Xena Fan Fiction - Classic

  • Nightmares (Alt / Classic) by Reni
    Gabrielle is plagued with nightmares that seem to be sucking the life force out of her. She seems  to accept the desolation, because she still has post traumatic stress after the deaths of Solon and Hope. But Xena fears for the health and even the life of her bard.

Xena Fanfic - The Bard's Corner

Heads up! I've got some Bardly news - a new bard, a new story AND a XIPPY Award Winner! How's that for the trifecta! I would like to welcome Reni, a new bard and her first story:

The Healing Waters and the Forgotten Scrolls (Alt / Classic) http://ausxip.com/fanfiction/reni/thehealingwaters.htm

For a first time bard (and old hand bards), this is an EXCEPTIONAL short story. I was SO impressed that I gave it a XIPPY Award!

Go read! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Happy Anniversary, Gabrielle & Happy Anniversary, Xena by LJ Maas
This is two stories by LJ Maas about Xena and Gabrielle wanting to give each other something special for their anniversary.

  • Happy Anniversary, Gabrielle
    This clever first time tale opens with the warrior already married to a very pregnant bard and planning a unique anniversary present for her beloved. Aware of some special herbs that can help synchronize the dreams of individuals, Xena secretly sends them both into a dreamscape where they find themselves reliving the moment years before where Xena stupidly allowed another to take her bard from her robing them both of the opportunity to share a very special first time together. It's a mistake the warrior is determined not to repeat again. This is a rather "convenient" story but also a very romantic, entertaining one that will have you feeling quite sympathetic for the Warrior Princess.

  • Happy Anniversary, Xena
    In a rather amusing follow-up to HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, GABRIELLE, an excited bard looks forward to returning the favor her beautiful warrior did for her recently but things don't work out quite as planned leaving a frustrated Gabrielle trapped in a dreamscape where her own situation is not quite what she hoped, there's some intimidating competition for the affections of her beloved, and perhaps most challenging of all - there's the hormones of a sixteen year old Xena to deal with ;-) L.J. combines some very funny moments here with some rather poignant ones as we catch a glimpse of pre-warlord Xena and follow Gabrielle's efforts at somehow salvaging her "anniversary plans" ;-) Very cute. - 26 pgs., 6/15/00 http://ausxip.com/fanfic9/anniversary_xena.html

Xena Fanfic - Audio Versions

  • Added the audio version of "A Once and Future Journey" by Temora.
    Audio produced by Bongo Bear & The Virgin Podcasters.
    It's a Post Fin Fic Story and it was given a XIPPY Award on 27 June 2001.
    This story is set after the events of FIN #2 - Xena has died and Gabrielle has sailed off to right wrongs. She is befriended by a young woman who tells her "you can't leave me here. You've got to take me with you. Teach me everything you know. I could be very useful to you…" A beautifully written story of Gabrielle alone but with her soulmate.

Xena News...

  • Xena Copyright: A federal court in New York ruled against a blogger (who was being paid $ for his blog) in his suit seeking a declaratory judgment stating that he could use a photo of Lucy Lawless from "Xena: Warrior Princess" under the fair use doctrine. He was fined for $750 (got off lightly). Universal has for 25 years allowed Xena fans to get away with gross copyright violations - they allowed us to create with complete freedom and the only caveat was we couldn't make a profit/sell our work because it was copyrighted. This is different to what the blogger did but it's basically in the same wheelhouse. Universal came down on a handful of fans who broke the rules but generally Universal allowed us complete freedom. So. If you are going to make money, it's best to license the images from Universal/NBC and be confidant you won't be hauled into a court. You may not get away with just a $750 fine like the blogger did. Check out the ruling here

Xena Fanfic - XIPPY Reviews

  • Friend In Need - Part 3 by T. Novan
    T. Novan finishes what Rob Tapert should have done (but didn't). This is how FIN should have ended. Gabrielle seeks to get Xena back and is willing to pay the ultimate price to do it, will Xena let her? This also features Xena and Gabrielle's descendants.
    http://ausxip.com/tnovan/fin3.html
  • Gabrielle and Xena (Deceased) by Mark Annetts
    I thoroughly enjoyed reading this Post FIN Fic story. It picks up from the time Gabrielle leaves Japa with Xena's ashes and takes them back home to Amphipolis. Armed with sacred scrolls and rituals to bring Xena back, it somehow doesn't happen the way she wanted and Xena is back on earth as a ghost. Enlisting the help of gods and former enemies is going to be tricky! Well written story.

Xena Fanfic - XIPPY Reviews

  • Finding Peace by Murphy
    This is a wonderful story set after the events of Ides of March where Gabrielle is feeling guilty about the men she has killed to save Xena. An old friend soon helps her realize a very important point.
    http://www.academyofbards.org/fanfic/m/murphy_findingpeace.html 
  • Foolish Notions by Kamouraskan
    Set in the aftermath of Amphipolis Under Siege - Gabrielle gets the attention of the citizens of Amphipolis. A very moving short story and proves once again that although Gabrielle is now a warrior she can also be a bard and a support to her warrior.

  • Batwoman Recap: Everything You Missed in "Do Not Resuscitate"
    From the jump, Season 2 of The CW's Batwoman has been defying expectations in some significant ways. As the series has introduced an entirely new character, Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie), the narrative has had an opportunity to completely reinterpret the world of Gotham City. Tonight's episode undeniably took that mindset into an entirely new direction, with a storyline that will definitely impact Ryan in the episodes to come...
  • Batwoman: "It's Best You Stop Digging" Preview Released
    The episode is expected to see Ryan debating whether or not to follow Batwoman's "no killing" code, as it directly comes into conflict with whether or not she can avenge her mother.
