  • Fan/reader comments -

    On The High Cliff by B. S. Raven (alternative, Über, 18 Pages)
        Brilliantly written, with unexpected turns and twists, depicting a wonderful eternal love story. Loved the ending. Great first effort. - Linda Dec 31st, 2002
    On The High Cliff by B. S. Raven (alternative, Über, 18 Pages)
        Excellent, well written love story! The descriptions were so vivid, and you could almost feel the whipping wind, and the eternal love between the main characters. I was trilled by the unexplained turn of events, and felt a deep tug in my heart with the ending. If this is your first effort, I can hardly wait for your next story. - Kay Dec 31st, 2002
    Queen of My Country, Queen of My Heart by Alex Tryst (alternative, Über, 86 Pages)
        A good concept with well written, believable characters up until the last part. I just couldn't see where the falling in love happened and how it was so strong as transcend barriers as we know them. Needs to be fleshed out more in that respect but it is still an enjoyable read. - Kay Dec 31st, 2002
    Look Out (The) by Ri (alternative, Über, 2 Pages)
        This is a really nice story, I enjoyed the charachter study:) - Kiki Dec 31st, 2002
    It's All In The Playing Of The Game by Ri (alternative, Über, 31 Pages)
        This is even better then 'A League of Their Own.' I loved it. I would love more on this wonderful couple and fascinating period. - Anonymous Dec 31st, 2002
    Shadow of the Soul by Melissa Good (alternative, Pages)
        Missy gives us The Conquer in her own style and it is a joy to read. - Daydreams Dec 31st, 2002
    Dark Comes The Morning by Melissa Good (alternative, 300+ Pages)
        Outstanding plot, charactors, so much in this story it is unbelievable and so well put together. Classic Xena at its best. If you enjoy romance, Amazons, battles, Warlords, and one cute Baby to add to the fun this is the story for you. - Daydreams Dec 31st, 2002
    Champion by Melissa Good (alternative, 150+ Pages)
        One of the first Author stories I ever read when joining the Net was a Missy Good story. A wonderful writer Missy brings warmth, love, adventure, Evil and true love into all her stories. Whether it be Classic Xena and Gabrielle to her Uber adventures Missy shines. If you read one thing this New Years Eve read this ladys work.

    You will not be disappointed. - Daydreams Dec 31st, 2002
    Silence Of Love by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon) (alternative, Über, 151 Pages)
        Despite the negative comments i have read, I found this to be a wonderful, touching, and all around well written tale. No! It is not "Destiny" [which I dearly love], but it stands on its own merits. No story or author will please all folks all the time. Read this one and deceide for yourself. It is well worth the effort. The "Dragon" has woven a tale well worth reading. - Belle A. Pellegrino Dec 30th, 2002
    Lesser Evil (The) by P. Wilson (alternative, 150 Pages)
        Hey, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed both of your stories.. 'A Simple Matter of Trust' and 'The Lesser Evil'. They were wonderful. I loved the way you developed your characters, and especially the tenderness between Xena and Gabrielle. I also want to let you know that your use of lyrics in Lesser Evil was fantastic. And on top of that, your poetry is excellent! You're an all around wonderful bard! I really hope to see more of you. Take care and don't sprain anything while typing out your next story. :o) - Lynne Dec 30th, 2002
    A Day In The Daycare by Taleweaver (alternative, 2 Pages)
        I really liked this story about Xena and Gabrielle meeting as children in the daycare. The characterizations are dead on, and it's just sweet. I'll bookmark it for when I need a quick pick-me-up. - Anonymous Dec 30th, 2002
    Chase the Storm by Larisa (alternative, Über, 67 Pages)
        From the other comments, I expected to find this story witty, but I'm afraid I didn't. Much of the "humor" consists of characters yelling at each other in situations that seem contrived even by fan fiction standards. The secondary characters are too cutesy, the bad guys are one-dimensional, and there's not much effort at realistic dialogue. Guess my sense of humor is more of the Creme Brulee type. - Anonymous Dec 30th, 2002
    Blaze (The) by ArdentTly (alternative, 30 Pages)
        I've been a fan of this bard for a long time. In my opinion, her writing is under-valued, underestimated and not widely enough read. That should change. The Blaze is a fine piece of writing, well crafted and tended to with all of ArdentTly's skill, and her special touch. Hurrah for ArdentTly! - Taleweaver Dec 30th, 2002
    Deja Vu All Over Again by Ella Quince (alternative, 7 Pages)
        Intereting, and an enjoyable read. - Betty Dec 30th, 2002
    Sex, Wives, and Misunderstandings by Ali Vali (alternative, Über, 34 Pages)
        Ali is one of my favorite authors! It was great to imagine there being a female Ramses (Pharaoh)... Can't wait to read more of her work! - Katia N. Ruiz Dec 30th, 2002

