1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions. Here is where you will find answers
to common questions asked by List members and various other fans of the show.
We've done our best to compile them all together, but there are sure to be others.
If you don't find the answer to your question here, feel free to post to the
List.
3. WHERE TO WRITE TO CAST
If you want to write to anyone affiliated with the series, you should first
try any web sites that might have contact information on them or guest books
you can sign. Unfortunately, the production office where you could send letters
or photo requests is no longer open. You can visit the official Dr. Quinn Web
Site for the latest updates on the cast and crew and links to any web sites
pertaining to those actors. They usually provide more information on how to
contact someone.
4. FAN CLUB
There is no longer an official DQMW fan club, but there is a fan magazine called
The DQ Times, that includes behind-the-scenes articles and in-depth interviews
with the cast and crew, as well as special features from various subscribers.
They also have cast pages and photo albums.
This news magazine is published once a year by the DQ fanclub in late October.
For more information, visit their web site:

5. FAN FICTION
Please note that television programs do not accept scripts from viewers unless
you have a writer's agent and it is submitted through that agent. Actors operate
under the same policy.
It is okay to post short fan/viewer-written fiction on DQMW-L as long as it
is marked "Fan Fiction" in the Subject line (abbreviated "FF").
We have subscribers who do not want to read these messages for various reasons.
A listing of Dr. Quinn Fan Fiction Sites and stories can be found on the Official
DQMW site:

8. WHERE DID THE SHOW FILM?
The series was shot on the Paramount Ranch (fondly called the P-Ranch) in the
Santa Monica National Recreational Area, north of Malibu and just south of Agoura
Hills, California. To get there, take Highway 101 (Ventura Highway) to Agoura
Hills, CA. Exit from 101 onto Kanan Road and turn left off the exit so you are
driving south. Just south of 101, turn left onto Cornell Rd (there's a turn
sign on Kanan which says Cornell Way). Follow Cornell Road to the entrance for
the P-Ranch about 1-1/2 miles on the right. You can also find more information
about filming and behind-the-scenes information at the Official Dr. Quinn Web
Site:
http://www.drquinnmd.com/library/behindscenes.html
The National Park Service has a web page at "http://www.nps.gov/samo"
which is about the Santa Monica Recreational Area. This site has directions,
climate and recommended clothing, visitor hours, facilities and opportunities,
etc.
Please observe the rules posted at the P-Ranch and obey the Rangers.
