Hi everyone.

I just joined, and I was wondering about beta... of course.  <g>
Is this for those who want to beta, or those who need a beta reader?  I guess
you could say I'm both.  I'll beta for anyone with stories for Forever Knight,
Pretender, Highlander, Higlander: The Raven, X-Files, MacGyver, and or Kung Fu:
TLC.  I write stories in Pretender, Highlander and Highlander: The Raven, 
X-Files, and MacGyver. I write general to not so general, depending on the
fandom.  Please let me know what's acceptable.
Thanks,
Trelar

I just joined and i'm willing to betaread almost anything. More
specifically i X-files, Star Trek Voyager, Buffy, (the list is
endless) I am pretty good at grammer and stuff. I don't though like
to read any adult fiction though

Hello people,

      I really need a beta for an X-Files story, it's going to be
rated R probably, it's slash, but there's nothing particularly
descriptive in it.  If there's anyone out there that is willing to
beta a Pretender story, too, I'd so totally appreciate it.  The
Pretender will also be R, but there is no slash in it.  Please let
there be someone out there willing to help me out.    But, it's
easier to contact me at   trelar27@...  If there are any
questions as to what either are about before you get involved, just
send me a message.  I'd really appreciate some help.

Thanks in advance.

Trela

I would be interested in reading for you if you haven't found someone
already. I will warn you that this would be my first time.

Hello, all! I go by many names, such as the Morrigan,
Beaky, Kathryn Sedai, Queen of the Potato People, the
Holy Blob, and Beaky, but My most common name is Katie
Schaefer. I love fan fiction, and I mostly write
Highlander fan fic and MiSTifications. I have written
a piece of Doctor Who fan fiction, featuring a new
incarnation of the Doctor, who is a woman this time. I
need a beta reader for it, so if you love Doctor Who,
I would be most appreciative! I'm also writing a
crossover between Highlander and M*A*S*H, and
Highlander and MST3K.
----------Katie
P.S. I have a M*A*S*H fan fic list on Onelist, if
anyone's interested in joining.

I also have two Yahoo clubs that center around fan
fiction, the Bard's Collegium and Doctor Who Fan

Hi y'all.

Seeing as own personal beta-patrol are no longer available due to the demands of
school, I need a beta-reader who is familiar with "the Pretender", and has no
qualms about major angst. Any help would be *much* appreciated.

Well there you go then..someone who likes early eighties cheeziness. I too used to watch all those shows, but then I'm too young to have taken anymore interest in them than a passing entertainment..although I do like a good 'Heart To Heart' now and then.

Fanfiction. A haven for you when reality sucks!

Hi

I am still seeking a beta for a longish Arthurian slash story (about half
finished and in need of input).

E. Veinglory

Need a Beta Reader for Due South fanfic.  Story is rated R for
language and sexual activity (non-slash) and semi-graphic
descriptions of violence.   This story is also a mild crossover to
Profiler so any help there would be appreciated but not needed as
much.

Thank you kindly.
Kali

Hi there! I'll read your fic...

Oooh Due South and Profiler..two of my favorite porgrammes.. I'd love to read what you've got!

Fanfiction. A haven for you when reality sucks!

I've written a what-if back history for the Marvel
  character Exodus (Bennet du Paris) and his friendship
  with the original Black Knight (Eobar Barrington)
  set during the 2nd Crusades. It was written in response
  to CFan's orphan Ideas board story challenge.
  I need some suggestions on how to break up a lengthy
  paragraph that's more what should go in there, then what
  actualy story, for the last two scenes, if could find
  someone who's willing to take a look at it, and help me
  wrap up the ending, I would be a very 'happy camper<g>
  The story can be found at (http://members.tripod.com/~Karrenia/

0900am
Admiral€  '   '€  ²s Office
JAG Headquarters
Falls Church, Virginia

€  '   '€  ³Commander Rabb and Colonel MacKenzie reporting as ordered
sir€  '   '€  ´ Harm
said as Mac and him entered the Admiral€  '   '€  ²s office.

€  '   '€  ³Sit down Commander, Colonel.  We have just gotten word
from Webb
that he would like to speak to you and the Colonel as soon as
possible and he€  '   '€  ²s on his way over here right now. Now,
whatever
Webb
is up to, don€  '   '€  ²t let him talk you into anything you
don€  '   '€  ²t want
to do.
We know he was a way of doing that sometimes.  So, just be
caref-€  '   '€  ´,
Admiral Chegwidden was interrupted by Webb loudly entering his
office. Tiner was standing at the door just behind him.

