A new Knightmare FAQ
-
We do, but like I said above, it's only really an intro. I'm talking about doing something far more IN-DEPTH. Sort of like everything on the site, plus any gaps filled in, but reorganised into a Q&A form. It'll be less a viewing guide than Illusion's site, but more easy-to-reference in design.
-
Because we're talking about something far more thorough, I think we'd call it the "Knightmare FANSFAQ" - Frequently And Not-So-Frequently-Asked Questions.
It'd just be divided into sections, and each section would be devoted to a particular subject and would have common questions or more obscure questions that get asked from time-to-time. I'd try to provide as complete an answer as I can. A bit like NKTP's old Ask Alex section, only the questions wouldn't be random points of curiosity.
Certainly this wouldn't be anything like as aesthetically pleasing as everything Illusion's done on the main site, but then it would work more as a reference guide than an exploration of the world and soul of Knightmare.

Okay everyone, I've got the format and structure for the FANSFAQ sorted out, more or less, up to a point, in a manner of speaking, I just haven't got much by the way of questions.
I think I've got most of the obvious ones that have to be asked covered. I just need to sort out what more obscure sub-questions to concentrateon.
If you have any questions you think should be included, please post them here or e-mail them to me. Thanks.

Well, here's a list of most of the ones I've thought up so far...
*What-mare?
Has Knightmare ever been released on video?
Do you know anyone who has episodes on video who could make copies for me? (!)
Is there an easy way to tell one season from another?
Who played THAT character?
Don't I recognise that actor/actress from...?
Is there anywhere I can contact this person from the series?
I can remember a character but I just CAN'T think what their name was...
Are there any KM fan clubs?
Where can I get KM merchandise?
Is there anywhere on the Internet I can meet/talk with other fans of the series?
What is...
KMChat?
NKTP?
KMRPG?
KMBS?
OTS/RPF?
A few notes on Netiquette...
So how do spells work anyway?
Did puzzles have names?
Er... technosorcerer?
What's the relationship between Mogdred and Merlin?
Where'd this Lord Fear guy come from anyway? And isn't that guy on the horse the same actor?
Was* Knightmare* ever broadcast outside the UK?*
-
Yes, as I said before, I think it's a good idea. I'll have a think about other suitable questions when I'm a bit less tired.

UPDATE: (Copied from the Back-up forum)
The first draft of version 1.0 is nearly complete - big thanks to, among others, Kieran O'Brien and Rachelesque for their help with it. Most of the entries are now in place and the main body of the document is more or less intact. (If anyone would like to see what I've done so far, please contact me and I'll e-mail it to you. The document is currently just under 170K. ALL feedback, ideas and corrections you can offer will be most welcome.)
Anorak's Corner is the one bit that's still lagging behind. What I please need from everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - is suggestions for what stats I need to include in the list.
A few ideas I'm already including...
How many times Treguard said, "Oooooh nasty!"
How many times Treguard said, "Oh dear, what a pity!"
How many quests ended with a dungeoneer falling to their doom.
How many times Merlin forgot his own name.
How many times did Mogdred boom at someone to "Quail!"?
How many pond-life references did Lord Fear use for Lissard?
How many people criticised Lissard's bad breath?
How many people did Cedric call a dogsbottom?
How many dungeoneers died in level 1?
How many dungeoneers died in level 2?
How many dungeoneers died in level 3?
How many perfect-score riddle contests were there?
How many dungeoneers did Motley ask to teach him a new joke?
How many times did Skarkill say, "LOVELY"?
Which region of the country is the best at Knightmare?
But I need more! Please put your ideas on this thread for me to research and include. And although this section is essentially just a laugh, please don't waste my time with genuinely daft suggestions.
-
How many times did a team use Smirkenoff for a flight?
How many times did he accept a Dragon Mint for payment?
What's the highest amount of characters any 1 actor has playd in Knightmare?
How many versions of the Opening and closing theme were there? (Easier, but you could add 'For an episode in S7, the lead-in stutters came in twice, as oppsed to just once, just to be more picky!)
-
Okay, the first draft is now more or less complete apart from Anoraks' Corner. I'd be grateful if volunteers would come forward to help me do research for that.
The rest of the FANSFAQ is done though. Once AC is done, I'll do a full redraft of the whole thing and then it'll be ready to go live. Should be before the end of the month.

Is it too late for one more suggestion?
A look at the grey area concerning the 'walking suit of armour': it has been called an automatum (I think), a behemoth, and even a frightknight (by Gundrada in S4, and maybe others)! If I'm wrong about any of that, it only goes to show that a clarification of the issue would be helpful!
