FKFicFest 2026

[brightknightie]

If at least 5 people total want to play this year, I will run fkficfest, the annual Forever Knight (1992-1996) fic event, again. I'll put up a poll soon, probably next week.

I've got a few more real-life events and obligations than usual this spring, and it looks like we've very unfortunately lost everywoman as a summer event, so I'm thinking perhaps June or July this year, instead of the traditional May. (May is the anniversary of FK's finale and premiere both; FK was a mid-season replacement series, making it actually half a year older than HL.)

I am still, very personally and individually -- and I say this here on my own journal, not in the community -- feeling rock-bottom alienated from the dominant preferences of the broader surviving fandom at this point. (This doesn't mean any individual fans; it means approaches and interpretations.) So I will try to take it easy on myself and dial back my own engagement in ways that shouldn't affect anyone else. I'll sit in my corner and muse quietly on old-fashioned takes, like that Nick is right and Lacroix is wrong, vampirism is a metaphor for evils like addiction and abuse, and selflessness is better than selfishness.

as you know, I did the same thing vis a vis FK a long time ago. I wish you well with the fest should it continue and if you write, I am, of course, happy to read for you.

Thank you! Always.

I certainly would like to play this year, if you feel up to it. The summer timing actually works better for me.

[brightknightie]

Noted and counted.

Please count me in. Summer will be better for me this year as well. May would be very difficult. I really look forward to this every year, both the writing and the reading. Thank you so much for offering to run the game again this year.

Counted, noted, and you're welcome!

I would also like to play again this year. Summer sounds good, time wise. Thank you for offering to run the ficfest again!
