I thought I’d heard a while back that she had passed away. The reason I ask is that I think someone other than her has posted her stories to Archive of Our Own (she is sort of credited but I am seriously side-eyeing this) If you know can you please let me know here or contact Vivian on Facebook.

We lost our Ares, the amazing Kevin Smith 16 years ago today. The Xenaverse cried together as one collective being when Kevin died in an accident in China in 2002. We rallied round his family and supported them in various ways. One of the things this fandom excels in is love. Love for our fellow fans and love for our Xena cast and crew. 'Say not in grief 'he is no more' but live in thankfulness that he was' We Miss You Kevin.
