January 28th, 2010We would like to welcome a new bard at the Academy, Bardbaric A Bard's Fury by Bardbaric [Classic/Alt/Complete] Added Part 3 of The Chosen Path by Adam Allison [Classic/Alt/Incomplete] January 27th, 2010Going Home by The Guardian [Classic/Alt/Complete] January 26th, 2010Added Part 2 of The Chosen Path by Adam Allison [Classic/Alt/Incomplete] January 25th, 2010Added Part 1 of The Chosen Path by Adam Allison [Classic/Alt/Incomplete] January 24th, 2010A Winter's Tale by Barbara Davies [Über/Alt/Complete] January 22nd, 2010 Tonight on FemSlash4Fans Radio: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine/2010/01/22/xena-warrior-princess On a special two-hour episode of Femslash4Fans Radio, I'll be talking about quite possibly the oldest, biggest femslash fandom to still rule the Internet today, the one fandom you CAN'T leave out of the discussion. "Xena: Warrior Princess" was more than just a hit spinoff from "Hercules: the Legendary Journeys", one of the highest-rated shows in syndication during its six-year run. It also spawned an enormous fan base in the lesbian community with its two female leads, Xena and Gabrielle; their extremely close relationship; and the "are-they-or-aren't-they" vibe that writers teased audiences with throughout. Did I say vibe? By the later seasons it was practically a NEON SIGN. The writers were clearly aware of what the fans were saying, and rather than freak out and slap them down, the staff clearly played to a point just short of their expectations. Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor have made contributions to the fandom beyond their acting as well. There's also the impact the fandom had on the fanfic genre in general. Terms like "altfic", "uberfic" and "femslash" were basically a direct result of Xena/Gabrielle fans. For that reason, I've expanded the show by a full sixty minutes. Well, that and the fact that my guests are three of the longest, most successful, most prolific writers in the fandom, all of whom went on to become published authors in their own right. Tonight's show will feature Melissa Good, author of the "Journey of Soulmates" series and the "Tropical Storm" fics deaturing Dar/Kerry; KG MacGregor, creator of uberfic pairings like Anna/Lily Announcement From Erin O'Reilly January 20th, 2010Announcement From Mavis Applewater Saturday, February 6, 2010 January 18th, 2010The Academy would like to welcome a new Bard, The Guardian Guardian by The Guardian [Classic/Alt/Complete] January 17th, 2010Two announcements from Claudia Wilde Carlisle Crowley is a striking, beautiful vampire hell-bent on living her undead life to the fullest.
