How To Write Xena Fan Fiction is an essay by Joanna Sandsmark.
It was posted to Whoosh! #25 in 1998.
It is a tongue-in-cheek poke at formulaic fanifc and written in the style of a multiple choice test.
"So you wanna be a bard, but you don't want to spend hours at the computer, thinking really hard about all sorts of annoying things like plot, dialogue, characterization, point of view, grammar, etc. No problem! It's really quite easy, if you know the formula. All you have to do is fill in the blanks. Let me show you."
