RIFT (THE) OR SAPPHO WAS A RIGHT-ON SURFER CHICK by Anima -- [Alt]
A delightful comedy of errors that once again proves the originality Xenite bards are capable of, this new offering by Anima has Xena and the bard in a funk, still unable to completely recover from the horrors of the rift and fearing that perhaps their relationship will not survive. Determined to at least look for a solution the two decide to take a vacation on the island of Lesbos where they are soon meeting the Tenth Muse herself, Sappho and discovering a wild new sport involving some wooden boards, big ocean waves, and rather strange modifications to their language ;-) Meanwhile, undetected by them, Aphrodite and Cupid are doing the rounds, spreading love and doing mischief - including one particular little faux-pas that soon has major repercussions for the sadly distant lovers. Well-written and highly entertaining, this story is very much in keeping with the spirit of the TV series - mixing emotional moments with quirky humor in a winning combination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - 39 pgs., 9/15/98

**THREE NAKED BARDS … OH MY! (THE QUILL IS MIGHTIER—THE DIRECTOR’S CUT) by Anima -- [Alt]
Anima rewrites the ending of the episode THE QUILL IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD into what is admittedly a rather twisted but very cute and surprisingly poignant version of the first time story. The tale has Xena on her way back from that strange and rather abrupt fishing expedition she was compelled to go on when to her shock she runs into a naked, dancing Gabrielle. Before long the Warrior Princess finds herself trying to keep three VERY friendly nude versions of her friend safe, and trying to steel her own heart against their innocent assault on it. Anima blends wicked humor with some touching revelations here to produce a story fated to go in your "guilty pleasures" file ;-) A well-written episode tie-in that comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - 9 pgs., 11/28/98
