Well, I have a torn up apart bathroom at the moment. I decided to totally
remodel the main bathroom in the house to make it more user friendly for my
mom and others - walk in bathtub, dual flush toilet, heated floor, towel
warmer, the works. I had hoped most of the work would be done while I was in
New Orleans. For those of you who have had work like this done, you can stop
laughing any time. I came back to a totally unusable bathroom which, in the
week and a half I've been back, now has new plumbing, the new medicine
cabinet, electricity, and finally, today, a ceiling! Still no toilet or
bathtub. Still no new walls. Still the old floor. I think you get the
picture. At least there's some good fiction to which one can escape.

Essay by Star Dawn on The Athenaeum
This is not a story... but rather an analytical view of Xena and Argo and
their relationship to each other. I found this to be a fascinating subject,
and through this research discovered a lot of depth in their relationship
that I didn't realize before. Many of us use this relationship to our
advantage when writing our stories, and I bet most of us don't even realize
that we are doing it... but I challenge each of you to think about this
special relationship and how Argo really effects the portrayal of Xena.

Hi all. Sorry for the delayed update. Despite the heat and humidity, I
survived my conference in New Orleans, thanks to really good food! It was
interesting how some restaurants still had all the different seafoods
available and some didn't. This was especially true of oysters and, we were
told, shrimp will be next on the list of no longer available and both were
linked to the oil spill.

Lord Conqueror: Changes by Kennedy Northcutt on Merwolf's Academy of

Xena has been Conqueror of the Known World, ruler of Greece and the most
feared warrior in all the land, for a number of years. Bored with her duties
at the keep at Surra, she takes a side trip to the small village of Potidea,
where her entire world changes forever. She meets a feisty young village
girl -an orphan storyteller with a heart of gold and the courage to stand up
to her. The one person in all of Greece who will surely steal the
Conqueror's heart and turn her world upside down is the one who will change
her utterly and completely. Gabrielle's life has never been easy. She
watched helplessly as her family's livelihood was stolen by raiders and her
father disappeared without a trace. After narrowly escaping slavers who took
her friends, she and her sister then watched their mother slowly waste away
and die. But little did they know the worst was yet to come. One day, their
village was visited by the dreaded Conqueror and nothing could prepare them
for the changes to come.

Emilie Fitzpatrick is a strange girl; she still shares a room with her older
sister, is obsessed with death, and is very dark and broody. Although she
seems tough, we find her in a place where she is confused, and feels as
though she's missing something in her life, watching it pass by her. Even
with these pessimistic thoughts, Emilie surely sees a ray of hope, and it's
name is Brigitte Sinclair. Within the story we see her pining away after the
beautiful blond, but when something unexplainable and phenomenal happen
between the two girls, will Emilie finally realize what was missing within
her the whole time?
