Today is the 30th anniversary of FK's LK

[brightknightie]

I've released the gameplay post for fkficfest 2026, the annual Forever Knight (1992-1996) fanfiction event. Promotional posts to the usual DW communities will follow, one every few days, until all are notified. As you like, please do promote the celebration in your own journal(s) and anywhere off DW.

Today, May 18, 2026, happens to be the 30th anniversary of the first airing of "Last Knight," FK's notorious finale (give or take local syndication schedules). I don't feel precisely the same about the show or the fandom as I did all those years ago, of course; I wouldn't expect anyone to. But I do still treasure both. ♥

😭

I wasn't in the fandom until a couple of months after this. What a gut punch and I didn't know anyone else who watched the show at the time. But then I got the internet for the first time and stumbled across #foreverknight on IRC and the rest is history.

😥 LK is such a devastating cliffhanger.

I wasn't in the fandom back then (I didn't even know about fandoms then), but I'm so happy that I stumbled upon FK again some years ago and found this community here on DW and AO3. It's so remarkable that even after three decades, the fandom still exists, and -thanks to you- still has an annual fandom event. Thank you, and everyone still creating new fics, sharing anecdotes, thoughts and cool finds about or beloved vamps and humans. You don't know about the impact you've made. 💜

Happy Ambiguous Ending Day.

It's hard to believe it was really thirty years ago—but the numbers don't lie. It was a shocker of an ending. The one bright side is the sheer inspiration it was for so many fan writers. Myself included.
