Xena

It was announced today that Peter Allan Fields has passed away (19 June 2019). Peter wrote two episodes for Xena - "The Reckoning" and "Death Mask".

Steven Sears has posted his memories of working with Peter on Xena on Facebook

"Steven L. Sears: Peter was wonderful to work with. He was so dedicated to getting Xena right and an absolute professional. He called use once to apologize that his script wasn't going to be done when he said it was. We said it wasn't a problem. He promised to turn it in a day later. The reason? He was in the hospital. But still concerned that he wouldn't meet his deadline. RIP Peter. Of the many stories I tell about working in the business, you're one of the good ones."

I knew of Peter's work before he wrote those two Xena episodes. Peter wrote for 13 episodes for Star Trek - TNG and DS9. He was a master storyteller and one of my favourite writers.

Xena: Their Courage Changed Our World

Steven Sears and I were on Chatting With Sherri to talk about the upcoming Xena: Their Courage Changed Our World. Loved talking to Sherri and it was fabulous to have Steven with us. I even uncovered the first email Steven sent to me in 1998 about my episode montages! Twenty One years ago...how time flies! Have a listen to us laugh, almost cry and have a jolly good time.

Gentleman Jack

For those that don't know what this show is about...it's about the legendary real life 19th Century Lesbian (and proud of it) Anne Lister's life. Anne was an extraordinary woman who lived in Halifax, UK and this is about her life - the show is inspired by her journals which were written in code! It's a fantastic show and Suranne Jones who plays Ann Lister is a BAFTA award winning actress and just BRILLIANT. Read all about her and the show on AUSXIP Gentleman Jack site

Why Did AUSXIP Choose House of Bards To Support....

I've been asked why AUSXIP chose House of Bards Theatre Company as one of our charities. That's an interesting question. We live in a world that is increasingly become difficult and quite distressing. Storytellers have taken us out of our world and transported us as far as our imaginations and their storytelling could take us. As a storyteller / bard myself I have found this to be EXTREMELY important. It's why we buy books, watch movies, go to the theatre.

Many of you may be aware of Renee's work behind the scenes with young actors and how she has nutured them. She will take those young actors and will create extraordinary work. We need storytellers, we need people to nuture others fulfill their dreams.

That's why we chose House of Bards as one of our charities.

We have supported charities in the past that allowed young people to reach their potential (The Ellis Foundation), supported a children's hospital and still do (Starship Foundation), Adrienne Wilkinson's Families in Need Charity, Brittney's Bra Auction, AIDS LifeCycle Auction, Trevor Foundation, Frog conservation etc

The bottom line is we are doing this to make a difference in people's lives for the better. We will continue to support other charities and causes when the need arises.

Battle On!

AUSXIP Announcement

AUSXIP Welcomes Renee O'Connor's House of Bards Theatre Company As Official Charity

ausxipgreatergoodAUSXIP Greater Good (our charity arm) has joined forces with Renee O'Connor's House of Bards Theatre Company and it will become our second official charity that we will support.

I'm pleased to announce, with consultation with Renee O'Connor, AUSXIP will add House of Bards Theatre Company as part of our charity drive in September for our 12th charity auction. The AUSXIP's official charities are: The Starship Foundation and House of Bards Theatre Company.

In 2006 AUSXIP celebrated 10 years online and I wanted to celebrate this event by organizing a charity auction. AUSXIP Greater Good was born to benefit Starship Foundation (Lucy) and The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation (Renee) - the goal was to highlight both Lucy and Renee's greater good endeavours and to celebrate AUSXIP's 10th birthday by raising money in the spirit of Xena's underlying theme of the Greater Good.

That initial idea hit a few hurdles and due to the significant problems we encountered with Paypal and then check donations for Renee's charity monies in the 2010 and 2011 AUSXIP Charity Auctions, we attempted to find a better solution. Unfortunately, after months of trying to get a good outcome, we couldn't get that arrangement to work.

Until now.

ALL money raised for Starship goes to Starship and ALL money raised for Renee's new theatre company House of Bards go to the House of Bards! Our goal is to bypass AUSXIP in the payment section, bypass paypal and get the winning bidders to pay the House of Bards Theatre Company directly, the same process we use for the winning bids for The Starship Foundation. AUSXIP will then be notified of payments and we ship items out.

Our goal has always been to give 100% of the proceeds to the charity involved.
So, the original idea which started in 2006 has finally been put in place. Since 2006 we have raised (with YOUR help and support) $204,250 for Starship and other charities.

Thank you for your support!

  • AUSXIP Interviews Renee O'Connor 15 December 2011 - AUSXIP had the pleasure of interviewing Renee in April 2008 and now we catch up with Renee in time for AUSXIP's 15th Anniversary. Since Xena ended it's 6 year run over 10 years ago, Renee has been very busy in continuing to act, direct and produce her own short films and movies, create a web presence by interacting with fans with video presentations and other media. Renee has taken time out of her very busy schedule to talk to us about the Last Xena Convention in January 2012, her creation of ROC Pictures, her movies Words Unspoken and Infinity, her involvement with the I Am Aware seminars and what habit she really can't break!
