Bards to Look Out For is jtd's Xena: Warrior Princess recommendation site. It was renamed Bards, Books & Reviews in order to better accomodate new reviews. To make updating easier, jtd rearranged the page so that it includes links to subpages for a number of different genres - Xena and Voyager fanfic as well as book reviews.[2] All recommendations on their respective fandom pages are sorted by author.
The page is subtext friendly and a member of the Merpup WebRing.
From Lunacy's Fan Fiction Reviews: "Features a listing of selected bards with reviews of favorite stories, online bibliographies, excerpts from stories and links to related sites."[3]
The Bards to Look Out For version of the site featured the following bards:
Where available, the bard pages link to interviews hosted on other sites.
While the recs in the Xena section are all X/G or uber, the Voyager section includes het recs as well.
- I need to explain a bit of my policy with the Voyager stories, I think.
- I do not discriminate. I love the B'Elanna / Paris pairing as much as the Janeway / Seven one. That means that the dedicated reader will find "straight" as well as "alternative" stories reviewed here. I will not assume that just because a story has an "alt" pairing in it, it should automatically get an NC-17 slapped onto it. Love is love is love. Alright?
- To that end, stories that find two characters in bed together, or at least sizzlingly in love with each other, separate the characters with a slash, like this Janeway / Seven. Stories that revolve around two characters who do not have sex or the hots for each other separate the characters by a comma like this Janeway, Chakotay. As always, the lines are blurring, but after all, you gotta read those stories yourselves, anyway. ;-)
- I marked stories that I particularly like with a star.[4]
Bards to Look Out For aka Bards, Books & Reviews went offline at the end of 2008.
