    Tempus Fugit By Mavis Applewater (Original / Uber - Modern, 234 Pages)
    Oh, my good Lord, this is a fantastic story! It is one of those that makes you keep reading past your bedtime. The pacing, the emotion, everything is so tightly drawn that I can hardly wait to see how it all ends. - JS Stephens - Mar-28-2006

    Promise Me Again By AnnieSA (Original / Uber - Modern, 66 Pages)
    Wonderful sequel so far. Part 7 doesn't seem to be working though. Can't wait to read the rest of it. - Baerinin - Mar-27-2006
    Editor's Note: A wandering Amazon bard stole part 7, but we managed to wrestle it away from her and return it to The Athenaeum.
    A Breath of Scandal By S. Anne Gardner (Original / Uber - Modern, 57 Pages)
    Great story. I hope the author gets time to update soon! - Anonymous - Mar-27-2006
    Passion's Bright Fury By Radclyffe (Original / Uber - Modern, 139 Pages)
    Great story. Sexy, interesting characters in an exciting setting. - Cam - Mar-26-2006
    And Playing the Role of Herself... By dabkey (Original / Uber - Modern, 243 Pages)
    Just finished reading this story and all I can say is...WOW!...BRAVA!!....outstanding story and characters, wonderfully paced, beautifully sensual and erotic, had me wishing for another couple hundred pages. - thejadedapple - Mar-25-2006
    Tomahawk'd By DS Bauden (Original / Uber - Modern, 193 Pages)
    Tomahawk.d, the first full-length novel from DS Bauden in three years, is a story that was well worth the wait. The author demonstrates her talent and versatility by creating a story completely different from her previous work, both in theme and style. The common thread between this story and Bauden.s previous books, is that readers will become so involved with the characters, they may forget they are fiction and continue to think about them long after the back cover has been closed. It is a book that is difficult to put down and includes twist and turns the reader won.t be expecting. - Reader - Mar-25-2006
    And Playing the Role of Herself... By dabkey (Original / Uber - Modern, 243 Pages)
    Excellent story that had me gripped from the beginning. I really hope there's some sort of sequel *hint, hint* - P. - Mar-25-2006
    Whitewater Rendezvous By Kim Baldwin (Original / Uber - Modern, 33 Pages)
    Loved the short story. Can't wait for the book! - Anonymous - Mar-24-2006

    beautifully touching story. i couldn't put it down. thank you - Anonymous - Mar-22-2006

    Touching, very very touching. Heart-wrenching and almost painful to read but well worth it - Anonymous - Mar-22-2006
    Blood and Honor By Windstar and Zee (Original / Uber - Ancient, 305 Pages)

    What Price The Greater Good? By R. D. Elliott (X:WP, 27 Pages)
    Another great story by this author. As always, well-written, nice characterisation and an angsty, involving plot. I would love to see RD take on a Conqueror story, as I think that genre would really suit her style. Thanks, and please keep em coming - baobab - Mar-21-2006
    Organi By Mickey (Original / Uber - Futuristic, 130 Pages)
    A truly delightful story. I'm a total futuristic/sci-fi junkie and I have to say this hit the spot. This author has yet to disappoint me. I'm glad I was able to read it. (My thanks go to The Tireless Bug Stomper) - Sparky - Mar-21-2006

  • Our thanks to everyone that pointed out what wasn't working over the last few weeks on The Athenaeum. With over 7,000 documents tucked away in our little library, and having to update them all, it was no surprise that we missed some. Unfortunately, as everyone is no doubt aware of, our transfer to the new webhost didn't go as smoothly as we would have liked. In the database migration we think about 70 story records (out of 5200) were lost. Exactly which stories were lost is rather difficult to tell at this point. If you notice anything missing, we really would appreciate an e-mail telling us about it.

    Also, all of our story files now have an .html extension. If you've linked to anything with a .cfm, .hts, or .mv extension, you'll need to change it.

