Happy third month anniversary everyone! I can't believe it has only been three months..but I can see that people do love their fanfic by the traffic we have gotten through the site. Thank you all for giving us an opportunity to encourage new and old writers alike.

Another new person has joined the academy. Let me say this much, when people send me really excellent fanfic to code, it takes me much longer to finish my update...such was the case again today <g>. Please take the time to go and read our new entries!

Elemental by jtd [alt/finished]

Set immediately after the events in ONE AGAINST AN ARMY, this "first-time" story is an emotional excursion. It is on Lunacy's Must Read list and who am I to disagree!

Motherhood Revisited, Again by Lena [alt/finished]

Another look at the XWP 5th season episode, "Motherhood". This one offers an alternative, and much better (in my opinion) ending..another great read!

A Centaur's Tail by Alexiares

Life is never dull for the weaponmasters of Ankitheas. Dealing with Eumache's pregnancy and struggling with home improvement projects has Thraso's hands full, a situation Artemis can relate to. An unfortunate argument with Cyrene has led to the home improvement project of all improvement projects in Amphipolis... and their own joining arrangements besides. Throw in a centaur and the remainder of Gabrielle's labours and... ummm... well, the author has no idea, but will keep you posted.

Remember a few months back when I said the book was no longer for sale? Apparently John decided to keep it going, but couldn't contact me. So, for about four months the book has been available, but no one knew it. Sooo...if you still want a copy of "Blood Red Scream" go to Buy Books and get one now, before they really DO stop selling it! http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/description.asp?ISBN=0-7414-0163-0 (If this link doesn't work go to www.buybooksontheweb.com and type in the title, "Blood Red Scream" in the search box.)

Legacy by Ellen Maziekien

 

 

June 17th, 2000

First I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Missy Good on her invitation to write another XWP episode. Missy..you totally ROCK! Congratulations!

Added part 19 of PatsBard's terrific story Under a Colorado Sky

One of our most prolific bards (other than Ellie of course <g>) is Claire Withercross. She has given us yet another excellent story.

In The Name Of Love

Xena's word is her bond, and when she vows to kill an enemy the next time they meet, she means it. But that was before she met Gabrielle. Now, after turning away from her evil past a reformed Xena and her former enemy meet. Will Xena keep her word? She wants to, and she's not alone in that wish. But the outcome of keeping her word could have far reaching consequences.

 

ArdentTly's The Conqueror's Harvest

Greece has had nothing but civil war ravaging her endlessly, as each warlord rose through the ranks to try and wrestle power and leadership from the Corinthian thrown. The realm was ruled by a despotic ruler whose short sighted goals only included the lining of his purse.

The land cried out for a change and roared their approval when a strong and fearless warrior strode forth and vanquished all enemies before her.

She was Lord Xena, Champion of Corinth, and the people had never known a ruler quite like her.

Dark in both deed and desire, she held her empire in a painful grip, determined to have her reign go down in the annals of history as not only the most powerful, but the most fearsome as well. Into her stronghold was brought a young woman naive in the ways of the world but learned in the ways of the heart. Her fierce determination to change the cold and heartless Conqueror would have both women in a battle of wills, pitting both against each other, the truth, and life as they both knew it.

Would either survive this clash of hearts?

June 15th, 2000

When we first started this site 2 1/2 months and 40,000 hits ago, some of my pals allowed me to put their work on this site to help us get readers over to it. My pals just happened to be some pretty good writers. In appreciation of the favor, I would like to get the word out regarding a project two of those bards are doing now...

Starting Friday, June 16 at Noon Eastern Time, Fanatic (author of The Seven Wonder Series and co-author of the hit series 'Exposure') and Advocate (author of 'Untitled: The Story of Me' and most recently, 'Cobb Island') will present a new weekly mini-series called Castaway. Join our mailing list, Castaway2000 at www.eGroups.com, to subscribe to each episode. Also visit our website at: http://www.stas.net/twincreation/castaway/index.html ; there you'll find cast photos, biographies, and much more about this romantic-comedy that parodies the hit television show 'Survivor'. (alt/uber)

It promises to be a good one. Already I have seen many familiar names on the Castaways list (you know who you are <g>). So get over to the site and check it out. If you like what you see, then sign up for the mailing list.

