Historian's Rants about Xena: Warrior Princess Fan Fiction is an essay by Linda Knighton with research notes by Marilynn Masten.

It was posted to Whoosh! #46 in 2000.

"I have a BA in historical research. As a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism for over 10 years, I notice things. I am going to start with the things that bug me the most. However, I will not point out the works of specific bards to do it. That would be mean."

"I loveXena fanfic. Much of it is thoughtful, beautiful, funny, outrageous, and speaks a deeper truth. It would mean a lot to me if some of the bards would indulge me and try for a bit more historical accuracy."
