-)

Did I miss any?

I agree! The screenshot that PJ chose from "The Fix" is really well and kindly chosen with me in mind.

FK is always good for a rewatch! If you want company, I could promise to match at one ep per week; I'm not positive I could match at speedier rates.

>"Unfortunately Amazon doesn't have Season 3 up for streaming. :("

Yep. I don't know for sure, but third-season really looks to have all the hallmarks of some sort of rights dispute.

For a time, FK was available for streaming on Crackle, Hulu and Amazon. (I don't know whether it was ever on Google Play; it's not now. I heard it was available on iTunes back then, but I didn't have Apple devices, so I never saw for myself.) After a while, FK vanished entirely from Crackle and Hulu, and Amazon pared down to S1 and S2 only. Those of us who purchased S3 from Amazon while it was available still have it in our Amazon video libraries (we can still stream it in all the usual ways), but no one else can buy it.

At the same time, S1 and S2 remained available in their DVD sets directly from Amazon at customary prices, while S3 is available in DVD on Amazon only from third-party sellers only, often at grotesquely inflated prices (over $100!). Whenever I see a set available there for ~$30 or less, I post about it, fwiw. If I ever find a set at, for example, Half-Price Books, I'll snap it up and offer it to someone who otherwise has no S3 access.

S3 is indeed a painful, wretched thing in many ways. But no FK fan should have to be without it! Indeed, it's S3's very wretchedness that calls out so powerfully that FK needs us to challenge and mend.
