Clonefic
Part 1 by Phantombard on Merwolf's Academy of Bards [alt/finished]
(44 pages, part 1 of 3, Revised Version). The TV series, Xena Warrior Princess
gave rise to a number of memorable characters. First are Xena, the Warrior
Princess, and her soulmate, Gabrielle, the Amazon Queen. Perhaps the most
popular variations on their characters are Janice Covington and Melinda Pappas.
Beyond these four archetypal figures stand Annie and Mattie and the Clones.
The episode settings imply that Annie and Mattie are contemporaries of the
Clones, with all four living in modern times, but the souls of Xena and Gabrielle
seem to reside with Annie and Mattie. So, what of the Clones? Who are they,
really? Are they merely simulacra, or the closest things to Xena and Gabrielle
in the modern world? Consulting "Bring In The Clones" for their backstory
leaves some gaping holes and suggests some answers. It is from those answers
that this story grows. The story demands a more plausible history for the
Warrior Princess and the Bard of Potidaea. Previously, all we knew about
Xena and Gabrielle came from the TV series. Their adventures were dramatized
by the production company from translations of scrolls found by Covington
and Pappas. Only now can the truth be told, by those individuals who can
lay claim to it in the first person. Meet the real soulmates. (Revised Version
11/30/2003, original contest version, 2/27/2003).
