The First Collar is now available in zine form from Agent with Style. My copies just arrived today and it looks great!

Usual note - I don't make any money from zines of my stories. I'm just happy they are out there in hard copy format for people who want to read them in that way. People often ask me about this: The truth is I honestly don't care about making money from my fanfic writing - I do it because I love it and want to do it. Also the characters aren't mine and there's a big grey area in copyright that I wouldn't want to step into.

Yay! Two Masters is now available in zine form from Agent With Style.

Just go to the "What's New" page and click on NCIS and scroll down.

I don't make any money from the sale of my zined stories. I wouldn't want to! I just love the writing - and sharing it with you guys and having a squee about it :-)

Just a little note to say that the "Damage" zine is now available on the Agent With Style website. Just click on the "What's New" link and go to NCIS.

A few of my other NCIS stories are available there as zines too: there are two "Friends and Lovers" compilation zines, and also, of course "Hiding in Plain Sight".

They are all stories that can be found here and on my website, but I know a lot of people enjoy having them in zine format - especially the longer stories. They are very nicely formatted and produced and Bluespirit has provided some fantastic new cover art for "Damage". The original graphic was landscape - which works better onscreen - but portrait is usually required for zines, so Bluespirit was kind enough to come up with a second graphic - which is just as lovely as the first.

Just to be clear, I don't own or run the Agent with Style website, or have anything to do with the printing side of the zines beyond giving Mysti permission to zine the stories. I don't make any financial profit from zines of my stories - I just like them to be available in a hard copy format :-).

I've got a bad headache today, but I'm just popping on here to paste this in for those who are interested.

Mysti has put the two NCIS compilation zines of my stories up on her site. No sign of "Damage" yet but I've had my copies so it definitely exists!

Details below (copied from Mysti's promo emails).

FRIENDS AND LOVERS 1

Amazing slash (Tony/Gibbs) stories by Xanthe, with a gorgeous color cover and interior artwork by Bluespirit.

"Context" – "Well, you're the only one of my boy's people I haven't had a chance to talk with yet," Jackson Gibbs told him. "And you're the one I most want to talk to, so...humor an old man, Tony."

"Puppy Love" – Tony's true inner self is revealeved, as is his heart's desire.

"Unclocked" – Tony and Gibbs deal with the issue of trust.

"Sunrise" – Gibbs says his last goodbyes before sailing off into retirement, but who knew that one final farewell would be the hardest of all?

"Andy" – When Tony receives some bad news, it forces him and Gibbs to face the consequences of a time long past.

Gibbs had been waiting for a dead body to turn up, and it seemed one just had – only not the way he'd expected. This was one of those bodies that had been hidden for seventeen years, and those kinds of corpses always stunk to high heaven when they finally rose to the surface.



FRIENDS AND LOVERS 2

More wonderful slash (Tony/Gibbs) tales by Xanthe, and more lovely artwork and cover by Bluespirit.

"Hands" – It's Christmas...and Tony has a fascination with Gibbs' hands.

"The One Where Tony and Tim Read Fanfiction" – Tony and Tim find a "Deep Six" fanfiction archive, based on Tim's series of books, but what's this thing called... slash?

"Tony's Dry Spell" – Tony finds out the *real* reason for his recent lack of hot sex.

"The Choice" – Tim and Tony fall out following a disastrous stakeout and Gibbs reveals a truly unique approach to team building.

"Tony's Appraisal" – Tony's self-review notes on his own job performance. How could it possibly go wrong?

"Ten Years On" – McGee is Director of NCIS, Gibbs is raising a small child, and Tony is teetering on the brink of total self-destruction. A lot has happened in ten years...

I'm delighted to announce that "Hiding in Plain Sight" is now available in zine format courtesy of Mysti at Agent with Style. If you want a hard copy of the story, then visit Mysti's site and look at the What's New page. Just to let you know, I don't make any financial gain from zines of my work - I just like it that hard copies are available for people who want them. I got mine through the post the other day and it looks very nice - Bluespirit's cover art looks even more gorgeous in this format!

My long, plotty Gibbs/DiNozzo futurefic, kidfic, angstfest is now done. Yay! I finished writing it yesterday. Just got the editing and betaing to do and then I'll be posting it :-). This one's about 40,000 words long and the whole premise is kind of sad but it was where my brain wanted to go - so I let it *g*.

I am pleased to announce that "Coming Home" is now available in zine form. I haven't seen it yet but people have emailed me who have seen it and they say it looks great. There's a cover illo by the talented Bluespirit. You can buy it from: http://www.agentwithstyle.com/

I don't make any financial gain from my stories being published in zine form.

I've also updated my site at www.xanthe.org with parts 5 and 6 of the ongoing Chinese translation of this story, kindly provided by Izum.

I've finally had a spare minute to put a full version of "General & Dr Sheppard" on my site at: http://www.xanthe.org/slash/otherfandoms/SGA/gendr.htm

I'm also thrilled that Mysti (Agent With Style http://www.agentwithstyle.com/) has asked to do a full size zine of "General & Dr Sheppard". She's also zining my other SGA stories. Back from the Well will be available in digest size and my other stories in a compilation zine. I'll be able to give more information when the zines are ready. I should say also that I don't make any financial gain from zines of my stories :-).
