    WOW! Man I could not put this story down. I was up all night reading it and was so dissapointed that it wasn't finished. I usually never read unfinshed stories and this one is copyright 2002. I had paid attention to the unfinished part. I loved this story but am worried that it will never be completed. What a great story to be left hanging for so long. On one hand I'am kicking myself for not notice and on the other I'am so glad to have read what I have thus far. PLEASE, PLEASE, finish this story soon. - Vee - Jun-25-2006

    Tempus Fugit By Mavis Applewater (Original / Uber - Modern, 449 Pages)
    What a brilliant story! I liked how every chapter was started; it set every era really well. The characters were realistic and believable to the point where you really care about them, no matter what they decide to do for themselves. A must read in my opinion. - Ang - Jun-23-2006

    Okay, you have now finished Charlotte Bell, and I am awed by your sentences, your creativity in bringing the reader to the time and space of Charlotte and Jane.

I recommend it on the highest level. - Anonymous - Jun-22-2006
    Charlotte Bell By Angelrad (Original / Uber - Modern, 127 Pages)

    As You Desire Me By PatR. (Xena: Janice and Mel - 1900-1960, 29 Pages)
    I have a great affinity for Mel/Janice stories, but I cannot bring myself to read either "As You Desire Me" or "The Phoenix And The Flame" as long as these: ' and " , are replaced with this: ? For example: ?I have an apartment in New Orleans, if you don?t have a place to stay.? Now, I've never been a stickler for correct grammar, but this is too much. If corrected, I'd be more than happy to read them, but not as it is right now. Or, alternatively, if someone could guide me to a proper copy, I would be most grateful. - Wolvie - Jun-22-2006

    The Odd Couple By Sarkel (X:WP, 70 Pages)
    this is a really good story and eventhough i knew it was incomplete, i didn't expect it so soon. The way the author has left the story hanging is soooooo cruel, cos i really wanted to know what happened to Gareth and the fact that i probably never will is not fair. Talk about injustice in the world. Now i know what a cliffhanger really is. jeeeeez. Please, please please Sarkel wherever you are; if you can see this, please could you continue the story. thanks bye. - Queen Victoria - Jun-21-2006
    Even the Darkest Heart By Wunderkind (Star Wars - Futuristic, 110 Pages)
    Ohh I really like this story and would love to read more. I like the different characters. How each one was different like in the movies. The main characters were so different from each other, but still it didn't keep them apart. PS. I tried the e-mail addy on the story and it kept sending it back. - TS - Jun-21-2006

    Gaia By romansilence (Stargate SG-1 - Futuristic, 157 Pages)
    This was the first story by this author that I had read, and it certainly won't be the last. Romansilence has woven a tale that holds true to both the Xena and Stargate storylines, and does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life. I look forward to the sequel. - Baerinin - Jun-21-2006

    [Spoiler Warning] This is a wonderful story for anyone who enjoys the Janice/Mel pairing. Intelligent, sweet without getting just too damned sappy, and erotic. My only problem with this one is that the bad guys lived. Link doesn't work. - Grommetik - Jun-16-2006

    Agony By Silk and TZ (X:WP, 12 Pages)
    If anybody wants a lesson on the writing language of eros, this is IT. I really like that this never becomes a story where you could insert any set of characters, or real people, and it wouldn't matter if it wasn't X & G. This story keeps true to the characters of X&G - and the eros is ALL ABOUT them. That's not an easy thing to pull off. Congrats, Silk & TZ! - Pysta - Jun-12-2006
    Above and Beyond By Annemaart (X:WP, 12 Pages)

    I just completed this story and I loved it. Looking back on some of my favorite fanfic, I find I enjoy stories with a bit of recognizable history. This story is so well done, and the characters well developed. It really made me think back a few years. All through this story there were things I wanted to happen that didn't, but that's okay because Mavis made those events turn out better than I ever could. That's why she is such a great writer and this is a great story. - gayzer - Jun-03-2006

    I like AngelRad's writing style. This is very pleasant to read, it has an easy delightful flow to it. My only criticism is I would have like more interaction between the two main characters. Otherwise a really good tale. - Sai - May-31-2006
    The Return By Tas (Original / Uber - Futuristic, 306 Pages)
    I've read this before and will read it again. The characters are well developed and interesting. The world they live in is based on honor and magic. I'm a fantasy reader and this story fits right in. If you enjoy adventure with a martial twist you'll want to read this. You done good Taz. - nljacksn - May-31-2006

    Iron Rose Bleeding By Anne Azel (Original / Uber - Futuristic, 97 Pages)
    I kept calling to my partner, reading her lines from this story. I kept reciting several wise sentences, and wanted to run and post them on the fridge so I could be reminded what "WHAT?" truly means, or what "putting a face on really represented. This story touches several issues about earth and it's people, and about other's planet's potential beings. Loved it, loved the characters. Thank you, author. - Anonymous - May-26-2006

  • We've a book publishing update today from Kim Baldwin.