€  '   '€  ³Sorry sir, I tried to tell him you were in a meeting with
Commander
Rabb and Colonel MacKenzie but he wouldn€  '   '€  ²t
stop.€  '   '€  ´ Tiner
explained,
hoping he wouldn€  '   '€  ²t be at the receiving end of the
Admiral€  '   '€  ²s
wrath as
he had been lately.

€  '   '€  ³Thank you, Tiner, Dismissed. Webb, do you ever
knock?€  '   '€  ´ he
asked,
quite disgusted.

Webb just began to speak, €  '   '€  ³Commander, I have some
unfortunate
news
concerning Lt. Austin, and some good news concerning Lt. Austin.
Which would you like to hear first?€  '   '€  ´

Harm eyed Webb wearily, €  '   '€  ³What€  '   '€  ²s the bad news,
Webb?€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Lt. Austin has been accused of espionage on three
accounts. With
the
Russians, Vietnamese, and Iranians.€  '   '€  ´

Harm flew out of his seat, lunging at Webb. Mac jumped up at the same
time, knowing he would get mad, and somewhat successfully held him
back The Admiral stepped in between the two men.

€  '   '€  ³STAND DOWN, COMMANDER€  '   '€  ´ he yelled.

Harm backed away from Webb and paced over to the corner of the office
to gather himself. Mac followed him there.

€  '   '€  ³Harm, don€  '   '€  ²t let Webb get to you. You know
that€  '   '€  ²s what he
wants.
Knowing Webb, he€  '   '€  ²s probably exaggerating things. Are you
settled?€  '   '€  ´
she asked, placing her hand on his arm.

Harm took a deep breath, €  '   '€  ³Yes, I€  '   '€  ²m
fine.€  '   '€  ´

Harm and Mac returned to where the Admiral was in Webb€  '   '€  ²s
face.

€  '   '€  ³Now Webb, what is this all about?€  '   '€  ´ he asked.

Webb backed away from the Admiral, straightened his tie and
said €  '   '€  ³It€  '   '€  ²s like I said, Lt. Austin has been
accused of
espionage on
three accounts.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³And, the good news, Webb?€  '   '€  ´ Harm asked.

€  '   '€  ³Well, Lt. Austin has requested that you defend her.
You€  '   '€  ²ll
get to
see her again.€  '   '€  ´

Now it was the Admiral€  '   '€  ²s turn to jump at Webb. This time,
no one
tried to stop it. €  '   '€  ³What the heck do you think
you€  '   '€  ²re doing,
Webb?
Coming into my office, upsetting one of my officers and now, telling
one of MY lawyers under MY command that they€  '   '€  ²re going to
defend a
client. Last time I checked, I was the Judge Advocate General and you
were a snitchy agent who can€  '   '€  ²t find anything better to do
with
his
time than come in here and wreak havoc on this office. Now,
I€  '   '€  ²m
fairly certain nothing has changed since I saw you last so I suggest
you sit down and let me run JAG before I haul your butt out of here
so fast, you won€  '   '€  ²t know what happened. Is that
clear?€  '   '€  ´

Webb squirmed uncomfortably, €  '   '€  ³Sir, I€  '   '€  ²m not
under your chain
of
command but I will try to do my best to aggravate you
further.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Yeah, like that€  '   '€  ²s going to happen,€  '   '€  ´
Admiral said under
his
breath, €  '   '€  ³now, Webb, will you leave my office. I can handle
it
from
here.€  '   '€  ´

Webb started to say something, but quickly stopped when he saw the
look on the Admiral€  '   '€  ²s face. €  '   '€  ³Yes sir. Goodnight
Commander,
Colonel.€  '   '€  ´
And then he left the office.

Admiral Chegwidden sighed deeply, €  '   '€  ³All right, now that
that€  '   '€  ²s
taken
care of, let me tell you what€  '   '€  ²s really going
on.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³You knew about this sir?€  '   '€  ´ Harm asked
incredulously.

