  Long day...need sleep....But hey ER is on this week!Oh I almost forgot. Got another nasty letter. No I don't get them often, but when I do.... Anyway, it said: (I will not say who it is from)
  I have been reading a lot of stories in the past few weeks that are unfinished or tried to go to stories that no longer exist. Can't you clean up the site and get rid of this stuff so we all don't waste our time? This is the mild version of how I feel. I am very upset at how many unfinished stories I've read that are a few years old and should be cleaned out. And, at least half of the titles I click on are no longer available.
  I think CN Winters, Barry, the reporters and I put alot of hard work on a daily basis into this site. Lots of sites have closed down, but neither me or the others have time to go and 'clean out' everything. SO I am posting a message to anyone else who feels this way. You dont like something on the site volunteer your time and effort to help clean it up. Or,if its that bad, dont read the stories from here! Ok, enough said!

  Remember, tell someone you love them!

• Spellbound by Annemaart on Merwolf's Academy of Bard [postFIN/alt/unfinished]
  It's hard to give a short description of this story without giving away parts of the plot. Lemme just stick with saying that: yes, this is another one of those post-FIN tales, but I'd like to think this one is different. This story isn't about getting Xena reheaded (though I'll admit that's what it started out to be right in the beginning). It's about stuff like redemption, true sacrifices and how sometimes little things, insignificant events that will fade and disappear from the memories of most, can be far more meaningful than grand battles for 40.000 souls. It's about things that I felt FIN didn't deal with properly. If you're looking for a light read, this ain't it. This story is dark and pretty complex. It's gonna have its comedy moments, but in the end it's gonna deal with some tough issues. You might like it. And you might not. Either way, I'll hope this'll make for an interesting read.

• One Flew Over The Chakrams Nest (Complete)by Stacia Seaman on MaryD's site. (Alt / Uber)
  It's intentional, folks. The goal is to make it as clichÈ-ridden, in a humorous way, as I possibly can. It's not meant as a slight at bards or their stories, 'cause without them, this never would have been written.

• Chakram Toss (Complete)by Stacia Seaman on MaryD's site. (Alt)
  So, here's a thought. Younger Gabrielle. Xena is .... well, somewhere. A tavern. Trying to gather information. She isn't allowed in with her weapons, so she's left them -- along with Gabrielle -- in the stable. Gabrielle, ticked at not being allowed inside the tavern and wondering what the big deal is anyway, gets herself some wine and drinks herself silly. After trying (and failing) to converse with Argo, she decides to play a game. She rams Xena's sword into the stable floor and starts tossing the chakram at it, trying to get a bullseye. Not being a warrior, she's not facing the door to the stable. In fact, she's on the ground in an empty stall. So it begins...

  Hi everyone. It was a very sad day all over the world yesterday. I can't believe a year has gone by. A whole year!! I listened to the announcements of names going to work and at work. I fell apart when they mentioned Pam. I was hoping that maybe they wouldn't say her name and I would find out it was all a mistake. But it is for real. I was shot the whole day. Still am. In the evening my son called me into his room and asked me if me can have a family moment of silence. I said sure. He started to cry, and I hugged him and told him to smile, that Pam was a angel. I also told him(which is very true) that Pam was not scared to die. She always said she felt heaven was going to be a beautiful place. Well Pam heaven is a beautiful place, especially now that they have you there too. I know life must go on, but we WILL NEVER FORGET!!

  On a happier note, even though I am really not happy. I did have a nice vacation. My son is home and back to school. I am well rested but do have a cold. Hope I was missed(g).

  Liberty news:
  Sigh. Need I say more? I think the team is going to do a lot of changing next year. And maybe, just maybe we will make it to the top. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride!

• To my American Friends from Darien (Cyrene):
  
  Last year on this day for you and tomorrow for us in New Zealand a terrible event happened to America and to all Americans. We were all devastated. I can't believe a year has passed. It will seem far less to all of you involved. At the time I was in Wellington rehearsing for a play, a comedy, and it was the hardest thing to concentrate at all. We were in shock, the whole of New Zealand was in shock and I wrote to all my Pasadena friends ...those I sang to, and talked to, and met ...to express my deepest sympathy and also my love for you at that time. I felt honoured and deeply humbled to receive so many replys and all moved me to tears. I thankyou for that privilege, to be allowed to share some of what you felt. Today and Tomorrow are big days. It is very quiet here already. Is it quiet there as you grieve again? Our Firefighters will be flying their flags half mast tommorrow and there will be candles lit and we are all remembering. Remembering .Not forgotten. Please accept my love and special thoughts to you all again and hope the pain will ease little by little.( Our Kevin is there too.)
  Aroha, much love from Darien xxxxxxxxxxxxx
