"Um, posted where? Not to fkfic-l? I don't think I ever saw them...?"

No, it would have been too much of a nuisance to reformat everything. It went on my own website, http://ca.geocities.com/gwatson2@rogers.com/index.html (http://ca.geocities.com/gwatson2@rogers.com/index.html). However, I did make an announcement on FORKNI-L. In fact, it was posted right through the regular TV season. I linked in an episode each week (Sunday night, usually), and posted the notice on FORKNI-L so those people who were reading it could "tune in". It started in the fall and ended in May, just like a real TV series.

If you were getting FORKNI-L messages during the 2004/5 television season, then you got the notifications. However, it is entirely possible that—since I always said right in the message that things were in a type of script format—you just read right over the announcement, ignoring it as being something you weren't interested in.

FK4 is a virtual fourth season for ''Forever Knight'' based on the premise that "Last Knight" never happened because the show was never cancelled. Therefore, when they did "Ashes to Ashes", they didn't kill off Vachon and Urs (both of whom appear as regulars in my series); and, of course, there was no "Last Knight".

The cast of FK4 is basically that of Season Three, except that (a) Vachon is in all episodes, and Urs in nearly all; (b) Janette is a recurring character, in almost half the episodes. Also (though appearing less often), I use Screed & Bourbon and Tracy's mother as recurring characters.

The script format is modified; and the feedback I get from most people is that my stuff is a lot easier to read than actual scripts. Though much, much longer. Each episode runs about 115 to 120 pages. Essentially, it's a transcription (in great detail) of everything that you would be seeing and hearing, except the music. You not only get all the dialogue, but also all the camera angles, all the editing, shot by shot, and all the "actor's business", like intonation and minor movements. That may sound impossibly dull; but I have been told that, as a result, it is much more rewarding than reading a regular script. (I have also been told that my episodes are just like real ones. Which is one hell of a compliment!)

Do try them out if you are feeling FK deprived. Start with the season premiere, which is a two-parter, and do them in order. As the season progresses, there is a bit of continuity. Not a lot, since that wouldn't be authentic. But a little.

I hope you like them.