  • There's a new Top-25 list today! J This list covers the last few weeks on the old Yahoo Site. One bard gets her first #1 ever this week! Next week we'll post the list from the first few weeks on our new site.
  • KTBard's alternative X:WP A Letter to Live (1 page).
  • DS Bauden's alternative Original / Uber (Modern) Tomahawk'd (193 pages).
  • Anonymous' alternative Original / Uber (Modern) The Letting Go (6 pages).
  • Parts 3-5 (32 more pages) of C. J. Harte's alternative Original / Uber (Modern) Dream's Of Bali (63 pages in 5 parts - Unfinished).
  • Part 8 (27 more pages) of Mavis Applewater's alternative Original/Über Tempus Fugit (234 pages in 8 parts - Unfinished.)

    Hesed By Mayt (Original / Uber - Modern, 124 Pages)
    I really wanna read hesed but couldnt seem to find it. Thelink is not workin. can u fix it pleaaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee - Anonymous - Mar-20-2006
    Editor's Note: Hesed is due to be published (or already has been published) and is no longer available online.
    The Irresistable Flame By DJWP (X:WP, 49 Pages)
    I've read DJWP's other brilliant works but for some reason avoided this one. I didn't like the idea of the plot. I am a FOOL. This story is truly, truly, excellent. If you have't read it yet, do so NOW! X & G are perfectly written, their imporobable love deeply inspiring, and the historic and military elements of the story fascinating and thrilling. It also manages to be dark and funny in turn. DJWP, you bloody rule! - vee - Mar-19-2006
    Fifty Winters Ago By IseQween (X:WP, 51 Pages)
    Wonderful story! Just love how the author depicted the relationship between X&G. - aurelius - Mar-19-2006
    The Official Guide to Rescuing and Maintaining Damsels in Distress By K. Alexander (Original / Uber - Ancient, 132 Pages)
    What a wonderful funny story! Well worth the read! - Netta - Mar-17-2006
    The Revival By JS Stephens (Xena: Janice and Mel - 1900-1960, 27 Pages)
    This story is set around 1896. - JS Stephens - Mar-17-2006
    Editor's Note: Corrected.
    The Texas Summer - An UberXena Adventure By JS Stephens (Xena: Janice and Mel - 1900-1960, 19 Pages)
    Actually, this story is set in the around 1876, not the 20th century. - JS Stephens - Mar-17-2006
    Editor's Note: Corrected.
    The Judging of the Queen By Pysta (X:WP, 91 Pages)
    Wow. That's the first word that popped into my head after I read this story. It is THE best post-FIN story I have ever read. It doesn't cut corners; it doesn't spare emotion--yet it doesn't go overboard. The writing itself is fabulous, some of the smoothest and most...bard-like I've read. And the ending is so satisfying! I cannot wait to see more from this wonderful author. - Anonymous - Mar-17-2006
    Hidden Desires By Vertigo (Original / Uber - Modern, 32 Pages)
    I love this author and this story is definitely one of my favourites. The characters are so real you can almost feel what they're feeling and live vicariously through them. This is a wonderful story and I would recommend everyone to read it, you'll never forget it. - Nathaly R, Dominican Republic - March 17 2006 - Mar-17-2006
