UberXena and UberGabrielle

Notice: This web site will self-destruct soon.

Due to the lack of time, energy, creative spark, and feedback,
I am planning to take down this site the first week of September, 2005.

Welcome to my Uberverse.

The stories here can either stand alone, or as a rough chronological journey, with the exception of Greasy: A Parody, which is merely a satire formed from watching the re-release of Grease in 1998 followed by the release of The Bitter Suite soundtrack. The stories take place as follows:

• That Texas Summer
  • The story of Laura Wilkins and Ruby Bills, who meet in 1875 in the northern part of Texas. Ruby and Lycurgus Bills move to Texas for him to take the pulpit of the local Methodist Episcopal church, but he dies in a tragic accident just after their son, Leslie, is born.
• The Revival
  • The continuation of the story of Laura Wilkins and Ruby Bills, twenty years later. Leslie Bills falls in love with a professor at the local university while Laura and Ruby start confronting middle age.
• Greasy:  A Parody: 
  • A joke that sprang in my head after watching Grease on the big screen again, followed by listening to the soundtrack for The Bitter Suite.  Okay, so there are not elements of the aforementioned Xena episode, except for some music. One of the few comedies I've attempted.
• Good Old Argo
  • Helen Pappas comes home for spring break, only to find that Argo, Janice's dog and her best friend in high school, has died earlier in the week.
• Helen of the Plains
  • We meet Helen Pappas and Brigid Anderson just as Helen is moving into a midwestern college town. Helen is the new professor of ancient Greek history, and Brigid is her seventeen year old next door neighbor. Brigid is fascinated by the tall, dark professor, who just happens to be the niece of Melinda Pappas.
• Marching for Our Lives
  • Brigid covers the 1993 March on Washington, much to Helen's dismay. They argue, but have a hard time coming to terms when their lives are interrupted by external crisis.
• The Past is Prologue
  • This story really ties together many strings from other stories here. It starts twelve years after Helen ends, with Brigid receiving a call from Mel Pappas telling her to bring Helen home, that Janice Covington is dying. During the story, we catch glimpses of events in each woman's past, as well as the pasts of some of their ancestors.
• Puppy dog blues
  • Brigid wants a dog, but Helen isn't interested. Aunt Mel refuses to side with either one, despite the fact that they are living with her. But, a mutt named Red comes into their lives...
• The Sound of Love
  • Okay, it's silly, it doesn't fit in with my other uber stories, but I was listening to "The Sound of Music" soundtrack...
• Fight the Good Fight
  • Brigid Anderson is handed an assignment to find out why protesters are targeting a campus minister for performing same-sex unions. She is shocked when she learns who is leading the protests. Meanwhile, a figure from Mel's past returns and it's Helen's turn to be shocked at her beloved aunt's behavior.
• Mining the Future Past
  • The last in the series of UberXena stories. Lt. Janice Pappas, chief of security on the USS Enterprise, is charged with guarding a group of archeologists, headed by Dr. Melinda Covington. They discover that they have a common element: they each own a chakram necklace that has been passed down from mother or aunt to daughter or niece for several centuries.
