On Hallowed Ground, Epilogue - Xena

[calliopes_muse]

AUTHOR'S NOTE: So, I'm a little late doing this.  This was submitted for Ralst's Epic Proportions challenge.  I thought I'd do a little self-pimping.  This is more or less an original fic that I have been meaning to write for a long time, but I used the basic charactistics of Xena and Gabrielle for our main characters.
AUTHOR'S NOTE 2:  I will post

I finally finished this last night reading it in bed. I had to print it off and read a little each night for the last week or so. That's the problem for me with an epic proportions story is finding the time to read it all at once. I am so glad I found the time to finish it!

This was excellent. I loved Riley's speech at the end and I am so pleased that Sam didn't bail out her loser brother. Eventually I didn't even picture X or G in my head and they all just became people in their own right, which is what an original fic should do. So great job Callie!

I should add that your setting in the religious retreat was an interesting counter point to the Guiding Light storyline right now. Sam's comment about it being a place to learn how to lie and deny seemed to hit the nail on the head for me. I feel bad for those who are so conflicted with who they are and their religious beliefs, and the deep south seems like it can be a very scary place to come out in.

So your story was both thought provoking and a great romp. I hope you consider writing more original fic, this was a fun piece. Well done.
