| This was the first Larisa story I read. I was pretty sick last week so I re read this story and it made me feel much better. It is a fascinating story of tragedy and triumph with a nice twist at the end. One of earlest and still one of my faves:) - Ri Dec 31st, 2003 |
| Very odd story. Got me a little lost by reading it. - Bay Dec 30th, 2003 |

Love By Life….By Red Hope I really enjoyed this story. The emotions could be felt as Starr drove down that road. The anticipation of crossing a spot in the road that was never crossed by a loved one. I personally have done that. Wish when I did cross that path it ended as this great story did. Love is a very strong emotion. In fact it is the strongest one in my book. It can make you give someone the world or in this case bring back someone lost. I highly recommend this story for anyone to read. - Anonymous Dec 30th, 2003 |
| Seeing this posted makes it even more special. TY for keepin the series going for little ole me! Even if its nothing more then a fairytail such as this, its wonderful to see such passion, I look forward to some Teddy Grahams an a glass of milk soon! Again TY for keeping this going.

| This is a intensely moving story. A.K. Naten really brings her characters to life and we really feel their pain and their joy. It is a great story and a must read. - Charles Dec 29th, 2003 |
| I loved this story. Very short, but a good one. This story show me that we all have to realized that true love might be under our nose. It's a very touching story of Xena and Gabrielle - Bay Dec 29th, 2003 |

Well #2 another winner. I love these characters. Makes you kind wonder if someone isn't with you setting up certain obstacles for you to be where you need to be at a certain time. Just so you can meet a person who will change your life forever...bad or good.....I like the for good reasons myself....cannot wait to see what happens next with the ladies...so you better hurry up!! - T. Stratton Dec 26th, 2003 |
| Deb, Thank You for this wonderful Love Story, It was truely refreshing and enlightning that it, life, all comes down to that most presious word, LOVE! Without that I think we have nothing. Your story shows us that we can all have hope, and believe that good things can happen and Love can sometimes be right around the corner, or under our noses, if we only take the time to look, dream and just believe, it can happen. Thank You for you insperation that love and life can go on, even when your not looking or prepared. Very good reading! - sunnykrh Dec 25th, 2003 |
| I am so happy to see this on the top 25 again. This is a wonderful story that should not be missed. I realize that the length of it as well as the fact that it is still a 'work in progress' may hinder some from reading 'Fate' but I have one thing to say to those that may be waiting in the wings....READ THIS STORY. It is one of the best I have ever read. - Jerri Dec 25th, 2003 |

What an excellent story. This is part two of Tango's "The Outsiders" which nevertheless can be read as a story on its own. It takes a different look at the main aspects of X:WP's season 5, drawing out the characters of Xena, Gabrielle, Livia and Ares quite perfectly, while developing a fascinating story which makes far more sense than the s5 we were presented with! I thoroughly recommend it to every Xena fan. - Carly Dec 25th, 2003 |
| If this were only what real life was like no one would ever hurt or feel sorrow again with just a few tiny snow flakes....TY for keeping romance alive even if it is only a fairytale,you did very well and I look forward to more of this soon...these ghosts have become part of me and I cant begin to express the joy I get when I know your working on a another one to add to the very first one! TY again for sharing this with me before anyone got to see it! - Wizzy, your favorite Brat Dec 23rd, 2003 |
| Oooh. CreepyXena Plus steaminess! Nicely done! - Alicia Dec 23rd, 2003 |

C'mon...open it up and see what's inside...you'll be glad you did, promise!!! Merry Christmas and the very best to all for the New Year!!! - Michelle Dec 23rd, 2003 |

I look forward to more each week from you! Thank you for trusting yourself an my words that "you are THAT good!" - Brat Dec 20th, 2003 |
| Short but very sweet. It had two of my favorite elements - time travel and a couple that looks like a certain blonde and dark haired woman that I know and love. I only wish that the part with Drew and Cameron was slowed down and expanded a bit. In any case, I'm glad that I read it. - Gabsfan Dec 19th, 2003 |

