By George, a month goes by so quickly when you are having fun. In the staff's case.... going through a major move. Everyone eventually showed up at the new offices and have finally finished sorting through the various scroll submissions. So without further adieu.... The Bards!
Extra has submitted her next scroll, a lovely vignette entitled Sleep. Please feed this worthy bard, she gets lonely down in the bards' dungeons at times.
We have finished uploading the first three chapters to Dimples' latest offering of So Close, So Far. If you liked Time and Time Again then you will surely enjoy this tale.
Laese (aka LM Townsend) has sent us two scrolls worth checking out. The first is an original piece of fiction entitled Sword of Artemis. The second scroll is a continuation of her Amazon Queen series. If you've been avidly reading this epic then check out Daughters of Ares.

Contrary to the rumours, our staff did NOT participate in the Winter Olympics this year. Instead, they spent a lovely month in the psych ward after a mass hysterical breakdown consumed each and every one of them. But we are happy to report that everyone is back on the mend, except our latest Editor n' Chief. The experts say there is no hope. So to honour our fallen leader we are bringing you a bevy of new and continuing stories. Hold on onto your seats 'cause you are surely in for a ride!
Jess has sent us the last 6 scrolls of her Storms of War. So if you are ready for a 'readathon', then dive right in starting at Chapters 59 - 72. You only have 24 more after that till the conclusion. *bg*
When Extra comes a knockin', we come a runnin'. You must check out her latest tale, Choices, for some great story telling.
Please welcome out newest bard, Sierra, by checking out her tale, Not the Norm, and then giving her LOTS of feedback.
As a tribute to Kevin Smith, Laese has written a sweet and heartwarming tale entitled, The Newest God of Olympus. Go and see for yourself.
When a tale is so engaging you don't want to finish it, you just know that a sequel is in order. Crystal has followed this sage advice and has sent us her next scroll, The Winds of Change Part Two. Read it and see for yourself.
The best for last... or so we think... please give DJ Belt a hearty welcome by diving into her first tale, The Tomb, and then showering her with tons of feedback! What are you doing still reading this? Get cracking!

Every bard has to write a first-time story at least once in their career. Read Extra's attempt, Delilah, and see for yourself why this genre is always a winner.
Nikki has sent us a sequel to her My Callisto entitled, And Unto Us.... If you enjoyed her last scroll you will certainly love reading this one!
And the best for last, Jess has sent us Chapters 53 - 58 to Storms of War. So you know what that means? The staff is going to be busy the next few days reading. *BGs*
02.11.2002
Chapters 45 - 52 of Jess' Storms of War have just been posted. If you haven't checked this story out yet what the hell are you waiting for? It is a true classic!
Enoon has just sent us the next part to his Dancing Mad tale, entitled Shavings In The Cup. Go there now and read it! That's an order. *bg*
Extra has just sent the staff the very first story she ever wrote in the Xenaverse. Entitled, Home, it is such a sweet and remarkably well written story for a first time effort. If you don't believe us, read it for yourself.
Finally, we have the next part to Crystal's Sins of the Mother entitled, Whispers. This scroll is really shaping into an amazing piece of story telling. See for yourself.
02.03.2002
Please give our newest bard, Extra22, a great big welcome by checking out the first scroll she has sent to us, entitled Regret, and then giving her tons and tons of feedback. Whatcha say?
Jess has sent us the next two sections to her wonderful Storms of War - Chapters 31 - 36 & Chapters 37 - 44. The staff were just waiting for these puppies to show up!
01.24.2002
Bindi (aka B-Bard) has just sent us the sequel to her Oh Avalon, My Amazon entitled Within The Realm Of Flying. If you got hooked on the first one then the second one will get you just as well.
Plus, the staff have just posted the next two parts to JLynn's Storms of War - Chapters 17 - 25 | Chapters 26 - 30. Run... don't walk... to this tale!
01.19.2002
Maybe it's us, but the staff were in the mood for a tear jerker and JLynn offered us the perfect scroll to fulfil that need. "Girl with a Chakram" is a bittersweet post-FIN tale that will hopefully melt your heart as it melted ours.
For those fans of Sam Ruskin's MYSTI Series we have Parts 5 thru 11 of her Mad Max and The Publisher scroll. Enjoy!
01.15.2002
Crystal has just sent us the sequel to her Sins of the Mother entitled, Sins of the Mother - Passions. If you were hooked on the first tale, like we were, then you must read the second one! But be warned... there are some heavy topics in this tale so please read the disclaimers.
We've also uploaded Chapters 11 - 16 of JLynn's wonderful Storms of War. If you haven't had the chance to start reading this series, you must start now!
01.09.2002
The staff was just giddy this morning when they found not one... but two scrolls from Enoon in their inboxes. Our fave bard has started up his Dancing Mad tale again with the next two chapters - Haggling For Sanity & Betrayed By Every Side.
For those of you who haven't had a chance to read Dimples' Time and Time Again, you now have two options when reading it. By the chapter or via the complete story.
01.06.2002
We are honoured to welcome the amazing bard, JLynn, to the Crysanium. If you want to know what all of the hoopla is about then check out the first ten chapters to her novel, Storms of War. We were awe struck by it.
Plus... Dimples has sent us the Conclusion to Time and Time Again. So if you are a fan of this story then now is the time to give her some great feedback!
Added Sea Moon by Mark Annetts to the Staff Pix archive.
01.03.2002
Welcome to 2002! The staff hopes everyone had a safe New Years and you are all ready for some fine writing in the year ahead. To start you off right this year we have an update to a continuing story, a new tale by one of our fave bards, and... drum roll... we have a new bard! What a wonderful way to start off the year. *bg*
Please give Sue Rice, our newest bard, a hearty greeting by reading and then feeding her first three stories: The Best Gift | The Best Gift 2 - The Gift of Love | The Best Gift 3 - The Gift of Family.
Mark has just sent us a winner of a story entitled Sea Moon. You must check this baby out!
Part Eight of Dimple's Time And Time Again has just been uploaded so go read this fine tale and feed this bard!
The staff have just completed archiving the rest of the 2001 'What's New' section.
