Some Excerpts
The show has had a tremendous impact on my life. It opened up a new world for me, especially when my writing started to get popular enough to warrant continuation. A person I met at my first Xena Convention in 1999 told me about fan fiction, she has since become a close friend and one of my betas. The subtext on the show gave me a relationship to watch on a weekly basis that was steeped in love, understanding, and mutual admiration-- it was awesome! I also came out of my shell a lot as I began conversing with people via the Internet and then finally in person. My partner and I have a new group of friends that we share common bonds with and enjoy meeting with on a weekly basis, even though the friendships started with the single bond of being deeply involved in watching the television show Xena. The show actually became a turning point in my life and allowed what had once been a dream that had been laid aside begin to again flourish and finally to come to fruition.
[How I feel about the show's end?]: Panicky, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself at 7:40 on Sunday mornings, sleep in I guess. The show has been such a big part of my life these past few years. I'm really depressed about it ending. In fact we're throwing a Wake on the day of the last episode. I expect a lot of tears, and then we'll all drown ourselves in sun, fun, and companionship. We'll be drinking mimosas during the show, so that ought to help some. When it's over, I'll have all the videos lined up in the living by the 52" TV. We'll start with SINS OF THE PAST (01/101) and whoever is in the room when the episodes end will have the job of putting the next one on until we come to the end again.
