Short and sweet story. Makes me happy. - silverwriter01 - Jul-21-2010   

BoP is always in need of more love and attention, Enginerd does great!! - Anonymous - Jul-24-2010   

Hurray, another Birds of Prey story, and even better by one of my favorite authors :) This was a very sweet story. We need more Birds of Prey stories! - Aerows - Aug-05-2010   

A wonderful post endgame story. A true checkmate....Avid - Avidreader276570 - Dec-08-2008   

Great story. I just love Enginerd's stories. Hope to see many more. - linda aka cygirl1 - Dec-09-2008   

I love Captain Janeway!! I hope Enginerd writes more about the J/7 pairing. - Greegan - Dec-09-2008   

What a wonderfully witty story! I love Janeway/Seven. The humor is so uniquely woven into the story that it's just richly satisfying. Sweet, Enginerd. It's a gift for one of the twelve days of Christmas. Thank you. - Teresa Thomas - Dec-09-2008   

I enjoyed this! More J/7 please! - Joan - Dec-25-2008   

i can never get tired of this short story. leaves me with a smile. - carinjo - Dec-06-2009   

This a very funny Conqueror story. Enginerd is a writer who can combine humor and adventure with terrific results. Here the alternative Conqueror universe gets a real work out with naked Amazons, a confused lovelorn Conqueror and a very accidental Amazon queen. - Cheryl Ande - Jan 17th, 2003   

The link to this story is broken. Curse of the Conqueror by Enginerd - Tracey - Feb 19th, 2004   

I just finished reading Curse of the Conqueror and I give it high marks. A tongue tied Conqueror looking for "love" in all the wrong places and unable to talk about, um... well, you know... makes for a very funny story. Add to that an excellent plot and you have a winner. - Patricia - Feb 23rd, 2004   

I thouroughly enjoyed this humorous and moving story. I don't usually like Conqueror tales, but this one is a fantastic exception. Enginerd has a very engaging writing style. - Carol Lee - Oct 19th, 2005   

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   

Curse of the Conqueror is a finished story and does not end with Xena waking up. There is much more to the story. The complete story can be found on the here or on Enginerd website. - Cheryl Ande - Apr-30-2006   

Fantastically funny. A real XTC gem. - msprism - May-15-2007   

a story with action,romance,between two enduring souls. a must read. - Anonymous - Feb-02-2008   

This story has humor and romance and is enjoyable from beginning to the end. - Avidreader276570 - Feb-09-2008   

Read this wonderful and humores story - Callisto - Feb-10-2008   

This is a funny Conqueror story that depicts the Conqueror and her desperate search for her problem with you know....you know...YOU KNOW
A must read! - Callisto - Feb-10-2008   

Extremely funny, had me going there!!! Always thought Xena had that..you know.. problem, that's why she stuck to Gabby..hahaha..!
And Gosh..can't help LMFAO..Najara wanting gin at the stake! "She never drank Alcohol" that was funny!
Well, if you like to let ur imagination float for a while into extreme comic scenarios, here's the thing for you. And though these may not be the characters as we know them , you'll still love them for sure. - XSDarkLord - Feb-24-2008   

This was certainly one of THE best Conqueror stories ever. The humor was right on point. I found myself actually laughing out loud to this. - Sherron - Sep-10-2008   

How on earth did I manage to miss this gem of a story after all these years? I will say however that I am glad I did because I have had the chance now to read a real classic that is not only utterly charming... Xena is so loveable in this even when chopping off heads! (Don't believe me? Just take a read :))
It also made me chuckle consistently throughout, with quite a few laugh out loud moments too.
It has everything you want in a classic story... Amazons, old enemies,feisty Gabrielle, stoic Xena, and a lovely romance thrown in to turn you into a big mush.
I wish I could write like this! Brilliant stuff! - Kez - Nov-01-2008   

this was really good. - Dawn - Nov-09-2008   

A wonderful surprise! Very, very funny! - Anonymous - Nov-10-2008

Oh my gosh, I looooved this story. At first I was a bit shocked by it, but in the end I laughed so loud and it was kinda romantic as well - Sterre - May-18-2008   

Enjoyable read. Surprise ending - cygirl1 - May-20-2008   

Absolutely enthralling post Endgame story where Janeway is kidnapped by a mysterious figure who wants to know the state of affairs between her and Seven. Excellent read! - happykt - May-21-2008   

A post-Endgame story with a quirkier than average twist. A brilliant read. - Anonymous - May-29-2008   

love this! so glad to see people are still writing j/7 fiction! - Anonymous - Aug-06-2008   

A continuation of a wonderful series. The love Janice has for Mel is so clear, even when they are apart. An emotionally powerful story. A must read. - Annie - Mar-06-2009   

Wow. Very powerful story. Luckily I know there are others in the series. Read it and be moved. - Annie - Mar-06-2009   

*lol* - I love these kinds of discussions! - absinthe angel 777 - Dec 12th, 2004   

Cleaver and different. Very funny! Loved it! - Stardawn - Mar-23-2010   

Fun story! Good mix of drama and comedy. OH! I am sure I spotted some UBER Xena/Gabrielle characters in there:) - Clara - May-06-2006   

Great story.

