31 December
Well this is the last update for the century - may all of you have a safe new year's eve and if you want to find out what happening in good ol Sydney town...tune into CNN and watch the fireworks! For those that will tune in - if you catch sight of the word "Eternity" on the Sydney Harbour Bridge there is this great story that goes with it. If you want to know - email me and I will tell it. Its a story about faith and a man who loved the idea of Eternity.
I want to take a moment in thanking everyone who has made AXIP so enjoyable to update. Your kind thoughts and wishes spur me along. Some days it's tough and then I would get an email saying how much they enjoy the show and this site - it's a tonic. I would also like to thank Judi Mair and Carol Stephens for their never ending support, the screengrabs and avi files these two have managed during the year and their friendship is beyond words that I can manage. I want to thank Lucia for creating cartoons that just make you smile and had me roaring on occasions with her wonderful cartoony jokes (you guys will have to wait and see the one of Victor the Raptor eating Xena) I want to thank Shari for always being there when I mess things up and not waiting until I'm awake to fix the errors and for being such a dear friend. Many thanks to Dee for her hardworking efforts with the artwork section and BL Miller for reorganising The Bard's Corner (that was one tough job let me tell you).
I would like to especially thank the bards that make up The Bard's Corner for sharing their talent.
To the many many people who send me reports from all over the world to keep AXIP well informed and up to date and the scanning of articles and pictures. Thank you to everyone who has made this site a pleasure to update. I look forward to 2000 and the rest of the season and the 6th season.
So as we go towards the new millennium may all of you be safe and may only good things come to you and yours
God bless
MaryD

Bad news for Dutch Fans:
They will be joining Aussie fans in not having Xena on the tv. Veronica TV which airred the show has cancelled it due to low ratings starting from January 1. Petra de Jong advised that the Dutch Xena Fan Club will probably organise a petition to get the show back on air. If you want to voice your complaint here is the email address publiek@veronica.nl (Remember: BE POLITE).The following is from Andrew of Andrew's Xenaverse Page
Andrew has some new Xena infographics up on his site that are great! Check them out

http://users.tamuk.edu/andrew.ramirez/media/humor/12.22.99-chakram.html
And something is quite unique to the xenaverseIt's the Xenaverse's very first all-Xena radio
station! It broadcasts on the weekends and streams right over the internet. Nothing but Xena related music plays (music clips from the show, parodies from SNL, bits and tracks from various Xena CD soundtracks, etc.). Something different and my way of giving a little
something back to the 'verse! Take a peek at it at:

13 December
I want to take a moment to remember someone who touched my life and who passed away on Friday. I didn't know her well - we were starting to form a friendship. Her name was Maria Poulos and she was killed on Friday by a drunk driver. Maria was a xenite. A very special xenite. She belonged to the Gabrielle and Joxer Romantic Society Mailing List where she made many friends and was well loved. I met her for lunch and we formed a friendship but through the actions of one drunk man she was killed. She left behind a loving family - her brother Chris and her mum and dad.
The GJRS list moderator, Nancy, has created a beautiful memorium to Maria that I would like to pass on. It's a beautiful way to say goodbye.
http://members.xoom.com/gjrs/memoriam.htmlMaria left me with the image of a woman with the courage of her convictions and the trait of treating others with respect - no matter whether they were Joxer fans, Subtext fans or any other kind of Xenite fan.
Death is not the end...for we live on in the memory of others...I think Maria touched alot of people.
May you rest in peace Maria. Please remember if you drink PLEASE DON'T DRIVE. I implore you to do the right thing and don't put yourself in danger or others by doing this stupid act. One death from this stupid act is one too many.
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.
I am dedicating today's update to Maria -- a friendship borne out of a love for a show and a tragic waste of a life that held so much promise.

Why isn't Lucy or Renee going to the convention in Pasadena? The following is from Sharon Delaney:
Because of Lucy's pregnancy, a lot of the eps they've been making are Xena-lite. Now that she's back, they're doing as many Xena-heavy eps as possible. The production company tried very hard to schedule a Gab-lite ep during the time of the convention so Renee would be free to come, but they just couldn't make it work and still be able to accomplish all they need to to finish the season.Sharon

Message from Sword 'n' Quill about Desert Storm
"I really appreciate all the feedback I've been getting on this piece, but what I said wasn't a pity cry. At all. :)"Sword & Staff Notice
Help Out This Holiday SeasonI am in possession of approximately 50 letters addressed to "Santa Claus" that I picked up at the post office today. I've read through them, and what is most surprising is that while some of the letters were written by children, far more than I would have expected are written by adults who cannot afford to provide toys and clothing for their children this holiday season. I was expecting to see requests for toys and games, but I was surprised at the types of items being requested: clothing, bed sheets, coats, shoes, and other essential items.
So, what I am asking is, does anyone want to adopt a child or a family this holiday season? If you would like to buy a toy or clothing for a child and then mail it to their home, please contact me at cassetta@ix.netcom.com and I will send you a name and address as well as what was asked for in the letter to Santa.
If you are unable to participate by sending a gift but would still like to make a difference in the lives of some very needy children this year, please feel free to send a check payable to Children At Heart and help provide food and other necessary articles for orphaned and abandoned children in several Russian orphanages. 100% of your donation will be spent on the children. No administrative fees will be deducted the agency.
If you'd like to participate, you can mail your donation for Children At Heart to me at:
