write an episode of Xena? Established fantasy/sci-fi/horror/fiction author that is. And why?

I don't know if this qualifies but... :
I think Stephen King could have made one heck of a thriller out of the FIN. He writes some really way out there stuff. Irene |

Yeah, why not broaden this to any writer? in whatever genre?
I think Megan Lindholm could have written a great episode with Xena and mortal Ares, sort of like the interaction between Ki and Vandien in her Windsingers books. She's great with plot and dialogue too. LADYKATE, ARES' PR REP HERE ON EARTH

Well, as Xena was a fantasy show with elements of drama/comedy and such at times, what ever author you think could have added something extra to the show is welcomed and just give a reason why.

Aaron Sorkin? Xena meets The West Wing? Hmmm...
It'd have to be a kinder, gentler XENA. Michael Crichton, now there's a great idea!!!! LADYKATE, ARES' PR REP HERE ON EARTH

Oooh oooh oooh I know! I know!
Tom Holt! If you don't know who he is, check out the Amazon.com page for this book: Expecting Someone Taller Tom Holt is a British author who writes comedy/fantasy books reinventing ancient mythology in a deliciously wacky creative way, and artfully mixing up the ancient and the modern... does that ring a bell? He'd have done wonders with Xenaverse!LADYKATE, ARES' PR REP HERE ON EARTH

No, no, no.

Awww.... why Ari.... thank you!
Actually Tig's question called for "established" i.e. published fiction writers, but if we're going to include fanfiction writers into the mix, I can think of a number who could have a terrific job -- shippers, subtexters, or general. (Including many of the people on this board ) I wish they'd gotten Temora to write an episode -- her X/G stories (subtext but not alt) are great.LADYKATE, ARES' PR REP HERE ON EARTH

I think that Mercedes Lackey would have been able to write a great episode or three...she knows how to really work with strong female characters. So does Gael Baudino for that matter...hrmm...that would be really interesting.
Geeze, there are so many good authors out there...Anne McCaffrey probably would have done a good job, and so would have MZB. Oh...Steven Brust would have done a fantastic Autolycus story. Heh, I could go on and on... Red |
