  Hi! I want to wish Shana and Kye of Shana's Xena Reviews and Commentaries, and happy birthday as well!! Shana is the same day as mine, and Kye is today!!! How cool!!!

  THank you everyone for having patience with me with this update. I am wiped from work!

• Blurb Whats New???
  A Message from JLynn Blurb Webmistress
  
  Whoops!: Right off the top, I am compelled by my conscience (and a gentle nudge) to share with you all the fact that I buggered up. Turns out that the story I posted to the BvtS section last week was NOT our first ever. The lovely and ever kind Angharad Governal (who created this site originally btw) pointed out that she posted something to Blurb eons ago; a XWP/BtvS crossover entitled "Dark Promise" by Katrina and Sharon Bowers. That said, I shall hurry on over and cross-reference that sucker to the Buffy section asap so the Scoobie fans don't miss out...

  Gabwhacked! The Gabwhacker's Review section is now up, operational and furnished with the first installment of several reviews by Gabwhacker's Zeen. The first to fall under the -er - knife are:
  --Caution: Under Construction By Vertigo
  --Persistence By Alex Tryst (Not Uber, Finished)
  --Amazon Truths By Shana and Kye
  

  Links Updated: We found that a couple of our links were dead, so we waved our Xena doll over 'em and - whaddya know - they're fixed :) It's true what they say: nothing stays dead in the Xenaverse.