€  '   '€  ³Yes Commander, I did, and I really didn€  '   '€  ²t
think it was my
duty to
tell you every little thing that comes through this office, do
you?€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³No sir, I just thought-€  '   '€  ´
€  '   '€  ³Good, because its not.€  '   '€  ´ the Admiral
interrupted, €  '   '€  ³Now,
here€  '   '€  ²s the
information I have. Lt. Austin has been working on the inside for JAG
for sometime now, but she hasn€  '   '€  ²t been in contact with this
office.
It€  '   '€  ²s been directly with Webb.  She has been posing as the
US
Ambassador to Russia for almost three and a half years now. She had
been ordered to contact Webb twice a week with any information she
had.  After not hearing from her for 3 weeks straight, they looked
into it and it seemed she€  '   '€  ²d disappeared. After doing
research,
they
found her tied to many major falls of American officers in Russia,
Vietnam, and Iran. Most of those pertaining to you and the Colonel.
They are still trying to locate Lt. Austin and believe she is
somewhere in Siberia. That€  '   '€  ²s pretty much all I know. And,
before
you
ask it, yes, commander, I have been planning for you to defend Lt.
Austin but first we have to find her. Colonel Mackenzie, you will be
assisting the Commander. And of course, where Webb falls into place.
He has requested that you two be briefed over Lt. Austin€  '   '€  ²s
last
whereabouts and continue the search. You don€  '   '€  ²t have to
accept.
It€  '   '€  ²s
just Webb and you never know what€  '   '€  ²s behind it.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³We€  '   '€  ²ll accept€  '   '€  ´ Harm said
immediately. Colonel Mackenzie
nodded in
agreement.

€  '   '€  ³All right then, you two leave at 1030. You better be on
your
way.
Dismissed€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Aye sir€  '   '€  ´ Harm and Mac said in unison.

As Harm reached for the handle Admiral said, €  '   '€  ³Commander,
Colonel,
be
careful.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Will do, sir€  '   '€  ´ Mac replied, as the two officers
exited the
Admiral€  '   '€  ²s
office.  They were walking through JAG headquarters towards their
offices to make the arrangements of their case loads while
they€  '   '€  ²d
be
gone.  Soon after, Harm came to Mac€  '   '€  ²s office door and
leaned on
the
door panel, €  '   '€  ³You ready?€  '   '€  ´ he asked.

€  '   '€  ³Yeah, just one minute.€  '   '€  ´ she said, quickly
picking up the
phone and
dialing a number she seemed to know well.

€  '   '€  ³Mic?€  '   '€  ´ she said into the phone. Harm rolled his
eyes and
exited her
office, closing the door behind him.

€  '   '€  ³Brumby? I thought she was over him. Sure, she still wears
that
ring,
but come on. The guy€  '   '€  ²s a jerk, Mac.  We can all see that,
why
can€  '   '€  ²t
you?  Then again, I may be just a bit biased against
him€  '   '€  ¥and for
Mac€  '   '€  ´

Mac hung up the phone about ten minutes later and exited her
office. €  '   '€  ³You ready, Harm?€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Yeah, let€  '   '€  ²s go. We only have
about€  '   '€  ¥'€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Fifty-seven minutes and thirty-three seconds€  '   '€  ´
she rattled
off. Harm
just shook his head as they entered the elevator to go down to the
parking lot.

They stood their in silence for a few seconds before Harm spoke
€  '   '€  ³Mac,
you don€  '   '€  ²t have to do this you know.  She€  '   '€  ²s my
friend, my old
partner.€  '   '€  ´

Mac nodded, €  '   '€  ³I know, but you€  '   '€  ²re MY friend, and
MY partner, so
I want
to.€  '   '€  ´

Harm smiled, €  '   '€  ³Thanks.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Its not a problem€  '   '€  ¥as long as you promise not
to attack
anyone who
offends you. It might hurt your reputation for people to know that
your female partner has to hold you down from fights,€  '   '€  ´ she
said
teasingly.

He looked equally amused, €  '   '€  ³Female, yes. But also marine.
As long
as I
tell them €  '   '€  ±Mac€  '   '€  ², the marine, held me down,
they€  '   '€  ²ll never
know the
difference.  Unless they see you of course, then they€  '   '€  ²d
definitely
know.€  '   '€  ´ he said with a twinkle in his eye.

Mac rolled her eyes, €  '   '€  ³Men€  '   '€  ´ And with that, they
were on their
way to
their houses to pack.



