Nikki Stafford), author of "Lucy Lawless and Renei O'Connor: Warrior Stars of Xena," is compiling a collection of true-life stories written by fans about how their lives have changed as a result of the show, and if your story is selected, you will receive a free copy of the book. If you have a story (or photos, which she is also collecting), please email her in advance at robjen1@sympatico.ca to find out how you can submit your story and what submission requirements are (no fan fiction, please); deadline is January 15, 2001 for submissions. Thirty percent of all royalties on each book will be donated to Starship Foundation through Sword and Staff. If you don't want to write a piece for the book but would like to participate, I've attached a questionnaire you can fill out and send off to Jen at robjen1@sympatico.ca The book is in the editing stage, but I'm sure Jen will be happy to see more pix and stories. Again, you've got until January 15 to submit the story or the questionnaire. Best, Mist QUESTIONNAIRE **Please note the section on personal information is entirely optional: I just thought it would help a demographical analysis if I got a cross-section of what kinds of people watch the show. Please do not feel compelled to put down anything you don't want. Name/Handle: Age: Gender: Country: Personal Information (job, degrees, etc.): How you want your name to appear in the book: 1. How did you first hear about Xena: Warrior Princess? 2. How long have you been watching the show? 3. What attracted you to the show when you first saw it? 4. Who is your favorite character and why? 5. What is your favorite episode and why? 6. What is your least favorite episode and why (if it's the last one, skip to the last question)? 7. Are you a subtext fan? If so, explain when you first noticed it. If not, what do you think about the subtext issue? 8. This question is for the subtext fans: everyone else can go to the next question if they wish. What do you think are the best episodes for subtext and why? 9. What was your favorite aspect about the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle? 10. Do you like or hate Joxer? Please explain your response. 11. What do you think was the best technical aspect of the show (writing, acting, music, directing, etc.)? 12. Have you ever had any encounters with any of the cast or crew of the show? Tell us about it. 13. Did you also watch Hercules? Did you think one show was better than the other? Why or why not? 14. What other television shows do you watch? 15. Do you consider yourself a hardcore nutball or just a fan of the show? 16. What attracts you to stay on the Xena listserve (s) that you are on? Tell us about your online experiences. 17. Do you read or write any of the fan fiction? If so, what do you like most about it? 18. Have you ever been to any extra-curricular Xena activities, such as conventions, fan fests, Meow Mix Xena nights, etc.? If so, how was it? 19. Do you think Xena is a good role model for children, or do you think the show is inappropriate (too violent, adult material) for younger viewers? 20. Why do you think that Xena: Warrior Princess is so popular? 21. What did you think of the final episode? 22. If there's anything else you'd like to add, such as comments about other characters, episodes, or the show itself, please add them here.
