Diane Echelbarger was the leader of the NATPE Seven, the group of Forever Knight fans who went to Las Vegas in January 1994 to lobby the National Association of Television Program Executives in the hope of persuading the producers not to cancel the show. Diane was also an author of Forever Knight fan fiction. At one time she had a personal website, The Pewter Gryphon's Lair (originally at http://my.execpc.com/~echelbar/ archived, and now in the Forever Knight Website Archive), which included some of her fan fiction and a report on the activities of the NATPE Seven.
