Claire's Creations was made to house my stories and fanfics that had nowhere else to go. Anyway, please let me know what you think by email at Lecari@ntlworld.com! You can find links to all of the front covers on their relevant pages. I'll also be adding new stories to the site as I write them, so you can be sure to find my latest works up here!

General Stories

These are pretty much just stories that I've written in my spare time that don't have much to do with anything in particular - they're all my own ideas.

Not Much of an Actress

Vaguely based on some of my own experiences, this was originally a piece of coursework for my English GCSE "Personal and Imaginative" section. I was really impressed with it so thought I'd share.

XWP Fan Fiction

These are the Xena: Warrior Princess Fan Fictions I've written so far. Now that the show's over I'm hoping to complete the unfinished ones I'm writing, which I'll put up here as soon as they're done. So far I only have stand alone stories, as I've taken my "The Revenge" series down for re-writing. Sorry for any inconvenience, but it'll be back up as soon as possible.

Callisto Destroyed Cirrah

This is a good but weird one, including my twisted sense of Callisto logic... Anyway, I thought it was pretty good, adding to the confusion surrounding Xena's past. There's only a few Xena mentions, but it makes for a good read for all Xenites, not just Callisto fans.

The Bitter Sweet

This is my version of a Xena musical The Bitter Suite, as you can probably guess from the title. I thought it was hilarious, but hey, I have a strange sense of humour. The tumbleweed makes an appearance in this, twice, so tumbleweed fans can rejoice. I had to totally rewrite this since I lost the original version, so if anyone's got a copy of it, let me know ASAP!

Montages

Here's all of the montages I've made so far. Most aren't that good now but I thought they were pretty cool when I did them (which is kinda worrying now when I look back at them!) The higher up they are on the list, the newer they are. Please email me your comments and any tips on how I can improve my graphics making skills. Now that it's the summer I'm going to try and work on some new projects, but for now, enjoy!

Lucy Lawless

This montage is a tribute to the Flawless one, Lucy Lawless! It took me ages to do this one, and I think it was worth it! While I was making this I was teaching myself how to make outlines round the main focus of a picture rather than just make a box, but I think it was definitely a technique worth learning.

Every time I Count my Blessings...

I tried not to make this too subtexty, but nevermind. It was originally a message for my boyfriend, but hey -- he's dense and never got it when I used it as a wallpaper. And still hasn't. And probably never will! Anyway, I think it makes for a pretty good montage, whether you're a subber or an anti-sub!

Journey to India

In case you haven't guessed already, it's my tribute to the India series, whether intact or not. Me and the tumbleweed inside my head thought it was pretty good, despite the fact that it's in black and white. And it's not really using the latest technology available... but anyway, I think it's good. And no matter what the tumbleweed tries to trick you into thinking, I'm not going to update it anytime soon.

Have You Been Affected?

Here's a montage dedicated to one of my favourite episodes, In Sickness and In Hell! I just had to add the Aphrodite picture from The Quill Is Mightier... (another great episode in my opinion) it fits it so well it's scary!!

Xena Verses Callisto

This came from a lot of deep thought and watching the Callisto episodes too many times. Just my answer to the tumbleweed's nagging question really. In a fight between Xena and Callisto, who would win? I know it's Xena's show, so in the show she'll always win, but in a fair fight, who knows...?

My Destiny...?

This is also one of my better montages, probably one of my favourites, based around The Quest and that great quote that inspired a million (okay, maybe not quite a million!) montages.

All You Need is Love

This was meant to be a pro-subtext montage, though it can be taken either way, if you think about it. It includes some subtext shots and some others that are just shots that show them as good friends, as well as some of the more... controversial quotes from Xena and the Gabster.

Soulmates for Eternity

Here's my montage tribute to subtext! You knew it was coming. Anyways, I don't think this could be taken any way but subtext, though something tells me that it can be taken either way... it's just a load of subtext pics really, so I suppose so. Well, that could be the tumbleweed talking, but it works. Hey, I just make the stuff!!

What If...?

For those that don't understand it (the tumbleweed inside my head certainly didn't) this was from watching a Remember Nothing repeat a while ago. What if Xena didn't take up the sword at the end of Remember Nothing? Apart from a TV series and a merchandising scam down the drain, it'd also be all those memories lost for good. There's been some interesting fics out there about it that really made me think, so here's my answer - Nah!

The Debt

Well, me and the tumbleweed were inspired to make this one after watching The Debt. It really could do with a touching up, now that I've learnt how to cut images out round the edges instead of round them like a box, but until I get time, it's like this. Oh, and the tumbleweed says to tell you that the Gabrielle picture might not be from the episode, but we think it looks like Gabrielle's saying the quote since we couldn't find one of her saying it from the actual ep.
