Now that the three main archives are up in the Forever Knight Website Archive, I've started adding the War sites—and, if you weren't on list back in those days of yore, you can read about the wars here. In brief, call them a sort of RPG, with posts made to the FKFIC-L mailing list.
In the heyday of the mailing list fandom, a few hundred people might play. Not all were warscribes; but the old wars could be BIG. The Wars were, at one time, a big thing for the fandom. Quite a lot of people didn't play, of course; but those who did took war quite seriously. Hilariously so. A good time was had by all (etcetera, etcetera). I played in the last three wars, as scribe for the Die-Hard faction; and I made the website for War 15.
The first four wars are available on the main archive, indexed here; and War 8 is also there, but indexed separately.
Amparo Bertram archives War 5 on her own site.
And Jarvinia archives War 7 on her site.
(For those wondering what happened to War 6, it's a courtesy number given to the campaign back in 1996 when FK fans tried to persuade TPTB not to cancel the show.)
Here are the ones now in the Website Archive:
Wars 12 and 15 have more familiar-looking websites, with a lot of ancillary material as well as the posts.
Alas, the site for War 13—quite a nice one—disappeared from the web before I'd tucked it away in its entirety. I have the ancillary pages, as well as the posts to FKFIC-L; but I must have quit for the day before collecting the webpages that were made for the stories. The Wayback Machine has hardly anything of the site; so I have quite a bit of editing to do to turn the e-mail into the site style. I should be able to recreate the War 13 site; but it's not up yet.
Also not up are the various faction war sites. Yet.
