Abby82 is a vidder and author of fanfic and meta. She used to archive these on her website, Guardians of the Truth. After the demise of GeoCities, she rebuilt it in a revised form under the name The Rambling Fanatic (no longer on line). Today, most of her stories and vids are on AO3. The majority are related to the television series Forever Knight.
[...] I stumbled upon FK in its last two, three episodes. "Last Knight" was the first episode I saw in its entirety and while there were two references to Schanke, I didn't know what a "Schanke" was. There was a flashback in the episode with Janette but Schanke was absent. And even once season 3 began to re-air, there wasn't anything that told me who Schanke was as a person. The only thing that got close to it was Nick retelling Schanke's dream about "being naked at the end of a bowling alley".I tend to gravitate towards female characters so Natalie and Tracy made an impression on me. I liked Tracy and I grew to love the series based on that final season. By the time I got to see seasons 1 & 2, I was all about consuming everything FK that I could get my hands on. [...]
Abby82's earliest stories focus on the relationship between Nick Knight and Natalie Lambert, either from the perspective of friendship or romance; and this remains a frequent theme in later works. Characterization was a strength from the start; and several of her later stories demonstrate her ability to see below the surface to the complex, often contradictory motivations and reactions of characters whose relationship is still under development.
Fellow fan gnosticdiva commented on one story:[2]
As a fanfic writer, you're becoming a formidable talent. And no, that's not just lip service. :) You have the ability to see into the heart of the character and make it visible to others without coming off maudlin or preachy. Also, I noticed your prose is becoming more fluid and detailed, whereas your earlier fics were more "bare bones" quality. Both styles have their respective places, but I think the change in your case is due to improved command of your storytelling.
Abby82's active period of interest in Forever Knight spanned 2007 to 2009.