    The Official Guide to Rescuing and Maintaining Damsels in Distress By K. Alexander (Original / Uber - Ancient, 132 Pages)
    I'm not able to get chapter 11. Help???? - pat - Mar-16-2006
    Editor's Note: This story should be working now, and here's the link to Chapter 11 as well.
    Xeno's Dilemma By Larisa (X:WP, 37 Pages)
    I didn't think Larisa could get any funnier, but she sure tha Hell did! - Jesse James. - Mar-15-2006
    Swing Time By Larisa (Original / Uber - Modern, 102 Pages)
    Everytime I turn around my best friend is sending these to me. I wouldn't complain but she keeps comparin' them to me. Now, the fact is completely disturbing that I have to admit she's right, I do alot of those things, and make matters worse, I would say alot of those things. Larisa, keep it up hon'. - Jesse James. - Mar-15-2006
    Semper Fi By Larisa (Original / Uber - Modern, 73 Pages)
    I have to say that my time in the Marines has been just as funny and it helped me laugh when I felt like screamin'. I just wish that the sgt's were as funny! Larisa, ya did another funny one. - Jesse James - Mar-15-2006
    Sanitation Engineer (The) By Larisa (Original / Uber - Modern, 67 Pages)
    I look at stories like this and I can't help but laugh my butt off, my Goddess where on earth does Larisa get this stuff from? - Jesse James - Mar-15-2006
    Ripper's Heart By Larisa (Original / Uber - Modern, 58 Pages)
    I have to say that when Sam and Brian started singing that song about Jesse James my mother thought I was gonna bust my gut I was laughing so hard, my cat was looking at me like I should be institutionalized. Now my mother keeps gettin' annoyed 'cuz whenever I do somethin' agrivatin' to them I start singing that song. I can't help it. Yes I may be nuts but these stories are the best! - Jesse James. - Mar-15-2006
    Hill Jack Conspiracy By Larisa (Original / Uber - Modern, 84 Pages)
    I have to say that this was one of the most amusing stories I've read of Larisa's. I'm what a lot of people would refer to as a country hick so when my best friend read this one she made me read it. I've always had an obsession with The Secret Squirrel and so it really amused me alot, of course my tatoo of Secret Squirrel isn't in the same place but I wish I had thought of it :D. I just wish Larisa would write one based in Georgia. It would really rock if she based one in Gainesville GA. - Jesse James - Mar-15-2006
    Appalachian Trails By Larisa (Original / Uber - Modern, 97 Pages)
    I loved this story, not too many of the fanfic authors are able to capture me with any of their stories, but Larisa has captured my attention with every story. They contain the right amount of humor, romance, and some violence. Gotta love it, with Appalachian Trails I was transfixed to the screen until I had read every line. - Jesse James - Mar-15-2006

