This series only gets better. The characters grow and the story continues to evolve. Did I already mention that I love the approach to Xena's character? Great read. - H.W. - Apr-26-2009    This story is, in fact, finished. It just ends very abruptly. [Corrected 5-5-2009] - Gin - May-05-2009    these series were/are spectacular and so well written all the intimate details of the characters are so well done i highly reccomend this author and series. - erma - Jan-20-2011    The sequel is every bit as good as the original. If you liked the first story then keep reading, because it just keeps getting better as it goes. - ubergoober - Apr-08-2014

Xena | Alternative | Romance (alt) | Novel - 255 pages | Finished | Apr-09 Links: The Bards Corner @ AUSXIP                Part 3 of the Negotiations Series Series List: Negotiations, Complications, Invitations
This story picks up a few days after the events in the second story, Complications.
All I can say without spoiling is... Great continuation, great read. - H.W. - Apr-26-2009    All three of the stores in this series (Negotiations, Complications, Invitations) were GREAT, and I read them back-to-back. This bard's perspective on the many facets of Xena's personality was fantastic and different from any other Conqueror story I have read. Gin also give us a different Gabrielle as she weaves the story about the connection\relationship between these two women. Definitly worth the lost sleep ;-) - Anita - Apr-30-2009    Great Conqueror story. One of its many pluses is that unlike so many others the author actually completed the story. Good work Gin. Would like to read more from her. - Anonymous - Feb-13-2011    Incredible series, well worth taking the time to read all three tales. It was so good I hated seeing them come to an end. Do yourself a favor read and enjoy. - ubergoober - Apr-08-2014    Incredible series, well worth taking the time to read all three tales. It was so good I hated seeing them come to an end.

Negotiations by Gin     

Conqueror | Ancient | Alternative | Romance (alt) | Short Story - 38 pages | Finished | Apr-09 Links: The Bards Corner @ AUSXIP                Part 1 of the Negotiations Series Series List: Negotiations, Complications, Invitations
Set on invading the Amazons, the Conqueror is intrigued by their offer of peace. She travels to their village for a meeting with the queen, but things don't go according to plan once she meets Queen Gabrielle. What surprises and life changing events will the negotiations hold.
I loved it. One of the best Conqueror stories ever written. - Adilp - Apr-24-2009    I have read a lot of fanfic. Thousands of stories. This was one of the first I ever read and after reading it the first time I wanted to grow up to write like Gin. Almost a decade later it is still firmly in my all time top ten. It is a conqueror without slave or mistresses, is still sexy and sweet, that loves the characters and yet still makes them new and reads as smoothly as a perfect dream. - Kamouraskan - Apr-24-2009    I think this is finished. - Lysia - Apr-24-2009    This series is right up there with the best, if not 'the' best. Gabrielle is different than we see her in most stories. And the approach to Xena is nothing more than a masterpiece. In one word? Exelent. - H.W. - Apr-26-2009    This is the first part of a wonderful triology, not to be missed. - mjf - Apr-26-2009    This series was an awesome read. I've never read a Conqueror series like this one. Kudos to Gin. - Nikko - Jul-13-2009    great trilogy. really enjoyed the different twist on xena's personality. also enjoyed gabrielle being a mature, wise, compassionate Queen. Hope there is more to follow. - Anonymous - Nov-14-2009    I love this trilogy. This was the first set of long stories I read so many years ago, and I still re-read it again and again. - Purplehawke - Apr-01-2011    a very different take on the conqueror genre.. it is kind of sweet.. - xtra dog - Mar-14-2012    6YLh8F Wow, great blog post.Really thank you! Fantastic. - http://crork.com/ - Jun-18-2012    Very good,well written story. It was so good I had a hard time putting it down when I had to. I definitely recommend reading this tale. - ubergoober - Apr-08-2014
