TV / Art Lucy Lawless Documentary Warrior Women – Mulan + Art by MaryD 10 March 2018 For those on Twitter: AUSXIP has been part of Twitter now since 2009 and since then its kind of spawned a few extra accounts to cater for Renee, Lucy, Adrienne news + I have my own twitter account. The main AUSXIP account was for pretty much everything that AUSXIP covered. What was missing was a dedicated Xena account. That has now been fixed. I did have a AUSXIP Xena 2 account which was slated for the Xena Reboot. Since that got the boot, I thought it was a good time to use it for the original and the best. @AUSXIP Main twitter that will report on news/multimedia for everything AUSXIP covers is located here @AUSXIPXena – Everything related to Xena and the Xenaverse @AUSXIPMaryD – pretty much says it all.

After a few name changes and tweaks, the AUSXIP Girl Power subsite was (re)born. It brings together tiny mini subsites such as books, movies, tv and web with strong female characters. You can submit items for inclusion and we will have a look, see if they meet our guidelines that it does indeed have strong female characters (no wishy washy stuff here – think Xena, Wonder Woman, Supergirl etc etc). It will have news that is not picked up on our dedicated sites for Xena, Supergirl, Rizzoli & Isles and Spartacus. The site is only for books, movies, tv and web shows and doesn’t include actors / actresses (see our dedicated sites for the actors/writers/producers). PLEASE NOTE: This does NOT mean we are stopping updating our current live dedicated sites such Xena and Supergirl OR any of our actor individual sites. We are just branching out and bringing together articles we think will inspire you.
