I know, I'll probably say the same kind of thing in a different way, and we all have our own stories, right? It's really hard to picture when you see me now, but for the first twenty or so years of my life, I was really isolated and didn't learn a lot of social skills. I had to catch up all at once these past few years, It would take too long to list the XOC-ers I've met since January (plus, I'd be afraid of leaving someone out), but it's been another wonderful surprise. Oh, and the fantastic broccoli story from Burbank, and the broccoli t-shirt I now proudly wear in public. And London dessert party dancing photos, and Pandora10 who'll get on her computer in the middle of the afternoon and talk to me. Lately all these desert meetups have been a wonderful surprise. I was reading a little in some of your posts already. Oh, yeah, and the inexhaustible depths of Xena:Warrior Princess, that too. It's like, it's the community that makes this board a "lifelong" hangout for me, and the main forum threads (other forums, all ships, library) that ensure we'll never run out of interesting discussions. Even when we've had a 27 page thread about a given topic, you can bring the same question up again in a couple of months and get a completely new set of opinions. I've changed a lot of my Xena- related opinions since joining, and gained some new depths on the opinions I already had.

How did I miss this thread??
Why do I love the XOC...I'll start out by saying that I came close to not joining the site. (*GASP*) I've had a bad experience with another community (not Xena related) where the people were just rude and horrible to Newbies. This is NOT the case with XOC. I'm happy I decided to join because everyone, and I mean everyone, was so welcoming and friendly. Everyone has made me feel right at home. And it's great to know you're not alone out there. Also, whether we're discussing Xena or any other topic, everyone is very respectful of opinions and is always there to lend a helping ear/hand. What's not to love about this place??

I've been here for years, I used to spend a lot more time here than I have done the past year or so. At times when I've been ill and not able to do
much XOC has probably saved me from going mad with boredom. Because it's where everyone understands Xena and what it's like to be obsessed with Xena.
Sharing the obsession with other people makes you feel more confident that you're not crazy (the crazy people are everyone else who don't see
what's so wonderful about X:WP).
The discussions have helped me have a far greater understanding of the show and helped me establish my own ideas about it. And I love seeing everyone's opinions and Xena inspired art etc. And I've met so many wonderful people here - and then from here met in person at Burbank, Chicago and London. Especially elsie who sent me a pm a couple of years ago which led to her becoming one of my best e-mail friends, and eventually meeting in person at the London Convention this year. Conventions are like XOC made into a 3D world, plus the stars of the show are there too of course. But as that's only a weekend a year usually, having this board to come to everyday keeps us connected the rest of the time. Now that the series is over, seeing new posts every single day shows how Xena is current and active all around the world. If we had only the tv series without the fandom it would become all about nostalgia and I think we could end up thinking of Xena in the past tense. Boards like XOC keep it present and ongoing.

Because we all spend our time arguing over if Gabrielle and Xena "were lovers" instead of sleeping. TIme well spent I say. LOL

One thing is, that when your in need for advice, or support, everyone on XOC is loving, and caring and will help in any way. i love that.
And everyone on the board is all so nice and fun, and you can meet great friends, that actually live near you that are xena fans.. And of course to share, and talk about xena, and experiences.. i just love this place so much, i couldnt live with out it, and the people on the board. And thanking, LK - for helping me out, so much. and understanding.. Nanzm - Because she brightens up my every stormy day. Gabs - Shes just like another mother to me. Ape + wlfy - you guys are so helpful and understand. Brabz - you are one amazing girl. you make me smile. i love you all so so much.

its great having others that share in the obsession... i think its also awesome because it allows people who are only just discovering or re-discovering the
show a chance to discus it. plus it's an awesome opportunity to make friends with people who also love the show

Why do I love this place? 2 reasons:
-The intelligent and thought-provoking discussions/debates, not just about Xena, but other subjects as well. -The atmosphere here. We might get a little testy with each other at times, but the nastiness that plagues other sites doesn't exist at XOC.
Special Agent in Charge of the PLA Gabrielle: "A long time ago, I accepted the consequences of our life together-- that it might one day come to this. It has. I'm not afraid." Xena: "You always said that I was the brave one. Look at you now. If this is to be our destiny, let's see it out together. Even in death, Gabrielle- I will never leave you." -One Against an Army |

We'll I have to echo alot of other peoples answers here because I think the main reason we all love it is becasue there is a sence of belonging. And, there
are slight devides whether its subber/shipper, gab/xena, the PLA/AOX, XTW. But there is definatly a respect for everyones opinions that i think is amazing. I
also like the way things are dealt with when there is conflict because although the Mods do a fantastic job, they dont put themself up on another level, there
opinions are the same as any regular jo.
I think my reasons for loving XOC have changed alot since I joined. Way, back when I joined I loved discussing Xena and there were so many aspects of the show that I just hadnt realised and it was great to discuss all these different opinions. And along the way I meet with some really interesting people. Elsie, I always loved to see your posts because there was always an emotional depth there that I dont think Id ever really experienced before. I love the way the discussions always become so deep, because I dont think you really get that in RL, well certainly not in Scotland anyway! I think as time has went on though, ive spent less time posting about Xena and more time getting to know the people on the board. Ive made some amazing friends here and Ive got to admit when I decided to go to the con it was more to have fun with people on here, than it was becasue of any of the guests. I mean it was good to see Lucy but really Im a Ren fan. If I dont see a RL friend in a week they dont usually tend to panic, but I loved the fact that I disapeard for a few days and it was noticed. I like to come on and frequent the lounge more than the scrolls just because i feel more attached to the people now than the show. I still love Xena, but its really the fans that keep me on the board and will keep me spending obscene amounts of money on cons. At London, i had the best weekend of my life and thats more thanks to my roomies(Inky included!), the sara's and Su because we made all our spare time absolutly amazing! And there are so many more people on here that I cant wait to meet, that I'll just have to attend 2010!

an other reasons why I love XOC is because it is dedicated to my favorite duo and their epic friendship.
Xena and Gabrielle are family and that is what they are first and foremost. They love each other to the exception of every thing, and every one else and have always put each other first. They are comfortable with their sexuality hence them being as close as they were with out being conscious of it. They made you see that you can love you friend and it doesn't have to mean any thing more then it is or be ruined by sex because love can go beyond sex. I believe friends can have all those feelings and not be anything more then just that. The jealousy at times showed just how close they were to each other because they thought if either one of them had a relationship it would become between them sooner or later. In my opinion they sacrificed a lot just to be as close as they were and they are truly soul mates, but just as friends nothing more then each others half. Who wouldn't love to have a friendship as close as theirs. sig done by the lovely and talented brabmuffin
