The Peter Wingfield Fan Club was founded by Linda Wyatt in October of 1995 at the Gathering Convention 2 in Denver, Colorado. Although it had the participation of Peter Wingfield, the actor who portrayed the character Methos in the Highlander franchise, the original focus of the club was on the friendships formed between his fans, as embodied in the club motto "Let Friendship Thrive".

By October of 1996, the fan club had 408 members.

Its official publication was the newsletter Just a Guy. Over the years, the quarterly publication was re-named Thrive! and then LFT when Renee Averett took over leadership in the early 2000s.

The club had a chat on AOL on the first Monday of every month, and IRC chats every other weeks.
