Talk:Exposed (Forever Knight fanzine)

This was a royal pain to add (and it still needs some more of those prettifying wikilinks) but maybe that's the worst of it from this end.

Putting it in as a series makes me wonder: 1) What makes the most sense from a user's point of view? 2) How to list? These zines don't have a series title and are just a one-person authored universe with "Nick" and "Natalie" and sometimes someone named "Sydney." 3) Only two of the zines, "The Dinner Party" and "The Performance" are specifically described as having a particular order (one taking place a year after the other), so listing them in chronological order is out unless one has read them and knows.

I know it's pretty clumsy the way it is now, but in the end, I'm not married in any way to how they're listed. ;-) Mrs. Potato Head 19:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I think that bundling really only works if we know that the series has a title and what that title is. They don't seem to have a common element in their names, and unless the source these are taken from says it is called series such-and-such, I wouldn't know where to bundle them and it would make them harder to find.

Also in the current practice for zine entries, for series with different titles (like commonly novel zine trilogies and such) the articles here are usually based on the zine, with the physical entity as discrete unit in a way, and the zines linked like here. These aren't treated as one thing. Only zine series with issue numbers (or obvious base titles, like "Another K/S Zine" and "Yet Another K/S Zine" etc.) are bundled, and I think that makes sense.--Ratcreature 19:49, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Here's a link to info about them: http://www.knightwriter.org/Shop/Shop.cgi?L=../F/ForeverK/index.html&I=SD1 Mrs. Potato Head 19:55, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Hm. Do we know for sure that this actually *is* a series, and not just that this author published individual stories as zines? (i.e., is this just the equivalent of someone's FK fanfic page on the web, where they have a dozen mostly unrelated stories, with maybe one or two that are sequels to something specific.) I don't see an indication on knightwriter.org that these are connected. (Oh, and fwiw, Sydney is Natalie's cat. :) ) --Arduinna 20:30, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if they're a series, or a bundled universe, or a collection of stories put out individually in zines or what. But they are related as they all feature the same two characters. If I read one and wanted to read another with these same characters, and get an update on that rascally feline, I'd want a way to see all the zines together somehow. ... Just had a thought! If Natalie is a canon character, then this whole series thing is moot. If this is the case, let me know, and I'll go take out all the cross-pollination.

Yes, Natalie is definitely canonical - looking at that knightwriter list, I didn't see any OCs anywhere. (Nick, Nat, and Schanke are all primary characters in FK.) --Arduinna 20:57, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, knock me over with a cat named Sydney. Sorry about that. I'll go and fix them. Mrs. Potato Head 21:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