1000am
Webb€  '   '€  ²s Apartment
Virginia


The phone rings four times to an empty house, €  '   '€  ³Hello,
you€  '   '€  ²ve
reached
Clayton Webb. I€  '   '€  ²m not available right now, so leave a
message
after
the beep€  '   '€  ´ BEEEEEEEP
€  '   '€  ³Hi Clay, its Kate. I know you€  '   '€  ²re not home but
I wanted to
call you
and thank you for dinner last night. I had a wonderful time. I hope
we can see each other again soon. Talk to you later, bye.€  '   '€  ´



1030am
Dulles International Airport
Washington D.C

€  '   '€  ³Welcome passengers to flight 331 flying from Washington
D.C,
America
to Moscow Russia. Please fasten your seatbelts and secure all luggage
in the over head compartment.  Keep the trays in front of you in the
upright position until we reach a steady altitude. Thank you, and
enjoy your flight€  '   '€  ´

Harm and Mac got settled in their seats as the plane began to take
off.
Harm looked longingly out the window. Mac noticed as she always did
when he had flying on his mind.

€  '   '€  ³Hey, you really miss it, huh? Even after you came back
and
everything. It€  '   '€  ²s too bad you can€  '   '€  ²t have the
best of both
worlds, huh?
A tomcat-flying JAG officer? Hmm, you never know, flyboy.€  '   '€  ´
she
said
with a smile.

€  '   '€  ³Gosh, I love that smile. So innocent, yet sexy. She
really is
everything I€  '   '€  ²ve ever wanted in a woman. But
she€  '   '€  ²s Mac; and
she has
that whole Brumby thing going on.€  '   '€  ´

Harm€  '   '€  ²s thoughts were interrupted by the stewards standing
over
them, €  '   '€  ³Commander Harmon Rabb, Jr. and Colonel Sarah
Mackenzie?
This
message just came to you from Washington D.C.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Thank you€  '   '€  ´ Mac said, taking the note. Quickly
reading over
it, she
turned and looked at Harm, €  '   '€  ³Guess who?€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Webb€  '   '€  ´ he replied.

She nodded, €  '   '€  ³He says that the hotel we were supposed to
stay at
cancelled our reservations and they only hotel with any vacancies is
the one next to it,€  '   '€  ´ she said, looking obviously ticked.

Harm didn€  '   '€  ²t know why, €  '   '€  ³What? Is it not as nice
of a
hotel?€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Oh, no, in fact, it€  '   '€  ²s even nicer.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Well, then what€  '   '€  ²s wrong?€  '   '€  ´

She cleared her throat and began to read, €  '   '€  ³The hotel has
cancelled
your reservations and the only one with any vacancies is the one next
door. It€  '   '€  ²s a much nicer hotel, but they only had one room
available.€  '   '€  ´

€  '   '€  ³Well, its not like we haven€  '   '€  ²t done the
€  '   '€  ±staying in the
same room€  '   '€  ²
thing before. I€  '   '€  ²ll take the couch, you have the bed, like
always.
Why
is this bothering you so much?€  '   '€  ´

She feigned a smile, obvious to him, €  '   '€  ³Oh, silly old me
forgot to
say
who the letter was addressed to, €  '   '€  ³Mr. and Mrs. Harmon Rabb,
Jr.€  '   '€  ´

Title: Nothing But You
Author: Jennifer Campbell (campbellj83@...)
Fandom: Xena
Pairing: Joxer/Gabrielle friendly
Rating: PG (or maybe PG-13) for regular Xena violence
Type: Drama, major angst
Characters: Joxer, Gabrielle, Xena, Aphrodite, original characters
Time period: Fifth season, after "Animal Attraction"
Length: 51k right now, but it's not quite done
Summary: Fed up with Gabrielle's abuse, Joxer leaves his friends. He joins a
wagon caravan as a guard, but he's signed on for more than he bargained for.

***

He was dreaming, he knew. The colors seemed too bright
for reality -- the sunset too vivid, the trees too
green -- and this scene, well, nothing like this
would ever exist in the real world. No lake would
shimmer with such an inner glow or reflect the perfect
golden ball of the sun as it slowly sank behind the
tall trees, whispering their secrets too softly to
understand.

