        <description>
        <![CDATA[ So here&#39;s a question.  Most shippers are also Ares fans (d&#39;uh!).  So, how interested are you as a shipper in the character of Ares separately from his
relationship with Xena?  For instance, would you have been interested in a spinoff series about Ares (as either mortal or GoW) in which Xena was only an
occasional walk-on?  Are you interested in Ares-centric fanfiction with little or no Xena, and maybe even Ares in a relationship with another woman?  Why or
why not?

But, if the story is good, well written, pre-Xena or with Xena as a love interest, I can be tempted.

<br>
<br>
I totally thought I&#39;d already put in my two cents here...
<br>
<br>
I am incurably and unabashedly Xena-centric. I can read/watch something that doesn&#39;t feature a romance between Ares and Xena as long as they both (Xena in
particular) remain the major characters. If there&#39;s no Xena, my interest plummets pretty quickly. I&#39;d try it, though! I&#39;d check out the spinoff/fic
to see how good it is. If I find that the plot is interesting on its own, I&#39;d... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;d be interested, but I&#39;m not into other Ares pairings, like G/A (except in ETTG, of course <img src="http://board.xwponline.net/emoticons/wink.gif"> ). I like Ares as a character all on his own, but I
would rather explore other facets to his character than the romance thing. Of course, there could be exceptions if the fic is done just right. And videos are
fair game, since it&#39;s easier to imagine the character differently in those. ]]></description>

But, yes, such a spinoff could have been interesting. But I agree that Ares, as shown in RenPac Pic, could never have loved any woman other than Xena. Heck,
it&#39;s remarkable that he loved her. ]]></description>

I&#39;m definitely interested in Ares and his character development arc, though that development obviously has a <span style="font-style: italic;">lot</span>
to do with his feelings for Xena.  But I do think there&#39;s more to Ares than his love for the Warrior Princess. <img src="http://board.xwponline.net/emoticons/grin.gif">

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m too much of a Xenacentric fan to be particularly fascinated by Ares in his own right, but I could be persuaded by really good writing (on screen or
online). That does assume that Ares loves Xena, though, because it&#39;s such an integral part of what makes him attractive and interesting as a character. As
Aresbitch pointed out, the same applies to Xena as well.
<br>
<br>
So basically, I&#39;d be mildly interested, provided Ares only loves Xena. ]]></description>

I&#39;m very interested in Ares. Obviously. But I used to get very annoyed when I read a fic and found that he was involved with anyone other than Xena.
Despite my flirtatious relationship with G/A, I don&#39;t want to be anywhere near a fic or an episode of any show where Ares doesn&#39;t love Xena. I just
don&#39;t think it&#39;s possible for him to love any other woman.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hmmm, that&#39;s a very difficult decision! I can&#39;t decide between the second and the third option... I absolutely love Ares, but your question made me
think whether I like him because of his interest towards Xena or due to his personality. I must say that I would be jealous too if Ares had another love
interest except Xena but I would probably like it if the story ended up with Ares falling in love with Xena again. Also, I like the fact that Ares is
funny,that he manages to be a bad boy... ]]></description>