    Whitewater Rendezvous is now available from Starcrossed Productions http://www.scp-inc.biz/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=626 and Bella Books. http://www.bellabooks.com/index.htm . The novel is set in Alaska and is very loosely based on a short story I posted here in 2004 by the same name, which made #1 on the list and was #85 on the top 100 list that year.

    My second book, Force of Nature, was also based on a couple of stories posted here: Blown Away and Fire and Ice, the latter of which also made #1.

    Also, I will be at the GCLS Convention in Atlanta in a couple of weeks, and I'll be attending the York Lesbian Arts Festival in October. Hope to meet some of you at the one or both of the events!

    I love hearing from readers: my email is baldwinkim@gmail.com and my website is at www.geocities.com/woodsbard My heartfelt thanks to all of you who have encouraged and supported my writing efforts.

    The End Of Our Journey By D. J. Belt (X:WP, 36 Pages)
    Every once in a while I read a classic piece that moves me. While I do not read very many classics, this one falls in that category. Perhaps I have missed them, but I have seen few stories that deal with our girls in old age as themselves. I was hesitant to read this story, I'm not sure why, I started and stopped a few times. I guess I'm one of those hangers on that still have visions of the show running around in my head. While this story does not end with Xena's head being lobbed off in the rain, the ending is very poignant and oh so Xena. - gayzer - May-20-2006

    My latest novel, The Flip Side of Desire, is now available for pre-order (go to my website and click on the book cover for a sneak preview and ordering information). It will be released officially on May 15th. This, my fourth novel, is a bit of a departure for me. It's the closest thing to a classic romance I've ever written. I hope you enjoy it. Please drop me a line to let me know what you thought of it if you do read it. I love hearing from you.

    In conjunction with the book release, I'm embarking on a book tour. At present I have appearances scheduled at:

    Lambda Rising Bookstore--7 p.m. Saturday, May 20, 2006
    1625 Connecticut Ave NW

    I hope to see some of you there! Also, I'll be speaking and signing during the upcoming Golden Crown Literary Society convention in Atlanta, GA June 8 - 11th. If you're interested, go to http://www.gclscon.com/ for more information. The GCLS is a great organization and the convention is very educational and way too much fun.

    There are other book signings in the works for Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington in August (dates still to be finalized) and I will be appearing and signing in Provincetown for Women's Week in October. Other dates and locations will be added. If you're a book store owner and you'd like to book an appearance (pun intended), please feel free to e-mail me--I'd love to come see you!

    If you're in the UK, there's a small Q & A with me in the current issue of Dykelife magazine. Lesbians on the Loose in Australia is about to run a piece on me (I think it's the June issue), and I've just completed an interview for Book Fetish (interesting questions) that you can find at www.bookfetish.org.

    Thanks, as always, for your continued support.

    Hello Everyone:

    I belong to a group of Xenites that dedicate some of our time to activities that will help to preserve a space in the Xenaverse. We have translated the www.officialxwpvs.com and www.xwpsubtextvs.com virtual seasons and are currently translating some great fanfic works by Advocate, TNovan, and several other great writers (with permission of course). If you are interested in maintaining this space alive by working with us by translating or planning future projects, we are looking for new members for our group.

    We only ask for some minor prerequisites, which are as follows:

    • You must posses at least a 40% understanding of Spanish. It is not necessary to be able to dominate the language in order to translate since there will be someone available to help with language problems. (This would be a great way to improve you language skills).
    • You must posses a great desire to preserve the Xenaverse.
    • You must be able to dedicate some time to translating a few pages of text that would be distributed on a weekly basis and translated within a specified time frame.

    • At this time we are also requesting anyone that is well versed in Spanish, but may not feel totally comfortable doing actual translation to help us out. We are in desperate need of individuals that can check for grammar and syntax of the translated works.