He didn't care, though. Because here, she loved him.
Here, there were no unkind words or whithering looks.
They sat quietly on the edge of the peer, their legs
dangling only inches above the crystal clear water,
and as he wrapped his arms around her, she didn't
pull away. Instead, she allowed her head to sink
slowly to his shoulder, and she sighed happily.

He tightened his arms around her and gently ran his
fingertips down the length of her arm. "Gabrielle,"
he said quietly. "I love you."

Her hand shifted to cover one of his own; their
fingers intertwined. "I love you, too, Joxer," she
said. "I think I always have."

They sat in silence then, simply enjoying each
other's presence as the sun hovered above the lake,
bathing the water in brilliant colors and washing
over Gabrielle's face. She was so beautiful. So
perfect. His goddess. And here, she loved him as
deeply as he loved her, without regret or shame.

They sat for only a few short minutes before she
shifted against his shoulder. "Joxer, you  have to
wake up now," she said.

He shook his head, tightening his grip on her fingers
and around her waist as if to hang onto the dream as
long as he could. "I don't want to wake up. I want
to stay here with you."

"I know, love," she murmured. "But you must wake now."

"No," he said, but he knew his refusal was useless.
The sunset dimmed and faded, as did the lake and the
trees. The last thing he lost was Gabrielle's warm
hand, clasped with his own, but that too vanished,
and he found himself clutching at only air. Joxer
opened his eyes and blinked to clear the blurriness
that comes in the first few seconds after sleep.
It was still night, a full moon directly overhead.
He couldn't remember where he was.

He rolled onto his side and suddenly found himself
assaulted by a foul smell that reminded him of Argo
after a week on the road, or maybe the inside of his
boots. His eyes adjusted in the dark, and he found
himself nose-to-nose with a snoring lump of a man.
With a surprised yelp, he bolted to his feet; the
lump stopped snoring.

"Joxer," muttered a deep voice. "I don't care who
your father is. If you wake me up one more time I'm
going to bust your nose in."

Joxer blinked. Then his mind began to clear and he
remembered. The lump's name was Larkos, and he'd been
one of Joxer's companions on this long road for almost
a week. Joxer had thrown around the family name to
get this job as a guard for a shipment of potatoes,
turnups and a few bolts of silk. The wagon master
had been impressed by the warrior abilities of Joxer's
father and had hired the son without hesitation.

That had been a week ago. A week since he had left
the company of Xena and Gabrielle, since the horrible
argument that had sent him stomping into the woods.
It wasn't like he hadn't heard the words a million
times already, but something within him had snapped.
He didn't have to take this abuse, not from those
he called friends. The woman he loved, who knew he
loved her, had insulted him once again, and something
had just ... snapped.

"Joxer, these are the wrong spices. I can't believe
you mixed up pepper with garlic. I should know better
than to leave my errands to an  idiot."

He shook his head sadly as he remembered her words.
Just like everyone else, Gabrielle had called him an
idiot. She had treated him like dirt. He'd just been
too blinded by love to see the truth until now. Yet
he still yearned for her, missed her with a pain that
was almost physical. He dreamed about her every night.

"... I love you, too, Joxer. I think I always have."

"... I should know better than to leave my errands
to an idiot."

Useless, he told himself. It was useless to worry
about the past.

Larkos had gone back to snoring, so Joxer tip-toed
away. He managed to leave his traveling companion
sleeping peacefully by the wagons and trudged up the
nearby hill to the watch point.

The guard on duty was Renni, a short, friendly guy
whose big ears and squashed nose reminded Joxer of
a rabbit. Renni stood, and his sword hissed out of
its scabbard as Joxer approached.

"Who's there?" he asked.

"It's just me. Joxer."

The sword slid back into the scabbard, and Joxer
relaxed his tense muscles. "Um, can I come up there?"
he asked.

"Sure," Renni answered as he sat. "I could use some
company. But what are you doing up at this hour?"

"I, um, can't sleep," Joxer answered somewhat lamely
as he sat next to Renni. "I thought maybe I could
take the watch for awhile. You know, so you can get
some rest."

Renni laughed and thumped Joxer on the back. "Hey,
thanks. You're a real pal."