  • Fan/reader comments -

    Silence Of Love by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon) (alternative, Über, 25 Pages)
        Every once in a while, a writer finds it within themselves to write something a bit different, like a rock musician must write a song of love after many, many hard-hitting and fast-paced hits…this is what MJ Dragon had done. This is not 'Define Destiny' or like many of her other works that presents strong characters and defined archetypes…in this tale, it is the unexpected characters you cannot truly define into an Uber mold that make it special and memorable. So no, this is NOT your usual Dragonjules tale…this is BETTER! This tale shows a seasoned writer that has broken her own mold and written a sweet timeless love story that stands out against all the others you’ve come to expect from this author. Read it and you decide – but don’t expect to find all of the ingredients you have seen before…the flavoring in this is much more exotic and yet subtle. You’ll LOVE the taste!! - WebWarrior Dec 30th, 2002
    Define Destiny by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon) (alternative, Über, 260 Pages)
        Beautiful, just beautiful. Great story. - Jim Dec 30th, 2002
    Discovery by Rooks (alternative, Über, 76 Pages)
        Just read this story for the first time. Good characterization, an good story line. I liked it. - Linda Dec 30th, 2002
    Agent (The) by C. Paradee (alternative, Über, 118 Pages)
        I don't usually read uber, but something intrigued me and I'm so glad I did! Very believable, and with the 'Xena/Gabrielle' characters drawn in a way that made them fresh, while still relying on the old behaviors we've all come to know and love. Exciting, tender, and all I can is: I want more! Thanks, C. Pardee, for a great read. - r.d.elliott Dec 29th, 2002
    Silence Of Love by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon) (alternative, Über, 25 Pages)
        You can count me as one who really enjoyed Silence of Love! Don’t pay attention to all of the negative comments, go read it for yourself and I think you’ll agree with me! - Angel M Dec 29th, 2002
    Silence Of Love by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon) (alternative, Über, 25 Pages)
        Anticipation is 90 percent of the story. Guess I anticipated too much in this one. Sorry. - L. Pierce Dec 29th, 2002
    In Pursuit of Dreams by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon) (alternative, Über, 250 Pages)
        Love these characters and really enjoyed their union story. Probably the best of the three so far, but I love the tenderness. - Linda Dec 29th, 2002
    Silence Of Love by JM Dragon (alternative, Über, 125 Pages)
        This is not your 'average' JMDragon story! It is a tale of two meant to be together meeting in improbable circumstances and lots of angst odds, which is JM's normal, but it never quite reaches her excellent writing abilities. A nice beginning that didn't quite make it. Not one of her's that I'd read again. But, that's just my opinion. - Sam Dec 29th, 2002
    Christmas Carol With a Difference (A) by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon) (alternative, Über, 17 Pages)
        Love the characters, loved this story. Could have been a little longer, but great update on the Destiny series. - Kimberly Dec 29th, 2002
    Queen of My Country, Queen of My Heart by Alex Tryst (alternative, Über, 86 Pages)
        The author warns us that this is a multi-hanky story but sorry, I didn't shed a single tear. The ending seems rushed and written more to get the story finished than to actually 'complete' the story. - Anonymous Dec 29th, 2002

    Chase the Storm by Larisa (alternative, Über, 67 Pages)
        I recently discovered Larisa's work and then read "Chase the Storm". I gotta tell you if you haven't already checked out Larisa's stories, run....don't walk. Almost each and every story will make you laugh and hate to see the story end. Larisa writes in such a way that you feel that you are watching the story take place on the screen. Great work... thanks Larisa! - JO Dec 27th, 2002

    A Simple Matter Of Trust by P. Wilson
    Drama / Lesbian [Novella / 125 pgs / Finished / Dec-02]
        Xena is reunited with an old friend from the past, a stranger to Gabrielle, whose close ties to Xena provide a wonderful catalyst for the bard to examine her relationship with the warrior princess. The reunion leads them on a dangerous and revealing path into Xena's past. We also meet a shadowy new dark goddess whose influence has a far reaching effect on the lives of both Xena and Gabrielle. The story itself moves between humor, angst, action, betrayal, loyalty, and, above all else, friendship and love. (4 Stars) - Reviewed Dec 23, 2002
    The Lesser Evil by P. Wilson
    Drama / Lesbian [Novel / 150 pgs / Finished / Dec-02]