Interesting new character added and very well-written plot. - Anonymous - Feb-11-2007

Great story! I laughed out loud on many occasions. I highly recommend the story and will look out for more from Enginerd. - Anonymous - Apr-22-2008   

This has long been one of my favorites that I have read several times. In fact I will read many more times in the future. - linda aka cygirl1 - May-01-2008   

Very enjoyable story. I recommend - Anonymous - May-02-2008   

Another winner from Enginerd. This is one of my favorite J/7 stories I've ever read, and I've read a lot of them. - Aerows - Sep-30-2009   

WOW! This story was just ....WOW! You must read this story & it's sequel. You won't be disappointed. And just like everyone else who hs read this story, MORE PLEASE! - mokita - Aug-15-2010   

Loved it...spot on! - Anonymous - Dec-10-2007   

This is fabulous. All Enginerd's work is a joy but this is a particular favourite. Gabriele's family are hilarious and Xena and Gabrielle's characters are on the mark. I thoroughly recommend you read all Enginerd's work. - Elaine - Jan-31-2008   

This is one the earliest Xena stories is very good. Enginerd is not only a good writer but a very funny writer. She has a sly sense of humor and is a great story teller. Read this stor and then go on and read em'all. - CherylA - Jan-31-2008   

A classic! - Avidreader276570 - Feb-09-2008   

A true classic, and enjoyable read - Callisto - Feb-10-2008   

This story is great. Humor, action, romance, and .... Amazons! How can you go wrong?? - Fran - Aug-04-2010   

A wonderfully-written story where Xena and Gabrielle, answering a call for help, travelled to a city with weird custom and conservative elders. The second half of the story is especially touching. A must read! - aurelius - Dec 9th, 2004   

Very good sequel to Thin Line. I read it in one seating and I enjoyed imensely the psychological aspect of the story. - M. - Apr-11-2009   

Enginerd has added wonderful depth of character to this story line. A writer to watch! Definitely three-hankies. - offhermeds - Apr-13-2009   

An intense, vivid story. A great read. - MaryOtt - Apr-28-2009   

An engaging story! I highly recommend. - SusanG - Jun-06-2009   

Awesome story. I definitely recommend it. - Hoqoq - Dec-07-2009   

A great romance! I love Helena and Barbara and this story shows how right they are together, regardless of the circumstance or time. I hope to see more BoP from this author.

- Barbaralover - Feb-08-2010   

i really love this story. there's not a lot of BoP out there and this is one of the best. - carinjo - Mar-02-2010   

A fun story! I really enjoyed this romance. - LynnR - Apr-02-2010   

Another masterpiece by Enginerd. Excellent work, and as to be expected from Enginerd, a well crafted tale.

Excellent writer, and I just noticed she had a sequel up to A Fine Line, one of my favorite Voyager fics :). Please keep writing, Engie, you are *wonderful*! - Aerows - May-29-2010   

I LOVED this story! It has everthing you would want in a BoP fic. - mokita - Aug-10-2010

A very good Janice and Mel story. This isn't a continuation of Enginerd's Janice and Mel war series but perhaps it can be viewed as a prequel. Her Janice and Mel characters are always well written but her secondary characters are always enjoyable too. There is Janice's friend, a Greek prostitute who takes her profession very seriously and Mel's erstwhile suitor from home who just can't understand why every woman is attracted to Janice and not him. I love Janice and Mel and there are too few stories featuring them so I hope Enginerd has more good stories to tell. - Cheryl Ande - May 27th, 2004   

An extremely well-writen story, which reads like a true adventure movie. The characterization of Janice and Mel is very interesting. Mel was especially endearing while Janice was infuriating, though you couldn't help but love her. Janice's background story was unpretentious and nicely written. I like this story the most among the author's Mel & Janice stories. - aurelius - Nov 30th, 2004   

Fabulous stuff!. Enginerd writes Janice and Mel better than anyone else I've read. Funny, touching, a good romantic adventure and terrific dialogue. A joy to read. Thank you! More please! :) - Anonymous - Apr-17-2007   

I just finished this story and I'm basking in the warm fuzzies!! I loved it. What a great adventure! I felt like I was right there with them. And the end was such a sweet suprise!! I highly recommend this tale!!!! ***** - loubug - Nov-11-2007   

This was a great Mel and Janice story, absolutely mind boggling,heart warming and even funny in places. You are a most wonderful bard. - vampireslayer2 - Nov-13-2007   