  • Reader Recommendations -

    At A Distance By Melissa Good (X:WP, 171 Pages)
    The only fan fiction writer that I have ever asked to marry me. LOL. Missy has a way of writing Xena and Gabrielle. She had taken a different path from the series since "The Quest". I'm so thankful that she did because for all of those weekly Xena withdrawals, then those re-runs months, the whole fifth season, and now the end of the series, her stories have kept the Xena and Gabrielle saga alive for me more than any other classic stories. What I love most about Missy's stories are the relationships between the characters. That's not to say that her stories lack action, heck no, but Xena and Gabrielle could be picking their teeth and I would like to read about it in a Missy story. Thank you - BYL - Mar-14-2006
    Amazons of the Dahomey (The) By Susan Smith (X:WP, 210 Pages)
    Susan Smith has a unique gift in telling a story. Though I cannot see the Xena and Gabrielle from the TV series in her story, but she had taken the characters of Xena and Gabrielle into another world of her own creation filled with drama, adventure, and romance. When I read this story, I always thought it more of an uber than classic Xena fiction, though it is not exactly uber and more of classic. I think only a great story teller can do that flawlessly. Thank you. - BYL - Mar-14-2006
    All Through The Night By Rebekah (X:WP, 42 Pages)
    One of the greatest fan fiction classics. Rebekah, you will be missed. Thank you. - BYL - Mar-14-2006
    About that Kiss By Trish Kerr (Phopas) (X:WP, 48 Pages)
    This is one of the very first fan fiction stories that I have read back when it was first posted. And because of it, I became more hooked with the Xenaverse. I have yet to read it a second time but I remember it well. Phopas has such a strong grip with the characters of Xena and Gabrielle in the early days of the series that she describes them to perfection. A very good novel with everything that one can wish for. Also look for its sequel. Highly recommended! Thank you Phopas. - BYL - Mar-14-2006
    Somewhere In Time By Friction (X:WP, 132 Pages)
    I think I must have read this story at least five times. It is beautifully written. Because of it I even went out to search for the movie with the same name starring Christopher Reeve. Let me tell you the only thing common between the two is the name! The movie is a bore while I couldn't stop reading this story, and it gets better every time I read it. This story has everything, drama, romance, and also a sense of adventure. I think Friction is one of the greatest bards in the Xenaverse. Highly recommended! - BYL - Mar-14-2006
    Beginnings By Fingersmith (Original / Uber - Modern, 206 Pages)
    A fantastic read. Excellent characters and plot. Fingersmith has written a story with such feeling and heart I couldn't put it down. Loved it. - Katie - Mar-14-2006
    Blood and Honor By Windstar and Zee (Original / Uber - Ancient, 226 Pages)
    So I found myself bored one day and thought that I would read a nice story, came here to find one and I curiously picked out "Blood and Honor". Started to read it and before I knew it time had flown and I was totally involved in this story, the characters, the events, the place where these women lived, everything...I was totally hooked. I can honestly say one of the best stories I have read in a LONG time. Hopefully you both finish it SOON!!!! This is a definitely recommend....it's a 10!!! Take care! - N - Mar-13-2006
    Academy's Finest (The) By Sandra Barret (Original / Uber - Futuristic, 66 Pages)
    Talk about a wonderful story, this is fantastic. - purplehawke - Mar-13-2006
    Buried Prejudices By Larisa (Original / Uber - Modern, 93 Pages)
    I love tis story. I cant tell you how many time. I have this story over and over. - Jaime - Mar-12-2006
    After The Curtain Falls By Kathleen Wolf (X:WP, 250 Pages)
    This was a great story, although i am hoping one day there will be a follow on story, there were so many questions left unanswered and so many who escaped retribution, but otherwise a great story!!! - Lissa - Mar-12-2006
    Fate By DE Salsbury (Original / Uber - Modern, 581 Pages)
    I have just one thing to say....is there a sequel..and if so where is it. - Tina - Mar-11-2006
    Business Trip By Lady J (Original / Uber - Modern, 109 Pages)
    Wow. This story is a must read. - LJ - Mar-11-2006
    Blood and Honor By Windstar and Zee (Original / Uber - Ancient, 226 Pages)
    So wonderfully written and well thought out, with rich characters and detail, that I'm sure this world must actually exist somewhere :) Pick it up, read two pages and you won't be able to put it down...and you'll thank me for it! - Chris - Mar-10-2006
    Last Dance By C. J. Harte (X:WP, 7 Pages)
    This is an incredible story of love. This is a gifted writer. I've read her other three pieces as well and am amazed at the talent. Thank you - Patty - Mar-10-2006
    Crossing Over Jordan By C. J. Harte (Original / Uber - Modern, 5 Pages)
    What a delightful story! I noticed CJ Harte has a new story-Dreams of Bali - I can't wait for the rest! Please more! - Maggie - Mar-10-2006

    Good day -

    I realize there are a few of you that have been waiting a couple of years for this announcement. So, here goes. The current release date for my novel Hesed is March 6, 2006. Hesed has been modified and significantly expanded from what you may have read on the internet (no longer available on-line).

    It is currently available for pre-order from Cavalier Press at http://www.cavalierpress.com. Follow the pre-order link.

    If you prefer to buy Hesed at a local bookstore, here is what you need to know to hopefully get the bookstore to order the book for you:

    Title: Hesed
    Author: Maytee Aspuro y Gonzalez
    Price: $19.95 US $22.95 Canadian
    ISBN: 0-9765664-2-7
    Publisher: Cavalier Press L..L.C.
    Distributor: Bella Distribution

    I will be having a book signing at Outwords Books (http://www.outwordsbooks.com) in Milwaukee, WI on Tuesday, March 21 at 7pm. Drop by if you are in the neighborhood.

