This award is for the fanfiction stories out there that have er..um..well...shall we say inspired us? Yes, that's a good term for it.
When we say "Don't read at work" we're not kidding. These stories are not for the faint of heart. With excellent dialogue and pacing, these explicit, well written scenes don't leave the readers wanting...for anything. These are the cream of the crop. No unnecessary vulgarities, all the arms and legs are accounted for, our heroines aren't drowning or screaming each other's names so loud that half of Athens wakes up...etc.
Recipients (Listed alphabetically, except for mine, which appear at the end)
I thank the webmistresses/webmasters that have graciously allowed me to link to their sites.
| Peaches & Cream | One hot story that will leave you hungering for peaches and that other elusive flavour... |
| Amazon Pleasure | PWP kind of story. How many ways can the lovely little bard pleasure her warrior. Read and be inspired. |
| A Change of Perspective | *Very* hot love scenes, and one of the few stories that has Gab as the one with previous experience with a woman, and Xena as the inexperienced one. |
| Fantasies Revisited | This story definitely left me in need of some ice! I love seeing Gabrielle take charge like that! |
| The Tavern | One of the hottest "first
time"stories out there. Another one of those Gabby- masquerades-as-a-sex-slave-and-finds-out-she-likes-it stories!! |
| The Love of Lao Ma | If you can read this story and not have sweaty palms afterwards, you should seriously consider a nunnery! |
| Queen | This story is the most incredible piece of erotic fan-fic I've been lucky to read. L. N. James combines an original and unexpected theme with the true characters we've come to know and love. |
| Illuminations of the Soul | Some of the hottest, most romantic, most loving scenes I've ever read - they stimulate both the libido and the soul. Beautiful story! |
| Lucifer Rising | I thought this was overall the best piece of hot inspirational fan fic yet. And I don't even like uber stuff. |
| Fire And Ice | The name may be "Fire and Ice" but the love scenes are all fire. Actually, that's not true: there's a spectacularly sexy use of an ice cube as well. On top of that, Friction's uber characterizations are terrific as well. As in all great X&G fanfic, Alex and Danielle become true partners, with complimentary strengths---and weaknesses too. The recipe for great altfic: a great story that *also* has Great Sex! Friction's "Fire and Ice" delivers. |
| Outlaw | Wow!!! |
| The Nano Series | I mistakenly took one section to work while trying to catch up on the updates. I couldn't concentrate, I couldn't respond to anyone, I could only read this story and beg for more... |
| Something I Need | Short, rough and *very* hot, with a really thoughtful look at the characters too. |
| Camping with Joxer | True to character, highly humourous, very hot, graphic but not tasteless. Love it...again and again and again. |
| Relections of Darkness | If you enjoy stories that delve into Xena's dark past, you'll enjoy this one. |
| A Simple Twist of Fate | As far as "melting in front of your keyboard goes", this story will create not a puddle but a LAKE! Read and enjoy! |
