Miscellaneous Minor Character Catch-up Questions
I have typed "Nanette" (Natalie/Janette or Natalie&Janette affiliation, you know) three times this morning. This may be the first time in years I've used the word, and suddenly it's everywhere. :-)
I have a few little questions that have cropped up recently, but I've been too busy to catch up and take them home to forkni-l, where I'm sure the answers are known, so:
Thanks!
I have a few little questions that have cropped up recently, but I've been too busy to catch up and take them home to forkni-l, where I'm sure the answers are known, so:
- Do you remember whether anyone ever seriously named an Aristotle affiliation?
dj_clawson wondered. I thought one had been named, but I could so easily be confused -- of course the fancy that Susan's unforgettable Dorian has a faction called the "Archivists" could help confuse me on that (as if the confusion needs assistance).
- You remember the "Center Stage Challenge," yes? The '95ish fkfic-l challenge in which stories were written from the perspectives of the minor characters, such as Elisabeth's Feliks and Miklos stories? Well, I would like to track down the Grace story, but I can't remember either the author or title. I seem to remember it making Grace a fully-rounded character, with a complete set of connections and obligations beyond Natalie and the morgue, including a date and community involvement. Can you place it?
- And while we're on the "Center Stage Challenge," what other minor characters were written specifically for it? I was a newbie on the lists then, and I remember only Elisabeth's stories and the Grace one.
- Finally, does anyone remember the collective term for Nick, Schanke and Natalie that is the equal and opposite of "Fang Gang" for Nick, Lacroix and Janette?
Thanks!

We have a remarkable number of factions listed. But we don't have any collective term for Nick, Schanke, and Natalie. Also, we have "Dark Trinity" listed as the faction you call the Fang Gang! (Honestly, this is quite a prolific fandom, isn't it?—terminologically speaking.)
