I am currently working on: “Rock of Ages”, a #xena Warrior Princess “Bittersweet” musical webcomic, to be posted 2023-24.

Concept: A (fictional) Summer of 2000 Xena feature film sequel to “Motherhood”, intended to introduce new fans to season 6 & an Eve spin-off.

Synopsis:
Xena & Gabrielle travel with Eve to Cyprus, birthplace of Aphrodite, to meet their old friend Salmoneus, now a Senator, exiled by Livia years before, along with his resentful daughter, Talitha.
Eve quickly finds herself caught up in the middle of civil conflict between apocalyptic true believers, violent zealots, and a Roman occupation determined to wipe out the last organized resistance of Elijians.
Eve wrestles with her violent past as Livia, & her worth as a messenger of peace. As the streets threaten to explode in open conflict, she must decide: will she become Eli’s greatest disciple, or his greatest martyr?

Based on the myth of Proteus, the Greek God of Change, this is intended to be an inspirational story about discovering your true self, the courage to change, and finding your place in the world.

The story is told in the style of “Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire”, with music released before season 6: mostly from the 80s through early 2000. It’s 230 pages long, and equals about 3 Xena episodes in content (with a little left over).

This is a work of fan fiction, but as close to canon as I can make it. 22 years in the making, I spent 20 years learning how to write it, and 2 years actually writing it. This will be posted in regular installments over the next year.

In addition, I will be posting commentary outlining my definition of show canon, and why I made the choices I did. I’ll also post sketches & videos along the way, including related interviews, if possible.

Will I be able to complete such a mammoth task? Kind of curious about that myself. Let’s find out together, as we wait and hope for an actual Xena/Eve revival someday!