Joxer coughed, trying to catch his breath from the
friendly blow. He couldn't seem to speak, so he only
nodded as Renni walked down the hill, whistling a
happy tune. Soon, all was quiet again, and Joxer
looked around at his surroundings. They had stopped
for the night in a small clearing amidst a huge
forest, with trees that seemed to reach for Olympus.
Joxer smiled as he watched the faraway branches
sway in the cool night breeze, wondering if he
climbed to the top whether he might be that much
closer to divinity.

But what had the gods ever done for him? Aphrodite
hadn't even seen fit to make Gabrielle fall in love
with him. Gabby thought he was worthless, an idiot,
someone to order around and then blame when things
went wrong. He didn't have to take that. Not ever.
It had been right to leave.

"I don't understand why you can't follow a simple
set of instructions, Joxer," Gabrielle had yelled
while pacing the length of their campsite. Her face
had turned red with the force of her tantrum. "Do I
have to hold your hand while you do everything? Hmm?"

Joxer hadn't known exactly how to respond, mostly
because holding Gabrielle's hand had sounded like
a good proposition to him. He had answered in his
usual, intellectual manner: "Um. Bah ... um, Gabby --"

"Don't call me that! How many times do I have to
tell you that my name is Gabrielle, not Gabby. Jeez,
Joxer."

And then the snap had come. He'd stood silent and
still by the campfire, watching with a stoney
expression as Gabrielle had paced the clearing and
muttered to herself about  how dinner was now ruined
because they had no garlic for the fish. It was then
that he had said the words.

"I don't have to take this from you. I'm leaving."

He'd bent over to grab his helmet and pack, and when
he had straightened, Gabrielle had been staring at
him in confusion, all anger erased from her face.

"What?" she had asked.

"I'm leaving. You -- you obviously don't want me
here, so I'm going to stop imposing myself on you."

Gabrielle had moved forward then, reaching out to
him. "No, please don't do that. Joxer, I -- I'm
sorry. I didn't mean it."

"But you did. You meant it. You and Xena, you don't
need me. I just get in the way and make you angry.
So I'll go."

They had stood only inches apart, so close that Joxer
had breathed in the spicy scent of her, drank in the
sight of her big, lovely eyes meeting his for one
last time. This sight had to be enough, a vision of
beauty that would have to last him a lifetime. He
had reached out slowly, caressed his fingertips down
her cheek.

"I love you, Gabrielle," he had said quietly, "but
I can't stay here and take your abuse any more. I
think I deseve better than that."

She hadn't answered, only standing silent by the
campfire as Joxer had walked away. Now, here he was,
surrounded by men like him -- men who were running
from a past they wanted so desperately to forget,
men who had taken the most dangerous job they could
find in hopes that perhaps some band of thieves
would end their suffering with a well-placed stab of
the dagger or shot of an arrow. Maybe then, in Hades'
realm, they could forget their pain. Maybe there, he
could forget Gabrielle.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
He grabbed a stick lying the ground and poked furiously
at the dirt with it. He sighed. "You can't hurt me
now," he whispered to himself. "You can't hold me
down. Not anymore."

"Awe, what's this? My stud muffin is acting all
gloomy."

Joxer glanced up to see a woman's shape outlined
against the moonlight. Even in the dark, Aphrodite's
hair seemed to shine as it curled in golden locks
around her shoulders. She pouted prettily and cocked
her head as she examined the man sitting cross-legged
in the dirt.

"Hi, Aphrodite," Joxer muttered. He returned his
attention to his stick. He didn't feel like talking
to anyone right now, least of all the goddess of love.

Aphrodite waved her hand, and somewhere in the midst
of a shower of tiny hearts appeared a small, pink
blanket. She laid it on the ground and sat down
gracefully, never taking her eyes off Joxer.

"Come on now, what's wrong," she coaxed. "You can
tell Dite all about it."

"Why should I tell you anything?" Joxer asked with
one furious dirt-stab with his stick. "You're the
one who got me in this mess."

"Oooohhh," she said, nodding. "It must have to do
with Xena's little friend."

"Gabrielle."

"Yeah, her." Aphrodite leaned forward, gently taking
Joxer's stick from him and laying it aside. "Listen,
babe, I had nothing to do with that one. You fell
in love with sidekick-girl all on your own."

"But she hates me." Joxer refused to look up. "She
grabs my nose and makes fun of me. Why would I fall
in love with someone who treats me like dirt?"

