- Here's a game of sorts...from Sharon's site:
See, we've got this sword and heaps of people signed it, but no one made any notes at the time and now we can't read them all. I thought perhaps with all the siggys you guys have collected, you might be able to help.

For those going to the 2004 Xena con in Burbank (have fun!) and this information is for you.
From Sharon:
FAN PANELS AT THE CONVENTION -- we're going to have two panels -- topics listed below -- at the convention and I'm looking for 2 or 3 people for each topic who would like to lead the discussion, with the audience, from the stage. Missy may be joining one or both of them depending on her jetlag (grin) If you're interested, please email me at outback@creationent.com
1. How has the portrayal of Xena as a strong female character changed the way women characters are judged today in the media? Did Xena raise the bar and is now the one others are judged against?
2. Who was the real hero of the story, Xena or Gabrielle?

There has been some light hearted debate about the length and colour of Lucy's hair amongst Lucy fans. The following is a note from Sharon on the Official Xena Fan Club Page:
And for those who have been asking about Lucy, her hair is darker and growing longer. She said the boys in her life missed her long, dark hair. I was surprised that Julius, age four, would really notice the length of his mom's hair and asked her what he said. She laughed, "Not that boy -- Rob."

- There's a short mention of Lucy from an article on backstage.com about the movie/documentary "Double Dare". ....Micheli found it ironic that when Epper portrayed a superhero such as Wonder Woman, she not only had to change the way she ran but had to stop working out so that her shoulders became as thin as Lynda Carter's. "It's that double thing--you're not just becoming a character, you're becoming the character in the way that the actor is interpreting it," Micheli says. "So it's almost like a two-layered transformation. I know with Zoe on Xena, she was always very aware what Lucy's habits were-- where she would put her feet, how she would land things. [Although] Lucy could land however she wanted, the second unit would always have to match what the first unit did. Sometimes they would have to shoot second unit before main unit, and they were often happening simultaneously, so [Bell] just got [it] ingrained in her, 'How would Lucy do this?' Read More...