A mysterious new presence in their lives, as well as shadowy dark forces from the past, edge Xena and Gabrielle into a desperate struggle to maintain and protect all that they hold dear, including each other. Past and present intertwine, shedding new light on a number of haunting and troubling mysteries, and placing them directly beneath the shadow of the cross in their future. This story, as did it's predecessor, moves between humor, action, drama, despair and foremost, it is a journey of love, loyalty and true friendship. (4 Stars) - Reviewed Dec 23, 2002

  • Fan/reader comments -

    Silence Of Love by JM Dragon (alternative, Über, 125 Pages)
        After discovering what is causing a problem, a writer has to find the courage to make changes for, the truth "may set one free," but in this case, it didn't, and this Dragon continued on for writing not up to her normal, and falls short in many ways. But, when someone downs a writer's works, the normal thing is to read it for yourself to find out why the bad review. So, in placing a poor review of this story will only make everyone read it more. But, in my opinion,this is the poorest story she has ever written. This certainly is not a 5 star story as the scrolls has rated it. - nyoclli Dec 26th, 2002
    Emotional Paralysis by Larisa (alternative, Über, 52 Pages)
        It sounds pretty boring from what it tells us little about the story, especially a cripple of "you know who" BUT MY GOSH! It's totally HILARIOUS!!! A very good story to read, even though the start of the story isn't very attractive. Recommended!! - Chen Dec 26th, 2002
    October by Day (alternative, Über, 150+ Pages)
        Wow! This story is wonderful!!!! The characters Terri, a teenage and
    Sarah, a more old sophisticated and sexy woman, have a relationship
    tumultuous, hot, passionate, to writer with rare talent and preciosity.

    Noemi by Katia N. Ruiz (alternative, 97 Pages)
        This is the 2nd story I've read by this talented bard and it's a great story with just the right mix of drama, angst and love. I love a story with well written secondary characters and this author has done that and more with "Noemi." Well written and well done. - Kay Dec 26th, 2002
    Silence Of Love by JM Dragon (alternative, Über, 125 Pages)
        JM usually has the strongest characters in her stories and IT USUSALLY WORKS!However, this one didn't. - Milen Dec 26th, 2002
    Dangerous Truth (The) by Curiositee (alternative, Über, 110 Pages)
        Great writing. Excellent story that kept my interest from begining to end, and I didn't want to put it down. - Betty Dec 26th, 2002
    Silence Of Love by JM Dragon (alternative, Über, 125 Pages)
        I did not find this was written in JMDragon's usual good form. It lacked punch, and her usual zip was missing. It was almost as if she was attempting to elevate her characters into real life ones, and left out any real essence in the story. I was dissappointed. - Paula Dec 26th, 2002
    Haunting Shadows by Dragonjuls (JM Dragon) (alternative, Über, 260 Pages)
        Excellent second portion. Love the unity found here. Am a new reader, so this is really great. Can't wait to read the rest of the series. - Kitty Dec 26th, 2002
    Silence Of Love by JM Dragon (alternative, Über, 125 Pages)
        This time JM just didn't hit the mark. Her usual excellent writing fell short on this one, and contrary to other comments, this is the worst story I have read of this fine writer. It simply doesn't have her previous quality. - Linda Dec 26th, 2002

    Diaries, Book One by Nelliyah Wood (alternative, 24 Pages)
        I've just gotten through and it's impossible to say one word. It's first, but it's good. Well, maybe it could be more erotically depictive. I wonder how talented the author is in that domene. Generally - it depends on how well you read it. Definitely one-time story, for me. Don't know what else... - adrienne Dec 26th, 2002
    Sweet Surrender (A) by Katia N. Ruiz (alternative, Über, 54 Pages)
        On the recommendation of a friend I read "Sweet Surrender". I can tell this is one bard with major talent (in fact if time permits today I'm dying to read more of her works) but, for me anyway, it has one glaring faux pas. This very promising story falls victim to the "Invincible Dyke Syndrome", you know the woman who can have amazingly, fantastic, sex while: sick, injured, hurt but still on the living side of death's door or still recuperating from the aforementioned senarios. I also pegged the wrong character as the "surrenderer"...but I wouldn't mind having that libido for a day. - Kay Dec 25th, 2002
    Chase the Storm by Larisa (alternative, Über, 67 Pages)
        LOVED IT! LOVED IT!..Larisa has done it again ! I thought Day Walker made me laugh,boy was I wrong! Another great story from my favorite bard,if you haven't checked out her stories yet...shame on you! they're great!..Can't wait for more new stories.(hint,hint). :) - jbamazon Dec 24th, 2002

