The first set of ForKni-L Affiliation Pins was constructed by Susan M. Garrett and Calliope Monsoon on New Year's Eve, 1995, and were first distributed at Dead of Winter Con in January of 1995. The pins were originally designed, in part, to help find fellow fans at conventions and other places. They were decorated with representing the various factions of fans that had emerged through the FORKNI-L mailing list. The symbols for the factions were laser printed onto labels, which were then attached to pieces of bevel-cut foam-core board with pin-backs glued to them.

  • The first set of ForKni-L Affiliation Pins was constructed by Susan M. Garrett and Calliope Monsoon on New Year's Eve, 1995, and were first distributed at Dead of Winter Con in January of 1995. The pins were originally designed, in part, to help find fellow fans at conventions and other places. They were decorated with representing the various factions of fans that had emerged through the FORKNI-L mailing list. The symbols for the factions were laser printed onto labels, which were then attached to pieces of bevel-cut foam-core board with pin-backs glued to them. The pins were later made available through a page on Susan Garrett's website. To receive a pin, fans were told to send her a padded, stamped, self-addressed envelope, with a note stating their affiliation. Up to five pins were free; however, those who wanted more were asked to make a small donation to the Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Anyone who wanted a full set of pins (representing all the affiliations) was asked to donate US$15.00 to the same charity. The following factions had pins with their symbols on them: * Knighties * Cousins * Ravens and Ravenettes * FoDs * Nat Pack * FoSiLs * Die Hards * Myras * Cohen-heads * Mikies * Nick & Nat Packers * Immortal Beloveds * Cousins of the Knight * Archivist's Assistants * Perkulators * The Ratpack * Vaqueros * Reese's Pieces * Valentines * Dark Knighties * The Lurkers * The Diviants * Light Cousins * The Unnamed Faction * Mercenaries Additional factions were named as not yet having pins designed for them: * The Urchins * The Lonely Hearts * The Graces * The INCArnates * CERK * Fleur-Boosters * Faithfuls
