Wow, I'm so honored. :) Both that you've been to the board and that you've read my fanfic. Actually I noticed that in your post touching on X/A you said that you weren't too interested in X/A fanfic because you felt that the show had taken the relationship as far as I could go, and I was wondering if I could change your mind on that. ;) Not purely in a self-serving way, mind you, I would recommend some great X/A fanfic by other writers. But I'm very, very flattered by your comments about Equal to the Gods.
I'm very sorry that AFIN caused you to withdraw from the Xena fandom. Personally, I found the finale to be very unsatisfying, particularly in the reasoning for Xena's staying dead, but I never felt much emotional connection to the finale (perhaps because by the time I saw it, I had been inured by a week of hysteria at what was then the largest Xena fan forum), and so I never quite felt that "this is what 'really' happened to Xena." I don't know if you noticed
Actually, we have an intersting thread about the finale:
Have your opinions changed? (http://p209.ezboard.com/fxwpwebfrm32.showMessage?topicID=7282.topic)
We also have an interesting X/A thread that's still active:
Did Xena love Ares? (http://p209.ezboard.com/fxwpwebfrm32.showMessage?topicID=7184.topic)
but I'm almost hesitant to recommend that one becaue at one point, things in it got a bit hairy. We're generally not like that though, and it did calm down rather quickly with mod intervention.
Anyway, I hope you do join up. I assume you know the drill -- get an EZboard username, then try to make a post on the board whle logged in; it'll take you to a membership application page, then click "apply" and you'll be approved. See you there!
