[1]Why I Love Forever Knight is a resource website created by Bonnie Rutledge, with screen captures and sound files representing all of the characters of the series. Although not formally a faction site for the Die-Hards, it is often referred to as such on links lists on other sites because of the following statement on the main page:

"I'm in the process of trying to include a little bit of everyone, so consider this a Die-Hard jamboree."

Site Contents

A picture of Nick near the top of the main page links to Bons' Forever Knight Fan Fiction Wasteland, Bonnie's personal archive for her fan fiction. Below this is a table of contents leading to individual pages of thumbnailed screen captures. (Larger pictures are linked in to each thumbnail). The number of pictures varies, with the main characters having as many as two dozen screen captures; for minor characters, there might be only one or two.

The following characters or groups of characters have their own sections:

  • Nick Knight;
  • Natalie Lambert;
  • Janette;
  • Don Schanke;
  • Javier Vachon, Screed, Urs, and Bourbon (collectively);
  • the three police captains (collectively);
  • Divia;
  • various supporting and guest characters, and pets: Miklos, Alma, Serena, Tran, Feliks Twist, Fleur, Francesca, Perry, the Inca, Grace, Daniel, Erica, Larry Merlin, Alyce Hunter, Bridget Hellman, Angel, Liam O'Neal, Thomas Monroe, Richard Lambert, the Barber (Jack the Ripper), Alexandra, Aristotle, Elizabeth, Briana, the Enforcers, Sydney (Natalie's cat), Spark, Seline, Alyssa, Ellen Simmons (in her various personas);
  • pair and group pictures;
  • miscellaneous: Nick's car, the Raven nightclub, the police stations, Nick's loft, a commonly filmed apartment building.

There is also a page of .wav files, recording short sound captures of dialogue.

For pictures and sound files of LaCroix and Tracy Vetter, links lead to two of Bonnie's other websites, Nunkies Anonymous and The Good, The Bad, And The Perky, respectively.

Site Design

The same basic design for all pages ties the website together. The common background graphic is a plain pale blue, with the Forever Knight logo writ large in white. Each page is topped with the website logo, a black trapezoid with the name of the site on it. Purple text with dark teal links bracket the hue of the background in related cool tones while avoiding a monochrome appearance.