Aphrodite shrugged. "Maybe you fell in love with her
because the only love you've ever known is abusive.
Your family sure didn't shower you with affection.
And your dad, well, yelling and hitting were the
only ways he knew to express his emotions, even love."

Joxer didn't answer. Great, he thought. I left Athens
to escape my family, and I ran headlong into the
same kind of relationship I'd left behind.

Aphrodite laid her hand on his shoulder. "Listen,
Joxer. Sometimes love just doesn't work out. Not
everyone gets a happy ending."

From somewhere above them, an owl hooted softly, a
sound so lonely that it brought tears to Joxer's
eyes. One drop escaped, trailed slowly down his cheek
and dropped silently into the dirt. He didn't bother
to wipe his cheek.

"But I never get a happy ending," he whispered. "Just
once, I'd like to win, you know? Just for one time,
I'd like to get the girl, beat the bad guys and live
happily ever after."

"I know." Aphrodite squeezed his shoulder. "That's
what everyone wants. But we can't all be the hero."

With that, she vanished in a shower of tiny hearts
that sprinkled over Joxer and disappeared before
they touched the ground. In the east, the sky
lightened slightly, and the stars began to fade.
It would be day soon, and the camp would rouse.
Another day of guarding would begin.

Today would be difficult, he knew. He'd think of
Gabrielle's golden hair all day -- hair that seemed
to shine like the sun. He'd think of Aphrodite's
words. Not everyone can be the hero. Xena and
Gabrielle, now they were heroes. But Joxer the
Not-So-Mighty, he was an anti-hero. Nobody wanted
an anti-hero to save the day; the universe didn't
work that way.

At the bottom of the hill, the others woke and
prepared themselves for the long day ahead. Joxer
slowly stood, wiped the dirt off his pants and took
a deep breath. Despite the pain, he knew today was
another opportunity, another chance to find his
place in the world. He walked into camp, his head
held high.

In the distance, he heard the solitary hoot of an
owl as it took flight, soared over the camp and
vanished into the rising sun.

appreciated.

OK, here goes!

Hi to all fanfic authors out there,

I've been giving a bit of thought recently to the old 'not enough
feedback' problem and I came up with an idea

http://www.geocities.com/ficfeedback

It won't be fully operational until mid-June but I thought I should
ask for opinions, comments and questions before it gets started. I'm
especially interested in your opinion on whether this site and its
contents are a good idea as, so far, it has all been my own creation
and I may be in need of an urgent reality check!

Thanks in advance,

A. Aaronson

Hello everyone.  I am writing my first Fan-fic story and am looking
for someone that would beta-read a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" story
for me.  It is going to be about Willow and Spike finding out that
they knew each other from the past.  You can read the first part
below
to see if it is the type of story you might be intersted in
beta-reading for me. You can send your answer to me at:
silvercat19@...
Thank you for taking your time in reading this message.


Title: Someone From The Past (part 1)
Author: Robyn
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Season 4
Disclaimer: all characters belong to Joss
Notes: words in < > means someone's thought
Feedback: Please, this is my first fic and would love to know what
you
think of it.