    If you are not familiar with Hesed...

    Set in Chicago, Hesed follows the lives of two women with divergent worldviews. Elizabeth Ann Kelly is a young, devout Anglican priest, new to a troubled, ethnically diverse neighborhood. Beth carries an unspoken burden that has molded her life and her vision of the future. Nicole Isabel Thera is a respected business consultant and owner of the Elysian Fields, an entertainment establishment consisting of a pub, restaurant and dance club that caters to the lesbian and gay community. Nicole's public life is balanced with a quiet existence designed to contain the harsher consequences of a troubled life. As their respective journeys progress, the two women are confronted with personal and social challenges that ultimately alter the way they see themselves and each other.

    If you do read Hesed, I look forward to receiving your comments.

    Time Has No Meaning By Stone (Original / Uber - Modern, 125 Pages)
    I don't know why I delayed reading this when it's such a fantastic story.

Stone is a writer who hits the mark everytime. - E - Mar-07-2006

  • We're back.   Again.  Hopefully.  Our first attempt at moving didn't work out so well. After speaking with our new hosting company, we're trying again. Instead of an MS Access database, we're now using MySQL. With any luck, this should work for us. For the next week our address will be: http://xenafiction.net/. If we are stable for a week, we'll transfer the domain name over to the new hosting company. You should not use xenafiction.net until we transfer it.

    Beginning tomorrow (hopefully) we will start getting caught up with the stories people have sent us over the last few weeks.

  • We're back! J  We have new features, a faster server, and an almost intact website.  Well, two out of three ain't bad!  We're toiling away to getting everything working...  If you see anything that's not working, please, please, please tell us.  We can't fix it, if we don't know it's broken.  Make sure you check out our new Cast searching feature on our main page.  Over 80% of our listed works now show a cast - and that includes the Original/Ubers!

    I wouldn't expect another update until Monday.  We're awfully tired...  You wouldn't believe how heavy those boxes of scrolls were. ;-)  The Top-25 will return on Monday, and the Artwork of the Day should return no later then early next week.

    Out of the Darkness: Into the Light by Ri (alternative, 17 Pages)
        I thought this was a really interesting and different story. I love that Gabrielle was the one who was the lead in this story but Xena was still the focus. It was a really interesting glimpse into the core of Xena and the bravery and loyalty of Gabrielle. - Taylor Feb 17th, 2006

    Gabrielle's Stormy Past by bluebard (alternative, 53 Pages)
        This is a really beautiful, erotic, and heartfelt story about the budding (but problematic) romance between Xena and Gabrielle. One of their adventures stirs up something in Gabrielle's past, and once the "thread is pulled," everything just comes apart. I loved the way the author made this alternate version of Gabrielle's past (and the way she met Xena at Poteidaia) so believeable. I also loved seeing Xena save Gabrielle's soul, for once! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - xena_stickdoll Feb 6th, 2006

    Storms of War by JLynn (alternative, 441 Pages)
        An absolute classic Xena fanfiction that should NOT BE MISSED!!
    Written after the end of the show's run, this shows that great Xena/Gabrielle fanfiction can still be produced.
    Wonderful! - Kerry Jan 19th, 2006
    Past Tense, Future Perfect by Anne Laughlin (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 50 Pages)
        This is a delightful, easy read. (My only wish is that I could read a whole book from Anne.) It's also nice to read some "grown up" lesbian fiction where the characters are older than 20 and are living and dealing with life (…not just experiencing pure lesbian drama). I am now attached to the characters because I can't help but like them and relate to their realness. Anne has the ability to write in a straight-forward way that leaves the reader just enough room for their own imagination to play. I think the word for this type of writing is eloquent. - Rita B Jan 19th, 2006