The long awaited Chapter 18 of Under a Colorado Sky by PatsBard is up! This will be something only for the over 18 crowd <g>

Update Chapter 17 of A Year In Paris by Malaurie Barber

Salina has given us two stories today.....

Ep 19, Forced Encounters:

Xena gone for the past three days on a "Fact Finding Mission" has left a tired, and somewhat sick bard in Amphipolis. Gabrielle has gone to the healer and discovered something extraordinary has occured. Will Xena be upset? How did this happen? How is Xena planning to confront Ares this time? Will this all be resolved? Please come and go on this journey with are favorite two women, and answer these questions for yourself. This is the 1st episode of the final 4 for Xena: Warrior Princess for Season 6, at least my interpretation of what could happen per the suggestion by ANA on the Merwolf Pack List. Stay tuned for Ep. 20

Ares Time. Ep. 20:

Gabrielle now knows Xena's plan to defeat Ares for all time. Is she capable of it? Will she more importantly survive from it?! How can another Gods help insure Ares demise? Are you ready to find out how Gabrielle is doing. Will the love and friendship these two women share be enough to over come the odds stacked against them? This is the 2nd episode of the final 4 episode's of Xena: Warrior Princess for Season 6. stay with me for #3 Hope Everlasting.

 

Cassandra and Bik's stories are not to be missed!

Gabrielle's Fables 6: The Revenge of the Hawk

This fable continues the story begun in Fable 5. The hawk is out for revenge on those who fooled him. But his foes are more resourceful than he realizes.

Whacked by an Angel

Written in response to the 5th season opener. If you are going to be dead, you might as well enjoy the afterlife. Xena and Gabrielle are on probation from paradise, doing good deeds on earth.

Whacked by an Angel Again: Return of Callisto

The "reformed" Callisto is getting on everybody's nerves in paradise so the powers-that-be come to Xena and Gabrielle for help. They hope that if Callisto can travel with our gals and see that doing good is a positive force, she may get back some of her old spirit.

Stories

Added part 16 of A Year in Paris by Malaurie Barber

Penitentia: The Second Sacrament - Morrig

Everyone has a cross to bear, a sin to contend with, a penance to serve¹some sacrifice it all for another, while others betray. When innocence is shattered and faith torn asunder, who will stand and make amends? Magali's life is a countless toll of mortal sins, and Casey, her Saint, will offer up her own sacrifice in this sequel to Absolution.

 

Uber in a Nutshell ..a Swollen Bud winner, by Beth Gaynor

Here is the summary from the Swollen Buds page done much better than I could have done:

The Xenaverse is filled with uber stories that are suffused with splendid imagery that evokes a sense of being 'in frame' with the characters. Tender emotional scenes, angst-filled conversations and heart-felt discoveries of souls clicking into place are commonplace and often span multiple timelines, with the eternity of the love occurring over and over. Each meeting is as rewarding as the next. This story is refreshing in the manner in which it quickly cuts to the heart of the relationship with clear, concise writing. Using an economy of words, that same feeling is evoked in striking simplicity. (As a matter of fact it's exactly half as long as this summary!)

 

Three Weeks does not a Lifetime Make...Oh Yeah by Lena

A comedic sequel to Ares's Gift. Xena and Gabrielle learn just how frustrating motherhood can be. Rated R for content.) Sequel number one.

 

Received an email from Alix Stokes today I thought I would share.

I am thrilled to announce that Mended Hearts is now available for pre order! You may order it directly from this site www.rapbooks.com/Store/index.html The number of books printed is dependent upon the number of books pre ordered. So order now if you don't want to wait for the second round! This is a re-written, edited, revised version of the original net version. I sincerely believe that you will enjoy it much more than the original. My editor and I worked very hard to improve it. Mended Hearts is done, but now I am facing joint fusions of three fingers, two of them on the right hand. I haven't decided yet whether or not to have surgery now, or wait until later. So Choices is temporarily on hold. Hopefully, not for long! I may even be able to type with splints. Who knows? I hope to be sending you the edited version of MH to put on the Merpup Academy soon. It isn't the book version(I'm forbidden by contract) but it is far superior to the net version.

If you want to send well wishes to Alix you may write her at alix_s64@hotmail.com. As soon as I get the revised, re-edited version of Mended Hearts, I'll get that up for you guys!

I am going to start with the updates since we have MANY stories added today! I am reading both of these stories in progress and let me tell ya..these are good updates!

