Read the fic below at your own risk. We're looking at a variety of different authors, so be prepared for some radical shifts--and some wonderful stories. Some of these are unfinished, and if anyone wants to have a go at concluding them, feel free! Note that all the stories here are NC-17.
Round
Robin I
The first one...This unfinished story is rife
with het-sex (including Mary-Sues) little bits of slash and lots of adventure.
Here was the original proposal, issued by Nemetona: "each section
must introduce one new character from the Hercules / Xena universe and
one member from our list (not yourself). Preferably the list member mentioned
would then take up the story. People have a 72-hour time limit to post
the next section. It was our first effort, and was certainly a lot
of fun for those of us involved.
Round
Robin II 1-5
6-conclusion
This RR was also begun by Nemetona, but is very
different from the previous one. Ares has lost a game, and must perform
a series of tasks with a series of other characters from HTLJ and XWP.
It's often hysterical, very slashy, with some het. Each chapter essentially
reads like a individual story, so you can always skip one and move on to
the next. A really good read all around.
Round
Robin III 1-9
10-?
"Nothing more need be said: Ares god of
war is dead." That's the title of this plot-heavy, twisty-turny story.
It goes everywhere, involves everyone, and is really a masterpiece of plot
(there's sex, too, of course). Some great writing in this one.
Slash, het, violence.
Primal
Need
There is some plot here involving the Eye of
Naxos, but mostly it's the chance for Ares and Iphicles to have a lot of
sex. Mostly slash, some het, some implicit n/c.
The
Albatross
Ares, with help from Iolaus, among others, battles
the demon war-god Dev. Lots of adventure, some sex. One of
the most cohesive of the RRs, and often cited by others as one of the best.
Slash.
Pirates
and Captives
Nebula, Ares, Herc, Iolaus and Iphicles battle
sandsharks and Discord, having sex along the way. Adventure.
Fast and fun. Het, slash.
Destiny's
Dragon
Iphicles is transformed into a dragon, and Ares
looks for his true love. Also features Herc, Iolaus, Autolycus, Cupid and
more. Fantasy. Bestiality, het, slash. Roo has written
a
wonderful sequel to this, but be forewarned: it's very dark and contains
character death, cannibalism and suicide.
The
Coming of Ares
Iphicles and Ares have a contest. Joxer,
Hercules and Ares GOL appear. This one, as the title suggests, is very
heavy on sex, low on plot. Slash.
The
Fire Down Below
Someone steals the source of Hephaestus' power,
his hammer, and Ares arranges for Autolycus and Iolaus to find and restore
it. Slash.
The
Heat of The Night
A furious Ares brings his lover Iphicles to Hephaestus
for protection while he seeks revenge against Hercules and Iolaus.
Slash.
Right
Hand Man
Ares' plan to confess his feelings to a lover
is thwarted by a stray arrow from Cupid's bow. Comedy. Slash.
Obsession
Iphicles is pursued by the Bacchae. This
round robin is different than the others: each author was allowed
to contribute only 55-word segments, even if that meant stopping in media
res. To keep the story coherent, it's presented without the usual divisions
indicating authorship; the listing of authors at the top of the page is
purely alphabetical. Violence, slash.
Oh
Boy!
Shamenka opened this one, borrowing heavily from
Deja
Vu. It moves back in time, turning into a plot against one character's
life. Each writer had a 110-word limit this time around, and, as
with Obsession, the usual divisions indicating authorship have been
omitted. Comedy. Slash, het.
Resurrection
Ares tries to assemble an army against an old
enemy. This RR, and the one that follows, were written making a concerted
effort to follow the tone of the original chapter, which gives it an impressive
unity. Violence, slash.
Doom
1-28
Doom
29-?
When the Olympians begin dying, they search for
a cause. Includes a wide cast of characters covering several pantheons,
and some very beautiful writing. Each writer had a two-page limit--and
these writers are some of the best in this fandom. Violence, het,
slash.
Dark
Horse I
Dark
Horse II
Ares pays an unusual price for his transgressions.
This story developed from an onlist discussion about centaur anatomy and
sexual practices. Take that as a warning. Slash, f/f, incest,
bestiality (if you consider centaur/god sex to be bestiliaty).
Dry
Bones
Iolaus talks to the Delphic oracle.
A/U. Slash.
Go
Tell It On the Mons Veneris
Aphrodite sends Ares, Iphicles, Joxer, Jace,
Hercules, Iolaus, Discord, Nebula, Autolycus, Draco, Salmoneus, Xena and
Gabrielle on a sex-toy scavenger hunt. M/m, f/f, m/f.
