The Bard's Corner is MaryD's Xena fanfiction archive. It's invitation-only and hosts some of the best fanfic in the Xenaverse. The archive is mainly subtext in nature, which means there is a strong femslash focus (or alt, as it's called in the Xenaverse). There are stories which are not subtext but the majority are subtext/maintext fiction.
Fanfiction and original stories are listed by author and genre.
The archive features The Xippy Awards. These are basically MaryD's recommendations. There is also a section for Bards in Print, authors who started out writing Xena fanfiction and who have ventured out into the publishing world.
