May 5 will be the 29^th anniversary of "Dark Knight," Forever Knight's series premiere. May 18 will be the 25^th anniversary of "Last Knight," the finale. And 2021 will be our 12th FKFicFest!

Would you like to play this year? If so, when and how?

This poll is for community members. (Join us!) The poll will close at 11:59 PM (Pacific Time) on Sunday, January 24, 2020 (or, really, a reasonable hour the next morning). Thanks!
