    Hearts and Flowers Border by Fingersmith (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 151 Pages)
        Editor's Note: Recommendation contains spoilers.
    You will love this story!!! From beginning to end, it keeps you on the edge of your seat and on a roller-coaster ride of emotion. It is fast-paced, with never a dull moment, and you will surely fall in love with the characters as much as I have! Fingersmith is a truly gifted writer - witty one moment, delivering mouth-watering angst the next, all culminating in a climax of fulfilled dreams and a happy, happy ending (which, come on, we all love!!). I especially love the fictional scenario of supposed unrequited love, then discovering the passion is fully reciprocated - and Fingersmith manages to convey all this exquisitely!! She is a true, raw talent, who I think we'll all hear more from very soon - remember where you saw her first!! And Fingersmith, if you're reading this - if you publish we'll buy your books!!! From your Number One Fan! - Julie Mar 31st, 2005
    Hearts and Flowers Border by Fingersmith (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 151 Pages)

Right blend of pathos and humor. I completely enjoyed it and it kept me turning the page. Well done! Hope there will be more about Kris and Julianne! - Gracie Albright Mar 31st, 2005
    An Affair of Love by S. Anne Gardner (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 130 Pages)
        Been hoping for s. anne gardner to resume this story for the longest time, and now that she has cant wait for the next update!! Her stories draws the reader in and grabs hold, not letting go until the last word. They are always filled with so much emotion and you can almost feel it with the same amount of intensity and realism as the character. highest recommendation for all her works! - blazinangelwings Mar 30th, 2005
    My Lord: Megara by Mayt (alternative, 197 Pages)

    Hearts and Flowers Border by Fingersmith (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 151 Pages)
        If you havent read this story yet...I can only say one thing: READ IT!!! And read it now!! Figersmith just striked me as a fantastically gifted writer! And this is her first attempt to fiction...go figure! It's a wonderful story... sweet, funny, with such captivating characters that we all can relate to. It is very well writen and it can reach anyone's heart with so much joy. It talks about lost love - a theme that can strike a chord in anyone who went/goes through similar situations. And it also talks about love, friendship and all the emotions and fears and insecurities we all have at some point in our lives. Laura's character has an amazingly great sense of humor, being sarcastic at the right times, making you laugh no end. I really enjoyed this story so much, so I'd like to recommend it to anyone who hasnt read it yet. - Cris (aka Poppet) Mar 30th, 2005

The detailed descriptions made me feel like I was there and that made the suspense even higher. It was one of the first Uber stories I read that I felt was a keeper.

    A Breath of Scandal by S. Anne Gardner (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 43 Pages)
        Thank you, author, for the next 6 pages. This author is excellent at 'rifts.' The emotional distance S. Anne Gardner creates between the two main characters starts your heart pounding with a tension of wants, wants and more wants. (like a good serial that keeps you coming back) She also throws you head first into each of her stories, as an excellent writer will do..you are off and running within her text.

    Unexpected Arrival by R. Nolan (alternative, Original/Über - Futuristic, 151 Pages)
        R. Nolan has created something truly wonderful in Unexpected Arrival. It was one of the most enjoyable stories I've read in a long time. With R. Nolan's wonderfully written dialogue, the characters really come alive to the reader. Seven is written very accurately, and the "Unexpected Arrival" was one that the reader can't help but fall in love with. It's sweet, romantic, funny…and just an all around great love story. It gets my highest recommendation. - Bardeyes Mar 7th, 2005

    Everything by Midgit (alternative, 28 Pages)
        This was the very first Midgit story I ever read and I was so moved by her depiction of Xena's undying love for Gabrielle that I treasure all of Midgit's writing. I wish she would publish all her ubers and keep writing more Xena fiction as well. She never disappoints me. - Karon Reiter Mar 6th, 2005
    Cold by Midgit (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 208 Pages)
        This was a good uber - well written - I enjoyed it. I like anything by Midgit - she has a wonderful grasp of the Xena and Gabrielle relationship and she translates it well into her original fiction. - Karon Reiter Mar 6th, 2005
    Out of the Darkness: Into the Light by Ri (alternative, 17 Pages)

    The Wages of Sin by Mathghamhna (alternative, 24 Pages)
        Can anybody - will anybody finish this wonderful story that leaves you hanging? It has not been touched since 1997 so I would have to conclude Mathghamhna has abandoned it. But it's deserving of completion. It needs closure and it needs a resolution - and the possibilities are exciting and titillating if only someone would dare to come up with an ending. - Karon Reiter Mar 5th, 2005
    Editor's Note - Important: Asking others to finish a story not finished by a bard is a no, no...it infringes on the bards' innate copyright. Basing a new original work on another bards' work has been done, but again, either the new writer asked the original works' writer for permission to base a work on theirs and got it, or the new writer very clearly documented the original work title, author, and time of writing and where it originally appeared. It is not often done successfully.

    In a time of parodies, ubers, and originals, readers are crying out for a hero. The hero is you...a bard...a mighty bard...forged at the computer keyboard. The plots, the characters, the imagination. Your story could re-ignite interest in the classic stories of Xena and Gabrielle.

    CALLING ALL BARDS...

    Do you live for the past? Is "By The Gods" part of your normal vocabulary? Do you enjoy putting words in Xena's and Gabrielle's mouths? Have we got an offer for you...

The sweetness and beauty of the romance between Ashley and Jessie bloom from friendship and enchant the reader from start to finish. I had saved it on my hard drive cause you never know when you're in need of a wonderfully romantic story and this one is it! The beauty of this story is timeless. A classic for sure so I indulged myself in it once again and found hope that my dream will come true just like it did for Ashley and Jessie. Great job by two wonderful writers.