Added part 5 of Rock of Ages Past by Elaine L. Becker

Added part 18 of All in the Family by Sarkel

 

We have three new bards added to the Academy today...Alexiares, Mikki Hibbens, and Heartstarter. I look forward to reading all of these stories!

It All Began With A Trout by Alexiares

A look at Xena and Gabrielle, from an outsider who isn't carrying a 747 worth of baggage. Weaponmaster Thraso has a quicker mind and wit than most would expect, and some difficulty walking in a straight line without tripping. The trip to her home village leads to some surprising results, and a rousing game of 'Slap Your Neighbour.'

And It Continued With A Skunk by Alexiares

Thraso is as hapless as ever, this time travelling with her girlfriend Eumache to Arboria on a diplomatic mission. The little party soon picks up not only Xena and Gabrielle, but also Cyrene with her supply of pastries and mischief. No meeting between Thraso and Xena can be an ordinary one, and revelations and mayhem are the result.

Liaisons Ridiculeuse by Alexiares

The first five parts of this epic of foolish proportions were created by Alexiares and Rachel Hahn. Starting with Rachel's idea that Ephiny and Callisto should be a couple and Eponin and Solari were just made for each other, the craziness starts with an invitation to Thraso and Eumache in their village of Ankitheas to attend the joining of the regent and the reformed Goddess. Artemis, Aphrodite, and at least one Muse are soon cheerfully wreaking havoc behind the scenes while Xena struggles to avoid decorating duty. heck, there's even a bay boom happening in this thing!

 

When Souls Collide by Mikki Hibbens

The first story is what you might call a prequel to the series. I personally read this story a while ago and I thought it was fantastic back then and I still think it is a very good read!

Blind Faith Revisited by Mikki Hibbens

A First time romantic alt-fic epilog to the episode Blind Faith.

 

Hard To Say Goodbye by Heartstarter

This is the first story in a series that sees Gabrielle leave Xena to studying at the Athens City of Performing Bards. It follows our heroes for the day or two before they have to say goodbye. sob. Sob

The Weekend Visitor by Heartstarter

This is the second story in the series, which basically has no plot, it's just all about sex, sex, sex! Xena and Gabrielle are reunited and it's set 2 weeks after the last story.

That Scroll by Heartstarter

This is the third story in the series, and we find out what was in that mysterious scroll Xena handed Gabrielle at the end of The Weekend Visitor.

Wasted Moments by Heartstarter

This is the fourth story in the series, so after the surprising scroll, Gabrielle decides to reward Xena with some you-know-what... but, as always, things don't go to plan....

The Fallout by Heartstarter

This is the fifth and final story in the series. Xena has left Gabrielle again, but Gabrielle is determined not to let her get away with it... an interesting and surprising final act!

...Do as the Romans. Enjoy a span of time in the notorious bathhouses with a beautiful woman.Gotta love those PWP stories <g> [uber/finished]

 

More stories from one of our favorite contributors Claire Withercross...

The Adventures Of Gabrielle (and some other person)

This is a parody of how the dynamic duo first got together. It's likely to be the first in an occasional series.

A young woman ventures into the big bad city and applies for a job as a sidekick. However, the hero may not be all she at first seems!

Next up is A Near Life Experience andááA Near Life Experience, Too, these are the same story told from different POVs and is "Sins Of The Past" revisited, with a twist.

After hesitating when Dracos men capture the women of Poteidaia, Xena finds herself rounded up with them. One story, two points of view. Gabrielle sees a dark, mysterious and dangerous woman, yet at some level there is an attraction for her rescuer. For Xena, it's just another day at the office, except at the end of it she acquires a sidekick.

A new bard to our list is Jaden

Brush With The Law

A Plot? What Plot? story about a young woman who meets a great looking cop on a lonely stretch of road.

Making Up

Following events in Egypt, and the season 5 episode "Antony and Cleopatra," Xena has one miffed Gabrielle on her hands, and has to figure out a way to make right between them again. Xippy winner.

25 Years Without

Another Plot? What Plot? story about Xena and Gabrielle's need to be close together following the season 5 ender "Motherhood".

No One Else For Me But You

Another story following the events of "Motherhood," theááseason 5 ender that has Gabrielle and Xena reflecting on where theiráárelationship has been and where they would like it to go.
