| - This author produces Forever Knight fan videos and art (notably icons) under the name Abby82, and fan fiction under the name Abby. For an alphabetical list of Forever Knight-related material by this author, please see . Abby82 first saw Forever Knight as Season 3 was drawing to a close. Indeed, the first episode that she saw in its entirety was "Last Knight", though she was able to see the full season as it re-aired that summer.[1] I tend to gravitate towards female characters so Natalie and Tracy made an impression on me. I liked Tracy and I grew to love the series based on that final season. By the time I got to see seasons 1 & 2, I was all about consuming everything FK that I could get my hands on. Abby82's earliest stories focus on the relationship between Nick Knight and Natalie Lambert, either from the perspective of friendship or romance; and this remained a frequent theme in later works. Characterization was a strength from the start; and several of her later stories (notably "Change Upon Us" and "Five Facets of a Metro Homicide Detective") demonstrate her deft ability to see below the surface to the complex, often contradictory motivations and reactions of characters whose relationship is still under development. Fellow fan gnosticdiva commented on one story:[2] As a fanfic writer, you're becoming a formidable talent. And no, that's not just lip service. :) You have the ability to see into the heart of the character and make it visible to others without coming off maudlin or preachy. Also, I noticed your prose is becoming more fluid and detailed, whereas your earlier fics were more "bare bones" quality. Both styles have their respective places, but I think the change in your case is due to improved command of your storytelling. However, Abby82's active period of interest in Forever Knight spanned only three years, 2007 to 2009. Even at the time, she also wrote in other fandoms, and has continued to do so since.
