She's funny, she's quirky, she's got impeccable taste. With her dry wit and wryly affectionate take on Xena & Co., Dharma Bum can bring fanfic readers to their knees and leave us alternately begging for more and laughing our brains out til we choke. And with that graphic description, I'll leave you to read for yourself the best thing to ever happen to Xena fanfic.
Don't want to miss a single thing Dharmic? Look the gal up on fanfiction.net, or check out The Lost Xena Page, Dharma's personal page, for exclusive goodies. There are fluff-filler pieces for Dogs in Clover, Behind the Music: Xena, Warrior Princess, and Dharma's masterpiece (well, her longest masterpiece) -- the full-length "Xena" novel The Changing of the Guard. And check out the GJRS Lyrics Challenge Archive to read about Joxer meeting Conan the Barbarian in When the Night Falls.
Wowza. Who says award-giving committees have no taste? Dharma kicked at the 2002 GJRS Golden Quill Awards. When the Night Falls was nominated for Best Crossover, and Dogs in Clover: Post-Mortem was nominated for Best Erotic Story. Then in the Awards Ceremony itself, Dharma picked up the Best Novella Award for The Changing of the Guard, the Favorite Original Character Award for Suleiman from Changing of the Guard, and (of course!) the Outstanding Achievement For A Fanfic Writer (Best Author) Award. Go Dharma go go!
Dogs in Clover

In this expanded version of "Married With Fishsticks", Gabrielle becomes Queen of the Amazons and accidentally marries Joxer; I will NOT say "wackiness ensues". It's a "Xena" sitcom. No, really.

Very Silly Epilogue for "Married With Fishsticks"
Gabrielle discovers the significance of The Ring. (For expanded version of this story, check out "Dogs in Clover".)

Waiting
for Xena (Part 2, 3,

Reflections
Gabrielle debates a chance
in herself. Anything more would give it away.. (GJRS Lyrics Challenge Story)
Retraction
Wonder why Joxer mysteriously
vanished during "Animal Attraction"? Here's the answer in a much needed
follow-up.
Smoke
Rings in the Dark
Whip out the hankies, folks,
it's ANGST! Joxer must choose between life and death--and the choice
is not entirely simple. (GJRS Lyrics Challenge Story, and it was MY
lyrics that did it, MINE *dances around madly*)
Digging
Deeper(Part 2, 3)
