Caption This No. 7a
01. Life after Xena... Missy Good continues to write as spirits of Xena and Gabrielle watches over (and taking notes).
(from Joanne)02. So THIS is where Gab gets ideas for her stories!
(from Jeremy Root)03. Hey Xena! Watch this cool trick. Whatever I write on my scroll, she types. Isn't that cool?
(from Jeremy Root)04. So Xena, I'm just waiting to see if Missy ever continues an intimate scene past the asterisks...
(from Meredith)05. "Hey Xena, can you move your head? I am trying to get good story ideas from Jen.."
(from Jen)06. Xena: "Aren't you taking this "Ghost in the Machine" concept a little too seriously, Gabrielle?"
(from Sgt. Parks)07. "Hey, Xena. Do you suppose Josh knows we inspired those people he's trashing?"
(from Lara Zielinsky)08. "You WANT me to smack him for that crack about fanfic writers, Gabrielle? I thought you were the pacifist."
(from Lara Zielinsky)09. "That makes it five buds, two nubs and one centre."
(from Jasper Hedger)10. "You do realise Gab, that copying fanfics into your scrolls breaks the laws of causality."
(from Jasper Hedger)11. "As I write I feel the shades of Xena and Gabrielle at my shoulder . . "
(from Jasper Hedger)12. Xena decided that this was the last time she and Gabrielle stood in for the muses on their day off.
(from Jasper Hedger)13.
(from Jasper Hedger)14. On balance Xena was glad that it was Missy Good who'd gotten the write for S6.
(from Jasper Hedger)15. Gabrielle: "Good use of plot, nice, if unusal interpretation of character . . ."
Xena: "I'm bored. Can we go now?"
Gabrielle: "Ssssh! Needs to pay more attention to grammar though . . ."
(from Jasper Hedger)16. Gabrielle: You don't look so happy. It isn't that this one involves me and Joxer together, is it?
Xena: Hmph
(from Andjam)17. Gabrielle: "Well, maybe now we'll finally get a decent script....."
Xena: "Hmph. Yeah. And it only took TPTB 2000 years."
Gabrielle: "TPTB, tartarus.... Looks like they didn't have anything to do with this one."
Xena: "Yeah, well, don't get your hopes up. TPTB just haven't gotten their hands on it yet."
Gabrielle: "What do you mean, Xena?"
Xena: "Gabrielle, what we're reading here is only one person's vision. Everyone and their dog is gonna have a chance to go over it before we finally speak those words before the cameras. It's a group process. And you know what they say about those - that a centaur designed by committee comes out a hydra."
(from icebear)18. Xena: (growling) "Gabrieeeellllle....."
Gabrielle: (writing frantically; distracted) ".....hmm?"
Xena: "No cheating! Eyes on your own scroll!"
(from icebear)19. :Xena: "Gabrielle! No copying! Isn't there something in the Bard Code of Ethics about plagarizing other people's work?"
Gabrielle: (frustrated; writing fast and furious) "Xena, you don't understand. Drs. Covington and Pappas are due to find more scrolls any minute now, and I have to get these finished and in place before they do."
(from icebear)
Caption This No. 7b
01. Xena: Warrior Princess comic meet Archie Comics...
Strength vs Curiousity...
Archie: "Hi Xena, can I give you a kiss?" Xena: "Kiss this" *and throws the chakram*
(from Joanne)02. In a misinterpretation of directions, the writers put in a redhead for Gabrielle instead of a red-shirt.
(from Jeremy Root)03. Xena: "No, that is not a hula hoop."
(from Kathy Darling)04. Gee, Ms. Xena, you don't say -- your Frisbee could really shut Reggie up once and for all???
(from Meredith)05. "When I said you were getting soft Borias, I didn't think it would go this far."
(from Jen)06. "Awright, put your eyes back your head, fratboy; ya seen one naked dancing Gabrielle, ya seen 'em all!"
(from Sgt. Parks)07. Lucy makes a mental note to ask her husband to send the Xena writing staff to Camp Wannachuck, and get some new storylines from Kevin Sorbo!!!!!
(from Mark)08. Xena guessed she was missing a cultural reference somewhere, but decided as a matter of general principle to clout the guy anyway.
(from Jasper Hedger)09. Xena: "Didn't your mother ever tell you it's rude to stare?"
(from Virginia & Lourdes S.)10. Xena: "Back off, nerd-boy, Gabrielle's MINE!
(from icebear)11. Xena: "Kid, let me take a moment to explain to you what happens to guys who fall for Gabrielle..."
(from icebear)12. So, do you think the "R" on his shirt stands for "redshirt"?
(from icebear)

I live "across the pond" in bonny old England, currently doing a Degree in Media Production, specialising in Animation. I enjoy directing, storyboarding and creating comedy scripts (I like comedy alot so that's why the funny episodes of XWP are my favourite!) I'm also getting into web design and have started to produce my own site: http://www.c-gue.demon.co.uk/. At the moment I'm living the typical life of a student and loving every minute of it.

Marian Pappaceno
Click here for Ms. Pappaceno's websiteMarian Pappaceno was born to the glitter city of Las Vegas in 1964. Always the tough gal, she was happy to play the role of the bad guy with the neighborhood kids, usually as a thief or alien-come-to-conquer-earth. An artist at heart, she draws constantly when not at her job in nuclear medicine. As mistress of The Temple Of Joxer, she does not take kindly to Ted-bashing and lusts after anyone who knows all the words to his song.