Once you started reading this wonderful story, no stopping till the end. Full of action, tender romance, tasteful humor. All done in amazingly easy to read and high quality writing. Hats off to Enginerd. You are a wonderful bard. - Anonymous - May-21-2010   

Awesome story, keep up the good work - sassy123 - Aug-08-2010   

This was an amazing story. So many story lines related to the mystery being solved in BOP fan fiction aren't developed in order to explore the relationship more. Enginerd managed to make this fiction as much about the mystery as the relationship. It was extremely well written. I couldn't put it down. - darkenedkarma - Jan-28-2008   

Good god this is good... contains some angst, confusion and love...whats not to like, could not stop reading it. This is definitely worth a read two thumbs up :-D - Anonymous - Jun-21-2008   

god please more just love it... funny, sexy, sweet, loving storie - Anonymous - Oct-26-2008   

A touching, romantic adventure. I wish there was more!! - Barbaralover - Oct-30-2008   

A captivating story! I hope to see more Helena/Barbara fiction from this author. - Helen - Jul-19-2009

Great story - I love BoP - Aerows - Aug-05-2010   

I really enjoyed this story. I love Janice and Mel and Enginerd does them proud. When Mel bring Janice home to meet the family Southern Hospitality is put to a real test. Enginerd does a great job creating Mel's family and friends all of whom are as eccentric as our two heroines. If you love Janice and Mel this is a must read. - Cheryl Ande - May 27th, 2004   

That is one of the best Janice and Melinda stories I've read so far. The characterization is just great and the whole thing is an enjoyable read. - querdenker69 - Jan-04-2007   

Wow, Talk about a hidden gem. The voices of Mel and Janice seem right on in this wonderful tale...you won't be disappointed. - brighteyez - Jan-01-2008   

This is absolutely one of the best Mel and Janice stories I've ever read!!! The chemistry between these two is perfect! If you haven't read this, treat yourself and give it a go! You won't be dissapointed!! ***** - loubug - Jan-12-2008   

Enginerd is a wonderful writer. I love all of her stories but this one topped the rest. Never go wrong with Janice and Mel...Thank you. - Anonymous - Jun-25-2008   

Okay, I admit it... I have a horrible obsession with Enginerd's portrayal of Janice in her wonderful Janice and Mel stories. I have totally and fallen head over heels in love with a fictional character and I blame the author!
This series is right up there with the Vivian Darkbloom Janice and Mel stories, and I rate them amongst my favourite fanfics in this truly talented Xenaverse.
Do yourselves a favour and read them... all of them at Enginerd's web addy (the stories are not all listed here) http://www.enginerd.info/Fiction/library.htm
I guarantee that you will laugh, cry, and love along with these rich characters. Brilliant writing! - Kez - Jan-04-2009   

I really enjoyed this Mel and Janice story. The dialogue is spot on and the romance sweet. - Fallon - Feb-27-2009   

Vulnerability, growth, and conviction. Enginerd's characters have all of these things. Mel and Janice are so alive and the mystery really keeps the suspense moving. Loved the interactions between the two main characters. - Anonymous - Mar-04-2009   

I love Janice! The story is humorous and romantic and totally engaging. The secondary characters are also interesting and create a perfect backdrop to our heroines. - Annie - Mar-06-2009   

If you love a good Janice/Mel urber, it doesn't get any better than this. This author has one of the best series, I think i've re-read them all atleast 3x's, - Brighteyez - Apr-13-2009   

This author is INCREDIBLE! She brings intelligence, humor, nuance to the characters and to the plot! I really enjoyed the reading!
I'm impressed... so will you! - yuka - Jun-09-2009   

Excellent Mel and Janice story. Nice blend of humor, romance and adventure. Good characterization of the Mel and Janice relationship and strong supporting characters. - crskcks - Jun-14-2009   

I'm not usually fond of the pairing Janice/Melinda but this fantastic bard made me definitely change my mind. She is so talented!
Janice is charismatic, mysterious and attractive as hell! The whole atmosphere is thrilling so deep and fun at the same time.
Wow! I'm very impressed.
READ THIS MASTERPIECE! - yuka - Jun-17-2009   

A wonderfully told story about the uncertanty of love, sprinkled with romance, guided by Southern Hospitality with a great who-done-it woven in from the begining. A great read! Check out all of Enginerd's stories - well worth it. - Georgia - Jun-21-2009   

I loved this story! - kalan - Jun-11-2010   

What a fun, well-written story. Good characters and a sweet romance. - applegirl - Jun-19-2010

broken link. [Editor's Note: Fixed Link] - luvtigger71 - Jul-22-2010   

i can't believe this excellent story has no recommendations. It is a wonderful Xena fic punctuated by a relevent Janice and Mel story. I so wish the author had decided to write more G&X becuase I love her characterisations and the secondary characters are always strong. If you like classic X&G read it! - Elaine - Jun-01-2010
