Check out the website Jewelry by Xenonbia Wright and keep memories of Pasadena with you forever!

Stories

Looking For Love By Anj (Azurenon)
This is about a Xena fan-fiction writer (Rachael Perry) who, at the age of 42, is once again single following the dissolution of a long-term relationship. At a gay bar, in a small southern town, she meets up with a tall, dark stranger (Regi). Sorry, this isnt an uber story. Regi is not a ravishing beauty with blue eyes and Rachael is no Gabrielle by a long shot, either. Shes just a lonely Xenite "looking for love".

However Gabrielle encounters the alternate Xena who is Athena's Champion and in desperate need of redemption.

In her attempts to point Xena on the right direction Gabrielle misses her opportunity to get home and becomes trapped on the other world. In the home universe Xena falls apart without Gabrielle and becomes the monster she was before she met Gabrielle.áIn addition to this, Gabrielle's presence is harming the alternate universe and if she isn't sent home soon that world will be destroyed. Can Xena get Gabrielle home to her homeworld to the moment before her death to prevent the tragic events that occur in her absence and find redemption in a world without her?

Hi guys. As ya'll know, the auctions and raffles in and around Pasadena raised 58,000.00 for the American Cancer Society. I was reviewing the American Cancer Society's page after the convention, attempting to find a person I could talk to about tendering our donation. We had decided to donate the funds to the Summer Camps for Kids with Cancer, and Laura had discovered one in her area, Camp Can Do, as an example. Well, we didn't expect to do nearly as well as we did. (g) So, what I thought was - it would be better to split the donation up and send it to more than one camp - sort of spread the cheer around, as it were. I went to the camp page, and found camps in areas where we have a lot of people who were part of the raffle and donation - Florida, New York, California, Penn (Camp Can Do) and Texas.

I contacted the directors at each camp (and believe it or not, I could not get the California camp to call me back so I could get an address to send the donation to - we selected as an alternate, Atlanta, where we will all be gathering for Dragoncon.) So anyway, it being busy at work for me last week, I just called and got the addresses, and said we had a donation. Then, I realized that two or three of the addresses were PO boxes, and I knew that Denise wasn't about to send all them checks and cash to no PO box, so I suggested she contact the directors of those camps and get real addresses. (bear with me, ya'll - there is a point to this story. (gggg) Saturday, Denise and Lisa drove on down to pick up two of the extra posters we're sending BACK to NZ for signature that we'd had sent to my house in The Big Box. (with the bubblewrap, yes. Denise got the box, and bubbles, back, so she can roll around in t.. anyway.) So, Denise tells me that she contacted the camp directors to get the addresses.

One of the camps she contacted was in Texas. Austin, Texas, as a matter of fact. She explained to the camp director that she needed a street address to send this donation to - the lady didn't understand at first - she just told Denise to send it to the PO Box. Denise, of course, told her she couldn't do that because of the size of the donation, and the need to send it return recipt. The camp director asked her how much the donation was - and Denise told her it would be 11,100.00. Denise said there was absolute silence coming down that telephone line for so long, she finally had to say 'hello?' just to make sure the lady was still there. Well, she was - and what it turned out was - until that very moment, that camp was 10,000.00 short of it's budget for this summer. So we were, this nice, very overwhelmed lady told Denise, an answer to a prayer. I thought that was pretty cool. M

As some of you know I have just returned from the Con and must tell you I was overwhelmed with all the wonderful folks out there who give their time and talents to keep us all entertained with stories.

I remember back when (yea yea I'm old) I was receiving Missy's story At A Distance in daily emails ;) Seeing her published and writing scripts show how with the great support of all you readers and fans all the changes and progress we can make in this world. It was a natural progression and change is a part of growth and who knows where this will continue from here.

With this in mind and considering all the changes that Fan Fiction will face in the coming year, after discussing the best future for Beyond Uber I would like to announce that the UFFD and The Beyond Uber Crew (Raven, Celine and Singer) have decided to separate our sites. This is a mutual decision as we are both strong indexes and will most likely be reporting the same information as Uber fiction continues to grow.

The UFFD will continue to report Xena and Uber while Beyond Uber will now be owned by Raven, Celine and Singer and will be housed at our new address : http://www.beyonduber.com

This site addy will be active by Sunday till then we can be found at http://www.specialweb.com/xena/beyond.htm. We hope to expand our site to grown to accommodate Uber and Original fiction and with many other ideas to help keep our loyal readers entertained with more fun and artworks. Keep an eye out we will be growing by leaps and bounds.

At this time I would like to thank Barry and UFFD for their support in this change and for allowing us our creative licenses in building a tiny page into the expanded site it has become. It has been wonderful working with everyone at UFFD and we will continue to keep our sites linked so all you readers can find all the fiction you can!

I would also like to thank Celine and Singer for all your hard work in making this new site what it is today! Without Celine's Ramblings where would we all be ;) And without Singers Talented artwork.. well let me just say my T-shirt at the con was a HUGE success and I know you all will be looking forward to more of her artwork! This is a great team and I am proud to be a part of this site!

Special Thanks to Calli, Blaize, Michelle, Rhonda, Juliet and Peggy Lu for all their help with artwork, reporting and special project work making Beyond Uber an up to date and beautiful place to visit!

Thank you to all the loyal readers and fan fiction Nutballs that have made Beyond Uber a place to find fiction and given us an audience that will allow us to grow with you!

And finally a heartfelt thank you to ALL you wonderfully talented Bards who write these great stories and allow us to share them with the world and Webmasters who give their time and site space to house these wonderful works! We look forward to working with you on the new site!! Thank you for keeping us up to date with your latest additions as well!!

I open to all of you if you have ideas, suggestions or time and talent you would like to give for our new site to come forward and be heard, we hope to make Beyond Uber a site that will give you all the fiction your hearts and eyes can stand ;)

We look forward to your visits to our new site.. sit back and make yourself comfortable this is going to be another great year of fiction and fun!

For those who will be in Pasadena...we will be showing him off there starting Friday <g>. Big thanks out to Ruth and Cadryn for handling the list while I was recovering.

But not before we leave some treats behind for those unable to travel to Pasadena for the Xena Con. There are five great stories here -- all but one of them quite long, all finished and all well worth your time and attention. So pour yourself a tall cool one, settle back in a comfortable chair, and enjoy the talents and craftsmanship of Advocate and T. Novan, Anima, Kamouraskan, Shadowriter, and Temora. You'll be glad you did.