    Outcome by Kim Pritekel & Alexa Hoffman (alternative, Über, 29 Pages)
        I'm looking forward to the continuation of another well written romantic fiction from this collaboration of Kim and Alexa. It's as though they've stepped back from college in setting this new story. Their last work, "Lessons", was set in college. It was a powerfully emotional tale, as are Kim's solo pieces, notably, "First", and "Again", both involving older characters having dialogues with their memories. Judging from the first 2 chapters, and their past writing, "Outcome" will be a very good read. - Phantom Bard Dec 24th, 2002
    Alternative To Uber by Chelle (alternative, Über, 16 Pages)
        Certainly one of the most unusual pieces I've read in a while. Chelle's story, "Alternative To Uber", works on several levels. It's an entertaining fantasy, an experiment in netfiction presentation, and a satirical commentary on the alt/uber genre. Enjoy it as you will. It's Mary Sue dragged down the rabbit-hole to find an increasingly bizarre world that somehow feels more and more comfortable. I really can't recall anything like it. - Phantom Bard Dec 24th, 2002

    Kara's Moon by Gerri Hill (alternative, Über, 113 Pages)
        I read this story in one sitting. The characters just hooked me so that even tired I didn't put it down until I finished.  For some reason I get the impression that some of the author is in the Ginny character and that may be why she was so real and natural to me.  I think many of us have had to come to ourselves slowly and with a bit of subconscious prodding and Ms Hill really did capture that dilemma in Ginny.  Then of course Kara too has a very real and natural emotional response to the situation and the entire story just flows and is compelling.  I was especially pleased with the way the art was so beautifully described. I too can see the color in Ginny’s Lake. - jen Dec 20th, 2002
    Ghost (The) by Ri (alternative, Über, 50 Pages)
        This was a unique story. Who would think that a phantom-of-the-office-building story could work so well? An entertaining read that was a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing this, Ri. - Taleweaver Dec 20th, 2002

    Silence Of Love by JM Dragon (alternative, Über, 125 Pages)
        Once again JMDragon has created truly memorable characters. I was hooked from the onset and can't wait to read how it all gets resolved. JM is truly a craftswoman when it comes to creating and maintaining angst. Her written words are pure joy to read. I always look forward to the new adventures she takes me on. - Kay Dec 11th, 2002

    Day Walker by Larisa (alternative, Über, 55 Pages)
        I've come to the conclusion that Larisa should be certified as a nut case. She has the strangest characters in her stories and IT WORKS! I love the little ones Sprout and Lia! She may have been MIA for a while but she came back with a WINNER! I laughed until I couldn't breathe, keep up the great work. - Dancer Dec 10th, 2002
    Fire Within by Anita Louise (alternative, Über, 15 Pages)
        This story has it all: action, comedy, drama, a little heartache, a lot of romance, and a mystery that has me pointing fingers at a half-dozen characters. This is another great story from the talented and popular author, Anita Louise. Do not miss this one! - Kimin Dec 10th, 2002
    Silence Of Love by JM Dragon (alternative, Über, 125 Pages)
        What a wonderful story. JMDragon has really blended angst/love/hurt into a highly realistic tale. I highly recommend this to all who believe that love sometimes needs to be fought for and worth the fight. - Chris L. Dec 9th, 2002

        This story and it's prequel The Nearest Distant Shore are absolutely fabulous.

These stories are a wonderful mix of mystery, suspense, and romance. I loved it and hope that other's will check it out. - Kel Dec 6th, 2002

    Day Walker by Larisa (alternative, Über, 55 Pages)
        Since Larisa hasn't written in a while, she has definately came out with something worth the wait. A DAMNED good story if I say so myself. One that I actually have read twice. The characters are so funny and every bit as perverted as the ones in her other stories. Good reading and recommend it to anyone who needs a good laugh. Good job Larisa and keep up the good work!! ^_^ - Anonymous Dec 4th, 2002
