WEDNESDAY FAN FICTION REPORT - 5/14/97
[Previous report was for 5/13/97]

Hi guys,

For all of you who enjoy XWP alternative fan fiction, there is a new
award now available from DAX's OBSESSION Web site called "The Silver
Lath" which will be given on a monthly basis to the best alternative
fan fiction story on the Web. A list will be kept of all the award
winners at the site which is located at:

http://members.aol.com/BardicFic/fanfic/lath.htm

Winners will be selected by the readers themselves through a monthly
vote. I urge ALL of FF readers out there to cast a vote for your
favorite alt. story each month. This is one nice way we can bring
recognition to our hard-working bards. You can vote by going to the
site or by sending an e-mail message to bardicfic@aol.com with
"the name of the story, the author's name and email addy, where it
can be located, and anything you might like to say about the story."

Tonight we have the beginning of a new series. The first entry
reviewed below would fall under GENERAL FICTION:

THE JOURNAL (by Gabrielle of Potadeia as translated by Shelley
Sullivan) Do NOT under any circumstances miss this WONDERFUL new
feature at MaryD's XWP INFORMATION PAGE. Thanks to the efforts of
one VERY talented translator Shelley Sullivan, the Journal of
Gabrielle of Potadeia, bard extraordinaire, Amazon Queen and friend
of Xena the Warrior Princess, is now finally being made public. The
Journal exists in parts written in a series of ancient parchments
and follows the adventures of Gabrielle and the reformed warlord
from the time they first met. In the weeks and months to come
Shelley will be translating these parchments for us all to enjoy.
First up:

*JOURNAL #1 - Gabrielle meets the Warrior Princess, learns about
life on the road, starts to use her bardic skills in earnest and gets
a sobbering lesson in what it means to kill. This journal covers the
events depicted in the TV episodes SINS OF THE PAST, CHARIOTS OF WAR,
and DREAMWORKER.
