If you are a bard on TBC and would like your email changed or any other corrections made to your work - please email BL Miller on BMiller@banet.net. BL will also be streamlining the stories that in parts - on occasions you may get faulty links - BL will be working on those as well. If you find a faulty link with any fanfic story please email BL with the name of the story and the part where it didn't link. I will be added new fanfic as it comes through and trying not to get my assistant's ire up by incorrectly linking parts :-)
I would also like to announce that Dee who is currently doing the Artwork on XIP will also take over my Star Trek Fan Fiction site.

27 February
I was reading the paper this morning and up popped this headline on the PAGE 13
column in the Daily Telegraph "Mardi Gras set to be a LAWLESS
affair". It was about tonight's Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and Lucy
Lawless. Click here to read article -
they claim that Renee will also be present. This isn't what I've heard and I sure hope her
sources are right :-)
If you want to watch out for Lucy you can see it on the web http://netcast.mardigras.com.au
The parade starts at 8:00 pm Sydney Time

Xenite you would know that Lucy has paid a visit or two to this club in New York! Well I
just got word that they have opened their doors..on the web!

Added gorgeous photos taken through the lens of Wendy Sparks! These photos are exclusive to the Xena Information Page and I'm very excited to be showcasing them.
The Bard's Corner additions:
TRIVIA TIME:
Season 2 Tapes: Okay to those who have the tapes I did a triple take on the cover for Warrior Princess Tramp...the people at Real Entertainment did a major boo-boo. They have the picture of the PRIESTESS Leah instead of a pic of Meg! LOL! It's a pic of Leah from where they are about to burn her. Now I know I'm obssessed about this show but it's quite obvious to any fan that it's the wrong pic!! Okay enough laughing at Real Entertainment :-) Pwaise Hestia!
23 February
For Aussies: Entertainment Tonight used to be shown on Channel 9 but TPTB have decided that Aussies would like a locally produced show so Richard Wilkens will be hosting this show. What this means for Aussie Xenites is that we may never see the Lucy/Renee/Xena segments on the new ET because...the show is on Channel 10 and ET (Aussie version) is on Channel 9.
Artwork Updates - Updated by Dee
20 February
I'm pleased to welcome Dana "Amazon Girl" Cory to The Bard's Corner
In the "Where Has He Gone Department"
Dan Ma from XenaMedia.com has informed me
that XenaMedia.com is not dead..only appears that way as his web host yanked his site! You
can reach
XenaMedia.com at http://student.uq.edu.au/~s343076/xena/
In the "Will We See it or Won't We"
Department
It seems Renee's picture Rubbernecking has run out of money! It needs another $350,000 to
be completed. Anyone with spare change? Many thanks to Aleca for that piece of news!
19 February
Magazine Alert: Xpose #31 has small segments on Xena
I would like to welcome Sonia C. Barrera to The Bard's Corner!
Bad News Time: Rebekah has decided to remove her stories from TBC and the web. This is most unfortunate and a great loss to the xenaverse. Her story All Through The Night is considered an absolute CLASSIC in Xenaverse fanfic. A great loss.
Many thanks to Venator for this piece of news: There is a website promoting licenced Xena swords (without scabbard) for sale. They will be available at the end of the month for $225 (shipping included). The website is http://tuscanytrading.com/ and it's at the top of the page, under the heading "Xena is Coming!"

New Montage: Daughter of Pomira now online
First I would like to thank Melissa Good for her help yesterday. Some "person" hacked into my main page. Thanks to Missy it was back up the same day. Missy you're my hero :-) To the hacker...I hope one day you get the Rurik treatment...click here to read excerpt
And now for some good news! The Psycho is Back! This info comes from The Official Hudson Leick Fan Club. I've REALLY missed Callisto, they tried with Najara (wacky woman but not close to Callisto). Imagine...Alti and Callisto teaming up? WHOA! Pyschos R Us!
Hudson WILL be returning to New Zealand, the first of next month, to film another episode of Xena. AND, YES, SHE WILL, ONCE AGAIN, BE PLAYING CALLISTO! That's all the information that we have, right now, but we'll be sure and keep everyone updated when we hear more. "

Looking for a Star Trek fan to maintain my Star Trek Fan Fiction Site. If you are a

The Bard's Corner is going to get a face lift on a major scale. Stories that are in parts (ie Tropical Storm - Part 1) and have not been linked to the next part will now be all linked. As from today, BL Miller who maintains The Bards of the Xenaverse section on XIP will begin this mammoth job. Now personally I just think it's a good reason for BL to reread these stories and have an excuse for it <vbg> Seriously folks this will make The Bard's Corner much easier to navigate. I want to thank BL for taking on this mammoth job. So in the coming weeks and months you will be able to see a more streamlined TBC taking shape.

The Bard's Corner Updates
I am pleased to announce two new bards to The Bard's Corner - Froggles and Koddiake
Now I made an error on the 5th February update. Circle of Life which I attributed to Mythmaker was incorrect. The correct bard is Koddiake. Apologies to Koddiake and Mythmaker.
5 February
The Bard's Corner Updates:
News for Aussies: Entertainment Tonight used to be seen at 11:30 am and repeated late at night. There has been a change - No more ET. We will get a locally produced show that will have ET segments similar to E! on Channel 10. Now what does this mean for Lucy/Xena segments? My guess is that we won't be seeing them. Xena is on Channel 10 and ET is on Channel 9. Now can anyone see Channel 9 promoting a show on Channel 10? Not in this millienium or the the next.
Magazine Alert: CINEFANTASTIQUE VOL. 31 #5 - US$5.95 (Aus $10+)
By popular demand, this month's cover girl is none other than Xena,
Warrior Princess. The behind-the-scenes look includes exclusive interviews with Lucy
Lawless and her husband( and executive producer of XENA ) Rob Tapert, series creator and
chief writer R.J. Stewart, and co-star Amanda<?> Tydings. (Info from the latest

Trivia Time:
Petra reports that the Bitter Suite episode that was seen Germany was all dubbed in German
including the songs (tricky) but the nicest thing about it was that Lucy introduced the
episode in German. Way to go Lucy.
BJ sent this to me: There is a hotel in the city of Mytilene on the island of LESBOS by the name of XENIA. Just thought it would interest someone :-)

There is a story here called Ministrations by Candace Chellew that had me chuckling. I don't think I will ever see this word again without thinking of this story :-) The things I suffer for with these bards....<vbg>
30 January
Just added the Lucy Lawless interview from The Good Weekend
How do you keep people in suspense about a story? You don't finish the end...Sorry folks - Part 7 of A Good Day to Die is now all there ... slight problem with server and silly webmaster. I should sack that woman <g>
Attention Aussies: The Melbourne Age Newspaper & The Sydney Morning Herald have the magazine The Good Weekend as part of their Saturday lineup. In today's paper the cover story is Lucy. It will have an article on the rise of the Xena phenomenon. Cover should be Lucy with the bushy thang looking all seductive. I will scan it and have the pics and the article as soon as possible. Not sure if it will appear in any other State.
I would like to welcome a new bard to The Bard's Corner - Candace Chellew. BladeMast and Candace have written an absolute corker of a story! It's called A Good Day To Die. It's a 7 part story that gets my Highest Recommendation (to borrow Lunacy's term here).
29 January
Now I had a very good chuckle with the new addition to L. Fox's