Part 1
      Spike sat in a chair at the watcher's house.  The group was
there trying to find out how to kill the latest demon in town.  Spike
looked up from his book at the people before him.  Xander and Anya
were on the coach with some of the old demonolgy books.  <If they
were any closer, they'd be on top of each other> Spike thought.  Buffy
was with Riley patroling, which left Willow and Giles.  Giles was
looking in an old book that was about ready to fall apart.  Spike then
moved his eyes on Willow.  She was in front of her labtop.  She was
wearing one of her "fuzzy" pink shirts.  <Oh bloody hell> Spike
thought as shifted in his seat.  <The only reason I'm here is because
that stupid slayer threatened to take my blood supply> Spike
complained to himself for about 20 minutes when Willow stood up from
her chair.  "I've got it!" She cried.  The gang stopped what they were
doing and looked at her. Willow looked around the room and told them
about what she found. When she was finished Giles took his glasses off
and got up. "Brilliant Willow, now all we have to do is go and tell
Buffy.  Giles then turned to Xander, "Xander, you and Anya can . . ."
"Can leave now" Anya replied while getting up.  Giles was taken back
by her remark. "But . . ." Giles mutterd.  Anya started to pull Xander
off the coach.  "Anya!" Xander replied.  "What have I told you about
interrupting others when they're talking?"  "Well, he said he found
what he wanted.  That means we can go."  Anya said which caused
Xander to reply with "You could have waited till Giles was done
talking." and the two continued to argue.
      Giles finally got up and said, "I hate to interrupt, but someone
must go out there and tell Buffy."  Anya looked around the room for a
reason not to get Buffy and just go.  She spotted Willow.  "How about
Willow?"  Willow looked at Anya and was ready to speak when Anya
replied, "I mean, she found the info, so she should go."  Xander was
shocked at the remark.  "You mean alone?  Do you know how many
nasties would make a Dine-In-Willow if they every got a hold her?"
Again Anya and Xander started to argue.  Giles rubbed his head with
the back of his hand before putting his glasses back on.
      Spike finally got fed-up.  "Bloody hell, I'll do it." He
yelled.  Everyone stopped and looked at him. "Hey, its better then
watching these two gobble like chickens," he said as he pointed to
Xander and Anya.  Spike walked over to go get his black duster.
Xander looked at Spike questionly, "Your going to go and tell Buffy?"
Spike looked back at Xander "Sure, I'll tell the slayer everything
she needs to know." Spike replied with a cocky grin and his British
accent.  He opened the door and started out. Giles watched Spike
with doubt that he would tell Buffy the right "everything."  He then
looked to the group of slayeretts. "Someone needs to go with him to
make sure he really does go to tell Buffy and all."  "Okay, lets go"
Xander said while he was heading for the door.  "Why us" Anya said,
not making an effort to move.  "Because if we don't . . ." Xander
replied and the couple rambled on.  Giles roled his eyes and looked
at the ceiling and then back to the yelling couple.  Clearing his
throat to get the groups attention, he was preparing to speak when
Willow then stood up with her hands flying to her head.  "Fine I'll
go. I just hope he hasn't gotten that far." She yelled and then ran
out the door after the blond vampire.

Robyn,
I'm loving this so far.  And I'd be happy to be your
beta-reader.  From what you've shown here, this looks
like one of the best Buffy stories I've seen all year.

Hi all! I'm writing my first Buffy-fic, and I'm looking for someone
willing to beta-read for me. Actually, depending on the reception it
gets this story might very well end up being a trilogy, but if someone
wants to just read the first story that's fine too!

The story's main focus is on Giles and Cordelia, strange I know, but I
like the less conventional 'ships. :) I don't think anything in it goes
over an "R", but just to be on the safe side I'll put it at NC-17.

If you'd be interested, please e-mail me at

ThankYou

Here's a taste of it:

********************
5:00 AM
February 13, 2004
Amanda King's residence

	 I opened my eyes and looked at the clock.  5 AM.  The red numbers
glowed back at me through the dark.  I only wake up at five in the
morning one day out of the year; our anniversery.  Today was our
seventeenth anniversary and the fifth one that I celebrated alone.
That meant tomorrow was the sixth aniversry of Lee's disappearence.
Everyone at the Agency thought that Lee was dead, but not me.  I
still
continue to look for him on my own time.
	 I crawled out of bed and took my shower and got dressed.  Today was
the first day of my vacation, at least that's what Billy and
Francine
assume it is.  In reality today is the first day of hidden memories,
of the thoughts about Lee that I repress fifty-one weeks out of the
year.  My eyes catch the picture on my dresser and tears begin to
well
up.  It's ths last picture that I have of Lee and myself.  It was
taken on our twelfth anniversery just outside of

Although I have always a long time fan of gargoyles,
and despaired when they cancelled the show,
I cam back to Gargoyles when I found the Timedancer Saga.
My stuff except, for part 7,can be found on Jeb's Gargoyles
fanfic Archive. or on my site. <G>

With that said, I've got another crossover piece that I've just
started, its a crossover, with Buffy: the Vampire slayer.
Written mostly from Xander's perspective.
Third season of Buffy, kinda.
2nd season of Gargole's from 'the episode "Hound of Ulster."
   A sort of extrapolation.
   I've called "Ill Met by Moonlight."

Banshee,in human form, making up for past misdeeds is
confronted by the Weird Sisters into fullfilling the
prophecy of Unification, three races will become one.
It's missing a few scenes, and it just in draft form
at the moment.

  If there's someone out there who's interested in
  going over this, please reply.

    Thanks, Karrenia
