And
It's Only Love reviewed by Lunacy and Cee REVISED
"A gut-wrenching journey of the heart that finds
the warrior and bard on a quest to return a young boy, abducted years
before by his father, to the mother who's been desperately searching
for him ever since. The mission is one that opens up old wounds for
them both recalling the children they themselves once gave up and
the guilt they have yet to come to terms with - a very sophisticated,
sensitive treatment of the characters" - Lunacy
"This is a poignant, moving story that is beautifully
told. Recommended." - Cee

"Talk about hitting the mark dead center! This
little piece does double duty, rather succinctly summarizing the Xena
TV series and serving as a tribute to a couple of unforgettable characters
who are fortunately quite capable of rising above the senseless quagmire
they're so frequently immersed in these days. Perfect. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"Set in Amphipolis, this charming new tale has
Xena taking her beloved bard on a "first date" with a little
help from one playful thief, a beautiful night sky, and one very romantic
setting. Wonderful! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!" - Lunacy
"How can a *guy*, no matter how sensitive and New
Age he may be, write such excellent, poignant, funny, but most of
all, like, right on Xena fan fiction? What is this world coming to?
Should we start expecting the toilet seat to be lowered down as well?
Lord! An excellent short story. A vignette really, but with enough
feeling and wit in it to keep you more than satisfied. A characteristic
of Kams body of work, wonderful Xena and Gabrielle characterizations,
are present in full force. This is a tender story, a vision of the
kind of future Xena and Gabrielle deserved to see together."

"Kamouraskan gives us a complicated plot that includes
guessing games, possible betrayals, and the unpredictable behavior
of a god or two. In addition to some great action, we also get a nice
look at the changing relationship in the earlier years of the show.
It's a well-told tale that would have made an excellent episode on
the small screen. Recommended." - Cee

Judgment
reviewed by Lunacy
"Every once in a while comes along a story that
elevates fanfic beyond the level of entertainment. Featuring some
of the most effective writing this bard has ever delivered, this tale
casts a spell that will pull you in and then leave you feeling much
of the same shock and horror the characters themselves end up immersed
in. Definitely not one for the faint-hearted but certainly one for
those who appreciate meaningful storytelling. DO NOT MISS!" -

Aphrodite decides to fulfill our heroes' wish that they
"know what it's like to be each other," so she swaps their
minds and bodies, but leaves their inimitable emotions and abilities
and an impractical joke moustache in place. But she leaves them without
the ability to control those feelings that they have built up over
the years. So what happens when you have a six foot Gabrielle, feeling
Xena's first season emotions, and a Xena with serious payback issues
with the bard?

Gabrielle forces Xena to become territorial.

Dr. ah...Firefly and his sidekick 'Tiger', and that's all I'm gonna
tell you so go read the story. :-)" - Shadowfen

"A MUST READ for my fellow Gab fans, this lovely

is doing her bard thing while the warrior scouts the place looking
for some much-needed companionship for the evening. Little does the
unsuspecting Xena know that her partner knows exactly what she's up
to and isn't about to stand by while her luscious warrior cajoles

burglar extraordinaire Ellis up on a high-rise using his skills to
position a listening device on an apartment window while below a friend
awaits...and a stranger watches. Sixteen year old Jules is a spunky
little blonde determined to prove the corruption she's certain is
going around her, and hoping with Ellis' help she can prevent one
soul from once again getting destroyed by that corruption. Alex is
a very tough, street savvy young woman determined to protect the territory
she sees as her own and certain she will be rewarded by those she's
pledged her loyalty to. Ellis will find himself dropping right in
the middle of a fateful confrontation between these two young women
as two ancient souls renew their struggle to be together - this time
threatened by very modern and very deadly dangers." - Lunacy

COLLABORATIONS:
As Good As
It Gets with Lariel reviewed by Cee REVISED
"As Good As It Gets offers a unique twist on the
Xena story. It features Xena and Gabrielle as modern day office employees.
The story is told with the same cast of characters from the series,
including Darphus, Borias, and Callisto as they challenge each other
in the cutthroat world of office politics. Told in a very tongue-in-cheek
style, there are some very funny moments, including the funniest character
development for Perdicus I've ever read. It's definitely recommended."

The Empire is crumbling and a struggle for power is
about to begin. Dark forces are converging, and crucial choices have
to be made. But which choice is the right one? And what difference
can a streetsmart kid from Corinth and an insane prisoner make anyway,
against forces which draw their power from the evil of the earth?
The Muses Retreat
written with Lariel reviewed by Gabwhackers
"This spoof of fan fiction mailing lists and the bards and ego
strokers that frequent them, is right on the money. A lurker on many
lists, Ive seen this sort of thing first hand, and the treatment
given by Kamouraskan and Lariel was enough to have me spitting coke
at my monitor, not in jeering, but in laughter. With a wacky, larger
than life cast of characters... Xena and Gabrielles stay at
the Muses Retreat, as well as their bet to see who could get kicked
out first, is told with fine comedic skill. I mean, Xena reciting
poetry is not something to be missed." - Gabwhackers
