MEG'S by Jim Kuntz
A sequel to Jim's THE JOURNEY, this story finds the warrior and bard continuing to grow closer as they visit an old friend and become determined to help her find the happiness they themselves have discovered. Jim gives the Xena/Gab relationship a charming easiness and tenderness, made more so by the steeliness which he nevertheless maintains in the warrior's characterization. Entertaining with some nicely dramatic moments. [See the sequel THE LION'S WALL] - 18 pgs., 3/17/99

**MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS by PatsBard
PatsBard offers us a very sweet take on the relationship and a surprisingly vulnerable characterization of the Warrior Princess in a hurt/comfort story that has Gabrielle caring for her partner after a squirmish leaves Xena without any memories of her past. Without the usual barriers in place, the warrior soon acts on the affection and attraction she feels for the young bard setting the stage for the two to finally give in to the feelings they've been supressing much too long. Nicely written feel-good story. DO NOT MISS! - 14 pgs., 6/12/99

**METAMORPHOSIS by Angharad Governal
This bard's debut on the web comes with a very well-written story full of potential set in the world of Xena the Conqueror where the deadly empress is getting ready to extend her empire while a determined resistance looks for ways to stop her. Part of that resistance, Gabrielle is well aware of the woman's cruelty but convinced despite it that Xena's death is not the answer - not for their world...and not for herself. To prove it she's willing to risk it all - even the possibility of an agonizing death on a merciless cross. This is a riveting story with terrific characterizations and a very intriguing, carefully crafted storyline certain to entice even more readers into the genre. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! [unfinished] - 19 pgs., 12/31/98