    Please remember this is all done for fun and to preserve the Amazon Warrior Spirit in all of us. If you would like more information you may contact us at xenacentro@hotmail.com

    Xenacentro Coordinator

    Pertenezco a un grupo Xenita de trabajo que nos dedicamos a realizar actividades que ayuden a la preservación de nuestro espacio Xenita. Hemos traducido al español las temporadas virtuales de www.officialxwpvs.com y www.xwpsubtextvs.com y ahora estamos traduciendo fanfic de varias escritoras como Advocate, Tnovan y otras buenas escritoras (con su permiso claro). Si deseas ayudar a mantener nuestro espacio vivo, colaborando en este trabajo como traductor/a y participar en la planificación de futuros proyectos, estamos buscando nuevos colaboradoras, que siempre son necesarios. Y bienvenidos. Los requisitos para colaborar en el actual trabajo, son:

    • Conocimientos medios de inglés (40% en adelante): no es necesario un dominio absoluto para su traducción al español, ya que contamos con la ayuda de nuestra asesoría en ingles.
    • Muchas ganas de trabajar por preservar el Mundo Xenita.
    • Disponibilidad de tiempo para traducir un pequeño texto que se reparte cada semana y debe ser entregado igual.

    • En esta ocasión, también estamos solicitando a alguien que este capacitada en el español como lengua, pero que no se siente totalmente capaz de hacer un trabajo de traducción para ayudarnos en ello. Necesitamos urgentemente la ayuda de quienes puedan ayudarnos con la gramática y sintaxis de las traducciones realizadas por el grupo de traductoras ya existente y aquellas (os) que quieran unirse a nuestro grupo de trabajo.

    The Road Back Home By Lynne Norris (Original / Uber - Modern, 402 Pages)
    *SPOILER ALERT!!!* Let me start off by saying I really wasn't looking for anything inparticular... but wanted something to do this evening... I stumbled across Second chances purely accidental.....around 8 this evening and was so caught within the story's web, I stayed up and continued reading the sequel... It is now almost 3am and I just finished reading one of the most heart wrenching tales I have in a while. The life and drama of hospital tales have always been my favorite. *snort* heaven knows I've seen more than I like from the inside. You did finominal with your detailing of the chaos that is the ER. And painted quite a picture of the daily life. The love between Alex and Regina is amazing... My heart leaped when Alex was shot. I am just glad it came to a happy ending... that they made it through together. This story had me hooked from the first to the last word. Letting the tale unravel just makes you anxious to know what happens... I was left with a few questions. I am curious on one thing....maybe I missed it not sure yet... Did Alex ever give her the ring? I would love to read something else you have written some day. You spin an amazing tale. Anywho...as I mentioned it is very late and I should get some rest..Before my head hits the keys and I have weird shaped letters across my forehead. *L* - Anonymous - Apr-30-2006

    Curse of the Conqueror By Enginerd (X:WP, 184 Pages)
    This story has engaged me right from the beginning, I'll definitely give it high marks. However, I was sadden to see the story ending just right after Xena wakes up. I hope to see a sequel where Xena and Gabrielle are reunited again. - Nat Chan - Apr-28-2006

This was a great addition to what i hope will be an ongoing story. Thank you again Ali, for sharing your gift with us. Oh buy the way I bought Ali's DVD Gillery's Little Secret, It was lovely so I urge you to see it too. - Scotti - Apr-27-2006

    Twilight By Kim Pritekel (Original / Uber - Modern, 371 Pages)
    KP has always been one of my favorite authors and has written some of the 'nets finest fiction. This story is one of her best and is full of what makes her so fun to read - humor, love, action, drama, plenty of angst and the characters are true to life in a way only the very talented can portray. Thanks again KP for your past, present and future endeavors -- I'll always be a fan! - Therese - Apr-26-2006
    Twice Reflected By Aurelia (Original / Uber - Modern, 73 Pages)
    I love that this is billed as "Part 2", implying there are more parts to come... YIPPEE! It takes considerable talent to have people believing in make-believe, and Aurelia has the pen, wit, insight, and general wordsmithing ability to do just that! I happily add my name to the list of believers. Thanks for another engaging read! - Therese - Apr-26-2006
    Reflected Passion By Aurelia (Original / Uber - Modern, 50 Pages)
    When I saw that Ms. Aurelia had written a sequel to this story, I came back to refresh my memory, and am I ever glad I did! This was an incredibly entertaining read the first time through and even more so on the re-read. Aurelia has an affinity for the written word, and an obvious love for antiques and history. Thanks for sharing your wonderful imagery and marvelous story telling! - Therese - Apr-26-2006
