GENERAL FICTION:

TWILIGHT'S PROMISE by Raistlyn
A sequel to IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR which tells the story from Gabrielle's perspective as she remembers the last time she saw the Warrior Princess some three thousand years before and thinks about all the centuries she's spent searching for her since.

AFTER I DIED by JS Stephens
Short little tale set after the events in the first season episode IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE which has a recuperating Gabrielle talking with Xena about their friendship. Good depiction of the relationship at this stage of the game. [Note: story includes some very mild subtext] -- 5 pgs.

ALTERNATIVE FICTION:

DARK PROMISE by Katrina and Sharon Bowers
Chapter 10 of this story is now available. This latest entry in Katrina's BLOOD AND ROSES SERIES promises to be one wild, fun ride. A crossover tale featuring the characters from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, this story has Buffy getting quite a surprise when she meets Willow's aunts who aside from having the same names as a couple of popular TV characters, also keep setting off the slayer's hypersensitive senses. In this latest chapter the daughters of Bacchus and Ares spend a little...quality time in Sunnydale ;-). Katrina and Sharon's characterizations are on the money and will delight fans of both series although this is entertaining even if you only watch one of them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! [unfinshed] -- 4 pgs.

Happy reading!
