XENA STUFF
Essays:
Why I love Xena
Why I love Xena/Ares
My fanfiction:
Equal to the Gods: bitexter angst
The Joining -- shipper trilogy:
Part I: Understanding
Part II: The Test
Part III: Reunion
A Twist of Fate: want a shipperish version of When Fates Collide?
Love in a Time of Twilight: dark, angsty, adult
Other shipperfic:
Just about anything by Carly. My favorites:
Afterwards (Xena, Ares and others after Motherhood)
Coming Back
Divine Sight (alternate version of The Furies)
Green Isle: heartbreaking and lovely
Otherworld
The Hundred Ways To Love (post-FIN angst)
The Thing You Love (Remember Nothing, with Ares)
World Enough (Ares looks for Xena across many worlds)
Stories by Tango:
The Outsiders: Eternity Broken and Fortuna's Champion -- epic and poetic
Into the Dawn (You Are There sans Nigel)
The Birds Will Cry (post-FIN, Gabrielle-centric, shipperish, and very poignant)
secular atrophy:
Pebbles -- a great series of vignettes, mostly X/A, some X/G and other pairings.
Skin Tight by Juxian Tang (warning: contains some very disturbing violence but is very beautifully written -- Juxian is great at weaving together very dark, violent material with a uniquely lyrical tenderness)
Other Xena fanfic:
Xena's Little Bitch, The Moral of the Story. A very interesting exploration of some of the issues in the show.
Sais2Cool:
The Rest Is Silence: Xena reflects on her life with Gabrielle before they are crucified in Ides of March
Confession: Gabrielle reflects on her life with Xena after FIN.
Fighting The Good Fight by Temora. If you like Xena and you like humor, this is for you -- a great, affectionate send-up of the show that hits all the right spots.
The Destiny series by Atiaran: a fascinating alternate-universe story centered on Gabrielle and Caesar after the death of Conqueror Xena. I didn't think I could get into it, either.
Destiny I
Destiny II
In Vino Veritas
Choices
Heroes
She of the Djinn
Interlude: Suffering
Homecoming
Long Dark Night (end of the series)
The Beginning: Death of the Conqueror (prequel)
The Storm (prequel to the prequel)
OTHER STUFF
Some of my professional articles:
The Good Tsar? (Reason, July 2007) A eulogy for Yeltsin.
Ayn Rand at 100 (Reason, March 2005). Loved, hated, and always controversial, the best-selling author of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged is more relevant than ever.
God Talk (Reason, January 2001). Religious speech and the First Amendment.
The Mommy Wars (Reason, July 2000) Why feminists and conservatives just don't get modern motherhood.
Sex & Sensibility (Reason, March 1999). Men are from Earth, women are from Earth; deal with it.
Man Troubles (Reason, July 1994). The men's movement.
Secrets and lies (Salon, May 3, 2001). Racial preferences in college admissions.
A Man's right to choose (Salon, October 19, 2000). Is it fair that women have reproductive rights while men have reproductive responsibilities?
The anti-child revolt (Salon, July 31, 2000). "Child-free" militants, bug off.

Who I am
"For every complex question there is a simple answer. And it's wrong." ~~ H. L. Mencken
With Xena writer Steve Sears
With Russian human rights activist Elena Bonner
Since March 2001, I have been dividing my time between "real life" -- in which I am a writer/journalist and the author of two books -- and the Xena: Warrior Princess fandom, in which I am a fan fiction writer, a staff writer for the Shipper Virtual Seasons, a digital artist, a contributor to the online journal Whoosh!, and a moderator at Xena Online Community.
I am passionate about Xena, the show and the character, and about the Xena/Ares "'ship." I am passionate about art and beauty, books and ideas. I am passionate about my friends and my work; and, last but not least, about freedom and justice.
I believe in treating people as individuals first, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, or any other group membership.
I believe that, with very few exceptions (such as those who preach hate or violence), one should try to look at both or all sides to a story or an argument.
I believe that honest and intelligent people can strongly disagree and still treat each other and each other's beliefs with respect -- whether in political discussions or in the Xena fandom.
