I was having a nice chat with a friend today about being in the Xenaverse since forever. Along the way I found out he had AUSXIP's very first banner (why he kept this banner is a mystery to me) Thanks Saul! You're a worse pack rat than me!




You will all notice that AUSTRALIAN is missing from the banner although I did pick a very nice photo of our dynamic duo..I still like that photo; it's one of my favourites. Can't say much about the font or the bevilled banner (I was obsessed by bevilled images for some odd reason..good thing I grew out of that phase <g>)

I wasn't very creative about the name either but then what I really wanted to call the site was Down Under Xena (now obviously I didn't use that for very obvious reasons but the appreviation was fun DUX)

Seems like a lifetime ago...

As most of you are aware, AUSXIP has launched an auction to raise money for one of our own, Kim Pritekel who needs eye saving surgery. One of my biggest fears is losing my sight and I think that goes for many people. Faced with such a prospect and knowing there is something you can do to fix it but being unable to do so has to be such a terrible tangle. Kim finds herself in this position and that is why AUSXIP has come on board to help out.

While I was in New Zealand, Mesh has taken this under her wing and has set up the AUSXIP Auction page with over 158 items (and more to come). Bards and fans have banded together in donating items for this auction. I love this fandom and one of the major reasons is that it supports its own, the stars of the show and anyone remotely associated with Xena. For the Greator Good in this case is for one of our own. Thank you to everyone who contributed and who has bid/is bidding. There is also a paypal button on the auction site if you want to donate without bidding.

If you have previous registered for AUSXIP Auctions, you can bid on the items using the same username and password. If not, you can register by going here and if you are not sure what your username and password is - please go here

Mesh sent the following note about the latest auction updates:

Hi guys,

Last night MaryD's books were added alongside Susan Meagher's SF series. Today more signed and unsigned titles followed by CL Hart, Chris Anne Wolfe, Paula Christian and others. In the process of adding the last (rather large) batch of unsigned books.

Please make sure to start at the CATEGORY LIST at the following link, that way you won't scratch your head as to what is signed and what isn't.

I love this fandom.

Time to do some housekeeping...the links section has been cleaned up with the following:

  Updated Favourite Sites Page and Removed Broken Links
  Added new General Link site to The Seeker's Omnibus
  Added new Multimedia site: Lucy and Renee HQ
  Changed link to Angie's Cure for XWS

  Removed Sword and Staff Site Link - site is no longer active. The old Sword and Staff site has been taken over by some other people and it's not the same Sword & Staff that Mist so lovingly took care of. 

There's been a few additions and a few changes...you may have noticed the new banner...thought the site needed a bit of a freshen up so the main AUSXIP page has been given the new banner and also the winners of the AUSXIP Talking Xena Banner competitions for Lucy and Renee's sites have also been chosen. Beautiful banners for both sites!

Mesh has been busy creating and has some very exciting news for Stacy Haiduk fans who can now email Stacy via and AUSXIP.org email account and it will be answered by Stacy. Check out Mesh's note below. Stacy has also graciously contributed exclusive images with more on the way. Lots of good stuff.

Mesh writes: The AUSXIP Network site dedicated to Stacy Haiduk now features a set of exclusive photos, with more on the way. You may remember Stacy as Lana on Superboy, Lt. Hitchcock on SeaQuest, or Lisa Tabak on the last season of Prison Break. She's been on shows ranging from All My Children to The X-Files, she currently stars on The Young and the Restless as the vulnerable whacko Mary Jane.

Stacy has decided to open a fan mail account with AUSXIP, you're welcome to email her if you liked her in any or all her roles.

Come on over and check out the site and don't be shy, email Stacy, she'd love to hear from you.

For Erin Cummings fans, the new site dedicated to the Bitch Slap and Spartacus star is now online. Erin is a super cool lady and I'm very pleased to be adding this new site to AUSXIP. The GORGEOUS banner was created by Mesh.
