Introduction
I hope to update this index whenever a new issue of The Chakram, the newsletter of the Official Xena Fan Club, as administered by Creation Entertainment, appears. The magazine is available to members of the Xena Fan Club (Galleria Tower, 100 W. Broadway #1200, Glendale, CA 91210; e-mail outback@primenet.com; web site.Articles are referenced in the form issue:page. Thus, "1:17" is issue 1, page 17.
There is no entry for Sharon Delaney, editor of the magazine, because her work as writer, editor and interviewer is found everywhere. An entry for her would read --
Delaney,Sharon    every issue:every page

Biography
Michael Klossner
I was the right age to enjoy the children's swashbuckler series of the first decade of TV -- Robin Hood, Zorro and half a dozen others. These have remained among my favorite TV nostalgia memories. The genre died on TV, as in the movies, but I am delighted that there have been three excellent, up-to-date sword series in the 1980s and 90s: Robin Of Sherwood, the Sharpe's series of TV films starring Sean Bean, and Xena.I have written chapters annotating the best books and magazines on genre films and TV in four books, all edited by Neil Barron: Fantasy Literature (1989), Horror Literature (1989), Anatomy Of Wonder 4 (1995, covering SF) and Fantasy And Horror Literature (publication expected late 1998).
Although a mere Yankee transplant, I work as a librarian at the Arkansas State Library. I contribute to Chakram, as "Boeotian".
Favorite episode: A NECESSARY EVIL (38/214)
Favorite line: Xena to Salmoneus: "Make sure you keep amusing me." THE GAUNTLET (H12/112).
First episode seen: CHARIOTS OF WAR (02/102)
Least favorite episode: THE BITTER SUITE (58/312)
