Today is a sad day in the Xenaverse...the show is wrapping
up. They will be finishing filming the final episode in Auckland. To all the cast and crew
and in particular, Lucy and Renee, thank you for giving us such a great show to watch.
It's been an amazing run and I will miss it greatly. This fandom is incredible and even
though we all have differing views, when it mattered the most (ie The Way protest) we all
came together in one big collective group. Whether you believed in the subtext, are an
Ares/Xena fan, a Gabrielle/Joxer fan or you just loved this show because of two women who
battled the baddies, it all boils down to this - We are Xenites and this show ROCKS!
We have 7 more episodes to go before Xena does her war cry
for the final time. Let's enjoy them because I doubt we will see a show like this again
with two lead actors that were made for the roles.
Thank you Lucy, Renee, Rob Tapert, RJ Stewart and all the
people who worked so hard to bring this show to our screens.

- The following is from Mist at Sword and Staff. The latest S&S auction is up on the website at http://sword-and-staff.com/auction.htm There is a good mix of autographed and non-autographed
merchandise, including a number of fan fiction items and some very unusual art. All
proceeds from this event will go to benefit the Rainforest Preservation Foundation. To
date we have saved over 483 acres of Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, and this auction should
easily put us over the 500 acre mark. Last month's auction was very successful, and as a
result of our efforts, at least 7 children will be able to spend a week at Camp Sundown, a
camp that is run in the night time hours so that children suffering from Xeroderma can
enjoy the camp experience. Thanks to all those who participated in that event.
Sword and Staff is a fan run organization. It has no affiliation with Universal Studios,
StudiosUSA, Creation Entertainment, Fandom.com, Renaissance Pictures, Lucy Lawless, Renee
O'Connor, or any other person or entity associated with the television show Xena:Warrior
Princess.
- The wholesale deletion of sites from Tripod is now getting
some attention from online news sites. Added a link to the article Massacre at Tripod
from Salon.com which might explain why Tripod acted the way it did.
- UK Xena News
It doesn't look at all well for UK Xena fans. Due to falling ratings the show has
been taken off prime time and will not be returning on March 20 as planned. Season 4 will
NOT resume. Poor ratings in Australia saw the show relegated to early early mornings until
they finished with Season 5. The Brits won't even have that luxury. If the station doesn't
put the show on a reasonable hour, how the heck can it get ratings of any kind if someone
doesn't know when to tune in?!

any rhyme nor reason for this action - it's not based on whether sites have subtext or
nonsubbers - it affects everyone and it has also affect Buffy sites. Hopefully soon
someone will reveal why Tripod has decided to take this action.

- The $175,000 raised in response to public concern about child
abuse last year is sitting idle because the Government and local backers cannot agree on
its use. The money collected by the Safe and Sound Appeal, featuring Lucy Lawless, star of

I don't usually do this with a story but I'm going to - just
this once because one of my best buddies T. Novan just made me cry. This is an excerpt
from her last installment of the Truth Series
- "Friendships had been formed. Relationships had been
started. The Muses had been inspired once again. Hundreds of thousands of people had found
a common bond. Even if they couldn’t agree what side of the subtext fence to stand
on, at least they all agreed they loved the show, and over the course of the last few
years they had come to nearly worship the leads."
Excerpt from The Truth and Nothing But the
Truth - Part 7 (Final) by T. Novan
I've been trying NOT to think about the end of the show I
love but this story brought it home that there are only 7 more episodes to go.

Restitution will be available online soon.
13 March
I don't usually do this but I'm going to post an
email I received this morning - it amused me so much I'm going to share :-)
First, Xena and Gabrielle were around long before
MCA/Universal stole the characters, so MCA/Universal have no copyrights in them
whatsoever. The ancient Greeks invented them, not the writers of Xena. The same goes for
Hercules, who proper name was Oddesseus. Both MCA and Universal were good at two things
during their foundings: Monopoly (Motion Pictures Patents Association) and theft (Bell
stole the phone design from his future father-in-law, Edison was just a plain thief who
stole from anyone he could hire, with his work for hire patent agreements, and even the
Patent Office has overturned Marconi's patent of the radio and granted it to the true
inventor, Tesla.) So, you see, MCA/Universal has no rights in Zena because like their
founding father MCA/Universal is just another Hollywood/New York gang of thieves and
hoodlums.
Many thanks to the person who sent me this - it gave me a
good belly laugh.

 And now onto some great news. It was announced
today that Susanne M. Beck's (aka Sword n Quill) new novel "Retribution" will be
available in Pasadena from Renaissance Alliance Publishing!
The following is from Cathy LeNoir, the CEO of RAP
It is my very great pleasure to announce that several
months ago Renaissance Alliance Publishing, Inc. acquired the rights to the stories
Retribution and Restitution by Susanne Beck. At Sue's request, we did not make this
information public at that time. She has today granted us permission to make this
announcement.
Synopses:
Retribution -
Retribution is a story with action, drama, suspense…and too
many emotions to list. Told by Angel herself, it will let you see into her very soul. This
sequel to Redemption details the lives of Ice and Angel as they cross over the border and
try to make new lives in a small vacation town in Canada. They meet both friends and
enemies along the way and their love for one another grows and deepens. But obviously, as
a fugitive from justice, danger is always only one step away for Ice. The man who fixed it
so that she was sent to jail for a crime he committed is out to get her again. Several of
his cronies manage to find her, and she trades her life for Angel's and is dragged away.
Can she save herself and find her way back to Angel and happiness?
Restitution -
Picking up three months after Retribution left off, this is the
story of how Ice finally makes full restitution for her crimes by agreeing to a plea
bargain set up by a secret justice probe. The authorities are out to get the man who's
almost twice killed Ice (and who is in possession of some secrets which could topple a
state government if he's caught). She only agrees to the plea because if she doesn't,
Angel will be incarcerated for harboring a fugitive, and Ice will not let that happen.
More information can be found on our web site at www.rapbooks.com/authors.html as it
becomes available. Both of these books will be published under the RAP imprint.
It is also my pleasure to announce that we are now taking pre
publication orders for Retribution. We will be taking pre orders for a VERY limited time,
so get yours in now. Furthermore, Retribution is currently at the printer and it will be
available in time to get the author's autograph at the Pasadena convention in May.
