The Mantelpiece
A couple of people have been kind enough to give my site awards, so I had to find a place to put them... so here you can view my digital mantelpiece.
Now home to the XENADA Canadian Xenite Mailing List
Hi, my name's Xorys, and this is my Xena Warrior Princess page. If you want to see another side of me altogether, you can go and read my poetry - but be warned, none of it's directly connected to Xena in any way.
This is my own little corner of the online Xenaverse. It's just a personal effort, and it's always under construction, so don't expect too much.
This is a strictly fannish enterprise and is in no way intended to dispute,
compromise or infringe upon the property rights of the owners and creators of the TV show
"Xena: Warrior Princess", which is is exclusively distributed in domestic syndication by USA Networks Studios and internationally by Universal Television & Networks Group. See their
Official Xena Warrior Princess Page.
Pay me a Virtual Visit
OK, this is a new little feature I've added to my site... and frankly, I guess you could say it's pretty pointless. Basically it's just an invitation to have a look at where I live and work, and to see some of my Xena stuff. If that's sounds interesting enough to spend a few minutes of your time on, then click on the link, and pay me a visit.

Originally the main raison d'etre of this page was to make available some
Xena wallpapers and Win95 start-up and shutdown screens that I had created / collected,
and these are still a major part of what's here. The wallpapers especially have expanded
quite a bit since I started, and I keep scanning and editing new ones as and when I can
find good material.
I added a page of music for a little arrangement I did of the Xena Theme
for flute or similar melody instrument.
By request I added a page with links to other stuff to Xenatize your PC with - Screensavers,
Win95 Desktop Themes... There's a theme I cobbled together myself there too.
As of May 1998 I added output from a database of X:WP actor/writer/director credits that I've
put together. I've put the data up sorted by individual, by role and by ep. So if you want
to know who played what in which ep, or where you saw that warlord before, check it out. It
ain't complete and it ain't perfect, but I'll keep trying to improve it - and you can
help: if you find errors, or know extra credit info, email me at
xorys@idirect.ca
Also in May, I launched another venture - a couple of Cryptic Crosswords based firmly in
the Xenaverse. Jennifer
posted a message to ATX with the url for her Vanishing Act puzzle (link on my puzzle pages),
and after completing hers, I couldn't resist having a go myself. Mine are general Xenaverse
puzzles, not related to any specific ep, and they're Cryptic Crosswords in what I think of
as the old newspaper tradition. If you're a Xenite into Cryptic Crosswords (I hope I'm not
the only one), check them out!
On June 14th 1998 the Xenada mailing list for Canadian Xenites was launched, and I put the
home page of the list up here. If you're a Xenite living in Canada, or coming to Canada,
or just want to chat with Canadian Xenites for some other reason, go to the Xenada page
and join us on the list.
On June 23rd I added Xenaverse Cryptic Crossword #3.
On June 26th I revamped the look of the site, changing the background and colours...
I hope everybody finds the new version attractive and readable. Let me know if you have
any problems viewing any of the pages.
On July 9th I added Xenaverse Cryptic Crossword #4 - based on the ep A Day In The Life. Jennifer has added to her ep-based puzzles too - so check out her page again!
In July 1998 I did a couple of Wordsearch Puzzle Challenges, offering a custom-made tee-shirt (and a little glory) as prize - the first of these was won within 5 hours of posting, the second within about 24 hours.
On September 5th I finally (after weeks of preparation) posted my Xena Trivia Challenge. This is open until October 9th, when prizes will be given for the four top-scoring entries. So if you think you're good as Xenaverse Trivia, check it out!
On September 12th I added a link to my poetry, which I have put up on another site.
On September 20th I added 6 new animated Windows start-up screens, having finally got around to figuring out how to do that palette animation thing.
On September 24th I added sheet music for an arrangement of the theme to Hercules The Legendary Journeys, similar to the one I did for the Xena theme, and I also fixed the accidentals in the last few bars of the Xena theme
On Oct. 6th I joined the Canadian Xenites/Herculean Web Ring - I'm all for anything that helps Canadian Xenites to get to know one another!
On Oct. 9th my main Trivia Prize Challenge closed, however I announced the Australian Bonus Prize and the Trivia Hall Of Fame.
The Australian Bonus Prize was won in November 1998. All the winners and additional qualified trivia freaks are now up in the Trivia Hall of Fame.
In December 1998, I added the "Art Wallpapers" feature.
In January 1999, I finally bit the bullet and put together a set of HTLJ credits, in addition the the X:WP ones I was already maintaining.
If you're not already thoroughly familiar with the online Xenaverse, be sure to check out
the 'landmarks' page.
And who knows what else I might add, if inspiration strikes me, and other forms of reality
don't eat all my time... Perhaps more crosswords? Perhaps my own contribution to illustrated
scripts, like Salspua's (see the 'landmarks' page)? If there's something Xenite that you'd
like to see on the web and never have, then drop me a line with a suggestion...
If you have any comments or suggestions, email me at xorys@idirect.ca
This site created by text-editing the HTML - the 'old fashioned way' ;-}
OK a finally decided to put a counter on here - I would have put one on from the start, but by the terms I get this web space from my ISP under I can't use cgi, and my ISP doesn't provide a counter, so I can only use one of the public ones... Anyhow I finally went with the Link Exchange's fastcounter - click on that link to sign up for fastcounter yourself.
