Nanettes
Talk0this wiki
Added by Greer Watson- For a list of members of this faction, please see Category:Nanettes.
The Nanettes are a Forever Knight fan faction who see potential for a relationship between the human doctor, Natalie Lambert, and the vampire, Janette DuCharme. This is variously interpreted, though often seen in romantic terms. The name of the faction is a portmanteau of the names of the two women.
The faction was created in 1996 by Patrick Kortner Aiex, who for a while called himself "Lone Nanette" in his sig.[1]

HistoryEdit
The Nanettes were originally created by Patrick Kortner Aiex, some time before 1 April 1996 (the first FORKNI-L digest currently available in archive). For a little while, Patrick was the only member (and, indeed, said as much in the sig at the end of his posts).
On FORKNI-L on 1 April 1996 a FAQ about the Nanettes was announced:[1]
The Nanette FAQ has been written. Any persons who want it may e-mail me at my private address. I will compile a list, and send it to all at the same time.
Thanks.

Two days later, another post from Patrick made it clear that a number of people had e-mailed to express interest in joining the Nanettes:[2]
Another option exists for those who don't want to completely defect from their current faction/fraction (although there is nothing in the Nanette bylaws that says you can't be cross-affiliated): you can be an FoN -- Friend of the Nanettes. As the Part-Time FoN Cousin Diane says, as in "Girls just want to have FoN." That will, in fact, be the motto of the FoNs.
Thanks, all.

In fact, multiple affiliations were common among Forever Knight fans at the time. In particular, many fans who considered themselves to belong to a faction associated with one of the major characters also claimed membership in one or more couple factions.
