Fighting the Good Fight - Temora
(summary from swollen bud)
Been there, seen that -- and that is what makes Temora's "Fighting the Good Fight" so entertaining. Written in the form of an episode, complete with commercial breaks, it is a hilarious take on a typical Xena episode, lampooning the fight scenes, love interests, evil warlords and other aspects of the show we love.

Final Battle - UDK_Bard!
A very dark piece. Expect the worst. Just as the title says, this short story is about Xena and Gabrielle's last battle. Doesn't quite fit in the timeline of the series. Gabrielle fights with a staff AND her Sais. Rated NC-17 for violence and language.

First Date - Seana James
Conceived originally as a "First Blush" anthology story, "First Date" didn't germinate quite soon enough to go to Jane Doe Press' collection of short stories. The story was meant to show that we often meet our soul mates in very ordinary circumstances-- not in some blinding flash of insight or instantaneous connection-- and that it takes time for even the most confident of us to work up the nerve to ask out someone we're attracted to-- weeks, not minutes; months, not hours. The story is complete as it stands, though I did leave myself some wiggle room if Jo and Mia decide they want the rest of their story told.

Will she be satisfied to accept Zeen in her present physical state? Zeen has been badly burned - both mentally and physically - can she look past both injuries and still stand by her woman? The story is rather harrowing in its descriptions of fire, the aftermath, and some medical jargon on injuries sustained in a chemical fire. There are lots of scenes of hurt/comfort, and many times when you'll hate the main character. It is for adult audiences only. Please see the disclaimers before reading.

She makes a new life for herself in Cool Lake only to discover that just below the surface, the town hides a wicked secret of its own.

One God of War (The) - Elad Avron
Author's Note: This is my first try at alternative Fanfic writing, and is also my first try at writing a full story in English.
The story is inspired by an RPG (Role Play Gaming) storyline I have from a Star Wars RPG club. Damie and Ricky, my characters (who are as a matter of fact based on Xena and Gabrielle), are two members of the "Aurora Force" squad of the club called "Rebel Squadrons". After traveling together for a couple of years, Damie and Ricky have discovered that their love was more than just a love of two best friends, and then an entire storyline starts that is based on that, and is the origin of the next story, thus I wouldn't tell you anything else about it in order not to spoil your reading. When thinking about the limitations of transferring a Star Wars High Tech Science Fiction universe into the old mythological Xenaverse, I asked myself if I wanted to make this an Uber story or not (Uber means taking the characters to the present day). Eventually, finding absolutely no way to put the storyline the way I wanted to, I have decided to make this an Uber story after all. Also, I define the story as "Alternative". And while it does not contain any extreme sexual imagery, it does contain some sexual imagery. The reason I defined this story "Alternative" is due to its alternative (literally) nature, as well as its way of showing an alternative present. Note that since this story is fictional (well, duh!), all of the "Military regulations and rules" in the story are of course made up. So between my shallow English, my US-military ignorance, the so-called alternative story and the Uber, I hope you enjoy the story! - Elad Avron