| This wonderful story takes some of the elements of X:WP's fifth season and weaves them into a new and exciting tale, capturing the true spirit of the show. Excellent! - LadyKate Dec 17th, 2003 |
| Again, Shadylady must have looked into my heart and seen the pain that was buried there. I agree, well written and touching. - Anonymous Dec 16th, 2003 |
| Very good story just as I would expect out of SL since I have been reading all her stories. Very entertaining. - Anonymous Dec 16th, 2003 |
| It is so hard to believe that you could create a totally febricated story while strictly adhearing to the Xena cannon of episodes so presicely. This story was so Xena episode style and Gabrielle was sooo in character that had this been submitted in script format for the series to close Gabrielle's storyline on the show, this definitely would've been accepted!!! The circumstances Gabrielle faces never seems out of character and you effectively captured the essence of her spiritual search and growth in this story as it is portrayed on the series. This is my favorite Xena fanfic ever because it gives a closure to Gabrielle's character that would be expected to come out of the Xena cannon. - Mark Dec 16th, 2003 |
| I had a wonderful time reading "The Temptation of Eve" because I am a born again Christian, good job on the Biblical aspects by the way, and because Eve is my 4th favorite Xena character. Xena, Gabrielle, and Callisto being the first 3. This story, like all of your Xena fanfics, was done really well. I found Eve to be in character and your knowledge of kabbalic principles is impressive. The circumstances of the story matches a predicament that Eve would definiately find herself in. I was astonished by the drama Eve faced as her temptations of darkness grew and how skillfully you crafted the balance of the darkness and light within her without having her appear to be double-minded, which the Bible clearly condemns. I enjoyed reading this story so much that I'm printing out copies for my mother and my god-sister to read because they love anything Bible related. When you began talking about the parralells between our universe and the Xenaverse, it struck me as funny because "The Temptation of Eve" parralells with my 2-part Eve pilot script. Both stories are about Eve finding a balance between the way of love and the way of the warrior. For future referrence if you ever plan to write another Eve story, read the book of James in the New Testament. Its a very short book that's 4 to 5 pages in most Bibles and gives Christians guidelines to properly following the faith. That's what I'm using to explain Elisian principles in my script. Actually, I'm using the book of James in the New Testament and the book of Leviticus in the Old Testament to make it sound like a crossroad religion between Judaism and Christianity. Once again, great story. - Mark Dec 16th, 2003 |
| The revisions you made to the clonefic were very good but very few. Its mostly the same story that I first read 2 months ago. But the beginning was done very good because it will grab the readers attention immediately cuz the lab wasn't as neatly packaged as it was shown on tv. The Xena and Gabrielle in your clonefic story seemed more real as historical figures and real warriors than the fantasy warriors they portrayed on the show so I especially enjoyed that part. The story was great and the revisions made it better. Could've used a few fight scenes, LOL. I have one question, the historical claims the clones were telling Ray about? Were Ray's historical claims made up by you or were the clones historical claims made up by you? Since I don't know too much about the period they were talking about, I don't know whose claims were made up by you the author, and which claims are really historical fact. Either way, great story. - Mark Dec 16th, 2003 |
| What a well written story. Thank you Shady for the insight into these characters lives. It is a true pleasure every time I open a new story from you...Thank you. - DBC Dec 15th, 2003 |

I totally loved this story!! Katia N. Ruiz did a BEAUTIFUL job in this story. Battle between lost love and finds in totally different person. I loved how Noemi endure the loss of her beloved, find Terri, a lonesome person carry the baby of her bastard brother. How they both over came their agruement; their will of their own lives, and stands together as one. How they have friends, family that truely loved them. I loved how close Noemi's mother and father are close to one another, and her best friend, Victoria. She stand by for her friend, Noemi, and guide her to her trouble times. I'm crossing my fingers for the next seaqual to this exciting story. Thanks Katia, for your for love of writing. Keep it up. - Bay Dec 13th, 2003 |

[This Comment contains spoilers.] I truly love your Billie & Cat serie and hope that this is not the last. I can't wait for the next. The only thing I find a bit of a down-point is the way you jump at the ending. We don't know what happens between them being found and getting beter. It would add even more pages to the story if ya work that out just a little more :) Don't stop writing ... you're way to good!!! - Bacchus Dec 11th, 2003 |

I guess my partner was tired of me bitching about the scarcity of classic X&G fanfic and (after I overdosed on uber's) she searched this site and found this delightful author. All I can say is this bard is one excellent writer and I know I'm going to enjoy reading the rest of her stories if this one is any indication of her talent. - Kaye Dec 7th, 2003 |

Well well well... you've done it again haven't you! only part one and already im hooked. can't wait for part two... actually i can because i have to but i don't have to like it! By the way, your fear of not being able to do sequels? understandable but you have absolutely nothing to worry about! believe me, path of thorns is already starting to shape up as good as the "Edge". Your ability to show a side of characters that are very much set in their ways is very refreshing. Xena especially is interesting to explore from this new perspective. KEEP IT COMING!!! - Snuff Dec 6th, 2003 |
| Very good story especially for a first time author. It kept my interest and certainly made me think about many of the ideas the author presented. I would love to read a sequel and I hope the author will write one. - Cheryl Ande Dec 6th, 2003 |
| I read this all in one sitting because I couldn't wait to see each stage in the characters' growth. The protagonists start out (as antagonists!) about as far apart as they could be, and yet their movements toward each other are completely natural every step of the way. Very deftly done. - Babs Dec 5th, 2003 |
| Chapter 2 and 3 rally build the suspense in this tale!!! Good job Fiur and Vlamme!!! - Michelle Dec 5th, 2003 |
